Solo to Japan's Nuclear Wasteland ☢️ Inside Fukushima 

Last video from Ireland to Japan- love and appreciate every single one of you who have supported the videos in any way. This has been a once in a lifetime opportunity and I couldn't have done it without the support of my patrons or ppl sending me a few bucks on PayPal or whatever. But even if you've just watched the vids and shared it with your friends, you've made a huge difference. I filmed this video when I still had like 4,000 subscribers, so to see how far the channel has come in just a few months is really... I don't even know how to put it into words. Just a dream come true. I was dead broke when I was in Japan and now I'm making a living doing what ive always dreamed of. Kinda rambling now but I just really appreciate and love you guys. Till next time 🫡

going there without a proper guide is the dumbest and smartest move at the same time. love your content, keep it up.

I accidentally found your channel in RU-vid recommendations, 3 days have passed since then and I have watched 2 years of your work. I'm just a teenager from southern Ukraine, I don't know what the future holds for me, but your channel was in any way very inspirational for me, and I'm very thankful for that. I really hope you will continue your journey around the earth, there is always a lot more to see. Bon voyage and safe travels.

Thank you for being so kind and polite to Japanese people, we've had a stream of idiot vloggers around here lately giving a bad name to foreigners, although it seems that Japanese authorities have had enough of these troublemakers and are cracking down on them, praise be to them for it.

As a person who regularly explores abandoned buildings throughout Detroit, one thing you're missing (and it's relatively important) is a face mask in these dusty environments That dust is exactly what you DO NOT want to breath in Like that house you were in and you wiped off the dust throwing it into the air, boy... that's exactly what you do not want to do in area with radiation contamination

As an introvert, I live vicariously through your videos. I love your content, bro. It gives me anxiety, and I love it. I envy you 😄

Out of all the RU-vidrs who do this type of content, you are my absolute favorite! I've been binging on your videos and it has been amazing. I rarely ever comment on videos, but I just wanted to say that!

I was in Sendai during Operation Tomodachi. I was one of thousands of US Marines that helped with the SAR and relief efforts. It was absolutely devastating, I will never forget those few months.

I am a grown ass settled down married man with a salaried job and a steady life. Your trip is everything I wish I had done when I was your age, and it has inspired me to demand full remote work at my job so I can travel full time. Maybe not as hectic as I keep working, but the usual barrier to world travel is money how can I complain that I have to work and schedule movement around internet access? Please keep making this wonderful content.

DONT STOP MAKING VIDEOS!!!! I watch a lot of travel RU-vidrs and you’re by far my favorite and by far the most genuine.

Your videos are epic mate, hope you keep getting to travel the world and film for RU-vid!🤝🏼

The extra food you got from that truck made me think about how every Japanese e-bay seller I bought something from has thrown in little extras as a gift, Japanese people are awesome for doing that

I love Japan and its people. The cleanliness of their cities is a reflection and pride they take in their communities and themselves. Can't say much, or about India. I watched your video on Pakistan and the people you met, it blew me away. A worthy trip.

In mid-November I came down with the Flu, and was unable to work. While I was bedridden for a few days, the RU-vid algorithm introduced me to your content. I proceeded to binge watch every piece of content that you produced in the last year and a half. I've even watched some of my favorite episodes 2 or 3 times already. I can't get enough. Your videos perfectly encapsulate the feeling of wanderlust. These videos ignite the urge in myself that wants to buy a ticket to a country who's language I do not speak, just to see where I end up, to see who I end up meeting, and see what kind of once-in-a-lifetime experiences I end up having. Conner, you're a fantastic presenter. Outgoing, funny, witty, friendly, and best of all; small-brained and willfully ignorant in the best ways. I wish I could have a beer with you! Your editing is funny, the memes, the fake translations, etc. When you watch Small Brained American, you might not learn of the elaborate, vibrant history of the Seven Wonders of the World, however, you WILL learn of the indelible, hospitable spirit of humans around the world. These videos and your experiences are so charming and fun to watch. Since I've finished them all, I'm absolutely ITCHING for new content all the time. This video was fantastic. Can't wait to see what the future brings for you, Conner! - Cody, MT.

Enjoy your break bro you deserve it. But don’t forget that you bring something so raw and fresh that big content creators lack. You bring forth real time exploration and emotion that is so lacking these days. It’s just genuinely you. You who are so respectful, curious, humorous, and consistently in awe. You encapsulate all of our own thirst for adventure. Idk how you appeared in my algorithm but I’m so glad you did! I don’t comment on videos but you need to come back and further quench your curiosity soon - whatever it may be, it will be fulfilling and wouldn’t hurt if you brought us along.

