This is all part of the travel experience!Safety in Japan 🇯🇵 #shortsJake Braymiller2026-08-27 | Japan is so safe 🇯🇵
And that’s a reason why so many people love it so much
Not to say that other countries aren’t safe, but in so many Western countries, especially in cities, people are always a little bit on edge
You have to know which neighborhoods to avoid
Or you have your guard up walking alone at night
These small concerns can add up
But in Japan, at any time of day, in almost any neighborhood, you feel at ease
It’s one less thing to worry about

My 59th country now!
I flew into Toulouse, France and then took a bus to get here.
So far I really like the capital Andorra La Vella. It’s quiet, peaceful, and very beautiful.
I love being surrounded by mountains on all sides 🏔️
Overall I’d say it’s a great place to visit if you want to relax and take life slowly.
Or if you love to ski in winter!
But right now in offseason there’s not that much going on so it isn’t overly exciting.
Just lots of cafes, restaurants, and shopping.
Have you ever been to Andorra? 🇦🇩Ranking Countries in Central America #shortsJake Braymiller2026-03-23 | Ranking the 7 countries in Central America after visiting them all!
So here are my rankings and reasonings:
7 - Panama 🇵🇦 I enjoyed this country but honestly just found it to be a bit boring. There is more money, infrastructure, and high end things in Panama than other countries in this region, which is great. I just didn’t find it that interesting personally.
6 - Belize 🇧🇿 I thought Belize was cool and there are amazing beaches and nature. Also it’s the only country in Central America where English is the first language so it was easier to communicate. But I had a very bad experience in Belize City and other countries on this list just interest me more.
5 - El Salvador 🇸🇻 In recent years El Salvador has gone from being one of the most dangerous countries in the world to one of the safest. I really like some of the surf towns on the coast. But overall it’s a small country and there isn’t as much to do as others.
4 - Honduras 🇭🇳 I have a bias here because one of my best friends is Honduran so he has taken me to some hidden local spots. And this country is higher on the list because of Roatán, a beautiful island with pristine water and beaches. But the cities are kind of unsafe and hard to navigate, so that’s why it isn’t higher.
3 - Nicaragua 🇳🇮 This country has one of my favorite towns in Central America called León and I got to volcano board nearby so that gives it a high rating in my book. But the capital Managua is not a place that I enjoyed.
2 - Costa Rica 🇨🇷 What a beautiful country with so much to offer. They have a great tourist infrastructure and amazing nature everywhere. I highly recommend visiting! Just keep in mind it’s the most expensive country in Central America.
1 - Guatemala 🇬🇹 This country is home to what I think are 3 of the best best places in all of Central America: Tikal, Antigua, and Lake Atitlán. So just these spots alone give Guatemala my number 1 ranking.

And what a unique country this is!
Overall, I’d say most travelers visit Cyprus for the warm weather and beautiful beaches
And maybe for all the cute cats everywhere too
I stayed in Larnaca and had a really relaxing time
But it’s also a unique country because the island is divided into two sections, and you have to cross the UN Buffer Zone to travel between them
Plus, it’s geographically closer to Asia, yet it’s a member of the EU and uses the euro
So I think it’s a really interesting place to visit!
And just to clarify: Cyprus is an independent country. When I say “Greek side” and “Turkish side,” I mean Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot.One challenge as a foreigner in Japan 🇯🇵 #shortsJake Braymiller2026-01-24 | You can’t always vibe check restaurants in Japan
The doors and windows are often blocked so you just have to walk in without seeing the inside
Is the restaurant empty? Is it full? Will they be mad that I don’t speak Japanese?
So it can be a challenge to find a spot to eat if you lack confidenceTravel Review 35: Slovakia 🇸🇰 #shortsJake Braymiller2025-12-23 | Travel Review: Slovakia 🇸🇰
I spent 4 days in Bratislava and think it’s an incredibly underrated capital city in Europe!
It’s often skipped for the likes of Prague, Vienna, and Budapest
And I’ve seen quite a few people call it boring
But my experience Bratislava was that it’s clean, safe, walkable, affordable has good food, and plenty of things to do
With half the tourist crowds!
Plus just outside the city is Hrad Devin which are these castle ruins on a hill on the border of Slovakia and Austria
Overall my time in Slovakia was great!

And number 34 was Austria
I think Austria is such a high quality country and I would live there for sure
Vienna specifically is an incredible and historic city
But now I really want to go back soon and explore some other cities and more nature too
Though it can be a bit more on the pricey side for things like accommodations and eating at restaurants
But it’s not nearly as bad as Switzerland 💰

The Monster Building in Hong Kong is this massive apartment building that houses around 10,000 people
And it’s really crazy and impressive to see in person
But when I visited there were long lines of visitors trying to get photos
And I’ve heard this happens everyday
All because pictures and videos on social media made this place go viral
But it has caused debates as some local residents have become frustrated with the number of tourists

#hongkong #victoriapeakRanking Cities in Japan #shortsJake Braymiller2025-11-08 | Ranking the 5 cities I visited in Japan 🇯🇵👇
5. Nara - I liked Nara, but it just felt too touristy and like all the visitors were only there to take photos with deer. I’m not sure if it was the sheer amount of tourists or the TYPE of tourist (rude, not respecting the culture) that bothered me. But I get that I might also be contributing to the over tourism problem.
4. Kobe - A very cool and laid back city on the water. I really enjoyed Kobe and the food was great. It just doesn’t have the wow factor the top 3 do.
3. Fukuoka - I loved Fukuoka. It’s a bigger city and surprisingly had very few tourists (at least from what I could tell). The Fukuoka tower, Nanzoin temple, Ohori Park, beaches, shrines, and everything else are great. And the local Hakata ramen is fantastic too!
2. Tokyo - One of the biggest, most impressive cities in the world. There is SO much to see and do, but it’s still so organized. And Japan is so good that both Osaka and Tokyo have launched up to the top of my favorite cities in the world list. The only reason I have Osaka higher is because Tokyo can feel a bit more corporate, proper, and overwhelming at times. I liked the rugged but still more manageable feel of Osaka a little more.
1. Osaka - To me Osaka felt like the gritty, beating heart of Japan. It was more real and down to earth. The people were so friendly, the food delicious, and the vibes just so good. Plus it’s in an incredible location that’s close to places like Kobe, Nara, Kyoto, and others so short trips are easy!I Can’t Believe This Is Tokyo — Lake OkutamaJake Braymiller2025-11-07 | Tokyo, Japan is the world's biggest and most populated city.

Thinking more about Nara, I feel like the problem for me is the type of tourists who visit
Of course, I’m a visitor myself and might contribute to the very problem I’m talking about
But I saw so many people being disrespectful toward Japanese culture and overly focused on getting photos and videos of the animals
It was hard to have an authentic experience unless you went much deeper into the park or the city
That’s just my opinion though
