    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 :)

    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. ♡

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.
