What's my job?
How much money do I make from KZbin?
Why do I wear a bandana?
Have I ever had food poisoning?
All that and more.
About Sonny Side:
I’m not sponsored. I’m not rich. I’m just some guy who wanted to make the type of travel videos that I would want to see. This show is completely self-funded so thanks for patiently watching that five second advertisement (and read below how you can support this channel).
I am a video director by trade. Each time I travel to a new country I bring a cameraman with me, usually a friend, to shoot as many episodes as possible in a short amount of time (usually a week). The rest of the time I’m working as a video director/videographer in Vietnam and editing the crap out of these videos.
Much love and remember, Don't Think, Just Chew.

If you see any factual food errors in my video, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments.
I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting and strange foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly MY point of view, but is not meant to offend any person or culture.

For anyone wondering, the beginning part of this video is a parody, making fun of all the youtubers that pretend to live in paradise with no cares to get views. Also, you can check out the resort here: www.christinas.vn/rooms/search/

Sonny, I love your channel so much! I recently just found you a couple weeks ago and my boyfriend and I have been binge watching your videos. The way you edit your videos and how entertaining they are makes me always come back! Funny thing is, every time we eat dinner together at home we pull up on your channel to watch more reviews! Don't ever feel discouraged! You will very soon have a huge fan base (not like you don't now), but keep doing what you're doing!

[@migfredcastillo3706]

Since I've discovered your channel, I've enjoyed watching your travels. You're respectful and a great person. I'm a big fan. And thank you and your crew for your efforts.

[@Pheorach]

I started watching your show because you were eating live octopus and that's something I was interested in doing at some point- wasn't immediately into your humor but I was drunk and couldn't help but laugh when you started popping up from behind things. I found myself watching the rest of your videos instead of studying (that's just the kind of vagrant I am) and steadily you became my absolute favorite food reviewer. You reach out to strangers and even if they don't completely understand you, I feel like that's the perfect way to make the outrageous jokes that you do. Seriously though I didn't think I was going to watch this entire video either but you've got a sneaky way of never letting the eye get bored- there's always something new to look at in each shot. PLEASE keep making videos, I'm trying to get my friends and family to watch because holy hell you deserve way more viewership than you currently have, given the quality of your videos.

[@BestEverFoodReviewShow]

Holy shit. Success story right here. Thank you sir.

[@Pheorach]

Now I'm binge-watching a LOT of your videos ( 20 x ) today ( wasn't about to click yours after watching some other channel/video ( also forgot which 1 that was ), am I glad I did ( after all, HA HA !!! )... ). :)

Your doing great Sonny thank you for taking us along on your amazing journeys across the world!

what did he actually work for tho with RM ?

[@NaiGolemiq]

Just let me tell you that I have only 4 subscriptions and one of them is your channel - I don't usually subscribe to any channels and I have watched many food related videos, but after watching 1-2 of yours I just clicked the button man - you make great stuff, not only the food reviews, but the humor and the editing - it's like how I would of made the whole video. Keep up the good work man - I'm sure it brings joy to everyone who is watching you :)

So glad to have seen someone as genuine as you (cheers to the English teachers!) make it after hard work and patience. Hope you are able to make it all over the world! PS: some guy named Rap Monster...lol if only you knew back then...

[@martinapedraza4561]

Hi Sonny, I just started watching your videos a few months ago and I got hooked. I will watch your your videos as much as I can. I binged on them yesterday and will do it again today. I love your tribal videos, especially the one with the village of women and one was caressing your arm. I liked the way the women were looking at you with their come hither look yet y ou still composed yourself as gentlemen. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

[@mrsmith4u980]

Great job Sonny! fun too see the progression you've made. I've been a fan of Zimm years ago amazing too see your take on it, love your humour.

harleymama 40 so you think this isn't a real job? sonny is doing this to make money, but the difference between him and people who "get real jobs" is that he loves what he's doing. he puts a lot of effort and spends a lot of money for his videos in the hopes of getting repaid some day. he provides good contents and entertainment, which require skills that i'm SURE you too have :)
