HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳🥂

Happy New Year everyone from a very chilly North Japan! 💕 I really hope 2022 brings lots of great things for all of you☺️

Had a wild ride in 2021, but overall lots to be happy about! 

→ Didn't have cancer - woohoo

→ Sendai turned out to be really awesome, so glad I moved here

→ Maro is recovered from his bladder issues and doing great! 

→ Raised over $2000 to donate to cat rescues through my stationery company

→ Despite being a bit all over the place with moving and surgery, the channel did relatively well :) 

Thank you so much for sticking through a bumpy year with me, I truly hope to make some good content in 2022 (and crossing all my fingers that Japan will finally open up for visitors this year so my videos will have a purpose again🤞) 

I'm currently working with an artist to create a cute Japan map for my website, and then I can get down to organising my videos by location - so next time you want to plan a trip you can browse through all my videos from the different prefectures and get some ideas for planning your itinerary!

Once the website is up and running, we can get back to creating the merch as well. Looking forward to putting those cute designs to use💕

I'm going to be opening up my four clothing lucky bags this week! 🛍 Hope there's something nice in there, I've held off buying any new clothes this winter in hopes that there'll be some good things inside 🤞🤞🤞

And finally I wanted to ask you all what kind of videos you'd most like to see this year! Which types are your favourites to watch? I've felt kind of lost with tourists unable to enter the country, as the purpose of my channel has kind of been to show you what fun stuff you can do when you visit... Do you still enjoy watching travel videos even though you can't travel here at the moment? 😢 Let me know which videos have been your favourites to watch over the past year and I'll try to make some similar content again💕

Here's to a great 2022 for all of you!! Cheers! 🥂💕
