I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and YouTuber 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 YouTuber, 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 and Mongolia.

my favorite youtube traveler by far Jason no annoying selfies or cartoonish thumbnails always treat the people and cultures with respect and dignity. Thank you

[thegoomaral]

As a Mongolian living the US, I am finding this video SO special, heartwarming and very informative to be quite honest. There are many parts in this video where I go "oh wow, I didn't even know this!" because wow you did an amazing job learning about the culture and the history of our country. Well done!! Your content quality is great too. SUBSCRIBED! Will be waiting for the next part of your Mongolian trip :)

[perrinvalentin]

My favorite traveling channel on YouTube. I like the fact you don't only go to very touristic places and show us the other sides of a country and every details of your trip.
As a non English speaker i truly appreciate your way of talking.
Thank you for your amazing job Jason. From France

I am travelling back to Mongolia to discover in May and can't wait to go back to see how much it has changed, I used to live there back in 2001 when I worked for MIAT and I remember the country wasn't this modern, also I briefly stopped over rin UB the capital during 2015 when I was doing my Trans siberian trip from Beijing to Moscow - Mongolia is always so close to my heart cus it was my first country I worked at the age oof 22 .

[davisurdaneta]

You never disappoint us Jason. I was just googling about Mongolia yesterday and how to travel there, then there you are with this great Vlog. Cheers!

[baburam]

I did not expect Ulaan Batar to be so modern, very impressive. Thank you for sharing this. I am intrigued to visit now.

[jackquentin]

I absolutely love your presentation. You seem very respectful and you're not excessively noisy lol. Just the channel I was looking for.

Hey all, show some love for Mongolia - let’s see if we can hit 1k likes on this video!

You do a very winderful job of showing both sides of Mongolia, your narrative is clear and understandable. The respect you show comes across very clearly. Wonderful job, i look forward to your out bound trip into the heartland of Mongolia. Thx

[TemuulTK]

This incredible. I am a Mongolian Brit now living in London. Thank you for this beautiful video. Local people speak special young people speak good English. You should also make a video interviewing some local people. Perhaps ask about the UK if they got knowledge about the country. 💕

I spent a month in the Gobi Desert in Mongolia followed by a week in Ulaan Bataar back in 2018. The city in current form looks so much different from I experienced in 2018. Really nice content

I can relate to the taxi app and the language barrier can be a challenge when the driver tries to call you. What I usually do in that situation is approach any local near to me and hand them directly my phone so they can talk to the driver, that's when the person realises that I need help. It works well for me in most cases, though I'm careful to whom I give my phone. I've used that strategy in Armenia, and many other countries. One thing I've learned in my travels is that locals are extremely helpful despite the language barrier :)

Nice video, Jason! A colleague of mine had a work secondment in Mongolia for a few months. His photos were nothing like I imagined they would be. What an interesting place! These videos give a great insight into part of the world few of us in the West know about.

[marketingwizdom]

Jason, you are evidently a very good researcher. These are among the most informed and informative videos I’ve seen on Mongolia … and I speak as someone who is married to a very well known Mongolian

[anunknownknown]

Well done! My niece I coming home from work assignment in Mongolia. This video will help me converse with her more intelligently about this beautiful place. Thank you!

[ugiemunkh]

Hey there from Mongolia!

Great job on spreading the knowledge about Mongolia and showcasing these awesome and must-see spots for tourists in the capital. But you know what would make it even better?
A traditional Mongolian CONCERT. It's a chance to dive into Mongolia's vibrant culture with cool dances, amazing music, and catchy different types of songs. Trust me, it's totally worth checking out and can be a memorable experience not to be missed.

Anyway, good luck.

Hi. It was the 'back to school' week. That's why you saw so many young people on the street and they had the restriction with the licence plates to reduce traffic

[vincentdanielsson]

I like this country so much. That is one of me favorite countrys. They have a intreresting culture with good music and exciting dishes. If some of you want to listen to mongolian music i can recommed some artists if you are corious? I hope that i get to visit Mongolia sometime. The person who own this channel is a very good guide and presents it in an exiticting way I think

[craigadams]

That food looks delish! The sounds of the chants must have been both exhilarating and relaxing. Pleased that you are there and filming your adventures for us. I'm from the US and will probably never make it there but thanks to you I get to be an armchair traveler. Still hoping you make it to New Zealand at some point. That is on my travel agenda.🤞

[lgxqtgo]

Woow🎉. That's really cool travelling bro! Mongolia is such a nomadic and extremely interesting country ❤
