I would just wander around Kyoto, I really enjoy how peaceful it seems (I live in the city so it is very loud and busy) I’d probably visit the temples and get some tasty food. Take care everyone rest well ✌️ @rosiosalas_
Bright neon lights,ancient temples,delicious street foods, and high - tech billboards taped into tall skyscrapers. there's no place quite like Tokyo and exploring it is a real treat. I LOVE VISITING TOKYO :)
Ao Island also known as Neko island is one of my dream destinations as a cat lover. Just imagine all those adorable kitties coming up to you wanting your attention and playing with them😭 anyway looking forward to the Japan series♥️ @saisighed
Hello linh! Hope you are doing well and that your trip truly lightened up your time…. If I ever went to Japan I would go to Hiroshima, and visit the museum and pay my respects there, because when I was so little, my parents took me there and I met this old man who had survived the events in Hiroshima, and beyond the language barrier, he talked to me in the wisest, kindest and most helpful way I have ever heard. This man and this place marked me for life, and he taught me to make origami cranes, I’d love to go put one back there
I want to fly to Kyoto and be there a few days, some days in Osaka and then some days in Tokyo. I wanna visit the Ghibli museum (and maybe find a way to go to the Ghibli park too), be in the Nara park, visit a lot of temples and give myself a lot of room to just explore the cities I'm in! (I don't really use my IG, so please just answer this comment and I'll see it!)
Its so crazy how fast these years have gone by. I remember watching you rearrange your room while you were in high school. Now I'm watching you with my baby on my lap and you're travelling the world, working with brands like Nintendo!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you and everything you've accomplished
When you said "in college life is just coping by promising your friends that if you all decide to drop out and you don't have careers, you'll work on opening a cafe together" I FELT THAT cause it's literally my friend group's plan :') GREAT so that's universal
The fact that you got so many cute things for your friends and your mom literally makes me tear up. And not even some random gifts, but suuuuper thoughtful ones 😭
hi! ive been feeling a little overwhelmed because of college and watching your videos is (and always has been) so comforting, that i really thank you for creating this safe place for us
THE KOKUYO CAMPUS NOTEBOOKS! THEY”RE SO GOOD! The cream colorway is Kokuyo’s recycled paper line, which is just as good as the regular! Nothing bleeds through at all and the paper is soooo smooth… highly recommend :)
I've been OBSESSED with japan since i was in 6th grade (im now a senior🥲) thanks to my history teacher talking about a japan trip she was planning with her family. The culture is so beautiful and im such a geek for architecture, garments, ART, and everything in between :,)!!! I love your channel and your style, it really inspires me :>!
It’s crazy how much you’ve grown and how much the community has experienced. I’ve been watching you since high school and now I’m preparing to apply to law school. A lot of times it feels like I’m just in over my head but watching your content really helps me ground myself and remind myself that I deserve peace, rest, and fun. I am very thankful for the inspiration and comfort you’ve given me over the years and I’m excited to see all the things you continue to accomplish. ❤ As for visiting Japan fall is my absolute favorite season so I dream of visiting Hokkaido in the fall for all the gorgeous colors. If you’d like to see cool content on life in Japan I love Sharla in Japan. Anyways wishing you well! ❤❤
I'm from Eastern Washington and I remember watching your videos when we were both high school and getting so excited seeing that you were from the same area of the state. It is amazing to see how far you have come and being in college and seeing you close to graduation makes me tear up! You definitely inspire me in your creativity, hobbies, fashion, and travel. Thank you for being such an amazing corner of the internet! You have had such a positive impact on me!
Linh, your videos helped me get through pandemic. at one point, it inspired me to open my own youtube channel that made me realize you're so good in this craft. you have become an inspiration and i love your uni videos. you're a legit multitasker for being able to do everything at once. i hope to have the same drive as you, the same grit to get through life. please continue to be an inspiration to all even if life gets hard. PS. genuine thoughts for a genuine girl. love ya 🥰
Japan is so far up my bucket list - I feel like Osaka is probably the place I'd want to visit most but honestly everywhere in Japan seems so interesting and different and they all have their specialities: shopping, skiing, temples
It’s so crazy how fast time flies. I used to watch these videos in high school to get me ready for college and I can’t tell you how much these have helped in keeping me calm and giving me time and motivation to keep going. I’m almost a junior in college now and I will keep watching these. I’m honestly obsessed with Mount. Fiji and since I was young I would beg my dad to take me. He would always tell me “One day.” Then I’d wake up the next day and ask again. I plan to take that trip when I graduate and a present to myself. Much love❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back! I really enjoyed your haul, and I'm eagerly anticipating your Japan travel videos! Your aesthetic truly sets you apart, Linh! I remember you from your bookstagram days... 💕
LINH I started watching you almost 4 years ago, when I was in year 6, now I'm in year 10 (australia) AND YOURE NEARLY GRADUATED AND TRAVELLING THE WORLD!!!! I'm really happy for you! You're a inspiration for me and h will continue to be 🥰
The wholesome and homie feels I get from every video is the best. Then reading the comment section where everyone is just giving each other love. Linh, I hope you get to continue with your dreams and we can just be here to watch :)))
I started watching you when i was 13 during the covid lockdow and now i am 17 , Its crazy to see how much you grew as a person but also as a youtuber . You always were a source of inspiration for me , the way you edit your video , your style , everything . Really thank you for your content linh
I am a current freshman in college studying Industrial Engineering, and one of the many things that help me gain the motivation I need towards my self care and mental health is watching your videos! Thank you for radiating positivity and balance between self care and academia ❤️
What amazing things you got! I really admire Japanese craftsmanship, from stationery like paper and stickers, to chef knives and ceramics! Can’t wait for the Japan diaries
i am current a first year at my university so def been a busy year. i was looking into studying abroad at japan so watching you show your haul just made me excited. i really want to visit the ghibli museum cuz i love the music and animations in the ghibli films. tysm for your content its always such nice eye candy to watch
I’ve been dreaming of going to Japan for the first time for so many years, I can’t pick just one place, but I think the thing I wanna do most is have a couple of days to just get lost in a town, without touristy things to visit, no plan, no nothing, just getting lost and getting to explore a town and meeting people in the most natural setting possible ☺️ congrats on your trip and nearly being a grad! 🙌🏻
Can’t believe how far we’ve come and how you’ve grown. When I started watching you, you were in high school and I was just starting college… and now you’re almost done with college and I’m just about to graduate! This vid also made me miss Japan so much, I’d love to take a road trip around Hokkaido or around mt Fuji
I've never been to Japan but I'd love to, besides the viral things and food and places I see on the internet that get me intrigued to visit, a huge motivation for me to work my as* off to be able to visit Japan (and Korea) is how I keep relating to the cultures of these East Asian countries, especially being from Sudan, a country that anyone would think would have a completely different culture to those countries, it"s honestly so wholesome and heartwarming to be reminded that we're all humans who are connected in the simplest ways, whether it would be how we address and talk to each other, our table manners, and so on :)!
last week i started to watch your videos again after a while because i had no time, i was so busy with school work and projects.. now i am trying to create that space for myself and watching your videos is just a form of selfcare to me. your work inspires me, gives me positive energy, just everything i need. i don’t even know when exactly i started to watch your videos. it was like maaany years ago, but i am so so grateful for you being here!
