about me: 29-yo, born in France 🇫🇷 raised by Portuguese immigrants parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🇵🇹 I never had the chance to travel when I was younger so, as soon as I managed to save up some money, I took off 🛫 At 19yo, I moved to live and study for a year in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 At 22, I moved for an internship in Miami, USA 🇺🇸 before getting another opportunity to work and study in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 At 24, I did my last master degree semester as an exchanged student in São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷 Fell in love with the country, got a job, and been based in Rio de Janeiro ever since. After some personal health issues, I realized life is too short not to explore the world more… I’ve always loved documenting my days (journaling, scrapbooking) and knowing the next months would be full of travels, I thought, why not vlog it? I’m sure future-me will be very happy to look back at these videos! Hope you do too ☺️

🚨Apologies 🚨I’d like to apologize for the quality of some clips of the video, I had a bug I tried to fix the whole day… with no success 😩 The video quality was perfect on my computer, but as soon as I uploaded it on Youtube, some clips’ colors became overexposed…. So sorry for this! 😭

🚨お詫び 😩 Youtube ごめんなさい！ 😭

This train reminds me of the one in Spirited Away! The interior looks retro but well-maintained and so very clean. The house and garden are beautiful! I was particularly impressed by how good it looks despite its old age. The doggie is so sweet! The strawberries were packaged like they were gems! No wonder they were expensive LOL But seriously, I heard fruits are expensive in Japan but it's always quite a surprise every time I see the prices! 🏠

🏠another peaceful vlog it’s incredible that house remains in the same family for so long that was interesting also the fact that France is the #1 country that reads manga that’s a lot 😅 I’m enjoying the slow moments of your visits and give an insight of another perspective of life.

What a beautiful historic house, it's so nice you got to explore so many normally unseen parts of Japan that tourists don't get to see, so thank you for documenting them here. Also can I be very nerdy and say how envious I am that Japan has such clean, shiny and aesthetically pleasing trains?! Couldn't be more different to trains here in the UK 😂😂🏡

That Taikoukyo historic house and garden was beautiful, awesome that you were able to stay for a while. It reminded me of Murin-an, another Kyoto historic house with a magnificent garden [2Q6P+JW Kyoto]
I don't particularly seek any specific type of manga (actually that's not entirely true, there's a whole list of subgenres that I wouldn't touch...), as long as it is "grown-up", interest is always triggered by the quality of the artwork, so speaking of _shōjo_ manga, I've recently started a series I think belong to that genre that I'm really enjoying and that, as a bonus, contains a lot of fascinating cultural context info, Konbini de Kimi to no 5-funkan. Have you read it?

I love your Japan exploring videos!
Do you live in Japan or visiting?

This videos production and editing feels sooo Japanese.
