I bought a one way Ticket to South Africa | feeling whole & held

[@lehlohonolodhlamini6681]

Oh my goodness! I'm South African and I've been following your journey for years!!! I'm so excited

[@kierasteffen]

Same!! 🥹

[@loenatoen]

Same 🥹❤️

[@ayandamokwana]

Feels like a long lost friends has finally come.

[@anele273]

I'm so shocked she's coming this side!

[@NormaYoung]

Same, same, same! So excited. Then if Isabel comes to South Africa to visit her, it will be so so so awesome! Though I’m in JHB not CT so unlikely to run into her anywhere. :(

[@ladadad]

"All of my meals are mere vessels to hold... Sauerkraut." - I laughed so honestly at this! I love that it sounded like a deep message was incoming and then it was just something so grounded and mundanely beautiful :)) (8:00)

[@sarawatson8756]

haha i thought the same thing!

[@F4R4DISE]

Omg I just commented the exact same 💞 love when we all notice the same things cs were all sharing this experience of humaning ahhh 💫🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[@TayCoverdale]

Hahahahaha same so accurate though

[@prizzle]

The way Hitomi will go on the most profound “rant” ever that literally changes my entire perspective on life then end with “Anyways!” will never not be funny to me. You are literally the most beautiful person and soul I have ever seen ! It feels like the freer you allow yourself to be, the more beautiful you look? Happiness looks so good on you! Thank you for the new video, this one was very movie like❤

[@LowSlungBadBitch]

There is a meme about people who do that, it is so funny and cute

[@eiwenyas]

Haha, yeah. Btw happiness and freedom looks good on anybody! We are all beautiful unique souls. It's just that some of us struggle to be aware enough to explore that reality more deeply. At the end of the day, it's okay to struggle tho. Noone is perfect.

[@Mei-wg4tj]

"Happiness looks so good on you" i like that saying!!

[@jnb-iv6zu]

I found your channel 8 years ago! I was 13. Honestly i cant remember how cinematic your videos were i just fell in love with your strength and love and your videos, even if they were choppy and vlog style, changed the course of my life because i probably would not have made it though what i was going through without your single source of light, comfort, and familiarity on youtube. Im glad to know you in any capacity hitomi, thank you for showing up in all of the ways you have.

[@Letters2indigo]

I love you

[@jnb-iv6zu]

@@Letters2indigo aw :) love to u too ✌️❤

[@seorin__]

yes her old videos are my favorite 🥺i hope she knows how much she truly changes people’s lives

[@Grannymodu]

Can I just say I love when some of your clips are slightly awkward, that's part of the beauty of being human. With all the perfectly captured images you take to share with us it is so grounding to see the awkwardness, it magnifies the beauty.

[@lukanyombanga4263]

I'm from South Africa, and I've been praying for the day you'd make it over to my country. I'm so proud and so happy. I really hope you visit again. Thank you for your sharing your beautiful and inspiring life Hitomi. Your videos make me fall in love with the world and myself all each time and all over again.

[@brianburlage4104]

Hitomi, you are a wonderful spiritual teacher, and we are grateful to have you in the world!

[@joe-f2c9f]

It’s been so wonderful to see you open up to friendships with men. As a trans guy who watches your videos and had very similar experiences fearing men, it has been a balm to my soul to meet genuine, earnest men I could be myself around. I would love to see a video of you in conversation with male friends about breaking that gendered barrier between y’all and what it brings to your life 🥰

[@Nia-f2l]

I fear them too but I would like a safe company of Bros myself as a woman but it doesn’t always end well.

[@nessbz]

You give me such emotional release that every time I start a new video of yours I almost cry! Thank you for holding this community so safely. You are a big guidance for me

[@EarthlyErin]

Your fearlessness is pouring from this video! I can feel myself drinking it all up - Thank you for consistently sharing your energy with us, Hitomi. What a gift!!

[@plantsarefriends_and_food]

I'm south African and so one excited for you to enjoy our summer and filled with rich red sunsets. You've been a inspiration for me t0oget back to myself and my simple joys and wow! ENJOY!

[@spookyj2469]

been a subscriber for a while now. sometimes i find myself getting so jealous of your travels and the ease that’s presented in your videos but then i realize that truthfully it is a reflection of the beauty i will experience if i let my heart run free and commit to my dreams as well. extending so much love and luck to you hitomi, excited for your newest endeavors this year. thank you for sharing with us, always.