It has been so incredible to watch you grow, Linh! I’ve been watching for years and since I started watching I graduated with my bachelors during peak COVID, took a gap year, started and completed my masters program, and became a licensed social worker! Throughout that time I’ve had many, many mental health struggles and your videos always gave me comfort. I appreciate you very very much 💜
whenever i watch linh videos it feels like i am talking to a best friend because she is always radiating authenticity through her videos. you can feel she loves whatever she does and puts her heart and soul and is such a grateful person. she makes me inspire in so many parts of life may be it creating, literacy, ethnicity. i pray linh gets all that she deserves💝🎀
you mentioning the animal crossing video popping off made me realize just how long I've been watching! I remember watching that when it just came out, time absolutely flies its insane! I've been struggling a bit with an academic path (dropped out, reenrolled, second guessing my major, etc etc) and honestly it's been nice hearing you talk about graduating, bit of a 'light at the end of the tunnel' situation for me haha. I've been dying to go see the F1 grand prix in Suzuka and but this year just too many things were crazy to make it work. It's a trip that is definitely on my 'someday' list and I'm excited to see the rest of ur travel vlogs for more inspo/other places to go!
I’m so excited for the Japan vlogs! I’ve literally been watching your channel since your book haul from 5 years ago and seeing your content evolution has been inspiring and comforting. Post-grad depression is real and just watching your videos just gotten me out of a few slumps here and there over the last couple of months. I hope to be able to dive back into some of my old hobbies and be able to create some meaningful pieces. 💜
Girllll can’t believe your about to graduateeee! Right now I am a sophomore in my university and I can’t wait to graduate! Uni is tough jajaja. If I could travel to any part of Japan it will be Tokio or Oshu (I think that’s how you write it) since that is were my favorite baseball player was born. @darianna504
i really love nature and getting to know new places and cultures. right now i’m in costa rica for a year, volunteering in an indigenous territory and from getting to know the nature and culture here i’ve become even more obsessed with seeing different parts of the world. going to asia was never that high on my bucket list but in the last few months my desire to see that part of the world has grown so much. it might not be a place specifically but i would someday really like to visit japan for the cherry blossoms. i feel like that would just really calm my soul and mind. hopefully i’ll someday get the chance. thank you Linh for sharing your life and experiences with us, i really appreciate getting a peek into other people’s reallities.
love watching your videos!! currently on my internship year of my degree and missing the student environment and running into my friends on a daily basis. listening to your videos helps a lot!
I love that almost everything you saw around you during your trip reminded you of your loved ones! The cute stationery you showed for the giveaway is making me want to hop on the Campus notebooks hype too omg :'))
Linh, you are such a wholesome soul. I’ve been watching your vids since the high school vlogs and it’s just awesome seeing you grow! This channel and your vids honestly got me through college and then some…so from a stranger on the internet, please just keep being you! You are awesome!!
hi linh! life's pretty challenging lately. i am literally the same age as you were when i first discovered your channel. im in my 2nd year of college. i remember being immensely captivated by your creative editing. every time i see your videos i know i will be inspired to do life again. anyway, it's weird being 19. the transition to adulthood is scary but the freedom is everything. i also remember being soooo inlove with your old dorm and never have i thought i will live with other people, i am now and it's kinda fun. thank you for everything that you do and for being so generous to your friends❤
I am so excited for the next chapter of your life after graduation. I remember watching your videos from when you first moved away from home! Always wishing you the best linh
Ty for your videos and for showing us the world from time to time! Japan was my dream destination when I was about 13 but tbh now that I’m an adult I still have the desire to see and experience the many layers of this magnificent country. The thing about Japan is that the country offers you the possibility to not only dive into their history with their many temples, festivals etc. but to also see something new and extraordinary. I must say that I love their architecture ….. I’m talking about the minimalistic houses heheh.
i love you, and i love how you show us that the life of your dreams is right thereeee!!!! i love how you is a human being and this is so inspired!!!!! i'm glad to be here for all this years. LOVE YOU 💕💕
12:00 my family has these!! we use them to put cooking utensils on when we're in the kitchen instead of leaning them on pots/pans -- keeps sauces from getting everywhere lol 15:07 i can imagine wearing that jacket with lots of pins and having patches on it,, it's so adorable !!
I have never traveled outside of the US and haven’t traveled much in the US either. I have two siblings going to Japan next year and it would be so incredible to be able to go one day. I would love to visit temples in Kyoto. I’m not sure if they really let tourists go inside and I don’t want to interrupt anyone’s religious practice but just to view them and feel the energy I think would be so peaceful. Anyways, I think I stumbled across your channel right before you were going to college so wish it’s so crazy that you’re almost done!! I wish you the best in your last semester🫶🏽
OMG i'm leaving for japan soon and i'm so glad you posted this video because i NEED to visit that tea house... you fr visited the COOLEST places EVER and have the best taste in souvenirs ever (even the ones you bought on a whim)! I feel like I should also avoid 100 yen stores or else...
hey from the uk! I remember watching you back when you started college and was inspired by how independent you were, watching you grow and become even more independent has helped me through my own university experience and now I've decided to solo travel once I graduate next year! I'd love to visit all parts of Japan and other places in Asia.
hai! I'm not sure how long I've been watching you...for sure at least these last three years, quite sporadically. Time moves weird, anyways your videos always have a cozy feeling and they bring me comfort when I'm having a depressive episode, I think watching you do your vlogs and living your lovely life gives me hope and makes me want better for myself. I think it's part of the reason why I went back to school. Currently tho, aside from school I've been entering into writing contests (I'm currently trying to finish up an entry) and trying to explore life more. I'm happy you're doing well ! :3
I dream of coming to japan, their culture and history is so rich. Every bits and angle of their country is judt so beautiful and tells alot of stories. So happy to see this haul, and so excited for upcoming Japan vlogs!
hey linh, I am also graduating college this semester and I've been so stressed and scared but your videos have been so helpful. I've been following you since day one and I'm very happy to have grown up with you by my side. I am super proud of what you have become, thank you for everything
I just became a mom and you have now idea how glad I am to still be able to watch the vids. Brings me back to how I was before and helps with the reliving my grief. Thank you linh ❤
I remember finding your channel right after I broke up with my (insert expletive) ex and right before I started college about 5 years ago. I know you didn't realize it, but you seriously helped me to grow into a better, more self-assured person, and I'm so thankful! If you ever do a meet and greet, I hope to be there!
hi linh :”) i started watching you when i first started college and you were getting your college decisions! ive finally landed my first job after grad and i have been trying to find old self again with hobbies and interests. i hope you enjoy your last semester and post-grad treats you well
the lucky charms are so reaking cute, i want to cry. the snake all curled up, the chubby happy rat, and super cool horse and the fancy hairstyle 😭😭 i love them
First off, I am so immensely proud/happy that you took time for yourself to travel. You balance so much being a creator, student, friend, daughter, ect (See all the hats you wear?!) and by taking time to fill your cup, it allows you to fill others. And you are doing so by offering such a generous giveaway, so thank you so much for that :,)
hey linh! these days i've been very busy with uni but i finally found the time to sit down and watch your japan haul. i think it's so sweet that you're always thinking of others even when you're solo travelling. it's very obvious that your love language is gift giving 💖 visiting japan has been in my bucket list and i'm hoping i can visit universal studios japan someday :O
I started watching you when you first opened your small stationery business. I'm so proud of all that you've done since then! Time flies by so fast! Currently, I'm thinking about leaving my job that I've been in for like 8 years for a new job in a different field. Going to start the application process sometime next month so send me your good wishes! It'll definitely be stepping out of my comfort zone but I felt that I've been too comfortable in my current field that has no opportunity for any growth.
