about me: 29-yo, born in France 🇫🇷 raised by Portuguese immigrants parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🇵🇹 I never had the chance to travel when I was younger so, as soon as I managed to save up some money, I took off 🛫 At 19yo, I moved to live for a year in Athens, Greece 🇬🇷 At 22, I moved for an internship in Miami, USA 🇺🇸 before getting another opportunity to work and study in Montreal, Canada 🇨🇦 At 24, I did my last master degree semester as an exchanged student in São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷 Fell in love with the country, got a job, and been based in Rio de Janeiro ever since. After some personal health issues, I realized life is too short not to explore the world more… I’ve always loved documenting my days (journaling, scrapbooking) and knowing the next months would be full of travels, I thought, why not vlog it? I’m sure future-me will be very happy to look back at these videos! Hope you do too ☺️

Omg thank you so much!! 🥺 I am so grateful for your support!! ❤

[@Exterminism]

Loved the video, surprised you didn’t mention exclusive items in each shop when in each location

[@storiesofmilo]

Thank you for watching and commenting! ☺️ Oh, what do you mean by exclusive items? Items that are only sold in these locations?

[@Exterminism]

@@storiesofmilo yea I was koriko cafe and I believe they had some exclusive items not sure and I was at lotte world and I park mall location and and I tried to compare all items there

[@storiesofmilo]

Ooooh I had no idea each shop had that! Do they signal it in the shops? Like « only sold here! » or you have to figure it out??

[@Exterminism]

@@storiesofmilo I had to ask the workers there

[@caitjelovesyou100]

I love the arrows and cute pointers in your video! What program do you use to edit this in and make your vlogs?:)

[@storiesofmilo]

Thank you so much Logan!! ☺️ So, I use Procreate (it's an Ipad or Iphone app - but you can just take any equivalent if you prefer android). Step by step: 1) I create a first layer ; 2) I make the background (layer 0) dark ; 3) I draw what I want ; 4) then I open the settings and select the "animate" option ; 5) a panel will appear where I can add as many "layers of animation" as I want ; 6) I simply rewrite on top of the layer 1 and because you never write the same way, it creates this "moving writing" that you notice ; 7) you can select the "animation speed" (it's usually too fast by default) ; 8) I delete the background-layer 0, leaving me only with the writing/doodle and 9) I export it as a gif ☺️ And I take the gif to the video editor... Hope that helped 😅 I followed a tutorial here on youtube so I'm sure you can find a "video" version of all of this! PS: you guys make such a cute couple!! ❤️🥺 subscribed!

[@LoganLy]

Thank you so much @@storiesofmilo for your wonderful reply! This helps so much. I subscribed to your channel as well, I can't wait to watch more of your cafe hopping vids!

[@storiesofmilo]

@@LoganLy Of course, happy to help!! ☺ Thanks for subscribing 🥺❤ More cafe hopping videos coming soon!!

I`m Japanese.I didn't know there was a Ghibli café in Korea.

[@storiesofmilo]

There are many!! ☺️ But they are not all "official" ghibli cafés... Sometimes they are just inspired! I think it's the same in Japan? ☺️

[@moshmosh3538]

Studio Ghibli has nothing to do with Korea. Koreans usually use characters of Ghibli illegally ignoring its copyright.

[@storiesofmilo]

I know! Feel free to check one of my recent Japan videos - I go to the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka, Japan ☺ As for the legality - Koriko Café uses Ghibli characters indeed, but they also have a Ghibli merch store inside their café...? I imagine Ghibli merch wouldn't send them products to sell if they were not getting something out of it!
