I had such a fun time shooting for the launch of my new jumper and thankfully itโs selling super well! Lots of time and effort went into designing this sweater so Iโm over the moon right now! Hehe! We shot this photo in Shinjuku, Central Tokyo. My neighbourhood ๐๐๐โจโจโจ
Iโm just a Tokyo girl in a Tokyo world hehe ๐ฏ๐ต Happy one year anniversary Japan, thank you for taking care of me, you make me feel sassy and weird, I canโt fault ya! Now letโs party in shibuya to celebrate ๐พ๐ค๐ค๐ฃ๐ฅ
I know I know Iโve got a double chin here... but when you spend half your life in Harajuku munching on candy floss what else do you expect?? โจโจโจ
This is the first and ONLY time youโll ever see my in a dress! Yeah I know, itโs a Kimono, but itโs as girlie as I can possible get mkay. You just canโt live in Kyoto, the geisha capital of Japan and not rent a kimono for a day!! You can buy an ยฃ80 package deal where you get to take part in a traditional Japanese tea ceremony where you sip on matcha and nibble on mochi then youโre free to take a few hours walk through the tori gates dressed to impress ๐ก๐ซ God I love you Japan! ๐ฏ๐ต๐
The last year Iโve been living in my ultimate dream, my own Tokyo bubble! Like, Iโve only been here a YEAR but itโs safe to say.... this is SO ME, my home, my style, my thang, my gang gang ๐พ๐โจ๐ฏ๐ต
Shooting inside one of the most unique arcades in the world with the oldest and rarest games still in use!! If this doesnโt scream JAPAN I donโt know what does ๐พ๐พ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฏ๐ต๐๐
Let me show you around a typical Japanese CAPSULE HOSTEL in the WORST area of Tokyo. Capsule hostels will always be such a unique experience and Japan is one of the only countries in the world you can find them! I managed to bag this room for $12 a night which is a STEAL considering its central Tokyo. This is actually a great way to prove that backpacking around the world is CHEAPER than renting/buying a house in Europe. Honestly man... check out what you can get for $12 a night, you'll be shocked!!
Tokyo and I go together like Cigarettes and Chai ๐โโฌ๐
Make sure you visit Team Labs Borderless when you come to Tokyo, the greatest art show in the world ๐
I used to visit this hidden waterfall near my old home in Taiwan. I would post the original photo but my pink version is way cooler so have this instead ๐ป๐๐น๐ผ
This year was my first Christmas away from my family, my first Tokyo Christmas! I had such a horrible feeling I was gunna struggle but with a little help from my friends who were also spending their first Christmas away from home we managed to pull through and have an amazing day together! We ''adulted'' and smashed out three different dishes including pasta for the Italian, egg lemon soup for the Greek, & IKEA vegetarian meatballs for the Swedish. We did secret santa, played cards like old people and went night clubbing until stupid O'clock. Not the usual Christmas but a totally new experience that I'll remember forever. This vlog is dedicated to my friends <3 HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! <3
I found a Craigslist add asking for foreigners to come to this random destination and listen to someone 'speak' for an hour and in return we'll be paid $30...That doesn't sound legit does it? I think were gunna be stolen and killed not gunna lie. Welcome to a random day in my life!
