Description Ten days ago, I thought I was coming to observe. I left having learned far more than I expected. This final episode begins, as so many mornings did, with Radio Taiso. Then it was time to say goodbye. Before Chiharu left, I asked her two simple questions. What was your favorite part of your time in Amami? Without hesitation, she smiled and answered: "Sailing the boat." Then I asked: What's your secret to living happily? Her answer was beautifully simple: Walk lots. Eat anything. Be interested in everything. During these ten unexpected days together, I watched Chiharu sail, sing, sketch, explore, laugh, make new friends, enjoy old ones, and embrace every day with curiosity. Ironically, the one thing she was disappointed to miss—because of the delayed return from Kikai Island—was our planned karaoke evening together. As we said goodbye, I smiled and said, "Karaoke next time." Over the coming weeks, I'll be writing a longer article reflecting on these ten days with Chiharu, what I learned, and how her way of living aligns with so many of the patterns I've observed while researching aging and longevity across Japan. For now, I simply want to say: Thank you, Chiharu and Mitsu, for allowing me to hangout with you. It`s been an honor. About this series What began as A Week with Chiharu unexpectedly became ten unforgettable days. Through ordinary moments shared with Chiharu and her son Mitsu, I've been exploring what everyday life in Japan can teach us about longevity, community, curiosity, and living well at every age. https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/

Wpisode 6 now up! Sailing Ibiza ⚓️⛵️ We anchored up in Cala Talamanca, Ibiza and hopped off the boat for a couple of days to visit several inland sites. This would be the first time we had left the boat unattended at anchor overnight, so we were a little nervous, but we had a good hold and had set the anchor alarm! As the previous owners had said to us “you need to learn to trust the anchor”… Day 1 - Evissa - Ibiza Old Town! 🏰 We hope that you will follow us on insta, Facebook and YouTube - SAILING CAT KAIA With: @vikaspiritualmentor @satkaratemple @byoceanandearth #sailing yacht #sailingstagram #sailingtrip #sailingaway #sailinglovers #sailinglife #sailingday #sailingboat #nightsail #sailing #sailingworld #sailingboats #sailingadventure #sailinglifestyle #sailinginstagram #sailaway #bylandandsea #travel #wanderlust #nature #adventure #boatlife #sailingday #lagoon440 #lagooncatamaran #pug #borderterrier #ibiza #spain #evissa
