    I'm saying, it's really empowering. I would not be the guy I am now if I didn't do the crazy "fuck it lets find out" type of traveling in my late teens and early 20s. S*** was foundational in turning me into who I am today.

    That’s how you really stumble upon those life changing things too that seem to just “happen” I’m sure…with meeting new friends, beginning new ventures, a partner potentially…it’s addicting honestly & feels what life is all about

    I remember my very first big solo trip. I went to NZ at 18 to a do a bicycle tour. 10 weeks. I was in Christchurch at the hostel and it was my first night and I just started crying. I had a real crisis of confidence, wondered what the f*** I was doing.

    10 weeks, 1000 miles, and 700ug later I knew exactly what the f*** I was doing. No more games, playing around, etc. Felt like i landed on that island a boy and left a man

    It makes sitting at home trying to figure life out when you’re so unsure of yourself seem so trivial I’m sure

    Was mentally exhausted by the end of this trip but a few days later it feels weird being home & I’m looking forward to the next trip lol. Probably inner me wanting to see what this potential hitting for

    Probably did bro, I spent so much time overthinking it lol. It’s common I’m sure for many people especially when it comes to a overseas decision, but glad I did it cause like I said previously, it really does aid in growth.

    I spent almost a week in Asakusa which was nice cause it’s Tokyo but pretty out the way. Then Osaka for 4 days, then back to Tokyo at this spot called Sotetsu Fresa Inn. All my hostels were fine, but man was it nice to have my own space and peace and quiet by the end lol those crowds & business are no freaking joke

    Yea it was this thread, just looked

    ktt2.com/if-you-could-live-anywhere-where-would-it-be-32548200

    F***in awesome that you did it man.

    And yea Tokyo is crowded as f*** but i kinda like it.

    You might like Europe cuz it seemed more spaced out when I was in Germany

    Yeah, for ex while every one was nice ASF it’s understandably hard to embed yourself within the people properly unless you speak the language. Saw what some people mean too on the Japanese generally being shy about their English

    Was debating Kauai or the Big Island. Initially was going to do Honolulu cause the homie said Waikiki was fun, but then I read how packed & touristy it was. F that lol

    Did you recommend any activities in particular by the way for Kauai?

    Kauai is the move. I’ll get back to you with activities when I get near a computer.

    It’s f***ing beautiful and all outdoors

    100% feel you man, I spent two weeks there as well and have been back home 2 weeks now. I miss grabbing an amazing $7 bowl of ramen and getting some s*** from 7/11 on the way back to the hotel. Such a cool place where adventure seems like it's around every corner

    Heck no. At multiple points, I forgot they even existed. Telling you bro, you’ll feel ridiculously safe there.

    Craziest thing I saw was prostitutes right out in the open
