Osaka, Japan is not what you think (+ Day Trip to Nara) [Travel Vlog 2024]

Osaka, Japan is not what you think (+ Day Trip to Nara) [Travel Vlog 2024]

Osaka, Japan! Everyone knows about the food — but is that all that this city has to offer? I was curious to find out during my visit to this city.

Luckily, I was able to meet up with a local friend to get their perspective later in this video. This vlog also showcases some footage from an afternoon trip I took to the ancient capital city, of Nara.

I hope you enjoy this video from my last stop in Japan. It was quite bittersweet to move on from this country. Out of 30 countries I’ve visited in my life, Japan proved to be one of my favorites. Fortunately, there are many more exciting stops to come during this journey 🙂 Thanks for coming along ~ All the best, Vlad

Less of a travel vlog – more of a video journal. Like a podcast in motion ~

Come join me on my travels as I share personal reflections and discussions with friends on topics focused on mindfulness, making the most out of life, travel, self-improvement, health/fitness, and anything else that happens to be top of mind.

I can’t guarantee that the discussions will be consistent video-to-video, but what I can promise you is that the channel will always keep it real – 100% organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised, non-GMO, authentic reflections 🙂

enjoy ~