Spending my first night in one of Tokyoโs infamous love hotels! In Japan, there are hotels dedicated for couples to rent out for 2-6 hours just to have sex, starting at ยฃ20 for 2 hours. Most people live with family or friends leaving no space for couples to enjoy themselves so these hotels have dotted up all over the country featuring jacuzzis, a vibrating bed, unlimited condoms, a sex toy vending machine and a vibrating bed. Welcome to Tokyo! ๐
Iโm so excited to be back in my stomping ground over Christmas! TOKYO babbieeess ๐๐ Even though Iโm gutted about being away from my family and friends this year, Iโm super excited to share this magical time with all my friends in my favourite city on earth๐ My darling parents have sent out a few boxes stuffed with kinder buenos (they donโt sell them in japan and Iโm having severe kinder withdrawals) so I couldnโt ask for more really. Feeling super blessed right now ๐ ONLY SIX SLEEPS TILL CHRISTMAS AHHH
Hanoi, Vietnam! This was once my home where I spent 10 months teaching English to bag more money for Sri Lanka (which is madness because my English is APPAULING). But this specific and extremely famous street called 'Hanoi Train Street' is where I spent most of my hungover sundays trying to forget what a plank I made of myself over the weekend. I'd just sit with fellow travellers, sweating by balls off, trying not puke whilst sipping on authentic Vietnamese egg coffee. Oh and on the subject, egg coffee sounds gross, but it's actually incredible, please try it if you ever find yourself in the NAM. Every few hours a train passes by and you have 2 minutes to quickly grab your drinks, move the chairs and tables and push yourself up against the wall to stop yourself from being wiped out by the train, not everyone manages it, 124 people have been wiped out so far. I can't believe something this dangerous still exists as a tourist attraction in 2020 but I'm not complaining, just hungover and a tad suicidal
Have you been to TEAM LABS BORDERLESS IN TOKYO!? This has to be the worlds most interactive art show. They have a few in China which I've also heard are great, but nah, stick with Tokyo, Tokyo's cool. I had the best day there, I've been back three times since, so much to do!! I designed my own snake on a blank sheet of paper, coloured it in and scanned it on a regular photo copier-type-thing. 10 minutes later my artwork came to life and was projected on the wall, like, actually alive and moving. If you touch the animal it freaks out like real animals would and if you leave them be they'll go hunt other peoples art work to survive. Have I explained that well? Probably not. To be honest, I've never seen this in my life, I didn't know it existed either. I've dropped the link below anyways, PUT IT ON YOUR BUCKET LIST <3

For the first time ever I look kinda cute in a dress? Weird. But I had no choice but to get involved!! Bali has one of the richest cultures I have ever seen, based on it's mix of Balinese Hindu-Buddhist religion, dance, drama and sculpture. I spent a few months here sticking fresh flowers in my hair and eating gado-gado (an Indonesian salad with peanut sauce) which is, by the way, the dogs bollocks. 10/10 would definitely recommended!! Message me for tips on Bali!
Ok, my obsession with Die Antwoord has gone too far! I found their tracksuit on Depop, didn't even look at the price and smashed my card details in ๐ They regularly travel to Japan, they love it here. So of course I had to get a photo on me repping their tracksuit on a rooftop, in Tokyo, with the classic socks and sliders. Absolutely fan girling mate ๐ค
This is just a 10/10 travel couple goals picture isn't it? I fucking dig it! Me and my ex travelled for months throughout South America, but Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, the worlds largest salt flats was by far the most insane place I've ever been in my life. You legit have to suck on coca leaves (cocaine leaves) to stop you throwing up as you're 3,663 meters above sea level. So yeah, this photo seems like ''goals'' but I puked up straight after, don't believe everything you see on social media ๐
In November 2019 before all this corona malarkey started, I backpacked around Sri Lanka for a couple of months and considering it wasn't high up my list of places to visit, it was absolutely INSANE, completely blew me away. It was like a safer version of India (India has better food though), with less people, less traffic and a climate that wasn't murderous. This photo was taken whilst riding my motorbike during a thunderstorm, way up in the cold mountain range, hence the nipple problem I have going on here ๐คฃ......
If you haven't tried Japanese strawberry milk and blueberry cigarettes you haven't lived! ๐ฅฐI couldn't stand either of them before I moved here, just goes to show Japan ups their game on every product they sell! Literally obsessed! (I'm even thinking of getting a strawberry milk tattoo that's how bad it's getting)๐ So yeah, if you want to buy me a Christmas gift look no further! Teehee ๐ฅฐ