[@caslianscott]

woah, i never thought as a South African that I'd watch Hitomi experience Cape Town in a vlog. This is such a beautiful vlog as always! I feel closer to myself and my dreams. Thank you for inspiring me and creating a homely vibe through honesty and vulnerability. Sending love and safe future travels

[@GenerateThickMommies]

what a dream come true

[@_ajaperry]

ok this is my favorite video of yours and one i deeply resonated with in so many levels. it’s in this surrender and curiosity that we are truly free. i’m so happy for you and grateful for your poetic sharing of your journey.

[@shima_bear]

Thank you Hitomi :) can you pls make a video on how you move your whole life so often and how you stay grounded while travelling? perhaps some thoughts on attachment to your material things and how you prioritize what comes with you on your travels 🙏🏼🥺

[@amandatorres8283]

Now this is how you know when someone LOVES what they do, i´m grateful for you and the peace and motivation you give me, everytime I watch your videos i come out feeling whole and happy from within, thank youuuuu.

[@ayandamokwana]

It’s insane that you’re in my country. So so excited, hoping you have the best experiences!

[@NormaYoung]

Ayanda, it’s so cool. Have watched videos of her in so many different places like India and Portugal and NYC and now she’s on our home turf! I hope she has an absolutely fabulous time here!

[@khushioo]

The world feels so much beautiful and calm when people like you exists . thank you for being born in this beautiful yet cruel world 💖🪬hitomi I'm really growing with your videos. Thank you from bottom of my heart ❤️

[@renee5335]

I was literally thinking about wanting to travel to and experience beautiful South Africa and then I open KZbin and see your video. you’re my soul sister hitomi I’m sure of it

[@GenerateThickMommies]

they're just takin care of business as usual , another season People by standing, one person saying something, not her brother, the only person standing up

[@seorin__]

i just love seeing you evolve and become your most embodied self. i remember your old videos and seeing you grow like this makes me feel like we're evolving together which we all are! i'm so happy i found you on the internet. you're one of the best people to follow. seeing you thrive excites me so much. i love u earth angel 🤎🧚‍♀️🌿

[@Neema825]

Hitomi, these are some breath taking scenes. I love when you were both on the top of the mountain and even journaling in nature. Keep doing more videos, it is beautiful and healing for many. Your content does make a difference in the lives of your viewers.

[@laurenmcclean5429]

Hitomi when you spoke about your skin it really hit home for me. I have been watching you for years and followed your journey and it has been so so helpful to me. I have had acne for years and have felt exactly as you said, with fear I was burdening others with my skin, but in actuality it has always just been something I have used to prevent me from loving myself fully. Thank you for speaking out, I know you always have and it is inspiring for people like me who have troubled skin. Luv u girl!!

[@julias8629]

So so wholesome! I feel like you have become 100% you now, you seem so secure and confident within yourself and transmit even more groundedness and calm! Love it ❤would love to hear more about your fave movies, books and poetry :)

[@simmythefairy_]

PLEASE DO !!

[@HitomiMochizuki222]

Omg I would love to!! How should I organize it tho and make sure it’s safe? I’ve done a handful of meetups in the past where I just post on IG, but as I’ve gotten older I realize how risky that can be, with no screening process type of thing

[@auroraborealisrose]

@@HitomiMochizuki222 Maybe post a link to a survey and have people fill in their social media handles, only have likeeee 10 spots or something, and just look through the people who have responded. Only public accounts, so you can go through their feed and pick up on their energy. Maybe it’s a bit selective, but you get to be to protect yourself.

[@olivialivv5566]

Yass please 🥹 though some of us are at Joburg but I’ll definitely travel the world 😹 in future will meet you at my Own divine timing 🥰

[@GenerateThickMommies]

SHES NOT SUPPOSED TO SET THAT UP FOR YOU

[@Odadkt]

I'm so excited that you're in Cape Town. My dad and I are visiting my sister there in March, and it's just such a random and wonderful opportunity that I'm so happy for. Would love to see more videos of you there. If not, just wanna say that I appreciate your videos so much -- and just thank you for being you.

