I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and UA-camr who's been to 61 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017.
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 marked the start of my efforts to turn vlogging into a full-time job.
After that European trip I explored much of Asia: visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan.
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, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.
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.
In 2022, I took my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting 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. I then visited the Caribbean for the first time, covering the Dominican Republic, before heading to both Brussels and Amsterdam, then covering Taiwan and the Philippines in Asia. I finished off the year with a trip around Morocco.
I started my travels in 2023 by finally visiting Paris, taking the Eurostar from London. I then headed over to Qatar for a few days, before heading to Asia, with videos following from India, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Mongolia, Thailand and Sumatra (Indonesia).

Just imagine in 1678, there were no modern buildings around it, you could see the river directly from the fort. How beautiful it used to be! No Electrical lights, no buses, no people, just silence and oil lamps.
If there were “no people”, who lighted the oil lamps? 😂
@@HomeTravelGardenInspo I mean almost none was there. It's a metaphoric sentence.
and an ever increasing population - they don't just reproduce but have litters. india too. it's a problem but they refuse to solve it. can't feed themselves but will bring souls into this world that they also can't feed. foolish and inconsiderate. people in rapid moral decline
Even in 1980s, Dhaka was much more beautiful.
It was all the fault of Noakhali Chittagong Sylheti Comilla and Barishal people who produced children like a rabbit and sent them to work in early childhood or Madrasa. Over pop and corruption are the main causes of all the problems here
Love and respect for my Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 Brothers and Sisters from Islamabad Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks
@@anikzaman830 you are welcome 😊
@saifurrahman995 don't get happy Bangladesh is still ugly n poor
#Indiaout.. We bangladeshi people love pakistan..
Rajakar likes Rajakar. That's simple @@somoysharfaraz9932
The city that will test your patience, expand your horizons, and leave you with a million stories to tell. I've been to Bangladesh few years ago as I filmed one of our TV show episodes there and truth be told, where kindness is as common as street vendors, resilience is etched on every face, and the spirit of the people shines brighter than any neon sign.
What the episode called?
What’s the episode called?
This is my favorite Jason Billam video ever! Just wow.
can’t believe this guy is doing this alone walking and with a rickshaw.
Walking in busiest streets of Dhaka is one challenge everyone should take 😂
I love watching folks, especially foreign bloggers coming to check out Bangladesh (looks like the amount of tourists going is on the rise)! You make the experience seem so authentic and exciting. My parents are originally from Bangladesh (Old Dhaka) but it's been a while since I've had a chance to visit so its great getting to live vicariously through your videos
hey Jason, it's so good to see you back in BD. I followed your entire BD series in 2018 and I'm glad that we've made you come back for more! Also I'm so sorry for the chaos you've faced among us, try to visit more hill-track and countryside areas to get the best of Bangladesh, like Sitakundu, Thanchi Alikodom, Mohamaya Lake, Debotakhum etc . Loads of love
What many people don’t know about the Lalbagh Fort is that the fort derives its name from an old garden of red roses. Hence Lal (red) and Bagh (garden). Even more interesting is that, this particular garden is not the ones you see around the compound! It was located on the upper floor of the structure you see straight ahead, as you enter the compound.
Walk across Pari Bibi’s tomb to the other end, walk left and at the end of the building you will find stairs to go up. Now walk to the other end. You will find a green patch here, and within the apparent field, you will find remnants of walls built in geometric patterns. This was the garden of red roses. It is believed that the then ruler had imported these rose plants from Basra (Iraq) and built this rose garden for his daughter.
Look west here, and you will find another building beside an open space. This was the waterworks department. Water used to be pumped up from the river to this place. From here, it was brought up to this floor for the rose garden. More water was taken to the open tank on this floor at the center of the building (which you must have crossed on the way to the rose garden). From this tank, water would shoot down pipes to the garden below and feed the fountains.
It was quite an engineering feat keeping the fountains running in those days!
আপনাকে পুরান ঢাকার দৃশ্য তুলে ধরার জন্য ধন্যবাদ। Thanks for visit old Dhaka. Pls visit next Bahadur Shah Park in old Dhaka. It is in British regime in 1857 AD.
I request you to visit Shylet. I always find your videos enjoyable to watch.
That’s the only thing that I always hope my favourite travel vloggers might do is visit explore and document sylhet more like they do with other cities
You've excelled yourself here with this truly unique, simple, captivating and more similar adjectives to show this amazing city. WOW! The tricycle rides and just walking those busy streets. As a pretty experienced world traveller from previous years I was wondering why you chose to come to Dhacca but as an awesome world traveller yourself, you and Gabriel Traveler are definitely my two favourites, never missing an episode so that I can continue to travel vicariously through your lens and watch the goings on. Well done.