A friend and I took a tab and watched your adventures for hours yesterday, lol. Thanks for riding it out with us, Conner.

man all the people you meet in this video are super happy and awesome. This makes me wanna go there so much.

Finally .. A RU-vid traveller dude with no sensationalism, no clickbait, no b.......t. I'm subbed. Brilliant. Love your channel mate. ❤

Was introduced to your videos just this last week and I have been binging ever since. I'm glad I get to see the tail end of your journey. I'll be traveling out of the country with some friends next year and watching these vids made me all the more excited.

Deat Small Brained American. I have been viewing all of your videos from your start until now. I was wondering when your next episode would come out, and here it is, the final one. As a person that has been living in Japan for 5 years, this episode almost brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for having the balls to show these things to us. Also, I know that your journey is over, and it must have been the adventure of a life time. Not many people show us the world in such a down to earth way as you do, and I hope that this is just the first journey of many that you share with us. May Odins blessing be upon you on your future travels, and may your videos never be bigger than any of our brains may comprehend. Love.

ending this amazing series with the camera pointed toward the "Together" sign was cool. Also, im really inspired by how easily you can strike up a conversation with random people, its given me a different view on how to treat social situations since I am very introverted. Thanks for these videos, ill definitely be here whenever you decide to upload next.

Hey man, just want to say I loved your journey so far from India to Burma and so on, keep up the amazing work!

This was incredible, just surreal to see a world left on pause. Respect for going in and showing this off to the world. Keep up the great work and take care of yourself, all the best!

Love this channel! Found it about a month ago and have now watched every one of your videos. Keep up the good work Conner!

Hey man been watching your videos since 25k or so subs and just wanted to say its awesome seeing the growth of your channel its well warranted. I loved the Japan vlogs and you've inspired to me to make the trip next year to see the beautiful country!

Legit made for me, I binge on stuff like this, I can't stop myself.

Your videos are genuinely so calming and fun to watch I’m so glad I found your channel keep up the amazing content!!!

I've watched through a lot of the series and I must say I really enjoyed your content in Japan. A Small Brained American in Japan is a series that i would keep coming back for. Congratulations on completing the trip, what a great series!

Hey man, I just wanna say you are the most authentic travel vlogger. I thoroughly enjoy your bare adventures with you. I am an economist here for the Federal government and in New York. Your travels have truly taken me back to my childhood corners in various parts of the world. Keep doing what you do man

All of your videos are great, but I especially enjoyed your videos from India and Myanmar. You really put yourself out there and got a more in-depth experience than the regular tourist. You did a great job highlighting the character of the people and some of the drastic differences in culture

this is the second video of yours I have watched and I really enjoy the way you show the places you visit. alot of travel vloggers try to show places in a certain way. it feels like you just show them how they are.

Recently found your channel and I love the videos. I can’t wait for more. Great work, very raw and genuine.

Amazing content, you definitely will have a future on RU-vid with this kind of content, great work🙌🏻

Incredible journey man can't wait to see what's next!

Just found your channel a couple of days ago and have been binge watching your videos ever since. Your travel videos are so entertaining and great! I love your channel so much and I truly love how respectful you are to everyone in every country you go to. Keep up the great work and safe travels!❤

Been binging your channel i just found you and you are officially my new favorite. Love it when you go to places nobody would ever dare go

take a shot everytime he says wow dude

You really need more recognition. Your content really just makes me want to travel the whole world. Unfortunately I cant, but watching your videos always makes me feel like i am!

This channel is criminally underrated, I watched all of your videos. Keep going man!!

Recently came across your channel as one of your other Japan videos was in my feed, not ashamed to admit I've binged most of your videos from the past two years. You're a genuinely hilarious person without even trying, I love how you say what you think and the crazy adventures it brings you on. I can't recall the last time I've commented on a video, and in the off-chance you read this, I just want you to know that you're awesome and I hope our paths cross someday, I'd be glad to buy you a pint!

I really hope it will become your full-time thing man. Hope you get to visit some other exotic places and make more videos. All the best from Poland.

28:00 to 30:00 is the most honest peek inside the real Japan that one can get. Raise an issue, and quite literally everyone gathers round to figure out this foreign issue (literally, lol) that was not accounted for in any training manual or senpai-led OJT.

Came across ur channel a few days ago, man never been so happy to find such an entertaining and simple travel creator, been backtracking and watching all ur previous videos while I wait for more :) Keep it up 🎉

Truly hope you keep making videos. Love your content and non-fake attitude about things you come across or the people you meet.