[@victoriahrose]

What are the books you listen to while walking? I am trying to be more conscious of the media I take in this year and I love your outlook on life as I want to implement more peace, simplicity, and awareness. Some video ideas: talking about your own goals for the year, how you have healed the relationship with the masculine. This has been my favorite video of yours so far 🤍 hopefully one day we can meet

[@edenelias2at]

Hitomi your cinematography is amazing, and so is your beautiful poetic soul. Thank YOU for being here❤❤❤

[@healingwitholly]

these earthy girl diaries are so life giving!!! so endlessly inspired by your words, storytelling, revelations, and journey overall. you invoke the fearlessness in so many of us. i left the US for the first time last year and did a yoga teacher training in India, largely because of you. thank you for being, sharing, and embodying the Divine transformation and multidimensional alchemy ✨ you are such an ethereal creator and i am so grateful for your existence!!! much love💌 ~ holly

[@J.0.E.]

Good to see you healing. Glad you can actually have guy friends and the friends you have are genuine. I wish you nothing but happiness. Thank you for the joy your videos have given me. Keep shining bright!

[@glittergirl2547]

i love your writing and i am excited to continue being a witness to your growth

[@kichiaraik]

Hitomi! This video was absolutely fenomenal. It felt so intimate, so familiar, so inspiring. I have been going through a phase in my life where hanging around in nature is truly impossible and seeing you have so much fun on our Earth felt so refreshing and emotional. I found myself smiling at the screen and regaining that familiar warmth in my chest i have not felt in a long time. Thank you hitomi, truly. Never stop being so spontaneous and so... you. Love from Italy ❤️

[@gabrielalahera1709]

Dude I'm so glad you are on the internet. I couldn't but thank you for being here. I feel seen.

[@dominoaura]

I just rediscovered you a couple of days ago, and to see how you bloomed into your core and spirit since watching you 7 years ago is pure grace and peace. Vulnerability looks great on you. I wish we all will try it on at some stage of our growth.

[@TayCoverdale]

I truly cannot wait for you to expand on these skills you’ve developed! This was one of my favorite videos to watch, truly felt like a movie ❤

Oh my goodness!! When I saw that you came to Cape Town, I felt my spirit just shift into a positive space. I've watched your videos since I was 14 (I'm 17 btw) and I felt so close to your message even though I lived half-way across the world. So to have you come to SA, just feels so surreal. I hope you come to love my country despite all it's flaws...the way I do.

[@moniquesimone1111]

Hitomi YESSSSS!!! I see the elevation and evolution. This year is your year. I can see you starting to play around with drones in the future. Your videography is already so beautiful, I can only imagine what it’s about to be like with these new tricks you’re learning. More vlogs please!!! Longer ones at that ☺️🪷🤲🏾✨

I'm also on a journey of learning film-making, so this was so inspiring! been looking for a resouce like Kolder Creative for a while, so this video felt like a sacred synchronicity. thank u!

[@madd857]

So beautiful! I'd love to see a video about keeping peace from the inside out. I feel like nature and quiet spaces are so fulfilling and calm, but to be able to stay calm and grounded during a hard but necessary 9-5, when your neighbor's dog won't stop barking, when waiting in line at a noisy bustling grocery store where everyone seems so angry.. to be able to summon a steady inner peace throughout all of it.

[@savannaleehodgkinson189]

The introduction to this video pierced my heart with tenderness and I felt on the brink of tears. That happened again in the middle and at the end. Hitomi you are such a beautiful human. Your guidance has been so touching and truthful and it is continuously feeling like you are on the cusp of understanding and indefinite expansion. I dont even know what I am trying to say but your videos have become increasingly holy to me. You are a light. Thank you for continuing to share and I cant wait to watch more!

[@annabelbernal7419]

i love who you are! maybe a video on how to let others love you and how to love them while also keeping up with yourself (friends wise?). i feel like a lot of people (myself included) have lost touch with being okay with the awkwardness of new friends, or grew up in a world where we forgot how to even maintain friendships. how do you do it, how do you have so many friends in different places?

[@lovagirl7777]

The intro had me in tears because I feel the EXACT same way but with time to pretend. Ig because of salt burn I’ve been hearing it everywhere and my friend played it on new years which was so nostalgic and I couldn’t believe it because I realized I had the life I had always imagined while listening to the song. You and your videos inspire me so much

Hey thank you for this video :) I have a video suggestion : could you talk about long distance friendships ? and how to maintain them, especially when sometimes you don't feel like you are resting at the same place as the other?