Very interesting video! Thank you for the history lesson. The congestion and noise would overwhelm me. You are far braver and calmer than I could be. The things one does for biryani!!
As a Bangladeshi, Old dhaka even scares me. I don't know how you kept a normal smiley face through out the video. Hats off to you haha
welcome to Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Wow, I can’t even wrap my thoughts around the endless humanity! Loved this. Stay safe and healthy!
many many thanks for visiting and showing our country all over the world.
Man Jason your content is so enriching I despise when the videos are finally over which makes me watch them multiple times.
It seem nice despite the chaos!!! Nice to see a wonderful adventure, Jason!
Thank you!
im from BD, grew up in Canada, and even though i visit home each year, its very refreshing to see Jason's videos. I get to live through his experience haha of course we go to different areas, seeing it from a tourist's perspective is an amazing feeling. i can note down new places i wanna visit and so on. hope u go to the west to Shilaidaha Rabindra Kuthibari. its famous and like 40km from my home village lol u'd love Kushtia too.. some of the best street vendors there.
Love from Bangladesh ❤️❤️🇧🇩🇧🇩🙋♂️
This is one of the best movie i have ever seen. Thank you for providing us great video. I have never been to overseas in my life,so hopefully go to many countries someday and soak atmosphere. I want you to come back to japan again! Greetings from japan🇯🇵❤
Absolutely fascinating. I am between jobs and cannot travel right now, and this just made my day.
I follow many travel youtubers travelling around Asia however you’re the first I see in Bangladesh. Congrats!! 👍🏻
please keep on doing what you are doing....it brights our days :-) (sorry if i commented too much)
Bro, don't forget to visit Barishal & Vimruli floating market.

Thankyou Mr. Jason, coming back to my country.
Hi Jason,I am a Bangladeshi living in Australia...while you visited old Dhaka the word Shankari bazar should pronounce Shakari the N remains silent.....I enjoyed watching your video
Thanks
Glad to see you back here. I watched all of your BD videos back in 2018. I hope you have a lovely experience here again.
Hey Jason, welcome back. We love you...❤❤❤
I Like it when your videos are all over the place. It's real and authentic.
Best travel streamer on youtube! Wonderful content
Good to see you in Bangladesh again, got to ride the metro just when it opened up last year, a massive gamechanger for traveling in a city as congested as Dhaka, hope to see you do a video on it soon.
Welcome back to Bangladesh! Please come to moulvibazar again. I will guide you to see countryside.
Wow thanks love the video, I'm planning to visit Dhaka and your video has inspired me
OMG!!!!😮 I was in Dhaka too, but I would go crazy in old Dhaka!!! Unbelievable!!! 😩
Wow high energy intense but so interesting a challenge and looks like fun. Thanks
Thanks a lot for your visit to beautiful Bangladesh ❤❤❤❤
Loved the video. I live in Dhaka but in the North. Spent some of my childhood in the UK.
Welcome Back Brother! ❤
Exciting thanks again John in Chicago
Pleasant to see you again in Dhaka Bangladesh after six years. It's remarkable the way you have explained about old Dhaka. Cheers!
Thanks for traveling my country🎉
Wooow...I really like your every vlog, You really walk through the streets of Dhaka as if you know a lot, it seems like it is a city you know a lot, its soo natural.
Lots of love for you.
thank you for showing us old dhakah
Nice video Jason! Makes me want to go visit Bangladesh myself!
Good filming and nice to see old Dhaka, time for you to visit Bukhara and Samarkand...
Hi 👋 Simply next level energy and pure synchronicity. ✌️
Nice to see you in Bangladesh again
Welcome back, Jason.
Thank you!
I just loved the chaos there. Like you said in the previous video, even if you have been to chaotic cities before nothing can prepare you for Dhaka. I might have caught something nasty in Bangladesh though. Tropical sprue. Still suffering from it today five years after my visit.
ঢাকার কিছু রিকশা যদি হ্রাস করে এবং তারগুলো যদি মাটির নিচ দিয়ে নেয় তাহলে সত্যিই ঢাকা একটি সুন্দর শহরে পরিণত হবে। ✌️✌️
It will loss it's characteristics

Support from Bangladesh.. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🥰🥰🥰
I am Bangladesh, I see your video very interest I am proud of Bangladesh for video
Dhaka is business hub. You should visit village side and tourist area.
You must visit Chittagong hill tracks such as Rangamati,Sajek,,Kaptai you will feel the natural beauty of Bangladesh
Love from 🇧🇩🇧🇩
This is why I like reality videos!
