Watching Via slowly get more confident in Japanese is so inspiring! It really makes me want to learn a language. I’ve been wanting to try learning Korean or Japanese, but I’ve been nervous. Via is def pushing me to try though 😅

@@via.ilyouu I’ll definitely try it out! The only thing I really have access to rn is duolingo, and I don’t really know how efficient the app actually is. I can give it a shot anyway though! 🙃 If you had any suggestions for language learning apps other than duolingo, I would appreciate the help 😅😭

As a Japanese who can understand Korean, I’d recommend Korean over Japanese if you really want to master the language. Unless ofc if you want to travel here you’d want to know a bit of Japanese. It’ll take you years to fully learn Japanese writings, specifically Kanji. So you’ll continue to struggle with reading. Whereas you can learn Korean (Hangul) in like an hour if you try hard. And if you learn Japanese after Korean it’ll be easier bc some Korean words are same as/similar to Japanese words. Good luck!

I find Korean to be way easier than Japanese, but everyone’s different! 너는 할 수 있어요!

Its so heartwarming like how the last video was Via having major breakdown episode because of language barrier, and here shes giggling bc she CAN DO THINGS. Omg love you sm.

0:46 is an emotion i feel everyday

Japanese here! I know it doesn’t help when you’re anxious but I literally wanna reassure you so bad that in Japan you’re never a nuisance to people. People who work in shops/restaurants take their job really seriously and they like to help you🥺 So just ask! Even in English is fine! Also your Japanese is really decent! You’re so pretty and intelligent, have confidence in yourself! Next time you come I would absolutely love to show you around🥹💖

i swear, she is amazing. she makes me feel better everyday :)

Girl, the giggle I let out when is aw that you posted😭 love you and your vidoes fr. They are very motivational. Like I genuinely had a fear of doing things on my own (because I am a scardy cat), everything I do, I take one of my sisters with me. But your videos have been motivating me to try and do things on my own, and to so things for myself. Like idk how to put it exactly but your videos really helped me a lot. Like yeah I share the same like what was the word again? Like way of thinking, but I have trouble acting on it. But your video have been tremendous help. So thank you for posting, making my day and teaching me important life lessons. I hope you have a great rest of your day:) with love from a random teenager

As someone with anxiety, seeing you overcome challenges in Japan is so inspiring to me because I've always wanted to go there and it makes me happy to see other people overcoming things I also find hard, because it gives me hope that I CAN do it 💗

You are so awesome and brave for traveling alone 💕

Okayy watching Via's video after a breakdown ?? girl it is a free therapy i love youu

Via has come soo far in the things she was anxious and feared about. I'm sooo glad to see her enjoy the world on her own and as she said she may feel anxious or down or doubt herself but at the end of the day she can do it. ❤❤

i just binged all of your videos. You have become an extremely comforting presence with your relatability. It's truly inspiring and fun to watch Keep up the great work 💕

Girl!! Hello!!! Im so happy and proud of you!! Keep going and never feel embarrassed (i saw the last video and i wrote a comment 🙂) like.. Feel yourself, have a good time not giving an F. I hope u will see my comment and i hope i helped you. LOVE YOU 🤍

yessss!!! I was waiting all week for a video and im soo happy you dont even understand that i literally dropped everything to just watch this, you are the only vlogger i can watch without feeling bored or unrealistic you motivated me to finally get out of the house and what you say alot is to ✨ just do it✨ and i had alot of fun i also started journaling more because of you. And you really saved my life a few months ago so, thank you😊 well im gonna watch the video now!!

That pig part was absolutely relatable😂 also Via I love watching your videos and honestly I swear you are my comfort KZreadr🫶🏻 I have never felt connected to any creator this much😭🫶🏻 I love youuuuuuu

I think it's so real being able to admit the moments you're scared. Ive been learning Korean for a long while but on and off, and I eventually want to plan a trip. I'm excited at the idea of traveling but because of my anxiety I'm already scared in advance that I might not be able to speak the little bit of Korean I do know when the time finally comes. There's nothing wrong with being scared, its good when you can admit it, and even better when you can feel proud of yourself for finally mustering up the courage!

your vlogs are so therapeutic and you're such a kind person!! love you so muchh❤

so excited for this! your videos bring me so much comfort and peace

Obsessed with the solo travel series they’re so relaxing 💕💕also I’m soooo proud of you for doing it despite the fear and anxiety you killed it 🔥🔥

I am so glad for this video!❤ your videos are calming and relatable ❤!

