    I am 60 years old and have lived in Los Angeles all of my life. I am neither rich or poor and I do feel grateful, but I am exhausted. Completely exhausted by it. Your channel gives me hope. I am rooting for you, and for me by extension. Thank you for that.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment and share a bit about where you are in life. I understand how exhausting that city can be. I am happy to read that my videos are giving you hope, and please know that I am rooting for you, too. 💙 Sending you so much love and light right now.

    I live in CDMX! I first came across your channel when I was researching my move here and had reached out to you and everyone else that I followed to say I was coming and try to connect! 😅 Listen, anyone who would listen was getting reached out to at that point! Cut to now I’ve been living and THRIVING here for what will be a year in July! I am so very happy for you finding your next home and I am enjoying following your journey! I just turned 48 and am sharing this here in case anyone watches your video and sees this comment and feels they are too “old” to change their life and move to another country! You are not! Now back to you Misako, again, wishing you the absolute best and marveling at all of the wisdom you have and share! ❤

    1. Love the rainy vibes 😍🙌🏿
    2. I totally feel you on experiencing a better quailty of life and having no desire to live in the US again. We get sold this narrative that it's SOOO great here and there's nowhere better. But the reality is until we go out and see for ourselves we'll never know.
    Thank you for continuing to commit to your craft. These videos are so beautiful 💜✨

    2 more days, 2 more days, from NYC.
    As visitors, tourists, 外国人, it’s respectful to be mindful of the fact that the Japanese are going through very tough times. Not just economically, but as a society. The hikikomori situation has reached epidemic levels, suicide rates are among the highest in the world.
    So, while we see and feel peaceful and reflective when there,far too many Japanese may feel they’re living lives of “quiet desperation.”
    I personally know quite a few Japanese who do wish to open up about their feelings, but feel the Bushido code, which can be extremely beautiful to Westerners, doesn’t allow them to do so.
    With that said, I believe every human being on Earth owes it to them selves to travel to Japan
    at least once.

    The kombini umbrella ❤ I’m starting to look forward to your morning walks. Short and sweet nuggets of wisdom. I live in a tough reality of war but I find the small joy of walking my dog in the small park next to my house and see all of my cat friends. And to see that my dreams of a new chapter isn’t that crazy.

    If you don't mind explaining, why would your educational background hinder you from getting a long term visa? I'm asking because as an American who also attended college, I too have a desire to make my dreams of living in another country outside of the US a reality.
    Thanks for sharing your journey with us each day.

    I’m from Southern California, but I’ve spent the past year in Edinburgh for grad school. There have been moments when I miss home so much & want the sun, my people, and my old routine back. But now, I’ve learned to make Edinburgh a home & enjoy this beautiful city and the sweet community I’ve made here. Now that I’m planning on going back to California once my program ends, I can’t help but feel sad and heartbroken already leaving this city.

    In my next adventure, I desire more peace, slower pace, better quality of food/ living. I too enjoy living a softer life. I'm in the states presently in Philadelphia. I was gone for 30yrs. Had the opportunity of living in thialand/spain during covid. I moved back to philly to get out of debt. I accomplished that. However having to navigate living through a shelter experience took a great toll on my being.Starting over was very challenging at 57. reintroduced myself as transman to my family which didn't turn out the way I thought it would, yet I'm grateful to have had opportunity to share my authentic self. Now, I'm planning for residence in Portugal. Thank you, your videos😂 keep me inspired along the journey

So I find your vids very interesting and helpful! I hope to live in Japan in the future and would like to explore other cultures, but problem is of course money, committing, leaving friends and family. Any tips or thoughts from anyone helps! And I also just wanted to share this for my one sake.

    Let me share a mechanic story in the US with you. I was with my young daughter, I dropped my car off for a simple service and they said it would be done in 45 min to an hour. I then walked around big parking lots and a target and a dollar store and returned after an hour to get my car. They told me they hadn’t even started working on it. I wasted an hour of my day and my daughter’s for nothing. So I totally hear what you say. It would be great if we didn’t have to deal with such “surprises”

    I am an empty nester who had prayed for years to life a "soft life". I am living a softer life, and I am so thankful. I have had time to reflect and I am finding that I am growing and becoming the women that I envisioned being. I will be moving to a new state in a few months. I am nervous about the typical things: finding things to occupy my time, finding new friends at an older age, etc. But most of all, I am looking forward to living a more simplified life. Also, placing your mic on your umbrella was a genius move!

    Both the rain and your speaking cadence make this so soothing to watch, and what you share resonates deeply. I'm living abroad (an Australian in France) and things never going the way you expect/the way they are described can be so taxing. It's wonderful you've found a place where you're accessing more calm and ease - can't wait to hear more about your experience 🌧🤍

  • @NgaireandLucyTravel
    @NgaireandLucyTravel Місяць тому +2

    Coming from Australia 🇦🇺, we were brought up believing we were one of the "lucky" countries. Life was peaceful, free of war, free of poverty on the whole as long as you worked hard, and the opportunity to earn a great wage as long as you worked a full time job and/or did well in education. Now however, houses are mostly over million AUD for a basic home, you need a double income to pay off a home or if you are single you need two jobs and work 16 hr days. It's sad to pass that way of thinking onto my now teen. We've dreamt of moving since visiting Japan 5 yrs ago, fell in love with the safe streets which were free of outward crime and a society which cared for others. Yes , there's some downsides to the society- infantilising/sexualising women, long work hours with traditional office jobs. But anywhere that is a Western country now is too expensive to live and littered with massive drug use on every corner. We dream of a slower quieter life where I can work as a qualified nurse, and provide my teen with the ability to choose a safer and more mentally peaceful existance. Thank you for sharing your days with us. It gives us hope that it does exist elsewhere. ❤

    I know what you mean. I went to Japan last year. It was the first time I went to Japan, also the first time I went abroad. I miss it. I felt so many things all at once there. Overall, once I left it made me really change my perspective on nature, life, relationships, connections, goals and dreams. So, I started to really put my goals and dreams into motion. Thanks for sharing and I'm glad to hear your likewise mindset.
