    In today's video: it's a beautiful sunny day in Tokyo - let's explore a new neighborhood ☀️ I started my day at 9AM for a latte at Onibus Coffee, watching the trains pass by their window 🚃 I got to update my travel journal and plan my last days in Japan 🥺 I continued this splendid morning to Flour + Water, a very popular brunch place in Tokyo! 🥐 Delicious 😋 At 12PM, I was one of the first ones to visit the (original!) store of Traveler's Factory in Nakameguro (I spent some time there - shopping and writing some postcards - and I will show it to you in one of the next vlogs!). I walked around the quiet streets of Nakameguro and stopped by the last café of the day: Under the Mat! Such a good surprise! I got to write in their international guests book ☺️ ❤️ I ended this perfect day in the perfect way: watching the latest Miyazaki movie in a movie theater before heading back to my hotel to see the sunset from the rooftop 🌆

    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 and study 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 ☺️

    Hey Milo 👋Thanks for sharing your experience in this solo trip. Your vlogs and way of travel inspired me to finally schedule a solo trip to Japan 🙇
    Nakameguro seems so nice and calm, would you recommend staying there during a 4-day visit to Tokyo? I'm planning my trip and would like to stay in a more calm neighbourhood. And I'll try to add another stick to that Brazil map 😄

      Omg this is awesome!!! ❤️ I am so glad you're making it happen!! ☺️ This is going to be such a wonderful trip! 🥳
      If you're looking for a quiet neighborhood, I totally recommend Nakameguro! Something I do when I plan a trip (and I recommend to all travelers!) is to use the "pins" function of your Google Maps account: pin all the places you'd like to visit during your stay (cafés, museums, palaces, restaurants...)! At some point (and if you're lucky!), the neighborhoods you should stay in will appear on the map... For you to minimize commute! 💪 I did this for Tokyo and Kyoto, and I was always very happy with my choices of accomodation because it was always very practical to follow my travel plans!
      Are you living in Brazil right now?? 😍 send me a pic of the 🗺 book when you'll go to the café please!!

    Favourite cafe was Onibus ( play of words with omnibus and oni, the Japanese folklore creature? wonder if they got tired yet of westeners asking what happened to the m... 😏), interesting architecture and use of space, outside and upstairs, plus of course the fascinating train traffic.
    It hit me watching this vlog that your colourful watercolours remind me of Florent Chavouet's work ( _love_ his Manabeshima island one), wonder if he's one of your sources of inspiration. Obrigado

      Indeed! I did think there were a few metaphors I couldn't grasp... The frustrating thing is, when I finished watching it, I went on the Internet/Reddit/Forums to find some answers and try to read what smarter people had to say about it... But there was nothing yet! 😂 The movie had only been out in Japan, in Japanese at that time 😭 I had to wait a few weeks to read some movie analysis 😅

It was a tad confusing even in my own language the first time I watched it, I can only imagine what an experience it must have been in Japanese ahah.