I dream of going to Japan one day! That was a dreamy haul omg🥹 I really want to go for like a whole month to be able to visit as many cities as possible, go to the countryside and discover Japan's traditions!
I’m doing so good lately, I’ve been dealing with a major depressive episode. And I can finely say I’m doing better. Your videos helping me finding joy again and I’m so thankful for you. Seeing you living your best life and seeing you grow gives me so much hope! You go Linh, I’m a silent fan for so long and I adore you ❤
Hi Linh! I've been watching your videos for what feels like a time life right now. You always give an amazing and beautiful energy ✨ My life right now has been good i moved to a whole new country and it has its good and bad days, but I'm loving every part of it. Seing your videos feels like a safe space in the middle of everything and for that I will always be thankful to you
Hey linh! Started watching your videos a couple of months ago and I really enjoy the calm and friendly vibe. It's my first year in uni, studying environmental engineering, and during stressful times it's so nice to just watch your channel and wind down. Your pov on hobbies has inspired me to start crocheting again:) Thanks for creating this space! Much love from Sweden
I was just in Japan last may 😭😭😭 and i wish I couldve gotten to see more, a week was definitely not enough. I got a bunch of stationary and tea towels for friends too, but I honestly wish I had gotten more stuff and taken more pictures and just seen more, this video warmed my heart and made me wanna go back!!! I started watching your videos in college sometime (graduated 2020) and they’re always a delight and a form of self care as some others have stated- thank you for putting so much love and work into them 💖💖 I feel like I have been growing alongside you all these years, so happy to see you thriving and killing it and getting to travel and see the world. You inspire me 🫶🏻
I’m not sure if I would visit Japan. I do love a lot of stuff about Japan, but I feel a calling to go back to Germany and Switzerland first as an adult. Life update though, I graduated college with my Bachelor’s almost a year ago (May will be a year) and I have been working at my first professional job for about 6 months now. I am very grateful and happy with life even will all the hiccups that seem to be non stop. I don’t think I could have said that two years ago but I am so grateful to be able to say that today. I’ve been on and off with a lot of things (burnout and mental illness does that) but I always come back to your videos. We all appreciate you putting your time, work and authentic self into each one of your videos. It shows how much you care for your community and how genuine of a person you are. Give Kayla all the pats!! (I also have a cat named Felix and his life update is he got a fancy shave and got put on a diet. He is a fat, black, long haired cat who loves cuddles and under the blanket.)
I started watching you when you were still in high school because I was looking for some inspiration for decorating my room. I love your aesthetic and after I found your videos of you rearranging your room, I stuck with you. Then you started studying and so did I, and when I lost the motivation to study, I watched one of your "Study with me" videos where you portray studying so aesthetically that I wanted to study again :D Now I'm writing my thesis and I'm almost done with another chapter in my life. After that, I want to travel for a while and Japan is also one of my destinations. I will look at your Japan diaries for inspiration. But I definitely want to go to all the shrines, the Ghibli Museum and all the pretty stores! Thank you for sharing your life here on YT, you were always like a warm hug when I watched a video of yours because of your genuine and bubbly nature.
I feel very nervous and anxious because in an hour I have to leave for my road test for my drivers licenses but it was very nice to watch your trinkets! Very soothing.
Tokyo is definitely on my bucket list! The bustling streets, neon lights, and endless shopping districts seem like an adventure waiting to happen. On a personal note, I recently adopted a puppy and he's bringing so much joy into my life.
I have been watching Linh for a few years now, there has been lots of growth yet Linh has still stayed so incredibly humble and their engagement with subscribers is amazing. I'm just finishing up my first year of uni at the age of 20, I'm studying fine art! last year I really got into playing Zelda on my dads switch. it became kind of like a bonding moment for us which I'm very thankful for, but it means I can only play when I'm home for the holidays :( i have been working on getting a job and I have said that as soon as I get paid I will buy a switch, but its hard out here and I haven't yet found a job. just going to try my luck, I also just want to say thank you to linh if they see this!! thank you for always being so real and I'm also hoping to take a trip to Colmar next year as I was inspired by your trip!
Hi Linh! I’ve been a silent subscriber but love watching your videos. It gives me so much comfort in seeing how much you care for the people around you! It feels like I’m experiencing and feeling this excitement through you. I would love to visit Japan someday and experience the rich culture and the beautiful nature. As a South African that has never left the country this is a goal for one day. For my life update…things have been difficult. As a student who just lives to get through another assignment I strive to find the little joys in life. Even though it’s fleeting it keeps me going. Luckily I have a week off to catch up on classes and read some of my TBR books. Thank you so much for sharing your findings and little joys.🩷
i have been dreaming of going to japan forever!! i would love to visit ghibli park. being in college and living in my own has made me very nostalgic for a time of child-like wonderment and curiosity, and i am always trying to bring those qualities, even with my adult responsibilities and all that. so all the studio ghibli films allow me to connect to my imagination, and remember to play, be kind, and appreciate the small pleasures of life. and visiting ghibili park would really allow me to immerse myself in that world and connect to my inner child ♡
No because ive been dying to watch your japan vlogs, and it made me unbearably happy just watching you show all the stuff you got from there and realising if i had gone to japan this is exactly the kind of stuff id buy (tons of stationary, stickers, notebooks and mugs)
everything is so cute !!! one of my favourite parts of travelling is buying little things for my friends and family that i know they'll love!! and ohmygoodness the ghibli museum is like the top of my bucket list of places to visit
GAHH every time i watch your videos im overwhelmed by the feeling of nostalgia, i didn't even remember that you only got big during the pandemic since i could've sworn i've known your channel since forever! ANYWAY life update! I started uni 2021, and ever since then, I've had a full-time job while studying full-time too. watching you experience the same thing gave me the confidence that i can pull it off too but god, it has been so so so tough. I remember thinking maybe i should quit school because there was a point where my grades were so low that i thought i was gonna fail anyway. i barely slept, i barely played online games. nothing felt like comfortable, i felt guilty when i took the time to do anything other than work, sleep, eat, or go to school. i'd like to think now, 2024, i've had a better balance in my life. i still dont play as much games as i would like, but i get enough sleep now, im doing well in school and at work PLUS i take myself out on self care dates. i feel like im finally getting a grip on things at 22
hi linh!! ive been watching you since 2020,, not only have i felt so warm and comforted by your content (elder siblings, responsibilities along with personal pursuits in life) but it has inspired me be more productive and spend more quality time w myself and my friends!! i think if i had the opportunity to go to japan, I'd definitely want to check out their bookstores and go to a udon place (thanks to ghibli movies) also, totally understand about the complex emotions around graduating this year !! but remember to take it one step at a time!! take care
Hi Lihn! I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your videos. They've been a source of comfort and inspiration for me during this period. After finishing my bachelor's degree, I've been facing some hurdles in getting into my desired master's program, so this year, I'm mostly at home. But I'm staying positive, especially with the support of my friends and my girlfriend. Your videos help me stay motivated and focused on doing my best. Thank you for being a bright spot in my day!
