Why I Moved to Tokyo, Japan | I Changed My Life

I explain the reasons that caused me to move to Tokyo in August 2018. Living and working in Japan has been an adventure. This is my story of why I decided to completely change my life and move abroad. The process of moving to Japan was challenging but I’m so glad I did it! If you take anything away from this video, I hope that it is that you should’t give up easily, spend your time wisely and take every opportunity you can get!
This is my storytime about how my illness has driven me to change my life and go after what I really wanted. Changing your life is hard but just know you’re not alone!
Japan is the most exciting and culturally different place I have ever been to. It has so much to offer! I hope you can follow my journey and we can explore this incredible place together!

    Thank you for making this informative and personal video. I always thought ur accent was rly unique, would have never guessed that u come from such a interesting multicultural background.Ive noticed that well travelled people like you tend to be super cool and charismatic. I have huge respect for u for staying positive and strong. Living with a chronic condition myself ur experience rly resonates with me especially the "time being stolen from u"part.My energy level is so low i can barely get the simple things done.The mental duress is even worse, I'm so tired of battling with depression on a daily basis. This video makes me feel a little better tho, maybe there's light at the end of the tunnel.I hope someday i can function like a normal person and get my life back. I can also relate to ur experience of moving countries. I was born in Russia and moved to another country when i was 6, then i moved again when i was a teenager.Had a really hard time adapting and mastering new languages,but i do enjoy moving around and getting the taste of different cultures. Just out of curiosity, are you still fluent in Russian? i am very slow at picking up languages and since I'm very out of practice my spoken russian is rusty af even tho it was my first language, it's quite a shame.Also are you planning to learn/currently learning Japanese, if so how's the language learning experience for u?

    True you are far less interested in the positives so the negatives stand out for u when a place is your home country for sure. Spend enough time anywhere and the novelty wears off. The average "imma go to japan" person stays 1-2 years then leaves because they dont become so fluent in the language then complain they always feel like a foreigner. And yes you will be treated as a foreigner regardless but more so if you barely speak Japanese. I admit I skipped through this video but i legit went from "my reasons for moving to japan probably arent like most people" to "I really liked anime" etc LOL! I was like "so, exactly like 80% of people that move there, i like anime. Im sure thats not true as i skipped most of this video but it amuses me i happened to skip between those parts. Good luck to her!

    Thank you so much! I speak/write three fluently (Russian/Ukrainian/English) and I’m at conversational level for French and Spanish (I studied Latin for three years and this makes European languages a bit easier to pick up). It took me about two years to learn English to advanced level and then maybe another year to be fluent. Ukrainian is very similar to Russian so that was very quick. Maybe about a year to get it fully fluent. I think when you’re younger your brain is more open to learning languages. I am only in the process of learning Japanese. Speaking is much easier than reading or writing but I think that might be my personal downfall as I found this to be a struggle every time I learned a language.

    I'm moving to Japan to study Japanese. It's the easiest and fastest way to move there and also a very good reason to do it. Only wish i had figured out that my government supports these kind of studies to Japan sooner. Without the student loan it would have been impossible for people who aren't rich already. Getting a job in Japan while abroad is very very difficult unless it's an English teaching job, and those are pretty much the only reasons why you can move there.

I can understand your sorrow for having lost some time of your life in such a though situation, but was it really a full waste of time? You developed one of the most fundamental traits for a human being: resilience! It will help you to go through the future difficulties (hopefully much less heavy) in your life. You are well-equipped to enjoy the good things and deal with bad ones! Just a question: do you plan to stay in Japan or do you want to resume the project of learning many cultures by leaving in different parts of the world?

WOW, that's mind-blowing. BTW, Samarkand was ruled by Hindus, Persians, Greeks, Mongols, Buddhists, Muslims, Russians, and every Tom, Dick, and Hassan who could ride a bloody camel.

