Ey, Emma here! I'm in Tokyo studying japanese at an international language school. I'll be staying here for a year! Check out my videos on YT too!

Thinking out loud

When I go on shorter trips w family or whatever, I’m always the calmest one. It doesn’t stress me out at all and I’m super excited. I love to travel, no matter what destination. But I never plan ahead. To me that just ruins the experience. I want to discover the place on my own. What’s the use in looking up all of the tourist attractions? You’ll find them anyway and most of them aren’t even worth visiting.

Now to the issue.. or my concern. I am in love w Tokyo.  And this is not a normal trip. I’ll get to live my dream. Again. The first time I was there, I approached it as I described earlier without any planning. Now going back a second time.. it just feels too good to be true. I never let myself get too excited about things. Cus that way I don’t have to get major disappointed or at least no one can say ”I told you so” if it weren’t to happen. I know what it’s like in Japan, I know what to expect. But I constantly think about the trip. Longing. And having this blog just hypes it even more for me. I don’t want to build it up to something that it might not be. Even though everything is booked and paid for and that I in my head plan on things I want to do there, I’m still convinced that the trip might not happen. It’s all too good to be true.