Ive been known you recently. I havent watched youtube for years. Some of my favorite youtubers have quitted from doing it. TH-cam was always my special place beside all the platforms out there. So that time was kind of bad. Not watching youtube is something that I never think of. But then I found your videos. Watching your video, your editing style, your vibe. Bring all the good stuff back. It means a lot to me. Thank you for doing what you are doing now and please keep it upppp.
idk where i'd visit in japan bc i have never travelled internationally BUT watching studio ghiblis makes me soo nostalgic for a place i have never been to. seeing even the doorstep of japan would be nice (manifesting manifesting!). also just wanted to say that you are sooo cutteee. i don't think there's a video of yours which hasn't made me pause and be like, 'wow, even her face has good energy.' all the best linh!!!💛💛
I love everything you got in Japan!! I would love to visit Japan one day and try all the food and visit those cute places too. One day! I hope you had so much fun on your trip😊 You are doing such amazing things at such a young age❤
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan, not only for the Studio Ghibli and anime vibes but also for their historical places. I’ve been always interested the historical architecture and important places where changed the course of history in Japan as well of other countries. I feel like seeing these places makes one think about how monumental these places are and find a feeling of connection one has. I’m glad you were able to go! ❤
Seeing how excited you were to give the gifts you bought to your family and friends is so heartwarming! Your friends and family are lucky to have someone like u in there life, and I remember watching your videos in high school and seeing how much you’ve grown- your such an inspiring beautiful and smart person, your videos reach and touch people in a powerful way. Thank you ❤
honestly your videos are such a nice respite for me from the stress of being a first-year college student. helps me feel like i'm not all alone despite how isolating my experience has been ^^
Exploring the bustling streets of Tokyo has been a dream of mine! From the vibrant nightlife to the eclectic mix of traditional and modern architecture, there's so much to see and do.
I can't believe you’re getting ready to graduate! 🥺I've also been following you for a while, I remember your senior year of high school videos. I graduated college years ago, and watching your journey has been amazing! I wish you luck as you prepare for graduation! 💖
I’ve been watching your channel since you were in high school and I feel like we’ve grown up together and went through similar life events at the same time so it’s been lovely following all the fun things you’ve got up to over the years! Seeing your growth in confidence as a person has been so sweet too! Please keep doing what you’re doing 💐💓
Okinawa's stunning beaches and rich cultural heritage are calling out to me! I can already imagine myself snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. On a different note, I recently completed a marathon, and the sense of achievement was incredible.
I don’t think I’ve ever had the feeling of “OMG I have to go there!” I’ve never really traveled outside of my state, but watching your videos makes me think “maybe one day” 😊
I've been watching you since your college vlogs because it was therapy watching your vlogs during my uni season. now i'm in my final year, grinding for my final year project. it's been a wonderful journey watching your vlogs because I feel like we're growing together 🥹🫶🏻
Half my family lives in Japan, and the area they live in near Tokyo is like a second home to me. This video made me so nostalgic for the tiny restaurants of cheap and delicious food and never ending stationary stores and the beauty of the local life. I hope to visit again soon❤
I've never been to Japan, but I feel like watching this video somehow gave me a sweet tiny little taste of it and got me more and more motivated to take a deep breath, pack my bags and get on a plane, I swear! Oh, and visiting Studio Ghibli? I'd be dreaming awake. Thank you for always sharing these sweet tiny little things with us, Linh!
can't wait for the Japan diaries! I'm actually going to Japan with a friend a couple months from now, and I'm definitely most excited to see the Ghibli Museum! It's been one of my absolute favorite animation studios for so long and I've been collecting ungodly amounts of merch, haha! It gives me jitters just thinking about it! seeing everything you brought home makes me so excited to look for my own amazing souvenirs and gifts
I'm watching this and it feels so nostalgic, I started watching you when I was still in college and now I have my first job as a biologist. Greetings from Chile :)
Girl I followed you since you were in high school and now you are graduating 😭. Well My favorite thing in japan are the shrines, they are filled with so much culture
Hi linh! As always, i loved your video. It’s so weird to think how much you’ve grown and changed. I watched you back when you rearranged your bedroom and put up a new bed, and now you’re living in Washington and living your best life travelling the world! Japan!!! Crazy!!! I really do feel like you’re more than a content creator, you’ve become a friend to your viewers. So yeah, I’m grateful to be a part of these corner of TH-cam. Japan has always been a place I’ve wanted to live since i was a kid, Kyoto especially. It has such a rich history and seems like such a calming place, as well as incredibly beautiful. Obviously I’d love to visit Tokyo as I’m a big anime fan!! Anyway, thanks for always being a joy to watch, i started watching you when i was 14 and now I’m 18, it’s crazy how time flies. With love Lily (pun intended) ❤
I still can’t believe that I actually got to meet you at a concert, I also absolutely can’t believe how awkward I was and how sweet you were 😂. I think the stars perfectly aligned with me finding your channel right after I got my job in DC. Seeing your videos made the move from Europe less daunting. Plus, all of the great things, from daring to try out more creative hobbies to focusing on rest. It’s wild how much of a positive impact you have had on my life. Just a big thank you 💛

I would just wander around Kyoto, I really enjoy how peaceful it seems (I live in the city so it is very loud and busy) I’d probably visit the temples and get some tasty food. Take care everyone rest well ✌️
@rosiosalas_
Bright neon lights,ancient temples,delicious street foods, and high - tech billboards taped into tall skyscrapers. there's no place quite like Tokyo and exploring it is a real treat. I LOVE VISITING TOKYO :)
Ao Island also known as Neko island is one of my dream destinations as a cat lover. Just imagine all those adorable kitties coming up to you wanting your attention and playing with them😭 anyway looking forward to the Japan series♥️ @saisighed
Hello linh!
