The Truth About Japanese Language School in Japan...Was It WORTH It? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I attended a Japanese language school in Tokyo for one year, and this is my honest review of whether studying Japanese in Japan is actually worth it.I share what Japanese language school is really like, why classroom lessons made me lose motivation, how grammar, vocabulary and kanji were taught, and why real conversations with Japanese locals helped me improve faster. If you are thinking about attending a Japanese language school in Japan, this is the honest experience I wish I had heard before
My Honest Opinion About Taiwan: It Made Me Rethink Travel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Taiwan completely changed the way I travel. 🇹🇼 In this honest Taiwan travel review, I share why doing less made me love Taiwan even more. From exploring Taipei and cycling along Taiwan’s east coast to drinking far too much bubble tea, meeting incredibly friendly locals and worrying about venomous snakes. After living in Japan and travelling through Korea, I never expected Taiwan to become one of my favourite places in Asia. Is Taiwan worth visiting? Here is my honest opinion. #TaiwanTravel #Taiw
Korea Is Not the Better Japan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, I’m comparing Japan and Korea after living in Tokyo for one year and travelling through Korea for three weeks. Everyone online says Korea is the cheaper, cooler, better Japan, but honestly… I disagree. I talk about Tokyo vs Seoul, personal space, politeness, friendliness, public behaviour, vegetarian food, and why Korea surprised me in some ways but still wasn’t fully my cup of tea. Japan and Korea are both worth visiting, but they are not the same country with different prices.
