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). I began 2024 by revisiting Bangladesh and India.
#mumbai #india #travelvlog
One can see the joy and the love on your face that you have for Mumbai! Love You, Jason! 😘
I love how you captured the vibrant energy of Mumbai! The mix of historic sites and modern vibes makes it such a unique city. Did you get to try any street food favorites?
India has lots to offer from mountains beaches to historic monuments.. And above all spicy tasty food😊
dangerous - shit as hell ........
Jason, I think Mumbai has a distinctive culture, history and architecture as!
Asia's 1st stock exchange is here. Mumbai is strictly capitalist hence westerners find it easy to blend.
Totally different from rest of India
Always enjoy watching your video Jase! Thank you for sharing!
Im visiting Mumbai on december! Its gonna be amazing!
Welcome to India 🇮🇳🇮🇳
In another 10 years, China will catch up with India, love from China.
Great content thank you
Hey man, dk if you're aware but Mumbai is currently undergoing an entire mega transformation with massive infrastructure projects under construction all at once, which you would've noticed in the city, and which may seem a bit chaotic now, but in 5-10 years, trust me this city will be up there with the best .. Just read about the scale of development happening here, cheers..
That’s good to know - it’s already changed a lot from my previous visit. Exciting times.
Please clean the streets. First focus on clean then mega or giga infrastructure!

Without India Bangladesh can't survive. If anything Bangladesh grows become of India other wise it's a Poverty stricken country.
Many of you people live in our country like Kolkata or Delhi or Mumbai to make a living.
@@anikm111
If Bangladesh is developing then why so many hungry people in the streets of Dhaka and many of you people live in India to make a living.
@@Roy1-ub9ij India sucks 🤢
Bombay city ..cricket..and English langevage are three greatest gifts from Britishers ..
Love from India
Excellent, can't wait for the next adventure
you captured mumbai beautifully
Fantastisk Jason. Thank you for your videos. Hello from Finland.
Thanks for sharing, Jason; makes me miss my time there when I visited some years ago. I always find your videos to be informative and insightful. Well done.
Shame your videos aren't getting the level of views that they deserve. Must be UA-cam algorithms of something.
Keep it going Jason 👍
Welcome to India brother
Great video just completed watching it
Ohhhh Elephanta caves looks great! The craftsmanship of the stone masons👍
I am a Kolkatan working in Mumbai, the quality that makes Mumbai better than any other city in India is it's great business-friendly nature that leads to job creation, the good work ethics, no communist labour unions (unlike Kolkata), having decent climate and air quality (unlike Delhi), a nationalist local population and the grace of the Gods
welcome to my city mumbai india,s most vibrant and happening city and the powerful financial capital of our country mumbai is the only city were you have a robust 24 /7 public transport and the safest city in india for women and tourists
Places to eat at in Mumbai:
*1. Elco Pani puri - (area - Bandra west in Mumbai)* -
One of the best Pani puris in town. Very clean & hygienic. They use bottled mineral water to make these. So very safe to eat Pani Puris at this place.
*2. Sardar Pav Bhaaji - (area - Tardeo in Mumbai)* -
The best and the most buttery Paav Bhaaji on Planet Earth.
*3. Bade Miyan - Late night place - is open till 3 am or so (area - near Taj hotel & the Gate way of India in Mumbai)*
A late night place, patrons eat in their cars, but has a seating area as well. Famous for their wraps, Tikkas, Tandooris & barbecued stuff.
*4. Leopold Cafe (area - Colaba causeway in Mumbai)* - Nice beer, barbecues, nice desserts.