Hope you are doing well and that your trip truly lightened up your time…. If I ever went to Japan I would go to Hiroshima, and visit the museum and pay my respects there, because when I was so little, my parents took me there and I met this old man who had survived the events in Hiroshima, and beyond the language barrier, he talked to me in the wisest, kindest and most helpful way I have ever heard. This man and this place marked me for life, and he taught me to make origami cranes, I’d love to go put one back there
I want to fly to Kyoto and be there a few days, some days in Osaka and then some days in Tokyo. I wanna visit the Ghibli museum (and maybe find a way to go to the Ghibli park too), be in the Nara park, visit a lot of temples and give myself a lot of room to just explore the cities I'm in! (I don't really use my IG, so please just answer this comment and I'll see it!)
Its so crazy how fast these years have gone by. I remember watching you rearrange your room while you were in high school. Now I'm watching you with my baby on my lap and you're travelling the world, working with brands like Nintendo!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you and everything you've accomplished
omg same here!! baby and all! 🥹
Sammeeee
same here, how exciting that we're all growing up!!
She was my biggest inspiration when i was 13 (im 16 now and i talked with some ppl about hair and her blue hair era will remain in my head forever xD)
right!! 🥹
When you said "in college life is just coping by promising your friends that if you all decide to drop out and you don't have careers, you'll work on opening a cafe together" I FELT THAT cause it's literally my friend group's plan :') GREAT so that's universal
The fact that you got so many cute things for your friends and your mom literally makes me tear up. And not even some random gifts, but suuuuper thoughtful ones 😭
Love your videos so much!
The fact you were always thinking about your friends while you were shopping is so cute!!It shows how important they are to you
hi! ive been feeling a little overwhelmed because of college and watching your videos is (and always has been) so comforting, that i really thank you for creating this safe place for us
THE KOKUYO CAMPUS NOTEBOOKS! THEY”RE SO GOOD! The cream colorway is Kokuyo’s recycled paper line, which is just as good as the regular! Nothing bleeds through at all and the paper is soooo smooth… highly recommend :)
I literally love…it’s my new fav notebooks from them
I've been OBSESSED with japan since i was in 6th grade (im now a senior🥲) thanks to my history teacher talking about a japan trip she was planning with her family. The culture is so beautiful and im such a geek for architecture, garments, ART, and everything in between :,)!!! I love your channel and your style, it really inspires me :>!
I admire those who know the people they love so much that they get these very specific gifts
It’s crazy how much you’ve grown and how much the community has experienced. I’ve been watching you since high school and now I’m preparing to apply to law school. A lot of times it feels like I’m just in over my head but watching your content really helps me ground myself and remind myself that I deserve peace, rest, and fun. I am very thankful for the inspiration and comfort you’ve given me over the years and I’m excited to see all the things you continue to accomplish. ❤
As for visiting Japan fall is my absolute favorite season so I dream of visiting Hokkaido in the fall for all the gorgeous colors. If you’d like to see cool content on life in Japan I love Sharla in Japan. Anyways wishing you well! ❤❤
I'm from Eastern Washington and I remember watching your videos when we were both high school and getting so excited seeing that you were from the same area of the state. It is amazing to see how far you have come and being in college and seeing you close to graduation makes me tear up! You definitely inspire me in your creativity, hobbies, fashion, and travel. Thank you for being such an amazing corner of the internet! You have had such a positive impact on me!
Linh, your videos helped me get through pandemic. at one point, it inspired me to open my own youtube channel that made me realize you're so good in this craft. you have become an inspiration and i love your uni videos. you're a legit multitasker for being able to do everything at once. i hope to have the same drive as you, the same grit to get through life. please continue to be an inspiration to all even if life gets hard.
PS. genuine thoughts for a genuine girl. love ya 🥰
IT’S FROM JAPAAAAAAAN 🎶
BAGAHHAHA
ITS A GREY OBLONG PILL (i really hope this is the right reference 😭)
ITS A GRAY OBLONG PILL! QUANTUM NANO TECHNOLOGY CPU
THE QUANTUM COMPUTER IN THE PILL WILL TRAVEL THROUGH YOUE BLOOD UNTIL
Japan is so far up my bucket list - I feel like Osaka is probably the place I'd want to visit most but honestly everywhere in Japan seems so interesting and different and they all have their specialities: shopping, skiing, temples
It’s so crazy how fast time flies. I used to watch these videos in high school to get me ready for college and I can’t tell you how much these have helped in keeping me calm and giving me time and motivation to keep going. I’m almost a junior in college now and I will keep watching these. I’m honestly obsessed with Mount. Fiji and since I was young I would beg my dad to take me. He would always tell me “One day.” Then I’d wake up the next day and ask again. I plan to take that trip when I graduate and a present to myself. Much love❤️❤️❤️
Welcome back! I really enjoyed your haul, and I'm eagerly anticipating your Japan travel videos! Your aesthetic truly sets you apart, Linh! I remember you from your bookstagram days... 💕
LINH I started watching you almost 4 years ago, when I was in year 6, now I'm in year 10 (australia) AND YOURE NEARLY GRADUATED AND TRAVELLING THE WORLD!!!! I'm really happy for you! You're a inspiration for me and h will continue to be 🥰
The wholesome and homie feels I get from every video is the best. Then reading the comment section where everyone is just giving each other love. Linh, I hope you get to continue with your dreams and we can just be here to watch :)))
I started watching you when i was 13 during the covid lockdow and now i am 17 , Its crazy to see how much you grew as a person but also as a youtuber . You always were a source of inspiration for me , the way you edit your video , your style , everything . Really thank you for your content linh
I am a current freshman in college studying Industrial Engineering, and one of the many things that help me gain the motivation I need towards my self care and mental health is watching your videos! Thank you for radiating positivity and balance between self care and academia ❤️
What amazing things you got! I really admire Japanese craftsmanship, from stationery like paper and stickers, to chef knives and ceramics! Can’t wait for the Japan diaries
hi linh!! You're one of the few TH-camrs that I've kept up with for years, ur videos are so comforting and watching them makes me so happy
i am current a first year at my university so def been a busy year. i was looking into studying abroad at japan so watching you show your haul just made me excited. i really want to visit the ghibli museum cuz i love the music and animations in the ghibli films. tysm for your content its always such nice eye candy to watch
I’ve been dreaming of going to Japan for the first time for so many years, I can’t pick just one place, but I think the thing I wanna do most is have a couple of days to just get lost in a town, without touristy things to visit, no plan, no nothing, just getting lost and getting to explore a town and meeting people in the most natural setting possible ☺️ congrats on your trip and nearly being a grad! 🙌🏻
Can’t believe how far we’ve come and how you’ve grown. When I started watching you, you were in high school and I was just starting college… and now you’re almost done with college and I’m just about to graduate! This vid also made me miss Japan so much, I’d love to take a road trip around Hokkaido or around mt Fuji
I've never been to Japan but I'd love to, besides the viral things and food and places I see on the internet that get me intrigued to visit, a huge motivation for me to work my as* off to be able to visit Japan (and Korea) is how I keep relating to the cultures of these East Asian countries, especially being from Sudan, a country that anyone would think would have a completely different culture to those countries, it"s honestly so wholesome and heartwarming to be reminded that we're all humans who are connected in the simplest ways, whether it would be how we address and talk to each other, our table manners, and so on :)!
i love giftgiving so its sooo nice seeing others have the same personality 😭
last week i started to watch your videos again after a while because i had no time, i was so busy with school work and projects.. now i am trying to create that space for myself and watching your videos is just a form of selfcare to me. your work inspires me, gives me positive energy, just everything i need. i don’t even know when exactly i started to watch your videos. it was like maaany years ago, but i am so so grateful for you being here!
