Hi All, My name is John, If you’re reading this then I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into. This is just my blog to document my traveling adventures while I explore the world and experience new cultures. I guess the purpose of this blog is more of a documentation of my traveling trips where I can look back and relive a lot of the memories that I’ve had from these traveling trips. If you enjoy reading things like this then come join me as I embark on my journey.
My first journey this year will be starting a week from today I’ll be in Japan doing my first solo traveling adventure. It’s crazy to think that 4 months ago I had this sudden urge to go to Japan but didn’t have anyone that would commit to going to Japan with me. I’d never been bold enough to travel by myself but reading about other people’s experience with their solo travels convinced me that it was something I could do myself and have a great experience. It also helped that one of my closest friends convinced me to just do it without thinking. Now thinking about it this is a great opportunity to go outside my comfort zone and do something I love for a change instead of relying on others to travel to the destinations i want to go. So far I’m quite enjoying the planning process of this solo travel I get to plan things I want to do instead of trying to convince others to do activities with me which would be a common issue if I travelled with my friends :(. However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing now that I’m the one that has to plan everything it has been quite stressful didn’t realise there were so many things to do and many places to see. With the limited amount of time, I have to choose which one want to go to the most but that’s the joy of travelling if I don’t visit it on this trip gives me another reason to come again.
You’re probably wondering why Japan is your first solo travelling destination. Having been to Japan before with a few of my friends back in 2017 and it was one of the best experiences in my life I felt like Japanese culture resonated so well with my personality and of course could never forget how amazing the food tasted. Ever since that trip it’s been part of my list of places that I have to travel to again and what better place than to do a solo trip to a place I’m familiar with. So the thing i want to focus on during this trip is eating all the delicious must-try foods that Japan has to offer that honestly one of the things I’m most excited about. I have been spending 3 months tagging cool places on Instagram to prepare for this trip hopefully I get the opportunity to tick most of them off. As well as exploring the places that I missed last time, I’m particularly keen to go to Hokkaido as I was unable to go there the last time I heard the seafood over there is amazing so will be keen to try that.
So come join me as I embark on my first solo travel journey. I’ll try to post daily but I won’t guarantee it seems super time-consuming if not then I’ll try to update weekly.