Have been living in this city for sometime now , none of the big cities of India r really that good , Mumbai could have been a great city but indias population explotion has hit the city hard, there is hardly any place ,small rooms costs huge ,ppl stand over each other to travel , its a helpless situation.
So true. Once upon a time Mumbai used to be good but not anymore .
India is growing rapidly and has the best economy in Asia. Proud to be Indian!
Wow, so prosperous, China will not be able to catch up with India in another 10 years. I wish your brother a great country and love from China.
@@jiuge123 China is a child of Indian civilization. China got bhudism, gunpowder, momos, martial arts from India. Also the name China came from ancient Sanskrit word "Cina". China is now forever indebted to India.
Beautiful Jason😊. You covered most of things.
I know it sounds like a cliche, but the spirit and culture is what makes Mumbai special
Beautiful city of India ❤
you are such a nice man. you are such a good reporter,
I get the same feeling when I visit Mumbai. I always stay close to Churchgate or Marine Drive.
1 week ago I was there in Mumbai for vacation when you recorded this vlog
I 💙 Mumbai City of Dreams & welcome 2 India 🇮🇳 friend.
So good to see you in Mumbai
Welcome to Mumbai maharashtra
Great city!
Make train vlogs it will attract more subscribers.Happy journey
Jason I was on work assignments in Mumbai in 1984 (Bombay at that time), and I saw more of the actual city in your video than I was able to see during my time there. It’s more beautiful than I remember. Greetings from Arizona, US.
I’m sure it’s changed a bit - apart from the old buildings!
Been there once. Really enjoyed it. Want to go back. What you show is what I saw. Great to revisit.
It’s really charming
Jason Billam, you said you're flying back to the UK tomorrow morning?
Love from India
Mumbai is definitely a very interesting city. However I believe it is probably also a very intense and super hectic city to travel because of extreme traffic, dangerous driving everywhere you look, overcrowding (both with people and buildings), and pollution. I’m curious to know why Mumbai was your favourite Indian city instead of more relaxed Indian cities like Goa, Shimla, or even Madurai?
Jason try to visit Iloilo City philippines and their delicacies biscocho haus and bong bong's. And visit Boracay Philippines
My favorite city ❤
It looks lovely
Amazing views❤ subscribe uh immediately after watching this vlog
HEY BRO VISIT PUNE IF YOU ARE IN MUMBAI, PUNE IS VERY CLOSE TO MUMBAI SO DO VISIT. 🥰🇮🇳🥰🥰
where Indian love from India
you have missed the Kailasa temple in Ellora Caves in maharashtra greatest architecture of human history
Impressive Thanks again John in Chicago
End of the video With Royal Tallis look delicious 😋
13:08 😂😂
India 🇮🇳 it is very good
id love to be the guy selling backpacks
Hi Jason. I rewatched some of your vids from 7 yrs ago - you were so baby faced then. Lol. I think it's great that you returned to that place where you had that delicious-looking thali. Very nostalgic.
Would you consider Mumbai as safe for solo female travellers, in your opinion? (some places in India aren't safe, esp for female travellers)
I think it’s safe for solo females - there’s a lot of liberal-minded people living in the city - it is the home of some of India’s richest/Bollywood after all. I saw a lot of women wandering around in shorts, seems more relaxed compared to other parts of India. Of course, you need to keep in mind the neighbourhood you’re in.
@@JasonBillamTravel thanks for the reply & info! Safe travels.
@@kitty_s23456Mumbai is safe for solo female travel but please be safe and avoid travelling late night in lonely streets!
Amazing!
Mumbai gets a lot of hate but I personally love it.
love from Bangladesh
Hope you enjoying the heat wave in india i never thought i will exprience a such heat in my life
Thankfully I just missed it!
On contrary all northern himalayan and north eastern hill states of india are witnessing heavy snowfall, landslide and rainfall. That's how geographically diverse country is india. Hence choosing destinations and seasons while traveling any country is vital and important part of tour iteniary.
Nice video can you tell me the hotel name you stayed in mumbai
My favorite in 20240 is Alanya
Must visit panchmarhi hill station in madhya pradesh 🙌. Most of the foreigners waste their time in boring cities . Hope you Explore new places .
foreigners call the this land India but original name is Bharat for more than 5000 years. Indians when talking in other Indian languages than English they say Bharat. India name was given by greeks 2300 years ago made official by British during their rule. after British were gone both India and Bharat name were made official. India does not mean anything but Bharat has deep meaning.
"Bharata" literally means: "Bha" for bhava(sensation) - the experience of life, "Ra" for raga(tune) - the tune of life, and "Ta" for tala(rhythm) - the rhythm of life. If you find the right rhythm, life happens beautifully. If you miss the rhythm, you get crushed by the process of life.
Bharat - A place where emotions are in tune with rhythm of life.
😊❤
boondi not chicpeas at the diverse puri place
🫣😳Jason in traffic again!😲🙈
Where are you from
28 state 8 union territory please do visit other states also❤

I thought that you would have learned to say these places correctly.
The pavement and guardrails look like antiques that haven't been washed in hundreds of years. Where did all their taxpayer money go?
MR. JASSON billiam come to Bangalore
every tourist wants to come to mumbai india,s most vibrant and happening city got it apart from goa mumbai is the only city were you find hundreds of tourists from western countries on the streets go to colaba causeway you will know got it

Mumbai is awesome but i can't travel by crowded local train.
I'll take Darjeeling over Mumbai any day.
