Hello everyone! Thanks for watching this video! As of August 2023, I'm no longer an ALT with the JET Program (I left on good terms!). I won't be responding to comments on this video anymore, but you can still connect with me on Instagram @chelseav_jp Thanks for supporting this channel the past 2 years, it was fun creating videos about being an ALT!

hope you enjoy this chatty video! it's a long one, but timestamps are in the description for you to skip around to take what you need~ let me know if you have questions or suggestions! stay safe 💕

glad you're making videos again! I'm applying for Jet next year to come over with my family, so I'd love to see vlogs of your daily life as an alt or even adventures you go on in Japan. Keep up the good work ☺️

I am going to be a Kagoshima JET in the fall and your videos are so helpful! I am so stressed for what to pack, but you are calming many of my fears. Thank you!

This was so great! Could you possibly do a video on teaching techniques and activities you do with the students? Thanks!

Hey Chelsea! I haven't gotten through all your videos yet but really glad to see you doing well 🙌 (minus the peanut episode 😬). Would be cool to hear about other important healthcare or medication differences, or even social differences we'd do well to be aware of before visiting for the first time 😊

Fire video man I think itd be cool if u could talk bout ur day as ALT and wat they expect u to do there + ur role in a classroom. Also i think many ppl go ALT to travel in japan so maybe a vid on how much free time u get in a week of ALT could be gud too

thanks for the video! it's so interesting to hear about other people's experiences on the JET program because as we all know, esid :-) I personally found that I brought way too many casual clothes that I dont really have a chance to wear/feel comfortable wearing because my students all live relatively close to me 😅 would definitely pack more business casual if I had to do it over again. and more indoor shoes. :/

I would like to see restaurants that you love to go. I will be visiting Japan next year.

Hi! Aspiring JET here for next year. I like your suitcases! Where did you get them? Awesome videos! :)

Love your videos! Tita.

Thanks for this video. Veey helpful

This is such a helpful video! I'm considering buying a Switch and I'll need a new laptop this year. Do you recommend buying them in the US before I leave or once I get to Japan. Is there any difference in compatibility?

Thats was super helpful, i will be moving as a student later this year. What suitcases did you buy yours look really good? Could you please link them if possible? Thank you!

this is really helpful! thank you so much for going through this again and reacting 😭 if you don't mind me asking, did you have to tape any of the toiletries you brought? i'm probably going to bring spray deodorant and things like that and i'm not sure if they'll open during the flight i also hope you're able to find peter! lol

Hi Chelsea, your video was on my recommended, I did enjoy it. In addition you are in one of my favorite places in Japan, Kagoshima! I hope you ae able to enjoy Kagoshima. Since, I only travel in the summer, here are some things you might enjoy Sakurajima Matsuri/Hanabi, MBC Matsuri, the fire burning umbrellas by the river event, the shave ice shop between Tenmonkan and Dolphin Port, real long lines in summer, also the Mikoshi festivals on the main street by Tenmonkan. Hiking Shiroyama, Outdoor onsen/spa at the Shiroyama Hotel (Free points card at Concierge gets you half price on all day spa/onsen pass) BTW free shuttle to Shiroyama Hotel from Rear of Kagoshima Chuo JR Station. cheers! Clayton from LA BTW, it's real hot and humid, I lose weight there in the summer.

Great job

thanks for this video!! im moving to kagoshima in a few months so the info about clothes and weather was especially useful. sad that the only climbing gym isn't super accessible 😭 but i hear there's a lot of walking areas around, so im looking forwards to that!! p.s. 8 schools holy smokes!! do you have any advice on how you handle so many different classes? would be a really useful video :3c !!

You are a pretty girl especially when you smile 😊.

Thule subterra gang 😎. Jokes aside this was pretty useful. When I watched your original video, I though that the 3 backpacks were excessive. Would you say it was worth it?

yay

Do you know ALTs who had friends or family back home ship items (maybe clothes, winter coats) that didn't fit in their suitcase? Any idea how expensive that is or what to consider if I'm thinking of going that route?

Okay but did you find your anteater buddy?

Filled your car with the wrong fuel, and had an allergy attack.
