alone in japan at 19 – it changed me

first solo trip. definitely not the last.

i spent 9 days alone in japan at 19. no group, no plan — just me and a country i’ve always wanted to explore. from the quiet moments in kyoto to the chaos of shibuya. i loved every part.

didn’t have a ton of time to edit this, but i wanted to get it out there. it might feel fast-paced or a little chaotic, but honestly — so was the trip. appreciate you for watching and coming along with me.

midway through the trip, i got to talk to yutaka someya. check him out here: https://www.instagram.com/___y4__

📍 visited: kyoto, kobe, toyko (shibuya)
📷 shot on: iphone 15 pro

note: there was a claim for a song from 2:11 – 2:47, if the editing seems odd there, it’s because it is and youtube’s native tool to fix these things is terrible. sorry for that section!