It has been so incredible to watch you grow, Linh! I’ve been watching for years and since I started watching I graduated with my bachelors during peak COVID, took a gap year, started and completed my masters program, and became a licensed social worker! Throughout that time I’ve had many, many mental health struggles and your videos always gave me comfort. I appreciate you very very much 💜
whenever i watch linh videos it feels like i am talking to a best friend because she is always radiating authenticity through her videos. you can feel she loves whatever she does and puts her heart and soul and is such a grateful person. she makes me inspire in so many parts of life may be it creating, literacy, ethnicity. i pray linh gets all that she deserves💝🎀
you mentioning the animal crossing video popping off made me realize just how long I've been watching! I remember watching that when it just came out, time absolutely flies its insane! I've been struggling a bit with an academic path (dropped out, reenrolled, second guessing my major, etc etc) and honestly it's been nice hearing you talk about graduating, bit of a 'light at the end of the tunnel' situation for me haha.
I've been dying to go see the F1 grand prix in Suzuka and but this year just too many things were crazy to make it work. It's a trip that is definitely on my 'someday' list and I'm excited to see the rest of ur travel vlogs for more inspo/other places to go!
I’m so excited for the Japan vlogs! I’ve literally been watching your channel since your book haul from 5 years ago and seeing your content evolution has been inspiring and comforting. Post-grad depression is real and just watching your videos just gotten me out of a few slumps here and there over the last couple of months. I hope to be able to dive back into some of my old hobbies and be able to create some meaningful pieces. 💜
Girllll can’t believe your about to graduateeee! Right now I am a sophomore in my university and I can’t wait to graduate! Uni is tough jajaja. If I could travel to any part of Japan it will be Tokio or Oshu (I think that’s how you write it) since that is were my favorite baseball player was born. @darianna504
i really love nature and getting to know new places and cultures. right now i’m in costa rica for a year, volunteering in an indigenous territory and from getting to know the nature and culture here i’ve become even more obsessed with seeing different parts of the world. going to asia was never that high on my bucket list but in the last few months my desire to see that part of the world has grown so much. it might not be a place specifically but i would someday really like to visit japan for the cherry blossoms. i feel like that would just really calm my soul and mind. hopefully i’ll someday get the chance. thank you Linh for sharing your life and experiences with us, i really appreciate getting a peek into other people’s reallities.
love watching your videos!! currently on my internship year of my degree and missing the student environment and running into my friends on a daily basis. listening to your videos helps a lot!
I love that almost everything you saw around you during your trip reminded you of your loved ones! The cute stationery you showed for the giveaway is making me want to hop on the Campus notebooks hype too omg :'))
Linh, you are such a wholesome soul. I’ve been watching your vids since the high school vlogs and it’s just awesome seeing you grow! This channel and your vids honestly got me through college and then some…so from a stranger on the internet, please just keep being you! You are awesome!!
Linh, u r one of my all time favourite youtubers. And watching ur videos is like therapy for me. Love uuu
hi linh! life's pretty challenging lately. i am literally the same age as you were when i first discovered your channel. im in my 2nd year of college. i remember being immensely captivated by your creative editing. every time i see your videos i know i will be inspired to do life again. anyway, it's weird being 19. the transition to adulthood is scary but the freedom is everything. i also remember being soooo inlove with your old dorm and never have i thought i will live with other people, i am now and it's kinda fun. thank you for everything that you do and for being so generous to your friends❤
It's crazy how fast time goes! you're already graduating!! I'm so happy i get to grow along with you and see how you grow!
Omggg I’m literally planning a trip to Japan for September so this came at the perfect time!! I can’t wait for the Japan diaries!
Japan in the fall would be so beautiful you’re gonna have so much fun! Safe travels :,)
I am so excited for the next chapter of your life after graduation. I remember watching your videos from when you first moved away from home! Always wishing you the best linh
Ty for your videos and for showing us the world from time to time! Japan was my dream destination when I was about 13 but tbh now that I’m an adult I still have the desire to see and experience the many layers of this magnificent country. The thing about Japan is that the country offers you the possibility to not only dive into their history with their many temples, festivals etc. but to also see something new and extraordinary. I must say that I love their architecture ….. I’m talking about the minimalistic houses heheh.
i love you, and i love how you show us that the life of your dreams is right thereeee!!!! i love how you is a human being and this is so inspired!!!!! i'm glad to be here for all this years. LOVE YOU 💕💕
12:00 my family has these!! we use them to put cooking utensils on when we're in the kitchen instead of leaning them on pots/pans -- keeps sauces from getting everywhere lol
15:07 i can imagine wearing that jacket with lots of pins and having patches on it,, it's so adorable !!
I have never traveled outside of the US and haven’t traveled much in the US either. I have two siblings going to Japan next year and it would be so incredible to be able to go one day. I would love to visit temples in Kyoto. I’m not sure if they really let tourists go inside and I don’t want to interrupt anyone’s religious practice but just to view them and feel the energy I think would be so peaceful. Anyways, I think I stumbled across your channel right before you were going to college so wish it’s so crazy that you’re almost done!! I wish you the best in your last semester🫶🏽
OMG i'm leaving for japan soon and i'm so glad you posted this video because i NEED to visit that tea house... you fr visited the COOLEST places EVER and have the best taste in souvenirs ever (even the ones you bought on a whim)! I feel like I should also avoid 100 yen stores or else...
I GOT THE NOTIFICATION THE MOMENT I WAS REWATCHING THE OLD VIDS, I LOVE IT
Babe wake up, linh uploaded a new video. 💗
linh’s back!!!! yay!!!
hey from the uk! I remember watching you back when you started college and was inspired by how independent you were, watching you grow and become even more independent has helped me through my own university experience and now I've decided to solo travel once I graduate next year! I'd love to visit all parts of Japan and other places in Asia.
hai!
I'm not sure how long I've been watching you...for sure at least these last three years, quite sporadically. Time moves weird, anyways your videos always have a cozy feeling and they bring me comfort when I'm having a depressive episode, I think watching you do your vlogs and living your lovely life gives me hope and makes me want better for myself. I think it's part of the reason why I went back to school. Currently tho, aside from school I've been entering into writing contests (I'm currently trying to finish up an entry) and trying to explore life more. I'm happy you're doing well ! :3
Why’s everyone going to Japan without me😭😂
Yayyy so ready for this japan haull!!!
