In this Hong Kong vlog, I take you on a journey of personal growth and discovery as I overcome my fear of vlogging. Whether you're vlogging for beginners or figuring out how to start vlogging, I share my experience of pushing past the awkwardness of vlogging in public and offer insights for those who feel afraid to vlog. From beginner vlogging challenges to valuable lessons, this video highlights what vlogging taught me about life and how I started learning to love vlogging. I’ll share practical vlogging in public tips and explain why this trip changed my perspective, offering inspiration for anyone seeking confidence while vlogging or looking for a vlogging mindset shift. If you’re curious about travel vlogging tips, how to document your life, or just want to understand why vlogging is hard and how to make it easier, this video is for you.
