On September 20, 2016, Tracey and I moved to Tokyo, Japan to pursue our dreams of living life to the fullest and being in a country that we are absolutely in love with. Our favourite quote goes, “We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” This move certainly was not easy by any means. In fact, we both sacrificed many things back home to make this a possibility. Tokyo is a very vibrant and exciting place. We have created this channel as a way to log our memories while being able to share many of our experiences with you all. We are very excited to provide entertaining and educational content! Please like this video and subscribe!
Cheers,
Thomas

I'm new to your channel and I fell in love so fast with you guys! If you don't mind me asking, are you guys permanently residing in Japan or did you just go overseas with a work visa? I don't mean to pry, but I am also planning on moving abroad and I don't know the proper documentation needed to do so :X Also, I wish you guys the best of luck!

Just discovered your channel. So happy to have found you still so early in your journey. Can't wait to feel you guys become friends watching your vlogs.
Just stumbled upon this channel and I'm loving it. Thanks for posting up content for everyone. Moving to Japan is definitely in my 5-year plan. I had a student visa before but I'm back home in Canada now. Japan is definitely like a second home
Awesome shots of Calgary guys! #loveyyc
I want to move to japan some day with my other half, but we are struggling to come to terms with being away from family, it would be uk to tokyo, what advice could you give as I'd love to hear what you think
Hi guys, stumbled across your video showing your apartment, and now I'm a subscriber. Love the content of your vids and the quality of the filming and editing. Japan looks amazing and hopefully one day I'll visit it too. Keep up the good work, best wishes from the UK X
Do you guys speak fluent Japanese as well? Also what were you guys working as before in Canada 🙂 I would love to experience moving to Japan for a year!
WATTT?!? Cant believe you guys are from Calgary too, I've watched a bunch of your videos before this one and im so… just wow, wish you guys the best of luck and what is it like in Japan compared to here? (I'm just wow I dont know what to say) #yycphotographer
You two are really inspiring! I hope to move to Japan one day after I finish my early childhood education degree. Thank you for showing me it is possible and allowing everyone to join you on your journey!
Much love from Australia 💕
just discovered you guys, now i'm going to ruin my life this weekend and watch all your videos in envy. greetings from las vegas!
Hi! I had just stumbled on your channel and I just wanted to say that your videos are so well edited and pleasing to watch! I feel so inspired by both of your travels (I am also a Canadian and I am a nursing student right now). It's really cool to have a glimpse into your travels and hopefully one day I can embark on a few of my own!
3 months on YouTube already 7000 subs
Awesome photography and editing. You guys are great!
What a great video! Very pleasing to watch. I just discovered your channel. Looking forward to watching your vlogs!
you guys inspired me so much to do my own vlog too!! Thanks TT!! ^^
🙂
Catching up from first video now…subscribing…keep it up guys…
I just found your videos. Subscribed and now about to watch them all from the beginning! lol
I uust discovered your channel and have fallen in love! i really like your editing style. I went to japan 2 weeks ago and watching all if these videos make me miss it haha. Maybe I'll move to Japan one day, you guys made the big move so maybe I can too!
Knowing you're leaving Japan soon, I had to come back to the beginning for sentimental reasons to watch your first Youtube vlog again. The editing and filming on this is so good. It's so artistic and creative. No wonder I was hooked from the get go here. I always look forward to your vlogs. May your future travels be wonderful, wherever they may take you. And I hope you bring us along for the ride too! Love you guys.
Awesome video! I'm actually from Canada myself and planning on moving to Tokyo in late September, any tips? 🙂

I'm from Nova Scotia and I have dreamed about traveling the world to experience different countries and cultures… Japan is at the top of my list but what worries me is the difference in language.. I don't speak Japanese so would that make it hard for me to visit Japan?
woah no way im from calgary!
Im gonna binge watch this channel! 😂 i want to travel but i cant do anything yet so i guess i will have to live through this channel 😂💕
gross calgary
This is wild!!! I’m from Calgary and I’ll be moving to Japan next summer to teach English, I’m just finishing up school at the UofC and I’m so happy I found your channel!!!
Love Japan
I had been living in Calgary for more than 17 years and now I live in Hong Kong. I know Japan and Calgary are totally different places that so many things you need to get used to. I hope you achieve your dream that can fulfill you life with more possibilities!
