I take the fast ferry from Banda Aceh to Pulau Weh, a beautiful and quiet tropical island in the very north of Sumatra, Indonesia.

I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and KZbinr 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 KZbinr, 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 first heard of Banda Aceh because of the 2004 Tsunami..it looks better now after the devastation two decades ago..appreciate Jason for always showcasing these rehabilitated places..🍺

[@simonyang-pe3ux]

The scenery is so beautiful especially during the sun goes down

[@Bapack_bapack_kepo]

you travel like local people by ferry, that's what we do to get from one place to another in Indonesia. 😀👍👍👍

[@uqbachradivfauzan5356]

So peaceful

[@miczayats94]

What a spectacular view during the sunset! 🌅

[@wakyubi]

Amazing place

[@TheSwede70]

Wow Jason, I can see now what I missed back in the 90's. This is the kind of place that travellers like you will discover just because you are willing to go outside the beaten path. So nostalgic to look back and thinking about times with these "higher than expectation"-experiences. 🙂

[@JasonBillamTravel]

It was certainly worth going up to Aceh to find this island!

[@LinzYoutube]

Hi Jason! i must tell you that my boyfriend and I love the way that you capture and romanticize the beauty of the landscapes that you are surrounded by. Your appreciation for the gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, beautiful skies, waters, civilizations, and architecture. It's beautifully done and such a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing! Much love from Winnipeg, Canada! P.S. We especially love your Egypt and Algeria vlogs, we have watched them multiple times.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Hey, thank you for the nice words! It’s nice to hear that you like the style and take interest in the same things I’m passionate about sharing. Safe travels!

[@danielvalenzuela9764]

Hey there Jason. Such a peaceful place. And a beautiful sunset. I could hear the birds and bugs. Enjoy your peaceful surroundings 18:41

[@Slykkpkins]

Well done to explain, such a peaceful getaway island.

[@tukangkomen2980]

amazing island

[@30minutesescapes]

Fantastic places! How many wonderful inspirations for our relaxing video screensavers.

[@Yadh.Alfakhri]

Thank you Jason for making a video in my village, guys...if you want to visit, please let me know. I will be happy to help 🥰

[@novaajiadi5626]

[@larrytahner3717]

Very fascinating to learn/see so much about such very unique places in this world! You're a very fortunate person Jason!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Glad to hear it. Yeah, I’ve been lucky to see and experience so many beautiful places since I’ve been doing KZbin.

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Very interesting.

[@AndriasEkoWicaksono]

wow, just an amazing view sunset, can't wait to watch your more videos traveling around Sumatra, Java, and Bali, regards from Semarang Central Java

[@princeali2555]

The Bungalow is AWESOME !!! aw man I wish I was there !

[@JauneMacReady]

Absolutely amazing! ❤ Great video ❤️👍😃

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Cheers!

[@Quietstatus525]

Hi today I first and new subscriber

[@dlthomas1451]

Another wonderful video. Thanks for sharing places that we will never be able to visit!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dianach-fl7fw]

After watching two of your own videos I immediately subscribed to your channel Nice 👍

[@anipudji599]

When the tsunami occurred in Aceh, Pulau Weh was only slightly affected so I can still breathe a sigh of relief to this day

[@albertfliknop7838]

Enjoy my Homeland Sumatra from north to south my friend 👍😄

[@SN-vw9ln]

Indonesia seems so friendly, calm and relaxing. Jason, thank you for your videos with a lot of real sound of cities and nature. I have watched absolutely all of your videos from all of the countries you visited. It's really enjoying to follow your channel

[@JasonBillamTravel]

That’s cool to know, thank you!

[@TANOH_BLANG]

terimakasih kawan sudah berkunjung ke Aceh salam dari aceh🙏🙏

[@55jhjhjkjk]

Jason you certainly were an exotic appearance on that ferry 🙂....so great you brought us to this place !!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

As far as I saw I was the only foreigner on there

[@AbulBasar-do4de]

Jason I have been your fan since you came to Bangladesh.5 years ago🇧🇩

[@triratnawati6490]

Hello Jason..welcome to Weh Island, Sabang , Aceh Province, Indonesia. Enjoy the beauty of Titik O Kilometer (zero kilometre point). Thanks so much for visiting Tropical Indonesia with its spicy dishes 😅😅 take care..

[@pocutintandaybon7909]

Terimakasih sudah berkunjung ke sabang Aceh jasoen❤

[@MickyAM]

This brings back memories 😊 did the same trip in 2019. After arriving had to wait almost an hour to get a taxi to the hotel 😂 part of the fun.

[@ncofye]

That sunset view..... magnificent...😮 I've been to Lombok Indonesia two weeks ago for 6 days vacation. Looking forward also to visit medan and Aceh soon. Very informative video. Kudos.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

It was beautiful. I’ve still not been to Lombok!

