Seeing Japan through your experiences has been so incredible. It truly makes me want to continue learning the language and visit one day ❤

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I'm so glad you feel that way :D Thank you for watching!

[@DavidCruickshank]

I'm kinda jealous of Andy being carried around such a beautiful area and just relaxing. The dog is living a better life then me 😅

[@kashresurrected]

That Drone shot while you jump from the cliff was just soooo mind blowing. Like I always say.. You are one the most underrated vlogger and of course Japan is spectacular. Keep it up Hannah.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Gotta thank @kiharachris for that one!

[@sprinkledsunshine]

😍 The Base Camp Everest news is so exciting!!! Absolutely delighted for you Hannah, something to look forward to for you and for us 🏔️

[@Moaritsu]

There is something so pure about adults seeking out playful activities so much like swimming in rivers and jumping off cliffs. It's like your inner child is shining thru. I think it's hard to play as an adult sometimes but nature makes it easy. I'm excited to see your Everest trip! Will you be exploring Nepal or Bhutan too?

[@CurrentlyHannah]

That’s very true ☺️ Nature brings it out of us. Unfortunately I won’t have time to explore much of Nepal while I’m there this time but I wanna see as much as I can in the short time I have!

[@samanthaturner1836]

So excited for your next set of adventures!

[@Shá_doe]

Always here for the vibes and adventure. Your vids are always so pleasant.

[@mattnovotny6888]

Hannah you are one of my favorite youtubers! Been following you since your hair was green. I can't begin to say how much I enjoy your content. With 110% good vibes, no dog would choose to be vegan, despite all the "vegan" options for dogs now. It's not as healthy as a diet with meat protein. Your dog is so cute, I can tell he means a lot to you guys. Keep up the great content! You've carved out a niche for yourself and I'm here for it!

[@mattnovotny6888]

Haha, I just watched the entire video and caught your update about Andy. Poodles are awesome dogs. Hopefully, you will be a dog owner one day, it's the best. Good luck in Nepal.

[@isaacnewt-on6484]

So true, I have watched almost all your videos and it really brightens my day when you upload.

[@user-fb1wg1ey8t]

どの動画も絵面、編集が本当〜に素晴らしい!!　音楽のタイミングも最高です！

[@HereToCheers]

Oh wow we can't wait for your Taiwan and Everest videos! We really enjoy your style of film making, it's very refreshing and unique. It's very artistic, we can tell you put a lot of time into it but its still down to earth, you're a great story teller. Thanks for brining us along on this fun outing

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you! I’m super looking forward to it all!

[@GeneCVlogs]

Amazing to see these adventures.

[@seandesmond5560]

What a beautiful area Hannah!!! Looks like Andy made for a great travel companion!!!

[@ghostbird3651]

Everest Base Camp! Omg, so excited for you! ❤ I'd love to get there one day too, hopefully still in this lifetime!

[@hellshire11]

nice vid as always! especially the drone shot on your jump

[@dali_wawa]

Another great video and good job, Hannah! Looking forward to your Taiwan videos coming up soon~ Love that island and expect to see what places you're gonna check out~

[@jenjutsu313]

Loved the video 💕 wishing you all the best Hannah

[@lazyreuvin]

You had me at dog companion... amazing cinematography and editing as always. Thank you!

[@ThatOneSceneDude]

That drone shot when you jumped off the rock was awesome!

[@ofthenearfuture]

Ahh congrats on the Everest base camp trek! That's so insanely cool, I can't wait to see the adventure and you're edit, gonna to smash it! This was a fun video tho, that abandoned alley was beautiful... also Andy haha. Hope you're time in Aus is going well!

[@frasermackie19]

Mount Everest! That’s a bucket list spot for a lot of folk, well done and congrats for going for it! You guys have to be getting a lot of comments about the Jeep on your travels, it’s a beast!

[@gyanendrasharma2059]

Wow great news wish u a very good luck for upcoming trips and for base camp trek is going to be very exciting looking forwards next video 😀✌️

[@Karen_esque]

Andy is so precious! And that's so exciting you get to go to Everest!!

