After years of travelling slowly across Japan — by sailboat, train, and on foot — I realised something unexpected: The hardest lessons weren’t about learning more. They were about unlearning assumptions. Not facts. Narratives. Cultural shortcuts. This short introduces a five-part reflection on 5 things I had to unlearn — and what that reveals about longevity, community, and aging. You can read the full essay here: https://www.nevertoolateacademy.com/post/five-things-i-had-to-unlearn-about-japan From the forthcoming book Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan. #JapanSolo #Longevity #SlowTravel #HealthyAging #Community #FieldNotes

Only 1 hour sail away from Dubrovnik, in the Adriatic Sea, are the Elaphiti Islands. This archipelago, consisting of 13 small islands, has 3 large islands which are inhabited: Koločep, Lopud and Šipan. We visited all three islands. Koločep is the smallest island and also the southernmost permanently inhabited Croatian island. We filmed with our dron the bay in which we were with our catamaran on a pier. The typical Mediterranean vegetation is clearly visible here: due to the many dry and warm days, there are many pines (so conifers instead of deciduous trees), palms, olive trees, stately cypresses and succulents are also common. in the Middle Ages, Koločep used to be an important shipbuilding site. For instance 2 members of Christopher Columbus’ crew of the year 1492, were sailors from this island. Now about 230 people live here.
