first time in japan 🇯🇵 Your Name stairs, APA hotel and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden 🌳

As I was spending 3 months in Seoul as a digital nomad, I decided to gift myself some holidays: a two-week trip to Japan! My FIRST trip to Japaaaan!! 😍

I will be posting every single day of the trip as daily (silent) vlogs – hope it will help you plan your own trip… or make you feel like you’re traveling with me! ☺️

In this week’s video: arriving in Tokyo, going from Narita Airport to Shinjuku Station, checkin at APA hotel, getting emotional at the Your Name stairs, walking around Shinjuku and the Gyoen National Garden. Bonus: my first impressions of the city/country!

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 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 ☺️