[@Curly3373]

So sad to hear the past months have been hard on you 😢 it so surprising as well because the quality of your content and your video editing was still on point!!! 😊 take care and congratulation on your next trip!!! ✌️💪

[@jerometsowinghuen]

Even the malls are abandoned, they leave the locals lots of memories with history, as they are perfectly preserved. Besides, very emjoyable to walk in Tenkawa (天川村), and cute dog too.

[@VerhoevenSimon]

Always lovely to see your adventures and trips, I hope you didn't hurt yourself too badly with that slipup at thew waterfall.

[@Wabi-sabiME]

This channel, the videos, amazing every single one, the amount of passion put into editing is shown in the final result, a masterpiece of a priceless value for nature/Japan lovers, every time I watch one of your videos I feel so connected and captivated by the content of it, calming and bringer of happiness 😊 indeed addictive 😀 , I got nothing then love and appreciation

[@meghanpalmer6642]

OMG!!!!! 😆 I haven’t commented in quite a while on your videos but am SO ECSTATIC for you to see Everest! Has been one of my biggest dreams to climb there as well. I am very much looking forward to the amazing video footage. Best of luck, you will kill it!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thank you!! I’ve been fascinated by the higher altitude mountain climbs for yearrrrsss now so the base camp trek is a big dream of mine. Can’t wait 😄

[@MrUser1million]

The water is stunningly clear and beautiful.

[@Setetoto]

Your videos always make me so happy and calm. Been following you since your Sumatra trek and never ever does a video dissapoint

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Oh wow, Sumatra was so long ago! Thank you for sticking around!

[@lilyoswald5461]

The camera work in this 👏🏻😍!!!

[@blancamegurine]

I'm so excited about Everest!!

[@user-kg6ys9hh3t]

I live in Nara City, but it was very refreshing to see Nara in a video like this! !

[@ashishthapa4881]

Finally, welcome in Nepal!! Looking forward to your EBC video.

[@LemifromJapan]

Thank you for the video, your video is always eyecandy🥰✨I'm excited about you going to Mt. Everest😆🏔

[@dbwatx931]

Wow, I am so excited for you!!!!!

[@kungfool69]

that was cooooooool!!! Well done for Chris to capture that rock jump with the drone! Is it common to see locals at these watering holes? Looks like an amazing time!

[@zengrath]

lol, I'm one of the 3 who watched until the end, look forward to your future videos! Good luck with Everest and stay safe!

[@galas455]

Hi Hannah, I've just gotta say that water looks cold, but fun. Nice to see you again, it's been about a year for me. I'm really, really looking forward toward your Mt. Everest video.

[@HellenAndYohei]

Amazing video as always! Watching this video, Me: typhoon sucks! haha

[@koko_outdoorlife]

Hannah welcome to Taiwan🌟🌟

[@Nynke_K]

Green water is still magical, IMHO! Where I'm from, river water is typically brown and full of sediment 😅. And yay, Everest Base Camp! Epic! I hope this also means that you're off to a few less difficult months.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

It's true, it's still pretty clean and clear water regardless of it's colour!

[@SquishyTalk]

Tenkawa village is such a nice hidden place!

[@antnguyen]

Appreciate the song titles. On the flip side, it's fun to see when some of your favorite creators use a song you've used in the past and how they've decided to frame it. Still loving your videos and have fun on your trip to basecamp! Hope the altitude doesn't get to ya!

[@costona]

Tenkawa is a nice place. I love this place too. Thanks for the nice video!

[@sumugu161]

Wow seeing you going to visit Nepal where I am from. Full excited.. thank you..😊

[@westvillage321]

amazing!

[@-DirtyShoes]

Raindrops on the sandwich press were a nice happy accident. LOVE the Jeep shots. Makes me happy to see you and Chris living your best lives! ...less slip and fallage please. Looked ouchie! And yeah...CANNOT WAIT for Everest. Serious wow!

[@John_Lilley]

Andy the dog is living his best life!