[@leahalexander1216]

I heard about the volcano eruption elsewhere on Sumatra. Stay safe!

[@sharonjanethague7181]

Beautiful sunset. And thanks for the great tsunami tip! I live in an area which is vulnerable to that type of occurrence.

[@susanjoy1501]

Just came back from Pula Weh well worth visiting

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Glad you had a great time!

[@simpangempat1864]

Thanks for u show of Sabang island of Weh. Nex time you can go to Singapore to Tioman Island by Ferry. Be ware be happy!

[@craigadams4143]

You are so correct on sunsets. I live in the mtns of Western North Carolina (U.S.A.) and my deck faces the sunset each day. The most cloudy and rainy of days can bring on a beautiful sunset and a beautiful sunny day can bring on a mundane and very uneventful sunset.💯🎯✅👍🙌

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Glad you agree!

[@wanderlustasia]

Nice one Jason I haven't been to Weh for around 20 years. Some nice diving up on the north coast and there used to be a great Chinese family restaurant in Sabang town that only sold one dish " Mie Kocok" and it was delicious. Always full too. Enjoy and hope you make it down to Bukit Lawang and Lake Toba

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Definitely going to hit those two places!

[@pedrapgwilym1341]

You make some great content about places, transport and nature, Jason but it would be great to see you engage with the locals a bit more.

[@anipudji599]

As an Acehnese (even though I don't have Acehnese blood) I want to see Weh Island develop even more rapidly

[@nn861]

I think hotel at sumur tiga beach hv a more best view,and near to sabang city,try octopus skewers,noodle aceh

[@sirincocuk01]

❤

[@nielsrosink5051]

That face when telling us your seatnumber😂

[@parkash9999]

Amazing sunset view. ❤❤ Have you visited Siem Reap, Cambodia and other places there? What's your thoughts?

[@JasonBillamTravel]

I’ve been to Siem Reap - I have a series of videos from Cambodia actually (albeit a bit older now). It’s an interesting place where the weird and wonderful all come together in a touristy and bold way because of the obvious attraction nearby. Loud bars and street food bugs. Not sure if I love it.

[@Intanintana-zb5xm]

[@mariaperea9949]

[@RoyalZulu]

You should go to Bukittinggi, West Sumatra

[@JasonBillamTravel]

I’d love to, so many places to see in Sumatra.

[@spitfirered]

❤❤💯💯👏👏👍👍

สวัสดีค่ะ

[@craigadams4143]

PS....enjoy that hammock!!!!

[@SaskiaStange]

ím watching all your Videos from Sumatra now because i‘m planning a long trip to this island end of the year. I know it‘s the rainy season in December and January but i want to travel Sumatra at this time. Can you recommend it during the rainy season?

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Honestly, I can. It wasn’t that bad for me.

[@bianc376]

Go to Belitung islands

[@Delightfulday-dz4md]

สวัสดี

[@sharifislam4000]

I will meet u if u come Singapore 😊

[@sriwatirahayu2203]

Seems you stayed not in the tourist popular spots of Weh island

[@sharifislam4000]

Come Singapore bro ❤

[@angel91485]

he's been there already.

[@dinop5857]

If you see a tsunami coming, you need to get high 😃I'll keep it in mind

[@princeali2555]

Wait a second no tigers in that jungle? I would be so scared by myself on that lonely road - do they have 911 or emergency police nearby ?

[@IDMarketer]

Tiger only in aceh sumatra mainland, and aceh province is one of the least criminal province in indonesia right now, so no worry. Call 112 for emergency.

[@princeali2555]

@@IDMarketer I have cousins and family in Pakistan and their emergency response is horrible - you are better off just suffering than to have Pak police help you LOL

[@IDMarketer]

@@princeali2555 idk how the PAK situation thought, but i think indonesia emergency response is good but not the best

[@honestyfirst2165]

​@@princeali2555unfortunately that is the situation in most of the global south countries.

[@davidhumphrey2593]

Hmmm seat 069... well at least it's not seat no. 404 in China!! 😧😧

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Haha, that would be a bad omen..

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

Over 25 quid a night! they don't take any prisoners!, 5 quid for a 30 minute taxi, there is a big problem with this place.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

It’s worth it in my opinion. The bungalow is very spacious, the views are unbelievable, and you’d pay that price for just a hostel bed in many countries like Japan or Western Europe for example.

[@rickyp6815]

@@JasonBillamTravel Bit pricey by Indonesian standards though.

[@wilburbonzo]

If a western female like me travelled to Banda Aceh would I have to wear a hijab?

[@infoperang2664]

You can wear loose clothes but not bikini. Modest cloth only

[@malikahmad8170]

Even in stricter Muslim countries, hijab is not compulsory for western ladies as long as they wear modest dress. The local courts here in USA have disallowed tank tops, sleeveless shirts, yoga paints and and no hats for men and many restaurants would not serve you if you do not have ‘shoes and shirts’.
