Hey everyone!

You haven't heard from me in a bit here on Patreon! Sorry about that! I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew with everything that's been going on these past couple of months. Between planning and attending my Japan group trip, building out my new van while also trying to edit videos for my main youtube channel, my second channel, and Patreon, needless to say, I have been so swamped!

And as you guys have noticed, I've been slacking on my Patreon videos this past month and for that I'm sorry but I hope you all understand! And while I don't have a fresh Patreon exclusive video ready for you yet (one is coming soon), I did want to go ahead and give you all early access to Episode 1 of my Japan series.

This is an early access video for my Youtube channel so there is a sponsor attached to it. If you'd like to skip the sponsored segment, it happens around 4:09 - 5:20 of the video.

This video takes place 2 days before the official group trip. I wanted to get there before everyone else so I could have time to settle in and whatnot. However, a few people from the group trip also decided to arrive early with me so we went ahead and explored around a bit and it was such a blast! Plus, I got to stay in a cozy little capsule hotel!!! It was so cool!!!!

This video officially releases this Sunday and hopefully we'll have episode 2 out next weekend! So stay tuned!

But if this trip is looking fun so far and you want to join me on my next group trip, I'm actually hosting another trip to China in October of this year and you can take a look at that itinerary we have planned here: https://trovatrip.com/trip/asia/china/china-with-trent-the-traveler-oct-2025?earlyBird=true And as usual, if you're one of the first 8 people to sign up for the trip, you get $200 off the ticket price. I would act fast on this because when I officially announce this trip to everyone on my Youtube, I get the feeling this trip is going to book up very quickly due to how affordable and adventure packed this trip is. But of course since you guys are my Patreon supporters, you get first dibs on those spots!

But anyway, enjoy this early access video and again, sorry for my lack of content here on patreon! I'll get a new video out here soon!

Love ya guys and have a good weekend! <3

Carmina Luna

We missed your content Trent! Just started following you on Patreon like a month ago and all your videos are amazing. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us Trent.

Joanne Johnston

Really enjoyed the video and looking forward to the rest of the adventure. Your group all look like great people so far. i can't get over how clean Tokyo is and how polite the people are. Seems like a really nice place to visit!

Thedrummer12382

I have been waiting for these vlogs! These are gonna be super hype!

Melinda James

I loved this video. Such awesome people you met so far from what you showed. Martin if you see this I really hope in the next video we’re like yay he got his luggage. That’s like my worst fear. I purposely have my check in bag is Harry Potter so I can’t miss it and it can’t be missed by the luggage people lol 😆 those cubes you slept in looked so roomy. Nice and cozy can fit like two people in there. Thing looked huge. I loved the tiny streets and buildings. So much history. Excited for more videos to come can’t wait to see what you got in store. 🥰

Sammyspack

I just joined your patreon and completely expected there would be delays due to van build out and Japan. Looking forward to when you can post but no pressure here!

WendyY

Looks awesome!! I'd have to bring an empty bag or two, for all the stuff I'd want to buy and bring home!!! 😅 Have fun Trent & keep the videos coming!!!

Piopio Glenorchy-Paradise

So happy for Trent that he made it to Japan! The long-awaited video is finally up, yay! I used to visit Japan multiple times every year, but the last two years have been really tough, so I didn’t get to go. Seeing probably my favorite YouTuber travelling in Japan, with familiar surroundings and hearing familiar sounds, is even more interesting than a good Hollywood movie. I'm going to have a major surgery next week, and I’ll be watching this video over and over during recovery (if I’m awake). I’ll also be looking forward to new Japan-related or van conversion videos during the recovery period. Thank you, Trent! Friendly reminder: In Japan and some Asian countries (like China/Hong Kong/Taiwan), don't stick chopsticks into a bowl of rice while eating. In Japan: Sticking chopsticks upright in a bowl is called "Tatebashi," and it’s a big taboo because this is something done when honoring ancestors or deceased people. This behavior is considered inauspicious. It’s better to place the chopsticks on a rest or in a chopstick holder. In other Asian countries, like China/Hong Kong/Taiwan, it's the same. When praying at temples or honoring ancestors, incense sticks are placed upright in the incense altar. Putting chopsticks upright in a bowl is like that and is seen as very inauspicious. If there’s no chopstick rest, you can place them on a small dish beside your bowl.

Tracey

I've been dreaming of going to Japan for over 20 years! This looks amazing, can't wait to see more of your adventures!

Wendy Brown

Hope you had an awesome time there. I can't wait to see more.

HeatherR

So looking forward to seeing this!

Martha Nunez

My daughter and I love watching you, this is a trip we need to take. That strawberry sandwich looks amazing. Can’t wait to watch more.

AntoinetteToni

Trent and Millie hope you are safe in Georgia I think you have storm coming your way today.

Dara Maroon

I'm so happy you all had a wonderful time in Japan! I love your travel videos and can't wait to see the new van when it's done!

Michelle Cholewczynski

Loving it so far, all those people though, that had my anxiety high. I'm an introvert so I would not be happy there, but it's so wonderful to see the country through you.

Robin

So glad you got to go to Japan!! I really really would like to go someday!! Thank you for sharing!!

MiQ2

Oh my this is sick! excited to see the rest!!

Chloe Stuck

I’m traveling to Japan in two weeks. Looking forward to the experience. Thanks for sharing.

Joshua Escalera

Roberta Tourville Breslin

Good to see you Trent! Japan looks amazing! Hope you had a wonderful time. Can’t wait for more videos! I really miss seeing Millie, can’t imagine how much you must have missed that cutie pie 🥰. I can’t travel anymore so I’m living vicariously through you and enjoying every minute!!
