you might be thinking oh my gosh she's
going on a solo trip as a woman that's
crazy I can't even eat by myself yappa
yappa no I never been like that I've
always been very independent so this was
not really Out Of Reach for me and
typically the trip never makes it out of
the group chat unfortunately and so
since there are places I really wanted
to go to I was willing to go on my own
the group does end up joining me on the
trip in Korea so you'll see that a
little bit later and yeah I hope you
really enjoy this series of Japan and
Korea Vlogs and let's get