I love Japan and I love your vlogs!! everything is so aesthetic and calm, you make me want to live my days to the fullest💌

the time just flew by, it was a really good vlog as usual !

I started to plan my japan+korea trip for this summer and watching Via wandering around Japan is sooo fun. Plus I'm so thankful to those shop owners for telling her japanese is so good like SHE GAINED CONFIDINCE YAYYYYY

I am also a beginner learning Japanese and your videos are sooo motivating! They give me confidence to someday visit Japan and try to speak even if it's not perfect (but you are so good btw). Anyways, I'm happy your confidence is increasing and let's keep learning! がんばれ 💗💗💗

Your growth in confidence pushed me to also try to be more daring and not let my fears stop me from enjoying my life!!

I love watching your vlogs during study breaks, they‘re so calming and fun to watch 💕🥰 Always motivate me to keep going! Ily 🫶

OMG!! So excited for this week's vlog!!

I love your videos because you’re so honest and unfiltered. They are so beautiful and shot and edited perfectly! Keep going! I am learning both Japanese and Chinese…I lack the confidence to make conversation but you are amazing!! You are stronger than you know and have a huge fan base! Much love from a Massachusetts native! 😊✨🩷

ok really random idk if you are doing this rn but i definitely suggest locking all your suitcases and bags left in the hotel for extra security. because we can't forget hotel staff members have access to your room and you never know 🤷‍♀

you're so good at editing girl 😊

I genuinely love watching your videos because they're so calming and soo realll,like alot of the experiences and feelings you've experienced I can relate to,so thank you so muchh❤

Also I literally started journaling because of you and I love it soo much, thank you for that as well

The temples look so pretty during the fall, I’m going to Japan in April for 2 weeks and I cannot wait 😊. After watching your vlogs I think I might have to extend my trip another 2 weeks😭💜

The happiness I felt seeing via posting a new vid....ahh lysmm via your amazing...✨ Wishing a lot of luv to you ❤

You inspire so much ‘’Even if you get out of your comfort zone everything will be fine’’❤💞

I love you vlogs so much and just seeing you grow even more confident with your Japanese and new lifestyle in this new environment makes me so proud. Your doing great ,i know there are some days we’re anxiety may get the best of you or it might just not be a good day overall, life might not be going they way you want it to ,but just keep remembering to keep going because it will get better and you can do this .I’m so proud of you keep persevering even if it’s little steps because you’ll get to a sense of comfortable soon enough and most importantly keep having fun because that’s all that matters 🫶🏽:3

ahhh i also absolutely love kyoto!! it's so quiet and serene. perf for my introverted self that also solo travels. thanks for sharing your trip with us Via!!🥰

I have been going through your journal entries series these past few days and it resonates so much with me right now. Sometimes things have a way of finding it's way to you in just the right time. Even though I know I am not alone in these experiences having someone vocalise them is so powerful. I am feeling that my life is out of my control for years but just watching you made me things start to sink in and started a over reflection on my life, where I am, who I am and what I want my future to look like. There are so many things in this world to enjoy and why am I not allowed to experience them? was the biggest question. I missed the person I was 2 years ago, that were very aligned with themself and their emotions, someone with drive, hopes, dreams and big aspirations. And realizing how far away from that person I am now made me sad and angry at myself. But that kind of grief I think is the first step to actually change something because I have authority over my life, and how I treat myself. Think you for just vocalizing things I've been sitting on for a while. Much love

Watching you happy is a pure delight. ily viaaaa>>>>>

Ahh, I always love the vibes your videos give, and I'm happy to see you get more confident in your Japanese as the video continues! Remember, you can do it!!

ohmygosh I just finished my day after some studying and you queen decided to post at the right time!! Via i love you sm and you're literally a queen! thankyousomuch for uploading ❤🥺🫶🏻🫶🏻

oh my god, I just finished watching the last episode and here's another one

I absolutely love your videos ❤. they give me motivation to go through the day since I've been feeling depressed these days🫠

As someone who is very anxious of trains and uses and going solo, I just know how fcking proud you must have felt to finally be out of the bubble a little more. one day, I will try to get the same level of courage.