Man your Japanese is so good! You really know how to communicate with the locals.

Hey Conner! I found your channel from the Shinkansen video and I can't stop watching your stuff! I started watching all your videos from the start of your channel (I've never done that for any other channel before) and yesterday I watched the one you made in the Smoky Mountains. You made a joke about only having 150 subs at that point and it blew me away. Congrats man. As a professional editor for a couple RU-vidrs it's inspirational to see your story. All the time and work you put into this is finally paying off. Can't wait to see where you go next!

I remember that day like it was yesterday. I lived in saitama. I was in preschool, riding a unicycle outside of the field at my school, and the ground started shaking. We came back home, some windows were shattered and everything was on the floor. It was a very scary day. But being 6, I didn’t realize how badly this earthquake impacted Japan. And I never bothered to research later on. Now I’m 19, live in the U.S. and am still learning what happened that day and how it changed Japan forever. Thank you for making this video and showing this town.

Man, your channel is such a gem! keep it up! you deserve millions of subs and views and I'm sure you'll get there! RU-vid just recommended this to me and I've binged all of your Japan videos. Good luck and all the best!

Loved the video! This was so interesting and so cool to see!! ❤

Wow your channel needs more recognition! Your videos are absolutely amazing. I’m a senior in high school and I wanted to travel in the us (I am from NY and want to go west), this is very inspiring to me and I am sure it is to many others. Love ya 🙏🏼🙃

i've been following you for a while now , binge watched all your videos, gotta say your edits and comments are very funny your content is underrated, keep it up dude, i hope your next adventure be in Morocco, i'm sure you will love it here.

44:00 such a clean rx-8 so jealous.. btw just found your channel recently such a breath of fresh air from all the shorter form low effort stuff i e been watching love the vlogs feels pretty personal and engaging even for the length looking forward to the next upload c:

Thanks for inspiring me to pursue more exotic travels. Thanks to your videos and especially the ones from Iraq, I have now booked a 2-week trip next year to Iraq. All the best and hopefully you will travel more in the future and make more awesome videos.

thank you Conner your videos are always very grounding, you have a free spirit and an attitude others should strive to have

I think I’ve finally finished by binge watching of your channel and now i want more!! The algorithm gifted me your channel two days ago and I’m in awe! I hope you have a new adventure planned for yourself very soon!

How dare you sir! I am a bath towel enthusiast.

Love you man I just got notifications??

Love your videos! Always interesting and your sense of humor is perfect.

Sick video man, stoked to see your channel blowing up, long overdue.

I was in Tokyo for the earthquake, so I didn't realize that places in Fukushima are still abandoned like this. Thanks for this video. Some timestamps: 16:20 Stickers that state that fire alarms are installed (Mainly so that door to door salesmen don't try to scam people into buying them presumably) 17:14 The frame on the floor is some sort of award or license that they were given 18:55 The wooden board in the back likely lists the historical names of people either who worked or were the head of the fire station 19:00 The binders say 庶務綴, so administrative files 21:58 The sign says 防犯連絡所 so like "neighborhood crime watch" sort of deal 24:48 They had some leftovers that didn't sell 29:49 You were probably the most interesting thing they saw that day, instead of staring at documents they probably just wanted to see what's up

i’ve been deep diving into your content recently. as someone that is currently living in okinawa, japan, this is a huge insight and makes me even more excited to start traveling across more countries and continents. -a girl from atl georgia, currently living in okinawa

Found you a week ago and so, so glad I got to be here for the end of your journey. Cheers!

Love your videos man. You’re my favorite travel vlogger by far. Hope you keep making videos even when you’re back home. Cheers from New Zealand 🍻

man this was amazing to watch! the videos of you in ireland at the beginning makes me want to do this so bad. all the videos do but i think it was just where you were starting out at a hostel type thing and the way all you guys were partying and talking it was just really cool and made me want to get out and have adventures. best of luck in what you decide to do now

Dude I'm 24, married, and get so so so much enjoyment from your videos! You're doing everything I wish I could've done before settling down at 19. Rock on and keep making videos!!!

I think you should consider doing more videos. You have gained a shit ton of followers in such a short time. Imagine what u can do! Love frm canada 🇨🇦 g!

Japanese people are so kind.

it's funny I'm watching these at random but every one of your videos is so entertaining. I love how you capture the realness of life in these countries and there's not filter. Glad to see you are gaining popularity! Can't wait to see your next adventures!