[@HeyitsBriana]

Lovely video as always :)

[@geoffreymartin3520]

that is great news about your everest trip , i would love to get back to nepal. really looking afford to seeing your nepal videos.

[@KillerTacos54]

Amazing video!!

[@jambob169]

Beautiful swimming spots, the water looks great! Andy is living his best life. He's going places and seeing things most of us can only dream of! There's another channel I watch (Sunpono) - a guy who does POV photography walks in Japan. Most of his videos are of those types of post-war market streets and shopping areas, he often includes stories of the areas history too. Definitely worth a look if you like those kinds of places, he deserves way more views than he gets.

[@avioracrown6967]

I like this kind of beautiful journey vlog from tokyo lens I watched his video from 2 years ago until now Now i would enjoy your channel too

[@dbwatx931]

Beautiful video!

[@estherjohnson9207]

Love the magnetic hooks for trash bags. Feverishly taking notes for our overland camping setup here in Thailand, inspired by yours! Also going to try broccoli for our dog Phoebe... thanks for all the fun ideas and gentle, beautifully uplifting eye candy for the soul you make.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Thanks Esther! You’re overlanding in Thailand?? That sounds like an amazing adventure 😍

[@estherjohnson9207]

​@@CurrentlyHannah This is the plan! 🥰 Strictly speaking it won't be overlanding as much as over-islanding - we have a rustic '95 Jimny (in jungle green) that we're setting up with a rooftop tent etc. for camping around Koh Samui. Being an older car it won't cover long distances, but hopefully fun for visitors to have a couple day exploration of the hills and beaches! Sincerely thanks for being the first introduction to this idea.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

@@estherjohnson9207 Oh wow that sounds like such an amazing idea! Jimney's are so cute and fun :) I love the thought of taking the Jeep to another country after Japan and continuing the travel there instead but it's hard to know which countries would be suitable ya know?

[@phillyfan01]

Sorry deleted my comment when I saw/heard he wasn't your dog :) glad he loves broccoli. so good! Your videos are so dreamy and magical. Amazing to see a side of Japan that we don't usually get to see. Thanks

[@danae5578]

Scared of heights so jumping off is all on u. The fuzzy buddy is adorable .

[@IvanFreelancer]

Andy the dog is so quiet and chill. Maybe because first time being with different people and all different places.

[@whatchuHANAdo]

You and your videos always make me want to move away from Tokyo! Hahaha Your eye of Japan is so incredibly delicious.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ah Tokyo is close to so many beautiful spots though! I didn’t take enough advantage when I lived there 😅

[@markhla427]

Dogs are the best. I have nothing more to say 🐶👍❤️👍

[@aquaarietta]

Everest???! That's so exciting! Way to just casually announce that at the end 😂

[@randolf5111]

I went to Mt.Everest basecamp few years ago and it was great, untill the big earthquake hit the camp. Luckly we left the camp an hour ago so we were fine but it took many days to go out of Nepal.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Omg you were there that day!! 😳 That must’ve been so scary!

[@AndyBravura]

Beautiful place my friend...very nature there👍🙏🏻

[@Bilalizaddin]

Really love Nara I was there once

[@bastek.]

Amaizing video my friends🙂👋👋

[@amychang6461]

NEPAL??! can't wait for that! make sure to stay safe but gdamn thats cool.

[@westvillage321]

I've been waiting!(⁠^⁠^⁠)

[@NimRocksUsername]

Neet video!

[@kurofune.uragabay]

Andy _is_ irresistibly cute, even for a cat-person like this one. Erm... is that by chance the Amano river valley? Thanks for once again skillfully capturing (and sharing) the beauty of Japan's nature, guys 🙏

[@CurrentlyHannah]

It IS the Amano river valley! Good guess haha

[@kurofune.uragabay]

Thanks Hannah. Looking forward to that Taiwan vlog 🐩

[@SilenceNate]

Have fun on the Everest Base Camp Trek, be safe.

