    One of my new year's resolutions was to travel alone to a new city! I've been to Tokyo twice before but it was my first time in Kyoto and although I didn't do much, I enjoyed the freedom of doing whatever I wanted to. I DO think this will be my last time traveling alone as I enjoy having company way too much but I'm still glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to try something new :)

    OMG OMGG I CANNOT NOT RELATE! 😭😭 I also just went on my first ever solo travel last week (and i feel that it may also be my LAST! HAHA)!! Your realization about the food/menu??? IS SO SPOT ON! I wanna eat a lot, and most of the menu are for sharing so i ended up eating mostly in convenience store 😭 I also just made it short, 2d1n, coz i don't think I can handle more days being alone in a diff country!! But you made ut better, your timing of arrival and choice of accommodation is well planned. I arrived at midnight, check in is not until 3pm, and i chose a hostel!! If I ever will do it again? I will surely plan the timings more and my accomm ;( but omg im so glad i saw this vlog. I felt like finally someone understood what i felt and shared what i couldn't speak last wk hahahah Thanks, Ashley!

    After much experience, I've concluded that for me a week is the outer limit for traveling solo. It helps to sign up for guided walking tours or group day trips or cooking classes or whatever so that you get some social interaction.

    Glad you had a good trip in Kyoto! The food looked so good! I've been to Japan on quite a few solo trips and also with family and friends but I'm a bit of the opposite and love travelling alone even though it's nice to have someone to share immediate experiences with and queuing for stuff is less boring. I think one or two other companions is good but not a bigger group. My bucket list is to visit as many prefectures as I can but Kansai is one of my top destinations so far! ❤

    6:40 omg My biggest culture shock moving to Japan, specifically Kyoto, was learning to walk on the left side. I sometimes run into people even now because other parts of Japan walk on the right side so Japanese people who are visiting Kyoto may also walk on the right side instead of the left, and it's even more confusing in tourist-heavy areas because the tourists are walking on the right and the locals on the left and I don't know which way is better hahaha

    I’ve done solo traveling in a few places and tbh I’m an i and I actually enjoyed so much solo traveling… I think it’s more difficult for someone who’s an extrovert as they need to share their experiences. Solo travel is definitely a self reflection and you can gain a lot of insights and empowerment from yourself.

    I've wanted to travel to Japan for like 9 years now, but it's been so long since I took Japanese class that I've forgotten all the useful basics. Plus flying is so expensive.
    One of the nice things about solo travel is not having to worry about if your buddies are enjoying the same attractions/food/etc. Scheduling is simple and flexible if you're not meeting up with people. It's nice to just go breathe, take it all in, then talk about it when you get back.
    Hope you enjoyed the experience. ♡
