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).

What a lovely place and beautiful people. The voices you can hear outside of the prayer times are of people learning the Qur'an. This is pengajian. When you get someone with a melodic voice, it really is beautiful. Thanks for posting one of my favourite places to visit.

[@TrainLordJC]

Jason, we have communicated before since I first saw your videos in the Sahara Desert in Tunisia where I visited as a traveller in 1973. Two years later after having hitch hiked all over Europe and as a Dutch Australian I left Holland in January 1975 and spent a year travelling overland along the hippie trail back to Australia. Along the way I was advised to go to Lake Toba to hang out on the island and rest and recuperate before travelling the full length of Sumatra and Java etc but having run out of money I never achieved this dream. And now being aware of geology and the history of the supervolcano eruption of Lake Toba 74,000 years ago you have reinspired me to go there, now as a 72 year old, following your videos. I would suggest that you find out more of this spectacular eruption for you to appreciate even more your proposed visit to Lake Toba and Samosir Island and to stay in one of the long houses there. Btw I am also inspired to travel Japan and to follow your videos especially Kyoto and the temples and forests during the autumn leaves colour season next year. Your videos are absolutely wonderful. I watch them all. Good luck with your future travels.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

I’ve always enjoyed reading your detailed comments over the years. It’s a shame you couldn’t fit in Sumatra and Java but there’s still time. Yes, the history of the eruption is worth investigating and telling - something I will aim to do. Japan (especially Kyoto) is beautiful, and I’m sure you’ll have a memorable time there.

Great. One of the first places I travelled to alone to in 1994. Came by boat from Penang! Nice to see the difference 30 years later. Sumatra is so nice and interesting. Berastagi and Lake Toba are must visit places.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Wow, now that’s a way to arrive. I wonder if it’s still possible to do that today? Thanks for the recommendations. Lake Toba is a certainty - I’ll look into Berastagi.

You can travel to Medan by boat from Batam, which is just south of Singapore. The journey takes 26 hrs or so and is really a slice of life. Can also take boats from Melaka and Port Dickson to Dumai.

[@iamin03]

Medan is a very interesting city, we loved it when we visited. Please visit Lake Toba, Bukittinggi (Fort DeKock, Hatta Musuem birthplace of the Vice President of Indonesian). We went white water rafting in Pagaralam, also there is trekking at Pagaralam neat Mount Dempo, Palembang was a nice city and don't forget Bandar Lampung. Getting to Pagaralam was a bit difficult because its not a big city and not too many buses used to go there. If you can't make it to the south, try to visit Bukittinggi, Padang and the surrounding areas of Lake Toba. There is a waterfall worth visiting although getting around, you will probably need to hire a motorbike. Roads were a bit rough as well. Anyway, loved your video as always. Love & respect from Bangladesh.

Wow, if you are a food lover to Indonesia the right choice because Indonesia has more than 5000 traditional foods and with an area of about 1.9 million km, 700 more languages and thousands more cultures, and with thousands of megalithic places before Christ, I hope you not only go to Sumatra but explore other islands also not only to Bali, there are so many incredible natural landscapes in Indonesia even snowy places. And I would like to give some references to KZbin channels of foreigners living in Indonesia who might be able to help your trip (Kristian Hansen, Sam Indowild, the Lost Boys, Bule Bolang, Gypsy in Sneakers, Laurence Benson, Buaya barat, scoopy gang, Bags Packed Family) actually still quite a lot but this in my opinion is enough and one of them is from England too.

So nice to see you in Medan a city I have lived in pre tsunami. The Tip Top was my fave resto with it's old charm as you mentioned. There used to be a night market on that street too. I lived in Banda Aceh the Grand Mosque is better there, so you will enjoy it. Make sure you go the beach area of Lhok Nga and visit Joels Bungalows on a fantastic beach. Joel used to live in Italy and speaks perfect English. Lake Toba is cool and so is Bukit Lawang for the orangutangs. If you want to go somewhere remote try Simeulue Island (where I built the first beach resort), Banyak Islands, Nias and the Mentawai Islands. Most tourists are surfers as Sumatra has the best surfing spots in the world. Salamat Jalan

The next Labuan Bajo or Komodo Island Indonesia

[@simpleman6327]

Looking forward to your culinary adventure. Medan is the melting pot of Batak, Karo, Malay, Chinese, Tamil, Javanese, etc. You will be spoiled with choices.

But most melting to the same thing, no?

[@simpleman6327]

@@Samual.adis.Najmani no. There is a Little India street in Medan. Chinese presence is also visible.

PLEASE DON'T SKIP LAKE TOBA while you're in North Sumatera. You'll be amazed! North Sumatera, Aceh, and West Sumatera are rich in nature and culture. They're heavens of Sumatera. So, if you have time, please continue your journey to the West Sumatera. Anyway, despite the grand mosque you saw and the Moslem girls you met, North Sumatera is actually home to many Christians. Most Bataknese are Christians, but yes there is Moslem Bataknese and Karo. North Sumatera is one of few provinces in Indonesia where pork are widely spread and served.

What about rest of Sumatra?
