    The Scariest Part of Solo Traveling

    When people think about solo travel, they assume the scary part is getting lost, missing flights, eating alone, or not finding friends. I thought that too. But the truth hit me after I came home. The scariest part is how much you change, and you do not even notice it while it is happening. You come back and everything looks the same, same streets, same friends, same routines, but you are not the same person anymore. And suddenly you do not fit into your old life the way you used to. This episode is about the part nobody warns you about, the quiet identity shift, the distance that can grow with old friends, and what it feels like to return home as someone new.

    Kyoto in Winter Hits Different

    Kyoto in winter hits different, cozy, calm, and seriously underrated. During our January break from language school, I took the shinkansen from Tokyo and spent a few days in Kyoto with a friend. Temples, traditional streets, way too much matcha, a super weird cat museum in the countryside, and of course a mandatory Pokémon Center stop. I’ve been to Kyoto three times and this was the calmest experience by far.If you’re planning Kyoto, I honestly think you should stay at least 4 days so you can enjoy the vibe without rushing.Let me know what your favorite Kyoto spot is, and what city I should vlog next.

    The Truth About Working While Traveling

    Travel is not free. Unless you were born into the “my parents own property” club, you will work. In this episode I break down the three real ways I have funded long term travel: volunteer work for a bed and food, an online job that paid well but bored me to death, and chaotic underpaid part time jobs in Japan. I talk about what to expect, what not to romanticize, and how to make working abroad feel temporary, not like a cage, so you can keep traveling without burning out.

    Oops, I Ruined My CV by Traveling

    Is traveling multiple times a mistake or just a bad look on paper?In this episode, I talk honestly about CV gaps, career anxiety, and why choosing travel over stability feels both freeing and terrifying. From leaving a “safe path” to living in different countries, this is a real conversation about fear, fulfillment, and why a perfect CV doesn’t always mean a fulfilled life.
