I'm Jason, a full-time British Traveller.

I have filmed a travel series in many of the world's best (and least) known destinations. I started my channel in the summer of 2016 after spending a year living in China, followed by a solo trip to Eastern Europe after graduating from university.

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.

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.

In 2023 I finally visited Paris, before heading over to Qatar for a few days. I went onwards to India, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Mongolia, Thailand and Sumatra (Indonesia). I began 2024 by revisiting Bangladesh, India and Turkey.

Been there in 2005, the silk road cities of Uzbekistan are just simply marvelous. A very underrated country that manages to escape from mass tourism.

You’re doing an amazing job showcasing the true beauty of Uzbekistan, and I couldn’t help but subscribe to your channel. Your videos not only capture the heart of this country but also inspire others to see its richness. I’m so proud of what you’re sharing, and I make sure to share your videos everywhere because they deserve to be seen by everyone.

17:20 Actually there is no any historical evidance of leaving piles of skulls by Amir Temur. The painting you have showed is called "The Apotheosis of War", it was made by Russian war artist Vasily Vereshchagin in 1871. On the painting the Samarkand city's walls are visible, it may be a reference to the Siege of Samarkand in the summer of 1868 in which the Russian garrison repulsed a Bukhara Emirate advance. On the work's frame, Vereshchagin inscribed that he dedicated the painting "to all great conquerors, past, present and to come".

As always a great video. Loved your video on Samarkand. Love all of your videos and travels.
