    I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and UA-camr who's been to 55 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017. So far, my trips have taken me to Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
    I have travel series' from many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I filmed the first vlogs on my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China. A proper solo trip around Eastern Europe followed after graduating from University in the summer of 2017, taking me to Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Kosovo. This trip marked the start of my efforts to make a UA-cam full-time job.
    After that European trip I went heavily into exploring Asia, visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan (seeing me cover a lot of Far East and Southeast Asia in particular).
    I have also travelled to North Africa and the Middle East fairly extensively over the last five years, filming videos in Turkey, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Israel and Palestine.
    To date, I have not yet been to Australasia or South America. Though I am hoping to visit the latter sometime in 2022, along with a first stop in the Caribbean.
    I've travelled to North America just once as a UA-camr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
    So far in 2022, I've taken my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting both Kenya and Tanzania, before heading to the Middle East, stopping in Dubai and Lebanon. Europe followed, covering both the Greek and Turkish sides of Cyprus, and afterwards going back to Italy for the second time to cover Milan and Sicily. In the summer I visited the Caribbean for the first time, spending over a month in the Dominican Republic, before stopping in Belgium on my way home.
    After shooting some videos in Taiwan, I made my way to the Philippines for the second time.

    So brave of you to try the local chocolate drink and durian :) Both are known to cause a spike in blood pressure. :D That's why we avoid having both foods at the same time :D We usually make the local cocoa into a chocolate porridge called champurrado :) Soooo good!

    Eating Durian in the street/outside will not offend anyone especially in Davao, they are used to people eating that there..But it was a good idea not eating Durian with Hot Chocolate coz I dont think it’s a good combination might give you a tummy ache and a lot of trips to the loo😅 Locals in Davao eat it with Coke/Pepsi on the side, well that’s what my friends told me when I went there😬

    Thank you for the video, I'm glad to see you back!! Enjoy Mindanao! See if you can try palapa while you're there. it's a spicy condiment that might as well be called 'Filipino kimchi'. it's a speciality of Muslim Filipinos and has become quite famous here. It's fully vegan, and it's delicious if you love a bit of spice.
    If you're into cultural stuff too too, you might be able to catch some kulintang music there, it's the centuries old traditional lively gong-chime ensemble music of the Southern Philippines, that predates the Spanish colonial period by many centuries. it's one of the signature cultural icons of Mindanao and one for the prides of the Philippines.
    Never been to Samal there so looking forward to what you make of it! 😊

It’s an amazing mixture of influences. Davao looks like it has a big small town vibe. Looks like the climate is quite tropical? Thanks for the video great to have you back on here

      many foods smells, but tastes good (depending on your taste bud). I grew up around the Davao area, so I am very accustomed to durian.. and for me, like all foods that has scent, it just makes me want to eat them, sometimes you can tell from the smell being tasty or not (the durian) that is. There's only a handful of variety that these days, I'm willing to eat (as they are the best varieties).
      also don't eat it inside hotels! The scent will last a whole week, renders the room unrentable. A lot of hotels bans this fruit in their establishment.
