moving to japan alone at 22 | why i'm leaving everything behind

Why I Decided to Move to Japan at 22 | My Journey to This Life-Changing Decision
this video is a little different than the content I have posted in the past. it's more of a personal story about why I’ve decided to move to Japan. i walk through the mindset shifts and experiences that brought me to this decision-from navigating life after COVID-19 to discovering what i really want for my future.
while this video doesn’t show me in Japan yet (my move is happening in two weeks!), it’s an honest reflection on what led me here and why I’ve decided to take this leap of faith. ive had sooooo many thoughts and emotions about this decision for the last 6 months, and this acts as a video diary for me so if it's a little sappy and motivational that's why haha. i hope it inspires anyone who’s thinking about stepping outside their comfort zone or thinking about moving abroad while you are still young like me ;).
for those of you who have been following my small business journey, I’ve decided to close my small business for now to fully embrace this new chapter of my life. it’s definitely bittersweet, but I’m excited to focus on myself and try to film and make more content again.

Yes, do it all while you are young because as you get older life gets harder.

I'm so excited for you!! Life truly is so much more than work and I'm so glad you've discovered this at such a young age. I think a lot of us are waking up and realizing that the 9-5 stable job doesn't guarantee us a fulfilling life as we may have been led to believe. I can't wait to see your Japan vlogs! Have fun and stay safe!

Just discovered your channel, sad to see your crochet business journey is on pause (I hope only paused because you showed so much passion and love for it) but I’m excited to see you continue growing and exploring life - your healthy outlook is so amazing to me. As an older person seeing young adults like you gives me hope for the future!
