    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 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 ☺️

    • @storiesofmilo
      @storiesofmilo  4 місяці тому +1

      To be honest, it will probably be busy 🥺 Japan tourism is SOOOO well-developed, even locally: you will often see a lot of Japanese tourists themselves visiting other prefectures! I recommend to do like I did: just accept it 😂 and build strategies to optimize the experience! For example, getting up super early to see very touristic places (the shrines open with the sunrise so it's very feasible!) - you will have a blast no matter what!! ☺️

      @@storiesofmilo yes I can see why it’s such a cool thing to do no matter if you are a tourist or local everyone seems to enjoy it. Also such a cool thing to do since you can visit all the prefectures with the excuse of catching all the stamps. And yeah I already bought one from Amazon’s none-line or doted and the pages seems pretty thick so I hope it doesn’t cross over.

    Japanese people think of ramen as noodles, while foreigners think of it as soup. Therefore, Japanese people eat noodles first, while foreigners drink soup first. ···I think.

    Hello! I will visit Tokyo soon, and I want to collect stamps! Do you have any tips on how to spot the stamp areas in the train stations more easily? I know the train stations can be a maze. 😵‍💫

    • @storiesofmilo
      @storiesofmilo  3 місяці тому

      hey there ☺️ so, they are usually not hard to find! they are usually right by the turnstiles and/or where you buy a ticket! there's a sign + people stamping. On the rare occasions I couldn't find it, I would go to the info desk (where there's someone) and say "sumimasen...eki stampu kudasai?" (excuse me... the train stamp please?) = that's grammatically incorrect haha but they all got the message!
      And one time I couldn't find, the guy got the ink + stamps from HIS desk... so, yes, sometimes (rare) there's not even a stamp "station", you have to ask the staff for it!
      Still, they made it super easy!! ☺️ Highly recommend, it's so fun! Small tip: get a notebook with THICK pages - mine was too thin, i had to skip pages 🥺