Via I love your videos so much!! Your videos are so comforting and your personality is so relatable 🥹🫶 I really enjoy watching your videos and am grateful that you keep uploading 🤍🌷

Omgg everyone wake up ella posted a video yayy!! I love her videos so so sooo much one of my comfort youtubers

the end night shots… simply stunning 🫶🏼🌃

no bc you have NO idea how proud i am of you for becoming more comfortable with the language and with familiarizing to everything youre gen so incredible omd I love you 😭💗

9:54 Your outfit looks so good!! I love wearing green clothes especially military green ones TT

I am literally waiting the whole week for your vlog❤❤, love your videos, they make me feel so much better.❤❤

You inspire me so much! Now I want to go on a solo trip too❤ I'm struggling with anxiety too but you give me hope

omg bestie I am so proud of you for travelling so far by yourself like this! Iliterally got back from my first international solo trip last week and I went all the way to China from the UK! It's so hard trying to psych myself up to go into a shop or cafe or restaurant and try to speak in Chinese (I literally know barely any Chinese), but it is so rewarding when you do! It's so nice seeing you get more comfortable speaking Japanese and doing things by yourself even though it feels super awkward to do. you got this hun!!! And anyone else who is scared to do things or travel alone, just give it a try! The worst that can happen is some momentary embarrasment, and the satisfaction of trying definitely outweighs that. 😘🥰

when via posts, you know its gonna be a good day !!

I really love your videos. Thanks for making my day better

You're honestly my favorite vlogger, because i dont get bored when im watching your videos ❤

Because of your vlogs where you can speak the language of the place you go to i went into a duolingo spree 😭😭😭 im trying to learn japanese chinese and korean at the same time lol

i was looking forward to watching your vlog!!!

i seriously can’t even begin to explain how PROUD i am of via and her ongoing improvement in self confidence! it’s so damn inspiring. :’)

I'm in love with your vlogs via🥰🥰🥰

You’re literally my fav youtuber 🥰♥️!

ive been watching ur videos recently and tbh they make my day :]

what an amazing vlog! thank u for sharing your travel

Something I've always wanted to say to you Via is thank you for showing us the world through your eyes. I've always found it so beautiful and fascinating. Something so simple as you enjoying the autumn views, watching the trains pass by, or how the water is flowing against the rocks...idk...it just makes my heart feel so full and warm. That's just one of the many reasons why I enjoy watching your videos. 💖💖💖Love you and hope you have a lovely week! (and y'all take this as your sign to just stop and smell the roses ☺)

this is so sweet ilysm 😭🩷🥹🫶

So cool! I am a lot older than probably anyone here. I live overseas now - retired - from the U.S. I am super inspired by your bravery traveling by yourself. I moved overseas, by myself - with my two cats. I've lived here now for about 3 1/2 years and am STILL working on the language. It's a very difficult language to learn! (especially when you're older and have only ever spoken English) I feel your pain in your previous video when you were afraid to speak Japanese! You CAN do it though! 🙌🏽 ❤ You are making me really want to visit Japan. It looks SO beautiful and I know I would love the food and all the temples and outdoor spaces. ❤

Ive been studying Japanese on and off for a couple years ,but im really trying this year to learn even more. Hopefully ill be able to go to Japan and experience the culture in real life but until then, watching vlogs like yours helps me to get to see what id like to do on my trip there. P.s the tip about headphones is much appreciated (i struggle w anxiety 😅) .When i get overstimulated, my mood legit drops but music has always been helpful for me so thx for the tip. And finally l wanted to say i loved this vlog and you seem like the sweetest person 🌼❤️

i love via sm ! post more Japan vlogs soon ! im going to Japan soon !

Currently I'm preparing for my final exams and your vlogs help me to relax!! Also I'm proud of you that you're stepping out of your comfort zone ( I struggle with social anxiety as well so I acknowledge how hard it is sometimes to do it). What helps me with being more confident and less wired is to ,,think less and act more"- personally instead of overthinking ( which usually makes me only more nervous) I just try more and more to do things-talking to someone, going somewhere etc- before my brain starts to work too much .And if I do it for some time, I stop feeling as wired, even I can relax and think like...wow, actually this situation, or doing certain thing is so normal. I hope I helped

This is so peaceful aaaa, makes me want to go back to Kyoto again aa

Prime example of never back down never what 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

ilysm ur vids make my whole day 💝💝💝

I literally had exams and everytime I got notification that via posted I felt so sad , now I am watching 3 last vedios and this one made me so proud of her after crying with her in the previous one 👏👏👏❤❤❤ it motivates me a lot to travel and enjoy my time . Thanks pretty via ❤️😘

the best accident that hapenned to me is when i accidentally clicked on your video last year. now you're my fav, ily.
