How I travel to Japan and Asia when I'm unemployed and have no job

Hey, and welcome to today's video. And

today I want to talk about how I managed

to travel to Japan and Korea and around

Asia even though I'm unemployed,

even though I don't have a job. I get a

lot of questions from people asking me

things like, hey Daniel, how come you

don't have a job and you can afford to go

to Japan all the time and just mess around

in Asia? Do your parents give you money?

Well, no, my parents don't give me any

money. For some reason, a lot of people

believe, or they, they like to think

that my parents send me money just out of

the blue for no reason. And no, my parents

don't send me any money, not even a pound,

not even a dollar. The most they've ever

sent to me was £500 just so I could buy a

plane ticket to come back home. But that

was just a one-time thing, and I had to

pay them the money back. I didn't get to

keep it. Okay, so in this video, I want

to, I want to tell you the secrets of how

I managed to come to Japan every single

year and go to Korea and sometimes go to

other countries like Taiwan, even though I

don't have a job. I've been living this

kind of lifestyle for the past 7 years

where I come to Japan for a few months and

I go to Korea for a few months, and then I

come, I go back home to England, and then

I just sit around playing video games.

Saving my money back up, and then I do the

same thing the next year. It's just like

rinse and repeat. I've been repeating the

same kind of lifestyle for the past 7

years, and during the last 7 years,

I've only had a total of 2 jobs. One of

the jobs was actually in Japan, in Tokyo,

working in a convenience store, and I

worked there for about 4 months. And the

second job I had was in the petrol station

working night shift. I did the petrol

station job for about 9 months, and I

saved up a lot of money, which is one of

the reasons why I have so much money right

now. It's because most of the savings I

have now was from the petrol station job.

Now, I'm not saying that it's 100%

necessary to have a job to be able to do

what I'm doing. I've had times when I

haven't been able to find any work at home

because I live in the middle of nowhere

countryside in the UK, and the largest

town is pretty far away, and there's not a

lot of jobs going, and every time there

are jobs going, they get snapped up

straight away. So it's been very difficult

to find a job back home in the UK. But

this hasn't stopped me from leading this

lifestyle of going to Japan, fucking

around, and then going to Korea, and then

going to Taiwan. I've been doing this

every single year, and having a job or not

having a job hasn't really stopped me from

doing this. Now you see, the trick is You

don't actually need to have a job to be

able to make money. You see, I don't have

a job right now, but I'm making money from

doing things online. There's this thing

called the internet, and you can actually

do things on the internet and get money

for doing those things. You just have to

figure out what those things are and what

you're capable of doing yourself. In the

past, I've had several ideas of myself,

of my own, where I've started my own

businesses For example, I used to have an

eBay online store where I sold counterfeit

Hello Kitty watches and merchandise. I

also had a little business where I sold

used underwear on Craigslist. Those are

just a few examples of things I've done in

the past to be able to make money whilst

not actually having a job. You can copy my

ideas, or you can come up with your own

ideas, but you just have to remember that

you don't need a job to be able to make

money and come to Japan.

I've been fortunate because my parents let

me stay with them without asking me to pay

for rent or for food. Also, back home I

don't have a social life. I'm always at

home saving all of my money. I never go

out, I never go drinking, I never go see

my friends because they don't exist. I've

always been very good at saving money.

For example, when I was a school kid,

when I went to secondary school, my mum

used to give me £2.50 for lunch, and I

would never buy lunch. I would starve

myself, and I would keep the £2.50 in my

pocket, and I'd save it up every single

day. And 5 days a week, I would make £10

just from dinner money that I wouldn't

actually spend, and I would save it so I

can buy the things I wanted, mainly video

games. Sure, I'd be very hungry for most

of the day, but it was worth saving the

money. It was worth enduring the hunger.

