A Week with Chiharu is a seven-day glimpse into the life of 91-year-old Chiharu as she spends time with her son Mitsu and me in Buren Bay, Japan. Through ordinary moments—sharing meals, singing, sailing, walking, and simply enjoying each day's adventures—I'm exploring what everyday life can teach us about aging well, community, and the art of growing older. Day 4 The day began, as it often does, with sunrise, Radio Taiso, and breakfast. Today's special treat was locally grown passion fruit. After breakfast came haiku, before Chiharu headed off with her son Mitsu to enjoy lunch with friends and an afternoon of music and singing with singer Tomo-chan. Chiharu has a large appetite for life. She enjoys physical activity, but she's equally drawn to creativity, conversation, music, friendship, and good food. As I continue my research into Japan's longevity communities, I observe that aging well is about more than exercise or diet. It is remaining fully engaged with people, with place, and with life itself. Tomorrow... Day 5.

We found a hike to some ruins across from the bay of our marina and decided to go investigate. This was an amazing day, with route finding, a beautiful cemetery, epic views and ruins at the top. They are outside the village of Orahovac, Montenegro. A hike we will never forget. We are so fortunate to live such an amazing life. 💕

Everyone comes for Komodo. But beyond the dragons lies a journey through remote islands, vibrant reefs, hidden waterfalls, and communities that continue traditions shaped by the sea. Over 9 days and 8 nights, we followed ancient sailing routes across Eastern Indonesia, waking to new horizons each morning and ending each day beneath unforgettable sunsets. We swam alongside manta rays and whale sharks, planted coral through Sailing for Good, explored volcanic landscapes, and experienced moments that reminded us how much of the world still feels wonderfully wild. This was more than a trip to Komodo. This was Komodo & Beyond. #oceanview #Indonesia #sailingadventure #wonderfulindonesia #liveaboard #sailing #RajaAmpat #Komodo #Flores #SpiceIslands #KomodoAndBeyond #KomodoNationalPark #SailingIndonesia #ExploreIndonesia #LiveaboardIndonesia #IslandExpedition #AdventureTravel #HiddenIndonesia #OceanJourney #SeaTrek #MantaRays #WhaleSharks #SailingForGood 👍 If you found this video interesting, don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more adventure in Indonesia through Indonesian eyes!
