Embarking on a journey through Europe, Thailand, and Japan, my wife and I casually started a YouTube channel to document our travel adventures. However, upon revisiting our videos, I couldn’t help but cringe at my amateur video shooting and narration skills.

Despite my initial hesitations, I’m determined to continue our vlogging journey on YouTube. I’m actively working to overcome my shortcomings, learn from past mistakes, and transform our channel into a captivating lifestyle vlog.

There’s no denying that my video shooting techniques and presentation skills are in need of improvement. But with each upload, I’m committed to honing my craft and delivering content that’s both entertaining and engaging.

If you’re curious to see how far I’ve come (or just want a good laugh), check out our YouTube channel, “KarlAndHiromiLifeInJapan.”