I dream of coming to japan, their culture and history is so rich. Every bits and angle of their country is judt so beautiful and tells alot of stories. So happy to see this haul, and so excited for upcoming Japan vlogs!
hey linh, I am also graduating college this semester and I've been so stressed and scared but your videos have been so helpful. I've been following you since day one and I'm very happy to have grown up with you by my side. I am super proud of what you have become, thank you for everything
Chipi chipi chapa luvi luvi daba daba
I just became a mom and you have now idea how glad I am to still be able to watch the vids. Brings me back to how I was before and helps with the reliving my grief. Thank you linh ❤
I remember finding your channel right after I broke up with my (insert expletive) ex and right before I started college about 5 years ago. I know you didn't realize it, but you seriously helped me to grow into a better, more self-assured person, and I'm so thankful! If you ever do a meet and greet, I hope to be there!
hi linh :”) i started watching you when i first started college and you were getting your college decisions! ive finally landed my first job after grad and i have been trying to find old self again with hobbies and interests.
i hope you enjoy your last semester and post-grad treats you well
the lucky charms are so reaking cute, i want to cry. the snake all curled up, the chubby happy rat, and super cool horse and the fancy hairstyle 😭😭 i love them
First off, I am so immensely proud/happy that you took time for yourself to travel. You balance so much being a creator, student, friend, daughter, ect (See all the hats you wear?!) and by taking time to fill your cup, it allows you to fill others. And you are doing so by offering such a generous giveaway, so thank you so much for that :,)
It’s so nice to see you grow up like when it was quarantine I used to watch you all the timee 🥲
hey linh! these days i've been very busy with uni but i finally found the time to sit down and watch your japan haul. i think it's so sweet that you're always thinking of others even when you're solo travelling. it's very obvious that your love language is gift giving 💖 visiting japan has been in my bucket list and i'm hoping i can visit universal studios japan someday :O
I started watching you when you first opened your small stationery business. I'm so proud of all that you've done since then! Time flies by so fast! Currently, I'm thinking about leaving my job that I've been in for like 8 years for a new job in a different field. Going to start the application process sometime next month so send me your good wishes! It'll definitely be stepping out of my comfort zone but I felt that I've been too comfortable in my current field that has no opportunity for any growth.
I dream of going to Japan one day! That was a dreamy haul omg🥹
I really want to go for like a whole month to be able to visit as many cities as possible, go to the countryside and discover Japan's traditions!
I’m doing so good lately, I’ve been dealing with a major depressive episode. And I can finely say I’m doing better. Your videos helping me finding joy again and I’m so thankful for you. Seeing you living your best life and seeing you grow gives me so much hope! You go Linh, I’m a silent fan for so long and I adore you ❤
Hi Linh!
I've been watching your videos for what feels like a time life right now. You always give an amazing and beautiful energy ✨
My life right now has been good i moved to a whole new country and it has its good and bad days, but I'm loving every part of it. Seing your videos feels like a safe space in the middle of everything and for that I will always be thankful to you
Hey linh! Started watching your videos a couple of months ago and I really enjoy the calm and friendly vibe. It's my first year in uni, studying environmental engineering, and during stressful times it's so nice to just watch your channel and wind down. Your pov on hobbies has inspired me to start crocheting again:) Thanks for creating this space! Much love from Sweden
I was just in Japan last may 😭😭😭 and i wish I couldve gotten to see more, a week was definitely not enough. I got a bunch of stationary and tea towels for friends too, but I honestly wish I had gotten more stuff and taken more pictures and just seen more, this video warmed my heart and made me wanna go back!!! I started watching your videos in college sometime (graduated 2020) and they’re always a delight and a form of self care as some others have stated- thank you for putting so much love and work into them 💖💖 I feel like I have been growing alongside you all these years, so happy to see you thriving and killing it and getting to travel and see the world. You inspire me 🫶🏻
I’m not sure if I would visit Japan. I do love a lot of stuff about Japan, but I feel a calling to go back to Germany and Switzerland first as an adult. Life update though, I graduated college with my Bachelor’s almost a year ago (May will be a year) and I have been working at my first professional job for about 6 months now. I am very grateful and happy with life even will all the hiccups that seem to be non stop. I don’t think I could have said that two years ago but I am so grateful to be able to say that today. I’ve been on and off with a lot of things (burnout and mental illness does that) but I always come back to your videos. We all appreciate you putting your time, work and authentic self into each one of your videos. It shows how much you care for your community and how genuine of a person you are. Give Kayla all the pats!! (I also have a cat named Felix and his life update is he got a fancy shave and got put on a diet. He is a fat, black, long haired cat who loves cuddles and under the blanket.)
I started watching you when you were still in high school because I was looking for some inspiration for decorating my room. I love your aesthetic and after I found your videos of you rearranging your room, I stuck with you. Then you started studying and so did I, and when I lost the motivation to study, I watched one of your "Study with me" videos where you portray studying so aesthetically that I wanted to study again :D Now I'm writing my thesis and I'm almost done with another chapter in my life. After that, I want to travel for a while and Japan is also one of my destinations. I will look at your Japan diaries for inspiration. But I definitely want to go to all the shrines, the Ghibli Museum and all the pretty stores! Thank you for sharing your life here on YT, you were always like a warm hug when I watched a video of yours because of your genuine and bubbly nature.
I feel very nervous and anxious because in an hour I have to leave for my road test for my drivers licenses but it was very nice to watch your trinkets! Very soothing.
Tokyo is definitely on my bucket list! The bustling streets, neon lights, and endless shopping districts seem like an adventure waiting to happen. On a personal note, I recently adopted a puppy and he's bringing so much joy into my life.
I have been watching Linh for a few years now, there has been lots of growth yet Linh has still stayed so incredibly humble and their engagement with subscribers is amazing. I'm just finishing up my first year of uni at the age of 20, I'm studying fine art!
last year I really got into playing Zelda on my dads switch. it became kind of like a bonding moment for us which I'm very thankful for, but it means I can only play when I'm home for the holidays :( i have been working on getting a job and I have said that as soon as I get paid I will buy a switch, but its hard out here and I haven't yet found a job. just going to try my luck, I also just want to say thank you to linh if they see this!! thank you for always being so real and I'm also hoping to take a trip to Colmar next year as I was inspired by your trip!