    You're always so SINCERE! A VERY LIKEABLE PERSON!!! I loved watching this video! You may not know ,but I believe you gave many people some lights&hopes ! You're a very smart young lady! I'm so shocked to hear about your back surgery story...that is so bizarre that you had an extra bone growing & causing that tremendous pain! I've always been having some back issue as well( my sister's case is worse) & a physical therapy was the BEST thing ever for that solution! I've been stretching almost everyday ever since I learned. The accents of yours was another interesting story as I'm Japanese but don't really have a Japanese accent, I was taught English since I was 6 years old,then had so many different English teachers with different Nationalities! So, mine is pretty mixed up!Some Brits think I had my accents from all over the u.k. & somewhere else? Lol. Some Americans said that I had a Scottish accent! Lol. I had American teachers,Australian, Canadian& Newzeelander ,English,some Welsh...lol.lol.lol. Anyways ,that makes us SO UNIQUE! I KINDA LOVE IT! LOL.Anyways,I always enjoy your videos! Good luck to you on EVERYTHING! Hope that your life in Japan will make your dreams come true & your subscribers will reach 4,000 ,soon 5,000!!! Sorry ,I cannot afford to do so as I'm pretty broke! But I root for you! I am believing in you!

    Thank you so much!! And I am sorry to hear about your sisters and yours back problem! Back problems are the worst but I am so glad that physiotherapy helps! I hope you both continue to improve greatly!! I remember having to do a lot of physiotherapy after surgery and it helped the recovery so much! I think it’s important for everyone to remember to take care of our bodies. I can definitely understand what you mean about your accent. Having so many teachers would make you pick up various influences from all over the UK and even America. It’s definitely unique and I love it as well! Thank you so much for your comment!! Hope you have an amazing day ❤️🌸🌸🌸

    Hi Marianna I hope Japan make you happy for a long time . One thing that I learn here is that after Japan life will never be the same again. Asia culture in general is so dynamic and the future is coming much faster here. My contact with foreigners 90 percent want to come back and visit Japan again . Maybe as a tour guide, with help of your Japanese friends ,would be an option for you in the future. Keep going.

    This was very intresting and inspirational video! It's been me and my husband's dream to move to Japan as well. Do you have any suggestions to how to start the process? I'm really curious about the visa application process as everywhere I read it always says that you need to have a job first. Did you get the visa through work or did you find work after you came to Japan? Thank you so much for your time!

  • @MariannaVlogs

    Thank you! ❤️ This depends where you are from. I will be filming a visa process video this week! There are several ways to go about it but for a working/humanities visa normally you would need a job to sponsor you. I came on a working holiday visa (UK) and found work once I arrived. If you come on a temporary residency visa like the WH one then you can find a job that will sponsor a full working visa once you’re here as a lot of them require you to be in the country when you apply. But I will cover as many visa options as I can in the video as I’ve gone through the humanities visa process as well ❤️

    Marianna, I do relate to you! I am Russian-Ukrainian and German, born in Kazakhstan and raised in Russian traditions/western traditions..and then my family moved to Germany when I was nine y/o. So I got into Sailor Moon as well xD and that´s how I got to know Japan..and digged deeper into Japanese culture. I do not want to live in Japan, but I like it as a holiday destination.

    That is amazing! It’s really interesting to experience so many cultures growing up!! We have family in Kazakhstan but unfortunately I never visited. Maybe one day! I think Sailor Moon opened doors for so many people. I can definitely relate to you, especially being raised by various traditions, it can be confusing but enriching at the same time. Japan would be an amazing holiday destination. There is so much to see! I hope you enjoy it a lot if you visit!

    Interesting video, I myself love Japan, even just by watching NHK news, and you could see everything there from total innovation,creativity and like you said adventurous , for me I know Japan in a historic level , having different cultures like shegundo which is a combination of Buddhist and mountain worship, Zen/Mahayana Buddhism and of course Shintoism. And all the way north of Hokkaido you'll find Ainu indigenous people with shamanism beliefs and the cuisines in Japan are amazing and artistic at the same time truly love it 👍🗻🌹❤
