after living with my parents for a while, life started feeling stagnant, so I booked a one way ticket to Beijing.
in this vlog, I explore new hobbies in the comfort of my favorite city, show you hidden cafes and bakeries in the hutongs that make Beijing feel like home, and share lessons I've learned from living alone for the first time in a while, as a closing chapter to my twenties.
to all my little tapiocas trying to find yourself - I'm right here with you 💌

First of all, Kudos on the sponsorship :) and your ceramics teacher is so calming! I love to see how Beijing is evolving. Makes me miss it so much. I lived in Beijing for 7 years (am from the USA) and I often found myself feeling lonely. I love how this city has so many opportunity to connect with others. Love to see that Zarah is still thriving. Cheers to learning to love spending time alone ❤

thanks so much for the support🫶 when you guys cheer me on for getting sponsorships it truly means so much. I don’t take it for granted, and appreciate you very much for making it possible❤️ wow zarah feels like my home base in Beijing…to this day I still can’t think of Beijing without immediately thinking of zarah. very grateful to get to spend this time in Beijing and share it with you✨

A big part of adulting is spending time for yourself I imagine. When as a child all I wanted is to be surrounded by friends but I wasn't, and now I crave for the silence and alone time and need to evaluate decisions relating other people. Big relate and you put it in such a comfortable way :)

I also visited Beijing, which is my childhood home where I grew up until 10 years old, this past summer. This was the first time I was able to visit in 5 or so years, so the experience I had this time was quite different from the past because I'm more grown up now. I also felt that I was finally able to get closure for a place so close to my heart! Why say proper goodbye to a place that you've yet to miss, right? Walking into my childhood room was like walking into a museum, and everything in my room became a portal to my life back then, as if they were frozen in time all these years. From reading some of my old journals, I was surprised to learn many things about my younger self that I had even forgotten. And even though I barely have friends back in Beijing, I still feel that it'll be my forever home because of all the memories I associate with it growing up. Now that I'm back in the U.S., I can't help but reminisce the time I spent in Beijing this summer with my family. Thanks for this lovely vlog - it brought back some good memories from when I was there. :)

So so so enjoyed every vlog you make for a while now and it sometimes sound like things I should be saying to myself as well. I'm looking forward to more of your self-exploration videos and to hear your thoughts. Also so nice to see quaint alleys in Beijing too.

Very comfortable video to watch as usual (: A question about your video making process, do you have a topic in mind before you film and do you write an outline of what you want to talk about? Or do you grab your cam, head out to shoot and talk about whatever comes to mind, then piece a topic during editing?

This one was more of a grab the camera and shoot, but I like it better when I already have a topic in mind!
