You know, for a while this week I thought my career was over after a post by megatech YouTuber Marque Brownlee revealed a company had started selling AI chatbots of YouTubers and Abroad in Japan was on the list.

After all, in the absence of my real self, I need never talk to anyone ever again.
And yet, any plans for retirement I might've had for retirement were quickly extinguished when one viewer asked the Abroad in Japan chatbot a simple question:

It looks like I might be around a little while longer yet 😂
- Unless the whole response was a actually an ingenious sarcastic comment, in which case it’s ahead of the curve and we’re truly stuffed indeed.
In the world of Youtube, January is known as the month where everyone seems to go into hibernation after a busy end to the year and plan what’s ahead. But given we released four videos in January, instead February has been my reset month - a time to reflect and recover after a crazy two months.
(I also need to bloody hurry up and get fit as the biggest physical challenge I’ve undertaken with Connor lurks overhead, just over a month away. More on that later).

In the meantime though we’ve got a few videos out before the month is over - one of which includes Natsuki, who I’m trying to re-pay for his traumatic camping experience.
He’ll be swinging by Tokyo this weekend and along the way I’m keen to hold a fun little Patreon Q&A answering questions sent in by you guys!
So fire away - with hashtag #ASKABROAD please send us YOUR questions about ANYTHING below and I’ll put the questions to the man himself in person.
I’m also excited to say I'm currently planning a solo Japan travel series, where it’s just you, me and a camera, with the hope of discovering and exploring places in Japan we’ve never visited.
In contrast to Journey Across Japan and the big team, I wanted to dial things back and make a solo cinematic vlog (similar to the Day in My Life episode last year).
As I’ve mentioned before my favourite part of producing a Youtube video is holding a camera in my hand and filming the world around me, trying to get the perfect shot and I’m keen to get back to it this year (while of course, continuing to work with amazing cameramen like Paul on bigger projects).
Let me know where you’d like me to go and explore around Japan, as I’ll be filming next week and your ideas may well determine where I head to for our first episode!
Finally guys, if you missed the Patreon Behind the Scenes feature episodes for Journey Across Japan, be sure to go and watch them over here!
