A beautiful wrap up to 2022 - a spontaneous trip to Sado Island, a quiet island off the coast of Niigata City in Japan where I stayed in a 100 year old Airbnb. I felt so free and happy. It was nothing short of amazing.

Came across your video while I was mindlessly scrolling through TikTok and got curious about your trip. Just finished watching your video and you've got a new subscriber!

[@ksycreate]

I'm crying with you saying goodbye to Erina. Such a ladyu

[@shawneydepp]

:’)

[@AikenChiaMing]

IM WATCHING YOU EAT SNOW CRABS AT 2AM AND Im jealous 😢 hahahahaha loving your travelogues man. You inspire me to travel solo again!!!

[@shawneydepp]

SORRY NOT SORRY 😎 thanks Aiken! Solo trips ftw ✌🏻

[@lidna82]

Thanks to your video, everyone knows about Sado Island. Educational and mesmerizing (not often these 2 words come together).

[@shawneydepp]

They’d definitely love to have more visitors 👌🏻

[@nikkop]

Damn. Just at the beginning of the video, and that "light meal" is making me want to come back already. Hahahaha. Great stuff, bro!!

[@shawneydepp]

Ikr totally love japanese set meals

[@williamvinct]

Thats totally a lot of space with nature =))

[@shawneydepp]

And very much less humans

[@tangt4860]

You've nailed it and the whole vlog can really beat many international vloggers in terms of content and presentation. Sado is really boring by even Tokyoites standards and many of them had tried to showcase it for the local tourism office but somehow sat through watching your whole clip.

[@shawneydepp]

Man, really appreciate this 🙏🏻 yea I could imagine it to be boring for some, the pace of life is dramatically slower at Sado. Thanks for sitting through this!

[@BayleQuek]

Thank you for showing us what it’s like to take the road less traveled

[@shawneydepp]

Hope to uncover more hidden gems 🤙🏻

[@quentinkoh6340]

Hi Shawne, what camera are you using when you were filming at around 12:20? You placed the cam on the side view mirror?

[@shawneydepp]

Hey I used the insta360 x3 and clamped it on the side mirror

[@beckspace]

Another quality vlog ,deserve more views, you must put the sneak peek in tiktok. It might garnered some views

[@shawneydepp]

I have the highlights on tiktok and it did pretty well!

[@yusufertabak]

Hey shawn, do you reach out to these airbnbs and "trade" content for your stays? or do you still pay them... if you dont mind me asking!

[@shawneydepp]

Nope I pay them fully. Most of these trips are crazy spontaneous so I don’t have time to write in and wait for a response

[@yusufertabak]

@@shawneydepp oh my god my pockets hurt hearing that 😂

[@dexterpang2663]

“Bye bye my son” 😭😭😭😭

[@shawneydepp]

I’m not crying 😭

[@Mel-kv6py]

I need to eat the crab

[@shawneydepp]

Slurrrrrps
