hello, itβs niva again!
this is a long one, but if you love cosy vibes, make yourself a hot tea, grab a blanket and get comfy π₯° personally i love long videos where i can just switch off and enjoy π
this one took a lot longer than i thought it would but there were so many memories captured that i wanted to be able to come back here and reminisce.
this is the fourth video in the japan series. this time we visited nagano to tick off one of dave’s bucket list items: see snow monkeys! and it was worth it. as always we ate lots, our ryokan hosts were so wonderful and their hospitality was unparalleled. they kept us well fed and comfortable. shout out to kamei no yu! γγγγ¨γ γγγγΎγ! so if this sounds like your vibe, please keep watching ^_^
i hope this series makes you smile, more videos coming soon!
