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 spent 2 months in Bangladesh and loved it so much!

[@md.sayedhossainnoyon]

I wish you will be visiting again soon, Brent! I too enjoy your vlogs. ❤

Brent, you need to come back, man! I've never missed a single one of your videos. You are the most honest, genuine vlogger I have ever seen in my life.

[@shafiullm]

Welcome back to Bangladesh! I remember you, one of the OGs who brought the trend of visiting and exploring Bangladesh on KZbin. I don't usually comment, but had to since I was feeling nostalgic to see you back here after 5-6 years!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Haha thanks, appreciate it!

[@juniedmohammedtazrian4122]

Yeah that's what I want say. People from foreign country don’t usually visit Bangladesh cuz its not tourism friendly country. He was the one who started the trend of visiting our country.

[@hassymiia6267]

Indeed. Credit must be given. Also maybe even a national award for recognition of foreigners contribution to showcase Bangaladesh’s image to the world.

[@foodsfromaroundtheworld]

Can you please put back your old intro with the music. Thanks for coming back to Bangladesh, the land of best curries in the world. 👍

[@nafeezislam7091]

Welcome back Jason! Watched all your vlogs from last Bangladesh series. Explore the Dhaka Metro, Expressway, Military Museum. And visit St Martin's Island in Coxs Bazar. So glad u are back!

[@dlthomas1451]

What an interesting mass of people, food, and transportation! So glad you were given an upgrade on the flight. Well deserved! Can’t wait for the next video! You’re amazing! 😊

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Thanks, I was really fortunate.

[@vlog18rodas]

I rewatched your old Bangladesh 🇧🇩 videos and waiting for the new series. Planning to be there in may. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷

Your country Bangladesh 😊

[@srafid2000]

Welcome back Jason!!! 7:22 yes, Dhaka is getting a new terminal (the third terminal) just to the south of the current airport, which will be bigger and modern than old airport. I understand your disappointment about the service at the airport, even locals are not happy about it. So we are hoping for improved service in the new terminal in the future.

[@JasonBillamTravel]

That’s great news. I’m sure it’ll be good.

[@hanifhussain6031]

​ how long are staying in Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@Kazim28]

@@JasonBillamTravel yeah, it's expected to be similar to Bangkok Airport in terms of service, also did you check out the new metro rail? Enjoy your content very much

[@onelifepassport]

Bro! Glad to see you are back! Love watching your channel! This makes me want to Visit and spend a month Filming all of Bangladesh After The Philippines! looks absolutely insane and hectic haha Enjoy!

Welcome again Bangladesh❤🇧🇩

[@mahfujurrahman8057]

Jason you were one of the first travel vloggers that travelled all over Bangladesh covered so many cites and town after you so many vloggers have come and gone but you seem like one of us who made it possible for rest to follow. Welcome back to the Golden Land I hope you enjoy your stay! Do travel on the metro rail! In Dhaka

[@samesamevic]

Never been to Bangladesh yet, but definitely can't wait to go film there some day! People seem so friendly and hospitable, thanks for the inspiring video man!

[@girlsontheloose1]

We haven’t been to Bangladesh yet, but it’s high on our list. Great video!

[@torvalderiksson7921]

Welcome back with your fantastic travels Dear Jason!

[@theverticalline9471]

welcome back to 🇧🇩

[@QuaziDLuffy]

the og has returned lets goo i was in highschool the last time you were uploading bangladesh videos now im in university you are in here again can you believe it

[@iftekharahmed6104]

Glad that you're having a good time in Bangladesh. This time, along with trying out the newly built metro system in Dhaka, you might want to visit Rajshahi, which is considered one of the cleanest cities in Asia(and it's waaaay less crowded than many of the other cities in Bangladesh). Safe travels!

[@dexter3943]

Hi jason welcome back again i have watched literally all the videos from the last time can't believe 6 year passed by since then awy hoping to see some good videos i hope you stay long enough to explore the places you didn't visit last time best of luck ❤️

[@RuePhoto]

Thanks Jason 😊 This is the first time I've ever typed anything under your videos & after watching many of your vlogs since 2020 including all your Bangladesh episodes, you were one of my influences to help me get back into vlogging as I had so much free time what with the pandemic! I was intrigued by the fact that very few vloggers visited the country back then & as well yours I caught all of Indigo Traveller's vlogs from both his visits. In the last two years Bangladesh has skyrocketed with popularity from the likes of Gabriel Traveler, Luke Damant, Dodo Explorers, Harry Jaggard, Bald & Bankrupt, Backpacker Ben, Sun Kissed Bucket List, Doug Bernard, Dabble & Travel, Carrie Patsalis, & "myself" (lol!) to name but a few! By the way I'm a Chester lad but of Bangladeshi origin from the Sylhet region & have been lucky enough to have a "No Visa Required" stamp in HM's passport so I was sorry to hear of the strife you'd encountered at the airport & I too encountered some which I vlogged about in my final Bangladesh 2022 vlog as I was leaving the country. If you're looking for a suggestion for something interesting & new, may I suggest the brand new Dhaka Metro? The first stage of it opened at the end of 2022 & the main line is more or less fully opened for the last couple of weeks. My Bangladesh vlog series for 2023 has maybe a couple of episodes left as I spent 6 weeks the before Christmas just gone, so I covered the Metro including a ride on a double decker bus to catch it from House Building in Uttara! Enjoy your stay & have an amazing weekend my friend 🤗

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Thank you taking the time to write such a personal (and first) comment, it was nice to read. I think the Dhaka Metro will be worth checking out. Safe travels!

[@RuePhoto]

@@JasonBillamTravel Thanks Jason for taking the time out to reply as you have to contend with hundreds of comments, if not thousands! 😊 My penultimate Bangladesh vlog which is out later will showcase the metro once more from the other side. Have an amazing week my friend 🤗

[@AshrafAli-is4wv]

The dhaka new terminal 3 is nearly finished it'll open within a year. Hopefully airport chaos will be sorted.

[@AymanAmirOfficial]

Oh wow! Welcome again. Enjoy your stay/trip.

[@Jpkjr52]

Welcome back What a busy place Thanks again John in

[@mahfuzurrahman3920]

HI Jason! Good to see you back after 6 years! And also sad knowing the problem at the airport regarding wifi, visa, poor management you faced. The airport authority has extended the airport by building a third terminal but it is yet to go into operation. Last time I saw that a Bangladeshi mobile operator connection is needed to get connected with the airport wifi, which is quite ridicules. Probably it’s not changed yet. Happy to see that you are enjoying our hospitality. Happy traveling!

[@architectemon739]

Watched all of your videos , welcome back hope it will go well in BD

[@scottc4598]

I really enjoyed your videos from your last Bangladesh trip. Looking forward to this trip. Would love to get there myself soon. Enjoy.

[@khanmdovi1]

Goodness me,, how are you Jason, you are the most talented KZbinr and you are so kind enough too. I am from Dhaka but I live in Portugal. Definitely one day I will meet with you. Once you said one of your vedio Bangladesh is the most hospitable country for foreigners and it's true. Good luck brother.

Nice Business Class upgrade! Treating the airline staff with kindness and compassion goes a long way, plus it doesn’t cost you anything!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

So few people seem to do it, I don’t know why airport staff get such a hard time. Politeness goes even further with them.

Jason, I am so glad that you are back in my country. I cannot express my joy in words. When I saw the thumbnail I instantly put a smile on my face. By the way I recommend you to try out the new metro rail in Dhaka. Last time you were in Dhaka you didn't get it. Also you can try the Bangabandhu tunnel in Chattogram.
