    Funny to see the different personalities of the deer when you change location. When I visited Miyajima, the deer were very friendly, like big dogs. I'd pet them and scratch their necks. Lovely!

    Nice job with editing this video. That's the first time I've heard of the Brighton Tea Room. It seems fairly close to authentic. Although the English breakfast actually looks healthy, which feels like a contradiction. 😂 Keep up the good work!

    Great to have you back! Good to see the deer at Nara are getting their crackers. I heard that during Covid they were wandering into the city center in search of food and causing chaos! Amazing love hotel - how much was that room for the night? Looking forward to see what’s next! Thanks for your hard work.

    • @AlwaysAway
      @AlwaysAway  Рік тому

      Thanks! Ah bless them haha, they are very persistent with the crackers 😂 I can't remember exactly what it cost but it was around the £200 mark, not something we would usually spend on a hotel, but I'd said if we come across a room with a pool we had to do it. It'd be fun to go back with friends and spend the day 😂 Thank you! 💖

    How does the funding / costs elements work for vanlife? I've always been puzzled on how people are able to make it work.
    However it is awesome to see people living their best life, I hope you continue to do so!

    • @AlwaysAway
      @AlwaysAway  Рік тому +4

      Unless you're staying around the same region working, working online from our experience is the only viable way to keep vanlife up, basically the same as being a digital nomad unless you have lots of savings or passive income from somewhere else. I'm very lucky to work online so it's possible full time!
      But it can also be a cheap way to live, for example in Japan we rented this teeny van for £30 a day, while most hotels were roughly £80 and up, and petrol was so cheap because of its small engine. In Japan it's legal to sleep anywhere in your vehicle and there's loads of places to bathe and shower so it's ideal for vanlife! :) In Europe we have our own van and it's so big it's practically an apartment so we can work and live much easier out of it than this tiny Japan van haha

    Legend says those trucks are still running their engines 😀 kidding aside; why do they do that❔to keep the heater/AC running (inside the trucks) for the drivers❓

    • @AlwaysAway
      @AlwaysAway  Рік тому

      They for sure are 😂 There would be a solid 50 trucks parked next to each other running for hours, I probably would've died from CO2 poisoning if I'd opened the windows at night lol. I thought it must've been for AC but they'd do it even when it was a decent temperature. Only thing I could find online was that their work radios wouldn't work without the engine. Lame excuse though! It's actually illegal there, but no one seems to care
