Abroad in Japan

Chris Broad

4.5

funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

---

I’m quite bias because I’ve been watching Chris for the longest time, and I didn’t realise how early in his Youtube career either, so it was nice to revisit those key moments of his. I really enjoyed going down a version of memory lane, especially with Chris reading the book too. I knew it had to be the way I read this book. 

That being said, the Youtube section of Chris’s life did feel rushed, and obviously while this was about the people he met in Japan, I wish he also mentioned some of the other friends he had met along the way, like Joey, Connor, and talking about Pete and their podcast. It’s a shame the book wasn’t longer.
