What You Don't Know About Me

This is a Q&A all about me, Paolo from Tokyo. I often get asked questions about work, job, moving to japan, life in Tokyo, wife, nationality, ethnicity, university and much more so I wanted to spend some time in this video and answer all of the questions. Also, I wanted to provide some channel updates on where we are going in the future. Most importantly I wanted to say Thank you to all my subscribers for all the support over the last couple years. This channel would not be as big as it is without all of you. So what better way to thank you but to share some stories about me that I normally don't get to share with you in my Japan guides.

Can't believe you're at almost 600k subs now. Last April in 2018, I took a trip out to Tokyo and found your channel which then had less than 60k subs. I was sitting there absolutely jaw dropped in terms of how absolutely great your content was. The combination with the hand drawn maps by Maiko was just the cherry on top. Really glad to see you getting the recognition you deserve and also really glad that you are letting us get a tiny glimpse into who Paolo is outside of his "guide" personality. Keep up the great work and much love goes out to you and Maiko as you guys embark upon a chapter of your life that neither of you probably ever even fathomed!

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

Yeah, it's been a crazy ride. I wouldn't be here without all of your support!

[@winstonyap1856]

I absolutely love the maps. I come from a spatial planning background and it really suits its intended purposes: conveying information without fluff.

[@zsazsazsusy]

I totally agree with you. When I first started watching Paolo's videos, he had less than 100k subscribers. I knew his channel would grow so big cuz I could see he put so much effort and time into every video. All the videos were so interesting to watch. I was worried how he can keep up with these videos without viewers. Now I'm so happy your channel is growing!!!

[@Class78]

Wow this is the perfect channel for me! I lived in Tokyo when I was 5-8 years old, and have so many vivid memories of Japan. I lived in Minato-ku, Nishihara-cho. I remember walking or riding my bike down to the machi to buy candy or books. i remember the hot potato salesman, yelling "Oyaki-mo!" as he pushed his little cart. So many senses are piqued when I think of Japan. Rode the bus to the American School. Anyway ... I also ended up living in Manila from 14-18. I could write a book about living in the Philippines. So your experiences are so meaningful for me! We kids who grew up living in different cultures call our selves Third Culture Kids (not our parents' culture, not part of where we live culture, we are our own, "third" culture). Just wanted to say "hello".

Hi Paolo, I'm Sheryll from California. I love to travel. I just came back home in the US a few days ago from visiting my friends in Japan. We went to Osaka, Kyoto, Takayama, Ainokura, Shirakawago, Nagoya, Saitama and Tokyo. I did some extensive research about Japan before I went. As I was doing that, I came about your channel and you are my favorite vlogger in youtube when it comes to Japan. You were part of my trip as I kept on mentioning your name to my friend whenever we encountered something in your video...Paolo did that or Paolo said that. You were like a friend to us. I was hoping to see you in Tokyo after all it's a small, small world. It didn't happen. Probably on my next visit. Congratulations on your channel and more blessings to you and Maiko!

Well done Paolo. I must say it's a rare treat to see someone be totally genuine. I wish you and Maiko nothing but success.

Hey Paolo! Thank you so much for this video! I've always been curious about how you started you KZbin channel ever since I saw your video about top 10 things to do in Shibuya. My girlfriend and I watched this video before we went to Japan and it was indeed very helpful! And my girlfriend was the one who recommened me start a channel about Korean culture and language since she knew I loved talking about it with my friends. So you are my inspiration, and motivate me to become fun and educational channel about Korea in my case! Thank you for creating such useful contents online and I wish you luck in your KZbin career now that you decided to go in full time:) P.S- I really resonated with you on the part about how you started teaching, started your own company, and being financial advisor has helped you get to where you are. I feel as most people only care about the successes but the truly important ones are the experiences that you did not necessarily succeeded but you learn from them. Just wanted to tell you

Hey man. Your videos are inspiring and as a fellow filipino, it makes me proud to see someone born in the ph succeeding abroad. Although you are as much american as you are japanese now, it still is a good feeling to know a filipino is helping out a lot of people wanting to know more about japan and its wonderful culture. Would love to travel to japan one of these days. Keep up the quality contents bro and good luck to your youtube career. Its no longer a matter of luck but just a matter of time before you go big internationally.

Your Tokyo origin story is amazing! From university to making an app, your story is so inspiring!

[@rusenakman]

Damn I got emotional too, I'm glad I subscribe this channel even more now. Best wishes!

[@usamahijazi9499]

I dont know what I would have done without paolo's videos when I went solo travelling to japan. you the man paolo!

[@thisisbabyboss]

oh my! yes!!! i can relate!!!!

[@jamesryberg3120]

hey paolo, I finally made it to japan and I planned my visit almost exclusively by watching your videos. I've dreamed for years of visiting my brother and his family in hachioji, and you were a huge help in finding fun activities even he didnt know about, and hes lived in japan for 8 years. Thank you so much for your content!

Man. That snowboard incident hit me hard. Live it up man! Glad you're here today.

[@PaolofromTOKYO]

I hope you live it up as well!!!

[@lenne1224]

When you got emotional talking about Maiko, it made me cry! I’m glad you both found each other. P.S. I’m from the Seattle area too!

[@Avulet]

Honestly so inspirational, it makes me really believe you can change careers and experiment with different experiences if you just take a chance and let go.

[@eileen635]

❤❤❤you have a beautiful family. I’m so glad that you’re living your dreams

[@angelalin4672]

I've been watching your videos for a while and always thought they were great, but this video really made me appreciate your channel on a whole new level! Keep up the good work and I would love to hear more of your stories with Maiko :)

[@Theophilus388]

Wow. Watching this in Jan 2023. I love your story Paolo. So inspiring. I'm a Filipina rooting for you. You're still a kababayan.

[@theWynn3]

Love this! I remember finding your channel when I was looking for hotel reviews for places in Boracay. It helped me out a lot on choosing where to stay. Since then, been a fan of your content. I hope I can go to Tokyo one day and use your videos on knowing what places to go.

[@wellsen7253]

Why don't you try to start writing a book. Make a small team or finding an author for helping you with all words on paper. You are so inspirational, you did great job!! 😇

[@gaiusjuliuspleaser]

Why didn't you sell Eikawa Now instead of shutting it down?

Jeez when did you took this vid? Its soo cold outside here haha From fukuoka

[@gily3344]

Keep up with the good content and the recommendations, I've recently traveled and enjoyed many of the pinned spots on your videos. The most I enjoyed was Kichijoji that I went there only because you mentioned it and it was on the way to the Ghibli museum and I was able to convince my mate to make a small detour and look around, we ended up spending there 2 days not having enough. I think large parts of Tokyo are left undiscovered and it is a shame because the center of the city is jam-packed with visitors having the impression the city is way over touristic- spots like Harajuku, Ueno, Shinjuku, and Asakusa are becoming too crowded and someone needs to show the tourists there is much more to see in Tokyo beyond the Yamanote circle. Please explore further spots in this amazing Metropolis, other channels are doing so across the country and you find about spots in Tohoku, Shikoku, the sea of Japan coast and this is great because over touristic places are losing their charm fairly quick and the locals are getting fed of the tourist herds, you must spread the flow in order for both sides enjoying its benefit. Stay awesome with it. Subbed.

[@tamiruchi]

Just start. just because one project 'fails' doesn't mean I can't carry forward what I learned to the next one. best life advice ever.

[@dianesimoes8943]
