I'm a Finn, who wants to live in Japan. いつか日本に住みたい。This is word for word something I also often repeat in my mind. I'm glad your dream came true. It's very inspiring.
I can totally relate to the "safe path", I thought that I had to be like that too and not study subjects that I actually like because my parents said its not stable enough. But thanks to covid-19 I realized that I want to do things that I actually like and I graduated from vocational school recently and now I'm headed to a collage of applied sciences and going to study visual design! My dream is to be an illustrator just like you and fill spaces with my images. I haven't been able to improve my drawing skills bc of lack of confidense and the uncertainty, however I'm willing to explore and find my style and just create! I won't let my age and time stop me haha. Your vlog was so cozy and inspiring <3 Video oli mukavan kotoisa :) <3
I’m a finnish person studying Japanese and I’m overall very interested in the culture and history of Japan. I’m so happy you found Finland a place to call home❤ It’s a big change and I wish you the best of luck :D Tervetuloa!
