Overview
In July 2020 catalog recordings, Daniel moved from England to Germany, seeking privacy and independence from his mother's house. He stayed in a series of lodgings: a Berlin Airbnb, a garden A-frame, a cheap small room, a hotel, and later larger Airbnbs in other cities. He kept his location private and favored Airbnb for furnished rooms, included utilities and flexibility. Source dates are catalog dates, not verified event dates.

Monetization recurred. Daniel reported about $5,500 from OnlyFans over roughly two months, far above his YouTube AdSense income and mostly from the first month, and described his pricing and paid content. He bought Belle Delphine's subscription for $35 and cancelled it.
Daniel called Germany the best country he has lived in compared with Japan and South Korea. He credited an improved mood to separate rooms, cooking, exercise and deleting dating apps. He reflected on his marriage and divorce from Chihiro and thirteen years of pursuing romance, and said he was stepping back from dating and keeping his personal life private.
Cooking and food reviews ran throughout the month, with numerical ratings for several dishes, alongside improvised exercise such as lifting a bicycle, a weighted bag and push-ups.

Early July (catalog dates 07-05 to 07-07): Daniel stayed at a Berlin Airbnb. He struggled with the door, learned the freezer food belonged to the host, bought about €38 of groceries, collected keys at a Vietnamese restaurant with a bystander's help, rated a microwaved cheeseburger 6.4/10, stayed in on day three, lifted an apartment bicycle, repaired a tripod mount and baked meat skewers.
Catalog date 2020-07-08: Daniel cooked a store-bought kebab meal in the oven. He found it unseasoned and dry and added leftover sushi soy sauce.

Catalog dates 2020-07-10 and 07-12: Daniel toured a garden A-frame Airbnb and shopped for groceries. He later walked through fields, a river and woods in Germany and climbed a lookout tower, feeling dizzy.
Mid-July (catalog dates 07-15 and 07-16): Daniel roasted two whole chickens at 170 degrees as part of a roughly 6,000-calorie muscle-building diet, then baked and tasted a large Jagdwurst sausage.
Catalog dates 2020-07-17 to 07-19: Daniel left an Airbnb after a week for a small room of about £30 a night with no kitchen or kettle. He then decided to move to a hotel near a gym, cancelled a canoeing trip because of rain, and prepared for a four-hour train journey. He checked into a spacious Airbnb in a new city for an expected final two weeks before returning to England.
Catalog dates 2020-07-20 to 07-25: Daniel cooked bolognese pasta (6.5/10), carbonara and fried salmon with rice, released a Filthy Frank reaction-criticism video, and published a Ghost of Tsushima review rating it 2.8/10 and advising against buying it.
Late July (catalog dates 07-28 and 07-31): Daniel reported moving from Berlin to another undisclosed city, banned a commenter who tried to track his location, was recognized at a train station, deleted dating apps, called Germany the best country he has lived in, and talked about shifting toward talking videos.
Catalog date 2020-07-30: Daniel arrived at another Airbnb after a nearly six-hour train ride and ate McDonald's because stores were closed on Sunday.