Hi Linh! I’ve been a silent subscriber but love watching your videos. It gives me so much comfort in seeing how much you care for the people around you! It feels like I’m experiencing and feeling this excitement through you. I would love to visit Japan someday and experience the rich culture and the beautiful nature. As a South African that has never left the country this is a goal for one day. For my life update…things have been difficult. As a student who just lives to get through another assignment I strive to find the little joys in life. Even though it’s fleeting it keeps me going. Luckily I have a week off to catch up on classes and read some of my TBR books. Thank you so much for sharing your findings and little joys.🩷
i have been dreaming of going to japan forever!! i would love to visit ghibli park. being in college and living in my own has made me very nostalgic for a time of child-like wonderment and curiosity, and i am always trying to bring those qualities, even with my adult responsibilities and all that. so all the studio ghibli films allow me to connect to my imagination, and remember to play, be kind, and appreciate the small pleasures of life. and visiting ghibili park would really allow me to immerse myself in that world and connect to my inner child ♡
No because ive been dying to watch your japan vlogs, and it made me unbearably happy just watching you show all the stuff you got from there and realising if i had gone to japan this is exactly the kind of stuff id buy (tons of stationary, stickers, notebooks and mugs)
everything is so cute !!! one of my favourite parts of travelling is buying little things for my friends and family that i know they'll love!! and ohmygoodness the ghibli museum is like the top of my bucket list of places to visit
GAHH every time i watch your videos im overwhelmed by the feeling of nostalgia, i didn't even remember that you only got big during the pandemic since i could've sworn i've known your channel since forever! ANYWAY life update! I started uni 2021, and ever since then, I've had a full-time job while studying full-time too. watching you experience the same thing gave me the confidence that i can pull it off too but god, it has been so so so tough. I remember thinking maybe i should quit school because there was a point where my grades were so low that i thought i was gonna fail anyway. i barely slept, i barely played online games. nothing felt like comfortable, i felt guilty when i took the time to do anything other than work, sleep, eat, or go to school. i'd like to think now, 2024, i've had a better balance in my life. i still dont play as much games as i would like, but i get enough sleep now, im doing well in school and at work PLUS i take myself out on self care dates. i feel like im finally getting a grip on things at 22
hi linh!! ive been watching you since 2020,, not only have i felt so warm and comforted by your content (elder siblings, responsibilities along with personal pursuits in life) but it has inspired me be more productive and spend more quality time w myself and my friends!! i think if i had the opportunity to go to japan, I'd definitely want to check out their bookstores and go to a udon place (thanks to ghibli movies) also, totally understand about the complex emotions around graduating this year !! but remember to take it one step at a time!! take care
Hi Lihn! I just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your videos. They've been a source of comfort and inspiration for me during this period. After finishing my bachelor's degree, I've been facing some hurdles in getting into my desired master's program, so this year, I'm mostly at home. But I'm staying positive, especially with the support of my friends and my girlfriend. Your videos help me stay motivated and focused on doing my best. Thank you for being a bright spot in my day!
Ive been known you recently. I havent watched youtube for years. Some of my favorite youtubers have quitted from doing it. TH-cam was always my special place beside all the platforms out there. So that time was kind of bad. Not watching youtube is something that I never think of. But then I found your videos. Watching your video, your editing style, your vibe. Bring all the good stuff back. It means a lot to me. Thank you for doing what you are doing now and please keep it upppp.
idk where i'd visit in japan bc i have never travelled internationally BUT watching studio ghiblis makes me soo nostalgic for a place i have never been to. seeing even the doorstep of japan would be nice (manifesting manifesting!). also just wanted to say that you are sooo cutteee. i don't think there's a video of yours which hasn't made me pause and be like, 'wow, even her face has good energy.' all the best linh!!!💛💛
I love everything you got in Japan!! I would love to visit Japan one day and try all the food and visit those cute places too. One day! I hope you had so much fun on your trip😊 You are doing such amazing things at such a young age❤
I’ve always wanted to go to Japan, not only for the Studio Ghibli and anime vibes but also for their historical places. I’ve been always interested the historical architecture and important places where changed the course of history in Japan as well of other countries. I feel like seeing these places makes one think about how monumental these places are and find a feeling of connection one has. I’m glad you were able to go! ❤
Seeing how excited you were to give the gifts you bought to your family and friends is so heartwarming! Your friends and family are lucky to have someone like u in there life, and I remember watching your videos in high school and seeing how much you’ve grown- your such an inspiring beautiful and smart person, your videos reach and touch people in a powerful way. Thank you ❤
honestly your videos are such a nice respite for me from the stress of being a first-year college student. helps me feel like i'm not all alone despite how isolating my experience has been ^^
Exploring the bustling streets of Tokyo has been a dream of mine! From the vibrant nightlife to the eclectic mix of traditional and modern architecture, there's so much to see and do.
I can't believe you’re getting ready to graduate! 🥺I've also been following you for a while, I remember your senior year of high school videos. I graduated college years ago, and watching your journey has been amazing! I wish you luck as you prepare for graduation! 💖
I’ve been watching your channel since you were in high school and I feel like we’ve grown up together and went through similar life events at the same time so it’s been lovely following all the fun things you’ve got up to over the years! Seeing your growth in confidence as a person has been so sweet too! Please keep doing what you’re doing 💐💓
Okinawa's stunning beaches and rich cultural heritage are calling out to me! I can already imagine myself snorkeling in crystal-clear waters. On a different note, I recently completed a marathon, and the sense of achievement was incredible.
I don’t think I’ve ever had the feeling of “OMG I have to go there!” I’ve never really traveled outside of my state, but watching your videos makes me think “maybe one day” 😊
I've been watching you since your college vlogs because it was therapy watching your vlogs during my uni season. now i'm in my final year, grinding for my final year project. it's been a wonderful journey watching your vlogs because I feel like we're growing together 🥹🫶🏻

Half my family lives in Japan, and the area they live in near Tokyo is like a second home to me. This video made me so nostalgic for the tiny restaurants of cheap and delicious food and never ending stationary stores and the beauty of the local life. I hope to visit again soon❤
I've never been to Japan, but I feel like watching this video somehow gave me a sweet tiny little taste of it and got me more and more motivated to take a deep breath, pack my bags and get on a plane, I swear! Oh, and visiting Studio Ghibli? I'd be dreaming awake. Thank you for always sharing these sweet tiny little things with us, Linh!
can't wait for the Japan diaries! I'm actually going to Japan with a friend a couple months from now, and I'm definitely most excited to see the Ghibli Museum! It's been one of my absolute favorite animation studios for so long and I've been collecting ungodly amounts of merch, haha! It gives me jitters just thinking about it! seeing everything you brought home makes me so excited to look for my own amazing souvenirs and gifts
I'm watching this and it feels so nostalgic, I started watching you when I was still in college and now I have my first job as a biologist. Greetings from Chile :)
Girl I followed you since you were in high school and now you are graduating 😭. Well My favorite thing in japan are the shrines, they are filled with so much culture
Hi linh! As always, i loved your video. It’s so weird to think how much you’ve grown and changed. I watched you back when you rearranged your bedroom and put up a new bed, and now you’re living in Washington and living your best life travelling the world! Japan!!! Crazy!!! I really do feel like you’re more than a content creator, you’ve become a friend to your viewers. So yeah, I’m grateful to be a part of these corner of TH-cam. Japan has always been a place I’ve wanted to live since i was a kid, Kyoto especially. It has such a rich history and seems like such a calming place, as well as incredibly beautiful. Obviously I’d love to visit Tokyo as I’m a big anime fan!! Anyway, thanks for always being a joy to watch, i started watching you when i was 14 and now I’m 18, it’s crazy how time flies. With love Lily (pun intended) ❤
I still can’t believe that I actually got to meet you at a concert, I also absolutely can’t believe how awkward I was and how sweet you were 😂. I think the stars perfectly aligned with me finding your channel right after I got my job in DC. Seeing your videos made the move from Europe less daunting. Plus, all of the great things, from daring to try out more creative hobbies to focusing on rest. It’s wild how much of a positive impact you have had on my life. Just a big thank you 💛