Love the organized chaos, noise, and sights during your ride!
Just come and stay here for a week you will never wish to visit again
@@furiousfade4ever211 a week’s visit doesn’t too bad, I can appreciate the madness. Longer than that would probably be out of the question, ha. Exploring a similar place yearly, I would truly enjoy!
@@mylahbarreto5265 if you visit Bangladesh visit cities like Khulna, Chattogram, Rajshahi there's less crowd there and if you're confident enough to visit Dhaka you can you're most welcome here 😊
Welcome back to Bangladesh bro❤
You are back bro !
Your new looking is eye-catching 🤗
Mind opening, indeed!
Welcome back Jason
Hi Jason, how are you? I miss your wonderful videos and fun trips ❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤

Keep it up. It's interesting.
Thanks, will do!
Great video! All the best!
this is addicting to watch. if i was there in person i would be sooooo overwhelmed and not being able to enjoy it haha but i still want to visit!
Welcome back both of you...❤❤❤❤🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Youve come back, your BD vlogs from back in the day were great !!! i'm from Bedfordshire not far from your home town in Cambridge ! come to Sylhet I may bump in to you :-)
Dhaka is very crowded and noisy, but the other parts of Bangladesh are quite chilling and beautiful.
You took a lot of risk to make this vlog for us,i commend this effort wholeheartedly ❤
Bro thank god , you didn't try pre afternoon commuting by bus , it's the the godfather of claustrophobia.
Hello jason🎉🎉
Thanks a million for this video ❤❤
You have come to my country, and we have come to your country ❤❤❤
Great!! Keep it up🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations in Bangladesh. Good to have you back.My comment is ,you visited the Lalbagh Fort but have you visited the main large building of that Fort .if you have visited than you would have seen the painted pictures of English voiceroy and chancellors of the 17th century as lord Carjon ,lord Dalhossie and many others who ruled here from Britain.and many antique things like sowrds and other ancient photo's of India and Banglades with history.hope u have seen that.Wish u best of luck.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Excellent video, great atmosphere. B has been on my list for years! Are you videoing on your phone or a GoPro?
I subscribe your channel because of your patient. Even i belongs to Bangladesh but dare to move city like you. Cheers man ❤
You can visit cox bazar,Sylhet, Bandarban..
Next level!
Just saw your video. Left my country about 5yrs ago to pursue higher degrees & haven’t been to Bangladesh since. Made me so nostalgic!
Kudos to you. I REALLY appreciate your courage to go through the narrow গলিs (go-lee) / narrow roads of shankhari bajar, lalbag, sadarghat! Since you have been to this area, may be next time go to the "University of Dhaka" area as well. And have some tea at TSC. May be visit the book fair as well?
If you ever go to Mohammadpur again, try Singapore Juice House and Mona mamar HALIM 😅
Also, have you been to neelkhet or new market? Chadni chowk? Atleast neelkhet would be nice experience. You will see so many books but with much lesser prices!
I wish you enjoy my city, my home to the best 😊
Thanks for all the great suggestions. I’m glad it provided some good nostalgia for you!
I think you should visit Rupganj , The city is pretty dense and crowdy. Rupganj is more calm than the city, so consider it in your bucket list
Will keep it in mind.
you're such a good traveler
Fascinating!
traveling in rickshaw is so much fun
Funnily enough, the intensity is also kind of the reason why everyone's always rushing to get to their destination. Cuz even us locals don’t wanna stay in the jam packed streets for too long
Wow this city is crazy and fascinating just like Delhi!!
I just subscribed you! You deserve it!!
with our new metro, it takes only 30 minutes from North (Uttara, airport) to South (Motijheel) which is 3 hours by car. so using the metro is better :P
also please visit Padma bridge- this is also a game changing bridge for Bangladesh, connecting the southern Bangladesh with Dhaka and takes only 6 hours from Dhaka to South, which previously took more than 13 hours sometimes, due to ferry connections and so on. Padma Bridge is one of the longest bridge in the world over the river Ganges in Bangladesh and its a beautiful ride. the bridge approach rods, the bridge itself, is spacious and wide and smooth, reminds me of a drive in Texas. you can easily go to 90mph in Padma bridge, which is astonishing for Bangladesh.
AsSalamulykum from Rajshahi 🇧🇩🥰
I would get crazy in this city !this is crazy city !
Welcome back, bro❤
Welcome back to Bangladesh ❤❤
I recommend you to visit gulshan.its modern dhaka which called new Dhaka.
welcome to Bangladesh bro...🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Jason thank you Bangladesh tour ❤❤❤
Another excellent video,