[@dbwatx931]

Chris holding puppy like Simba in Lion King how cute!

great video. Where did you find that sandwich toaster. can't find any in the US. grew up with them in India.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

It was a present from my friend who bought it at a camping store in japan

[@inesyuberorossini9178]

Your dog Is ❤

[@andgainingspeed]

1:05 Y168 a liter is about $1.18 USD. Not historically expensive for Japan compared to a peak in 2012/3. Exchange rate is a lot different now though but still surprised it is cheaper than California bay area price. 🤔 Excited by the Everest base camp trek. 👍

[@RyanLeeBanks]

I think that everyone needs an Andy ♥

[@eddiemckee349]

So if you are headed off to the Everest Base Camp does this mean you will be passing through the famous Lukla/Tenzing-Hillary airport? If so, that will be worthy of a video all by itself! As always look forward to all of your videos!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I will be! I’m a little nervous tbh but also down for the adventure!

[@grafffuller3265]

Marie thought you had mentioned that Andy wasn't your dog, but I was at least hoping that he was...since he seemed to fit your lifestyle SO well. Was that stream bed the same one that you got that rental SUV stuck in? If not, it seemed like the same one...with all the pebbles. Your upcoming trips sound really exciting. Thanks for sharing them with us. You allow us to travel the world. We really appreciate your perspectives and how you proport yourself. Thank you.

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Ah no it’s not the same spot but it’s very close! We’ve passed the spot that we got stuck in multiple times and you can still see the big hole we dug ourselves into 😅

[@grafffuller3265]

@@CurrentlyHannah - Okay. Worth a try. We love your videos. That was quite a day...and it was memorable to us, too. Thanks for clarifying that up.

[@trailerparksocrates1898]

If I could make a suggestion... as someone who visits Japan often, it would be great to have the google map links or other location points to help us find these specific locales. Awesome stuff just the same.

[@pruchi]

That is one tough dog, taking so many "gunshots" before going down! 😂

[@CurrentlyHannah]

He is resilient for a poodle!

[@PrincessNebbia]

will sakuraco ever deliver to brasil?

[@z-mackdos6echo311]

I’m starting to notice on the people who have YT channels and dog/s that they are not typical of the type I normally see. They behave very well, they hang out just like any other person in the group. The scene where Andi was on the towels while you both were out playing in the water he/she still stayed chill on them all the while keeping an eye on you. Their personalities are almost human like and enjoy being apart of the journey. So I realize I’ve mention how I envision locations you’ve traveled to as being place a live action anime could be used as a location. That ghost town has that same vibe. There have been many storylines of a post apocalyptic time period series. That place would be ideal, and who knows by making it a popular place for location shoots might help it revive as a movie town! I’m sure you were sensing the ghosts, spirits or energy of the lives that had once lived there, and their existence lingers in the shadows of that environment. However, I wouldn’t want to be there at night, because that’s when the real ghost once more come to life. Oh here’s a thought/idea. That panini maker had a design on one side of it. You should have that design be your logo. I hope it’s replaceable, so it would be possible to do. Your editing now is so fluid as you go from the various scenes and drone footage seamlessly. Going to Taiwan is nice but the political environment is sorta sketchy. So you’re just going to the base camp in Nepal or are you actually trekking up to the crest of the mountain? Oh I think that jumping off that high cliff into the water had more to do with holding onto your camera as you went for it. Bad for your body, but great for the the footage you got from sacrificing your body, and the footage John took on the sidelines. It’s something I wish I had back when my brother’s and niece went on an over night river ride. She jumped off of a cliff similar in height, but we have no footage of her making that jump around six times, because the tech didn’t exist to capture it. I’m just left with that image of her jumping on the trip in my head with no way to download it like you have. Well not with the advancements of what is now available. But with what I’ve been seeing what Japan electronics have been coming up it. It’s just a matter of till I’ll be able to accomplish that feat.

[@LaurensTravels]

Ahh so many exciting adventures ahead!! Maybe after Everest a travel pup could join the channel? 😅 🐶

[@CurrentlyHannah]

I would love nothing more, though unfortunately if we ever plan to live in Australia in the future (which we do eventuaalllllyyyyy) it’s so difficult to bring pets into Australia 😭
