Tokyo DISNEYLAND Resort Vlog and Review! (Backpacking Japan Vlog Ep. 4)
Welcome to Tokyo Disneyland! It’s my first time in a Disneyland other than Disney Anaheim (in my hometown). I think we had such a successful day as we got to ride nearly every ride we wanted to, watched all 3 parades (front row seats to the Electrical Parade), and got to eat lots of treats!
Thank you so much for watching and supporting my channel! I hope to inspire you to try something new, travel the world, and push your comfort zone!

ABOUT ME 💁🏼♀️

FAQ’s ❓
-How do you afford to travel?
I have had 2 jobs since I was 15 years old and made sure to save at least 90% of that for travel and school. I always have a temporary job when I am home but hope to be able to travel full time to consistently make videos!
-Is traveling solo safe?
I want to say the answer to YES! With lots of caution to everything you do and following my ‘basic backpacker rules’ you should be able to remain safe!
See here for my backpacker rules: ua-cam.com/video/SFKaxYND1OM/v-deo.html
-What has been your favorite countries?
I LOVED Mexico, Nicaragua, Colombia and Ecuador. I know this is a lot but they are all amazing for backpacking throughout the country, meeting international friends, and keeping to a backpacker budget!np

did you find it easy to make friends at this hostel? I am going alone in october and feeling so nervous I wont't make friends here. Were there other solo travellers?
❤️ From 🇱🇰 ❤
Sorry don't think you can go from Gibraltar
Too much of a princess for me I'm out
Nice video, beautiful view of city ❤❤❤
Thank you very much!
Beautiful city❤❤
It really is!
Beautiful video and wonderful music 🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶
I'm glad you like it
ok this is like the 3rd video I've watched about a woman talking about the cat-calling on in Belize😮
Yes… be careful and try not to let it affect your trip :/
she's also watching backpacking banana!!
Yes!! Her channel is great!
Watchout for your clothes . Or go back
Hi Mackenzie! I love you’re videos. I’m wondering if you can quickly breakdown how you got from Mancora to Huarez? Was there a direct bus? Thanks! :)
Yes! There was a direct night bus I took but I believe there are also day bus options (they just waste a whole day)
Sorry about you neck and the rip off.. but is not only in Buenaventura.. is in everywhere !! Even here in London we don’t trust cabs anymore with the tourist unfortunately.. but you miss the most beautiful place at the pacific .. Uramba !! Natural reserve 🥰🥰🥰 maybe next time .. ahh if you pibe like to traveling to Colombia .. we thousand of Colombia s in 🇺🇸 just ask anyone ☺️ good luck 😉
Yes this is very true!! We have to watch our backs as travelers everywhere we go and always stay safe! Thanks for watching 😊
where is your friend partner is he left
This was many months before I met him! Just posted late
Where/how do you purchase the busses?
At the local bus stops/ on the bus!! It is super easy to find the stations. They are usually very central and locals are always happy to direct you!
I need this video exactly 2 weeks ago 😭 I was a few blocks away from Shibuya crossing and didn’t know about it 😂
Oh dang!!! Maybe you crossed the street but didn’t even know it 😅
I will watch this in full, later. We are a Disney family. Anaheim.? Really. Nothing like WDW! Been there more than a dozen times. Love the joy you're showing here.
I’ve never been to Disney world! But would love to go!!
Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish
Thanks you so much!!
So glad you told me about these hidden gems... shibuya crossing, harajuku, senso-ji, tokyo tower,... i never would have known, these places are so hidden!! Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed!
Japan looks amazing 😍 hopefully i can travel there some day ~
I hope you can as well!
Welcome ❤
Thank you!
Looks like a great time, as always. Glad you were back with Alex for this trip; he's so...something. Not sure, what, but I like him. Anyway, what makes you choose one destination over another when in the city/location? Nara Park seemed like fun, but not the most usual place to go? Also, you really have to put together a "How to Travel the World With a Smile" guide book. Your travels are so much fun and varied. Also, how to budget for a trip would make a great "How to" book.
Those are some great ideas! I would like to start a blog or write a book with some of this information 😆
Entertaining and interesting thanks
Glad you think so!
Last year my class and other 6th graders went to Seward for a trip I had all type of snacks and drinks and we looked at all the mountains and ocean etc we played on our iPads and phones
Seward is beautiful right!!
My daughter and I were just talking yesterday about how her husband would like a pet racoon, and she said NO. Nothing with thumbs. They're cute, sure but they are way too smart. The curl in your hair looked great. Sorry that first temple was closed on Tuesday. Looks like you had a great time in S Korea. Nice editing and such, too.
You are so so attentive to every part of the video, thank you!! Raccoons are cute but yeah idk about personally having one as a pet 😅🫢
❤❤❤❤
So beautiful

One of your videos is not ranked in a UA-cam search. Video SEO is very important to get your UA-cam videos in search results. If you want, I will get your video to UA-cam search rank by SEO
Your video thumbnail is so attractive, and your video quality is so high, but you don’t have enough views on your UA-cam video. Why this problem? I think you should use targeted video tags on your UA-cam video and promote it on the top social media sites.
alex has left..where is he now
Haha! He will meet up with me again in a week in Japan!
Having your video rank high in UA-cam search is crucial for its success. I can help you improve your video's visibility through SEO.
exactly BUSAN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>seoul
Yes!!
Welcome to the Philippines
Thank you!
awesome
Another great video. Now that I've paid enough attention to know that you're back here in the states, I'm extremely impressed by your commitment to upload on a regular basis. As a geezer, I'm not on Instagram, but I think my daughter has begun to follow you. Glad you got to experience the refreshing and bracing experience of the cold ocean. I did a polar bear-type thing a few years back as part of a fundraiser. Whew, what a rush. Keep the videos coming and all the best.
I must visit Busan now :D
Yes you should!
amazing video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
no audio
What do you mean? My audio is working!
Jyst try... jomalig island in quezon you can google ...the hidden island
Your video content is great but your video is not reaching more people. Because of your video optimization need to be improved. If you want, I will help you as the channel grows and video views increase
Thank you! If you have any tips, comment them!! I’d be happy to read your suggestions 😊
Thank you very much. I visited your channel and saw that your video SEO score is very low. To increase seo score you need seo related title, description, tags in accoding to your niche.
👍
3 weeks ago, we were there. All I can say is...CANNOT WAIT to go back!!! What a true Paradise!
I can’t wait to go back too!!! it was amazingggg!
We Filipinos loves you guys 👍🥰❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
We love you!

Cheers!!
Mam end sir welcome to that philipines❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Always stay safe and enjoy the beaches, nature, food, culture and the people ❤️ 🇵🇭
You show us beautiful places but very short. How can we enjoy it?
You mean the video length is short? Would you rather a longer vlog? I didn’t think people would stick around to the end of a 20 minute video.
🇵🇭❤️😍
