Not a Japan video (for once) 🌴


Hey Reader,

New video is up, and it's a little different than usual.

For most of you, this channel = Japan. But today I'm sharing what life actually looks like back home in California when I'm not traveling: a road trip, a nail appointment, a block party in LA, and a few thoughts on what's coming next for this channel.

If you've been waiting on the Japan travel guides from my spring trip, don't worry — they're still coming (end of July/August).

In the meantime, this is the start of a new chapter: more lifestyle content, more LA and beyond, not just Japan travel.

Next month brings a full Oregon vlog and itinerary, so consider this the start of that journey too.

Thanks for coming along, however you found this channel.

With love,

Remi 🌴

Hi Reader, This update is long overdue, since Japan has been my main focus for the past few years, and then I seemingly came back from a longer-than-expected summer hiatus, just to come back full force, posting California travel content. 😅 So, what's up with that? Long story short: I realized I wanted to broaden my travels to Japan, California, and beyond. Why? Because while I still think there's so much for me to learn about my Japanese heritage through travel, I also want to appreciate what...

Hey Reader, A new vlog is available on my channel! Have you ever been to Encinitas, CA? It's a cozy, laid-back coastal area located about 1.5- 2 hours from LA in North San Diego county. I drove down there for the day to meet up with my friend. It was my first time visiting, and I absolutely loved it. If you're looking for a place with pure laid-back Southern California beach town vibes, then this is the place for you. 🌊 In this video, you’ll get to see how our day went and what it’s like to...