Just so I could get what I wanted at the

end of the day. And it's actually funny

because I still do something that's pretty

similar to that. In Japan, if you go to

the supermarkets after 7 PM, they start

putting little stickers onto the fried

food and the instant food and the

microwave dinners. They put them down to

half price. So all you have to do is wake

up midday, 1 PM, and then starve yourself

until 7 PM And then after 7 PM, you just

rush to the supermarket and you buy as

many, as many half-price reduced items as

you possibly can. And then you just eat

those instead of having to pay for

full-price food. For some reason, and I'll

never understand why, but a lot of people

seem to think that Japan is this really

expensive country where food is very

expensive and the cost of living is very

expensive. But that's just a load of

rubbish. Japan is very affordable. If,

if you do your own cooking, if you know

where to live, if you know what time to go

to the supermarket at, it can be very

affordable. And most days I only spend

about $4 to $5 on food,

and you could get away with spending even

less if you do your own cooking. Yeah, if

you live in the middle of Tokyo and you

eat out at restaurants every single day

and you go to Starbucks every morning,

then yeah, it's going to be extremely

expensive. But if you do those kind of

things, then you're either rich or you're

really stupid. Okay, so this is a secret,

but this is something that I do to save

money on food. If you're staying at a

guest house, there's often a shared

kitchen, and you can sneak down into the

kitchen in the middle of the night and you

can open the fridge. And people just put

their stuff in the fridge. They put their

food in the, in the fridge that's in the

kitchen, like eggs. And ham or bacon or

bread, and you can just pinch like one egg

or one slice of ham and no one will even

notice. When it comes to accommodation,

accommodation is the most expensive thing

that you'll have to pay for when you come

to Japan, and you have many options. You

have the most expensive option, which is a

hotel, and then you also have backpacker

hostels. But my favorite choice is the

guest house. The guest house is by far the

most affordable place that you can stay

in. And in some places you don't even have

to pay for electricity because the

electricity bill is included in the rent.

And you don't even have to do the cleaning

because usually they have someone who

cleans. But there's actually an even

cheaper accommodation than the guesthouse,

and I like to call it the girlfriend's

place. So basically all you have to do is

you have to find a Japanese girlfriend who

lives by herself, and then you You have to

get her to fall in love with you, and then

eventually she'll ask you to move in with

her, and then you'll have a place to stay

and you won't even have to pay rent. And

this has been something that I've done

several times, and you can save so much

money if you just find a girlfriend and

live with her. It's— it just makes so much

sense. In case you're wondering what kind

of food do I buy for myself to save money

when purchasing food or groceries, this is

what I usually eat. You have the good old

instant noodles. They're pretty cheap.

You can make a lot of meals for a very low

price. You just have to toss in some

vegetables, some meat, and you're ready to

go. Now inside the actual fridge,

it's, um, it's very dark, so we'll switch

cameras to the low-light camera. We have

a jug of liquid that I'm not sure what

that is. We have some milk. Milk's very

important for protein. And we have some

soy sauce Ketchup. Ketchup's also very

good. I don't know what this is. I think—

no, I don't know what that is. We also

have some butter, cubes of butter. I don't

eat the butter. My girlfriend eats it.

She likes butter. We have yogurt and

apple jam and eggs. Eggs are very

important for protein. Maybe a bit high

on the cholesterol, but I think it'll be

fine. And this is one of my new favorite

drinks. It's called lemon and lemongrass

mix, and it has a lot of vitamin C and

this weird thing called quinic acid. I'm

not quite sure what that is. Also, we have

some ice cream and kimchi. Kimchi is also

very good. It lasts a very long time and

it tastes delicious, and it's actually

very enriched with probiotics,

which is kind of like the similar friendly

bacteria you get with yogurt because

kimchi is basically fermented cabbage and

you get all that good bacteria stuff with

it. One of the benefits of living in an

apartment like this is you get your own

little kitchen. You get a little stove and

a sink, so it's very easy to do your own

cooking. So I guess in conclusion, my main

pieces of advice are find a way of making

money online. It can be anything, it's up

to you. Use your imagination.

Everything's okay as long as you don't get

caught. And finally, I can't stress this

enough, you need to find a Japanese

girlfriend as soon as you can, because as

soon as she asks you to move in with her,

then, then you're golden. You don't have

to pay for rent, or you can pay for at

least half of it, and you'll save so much

money. You'll be able to keep coming to

Japan over and over without hardly

spending anything, and you won't even need

to have a job. Trust me, it works.

It's a fact.
