I talk about how it feels to reintegrate yourself into a childhood passion, the feelings and satisfaction it brings. Returning to your first passion and connecting to your inner child is a beautiful and underrated process.

I took a weekend trip to Osaka and talk about my experiences and how I was inspired by other black creatives. I also talk about the struggles of being a senior in college and trying to always avoid the mindset of, “What’s next???”

I recorded this about a month after the last episode, yet to my surprise, I still had alot of similar things on my mind that I was thinking of a month ago. I review some life lessons and start to realize some big differences in my life in Japan versus my life in America

I recently had spring break, the equivalent to America's summer break as it's about three-ish months. Here's a few revelations I had while in Okinawa

After Japan's snowy city in Sapporo, Hokkaido, we take sometime to wind down in the snowy countryside of Biei, Hokkaido and experience a ryokan near the mountains.

After taking the first two months of the year to myself, I wanted to finally upload this episode I recorded last month before starting anything new. With 2023 having just started there's already been so much change in life and the way I've began to approach things. In this episode I talk about how New Years in Tokyo went, my evolving morning routine, and more.

On this episode, me and my friend Estelle (her instagram is @stellasincerity) talk about the struggles many creatives tend to face when it comes to producing art, finding confidence in your vision when people tell creatives that life as an artist isn't sustainable, and digging to the roots of the common anxieties artists face on a normal basis. We basically dig pretty deep into what it means to cr...

I took the time to step away and take a break from producing content in this last month of December. This episode includes an update on things I've been doing and how my December has been going (The audio in this episode may be a bit muffled as I was on a walk and had forgot that I still had my hea...

It's Christmas day in Tokyo, which also happens to be my first time spending Christmas away from family. Today I not only talk about Christmas but about what it feels like to celebrate a holiday as you're older and traditions change from when you may have been a kid. I share how I plan to spend my holiday and what I've learned I personally value when spending a holiday away from home.

I decided to climb a mountain and fully immerse myself in some nature during fall break.

Next for fall break I decide to have a self care day and enjoy the wonder of Enoshima Island Spa for a day before returning to Tokyo. The spa includes a heated infinity pool facing the ocean and a very famous mountain, a much bigger onsen that I experienced at the ryokan (a traditional Japanese Inn/hotel) in Hakone, a sauna, and a resting room.

The first destination of fall break is Hakone, Japan. I go over how I decided where to go for fall break in general, how the trip went with the friends I brought along, what it was like using the onsen (hot springs) for the first time, and more juicy content
