I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and KZbinr who's been to 60 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 the south of India.

Oh man!! Jason, your latest video brought back so many memories from my last trip to India - cramming me and my bag into a night sleeper bus with no toilet, and also getting sick while travelling alone… It was tough at times, but I love India… It’s the most intense travel I’ve ever experienced… and I can’t wait to be back again in a few weeks time. Hope you’re feeling better!

[@humanityisbizarre6760]

At least you all tell it like it is. When immigration from India first started arriving in Canada in the 1970's the Indians were acting like they were the new owners of Canada, were arrogantly mouthing off about how great they were, were beating each other up outside their newly built temples, were chasing Euro-Canadian teen-age girls down the street for forced sex and telling Canadians that the Indians came from the GREATEST society and nation on earth. Few of the Indians had much education or money though, but they all knew how to "stick together" as a Patriotic Indian social force.......... something most dumb Canadians are not very good at...........

[@kirtigupta9753]

Hmm. Buses have rest stops where you can relieve yourselves.

[@BobI-jb4rk]

Love that you have the balls to go on extreme adventures and travel as a local. Thanks for sharing the good and not so great experiences. Feel better soon!

[@humanityisbizarre6760]

Is courage and intrepidation and intelligence ALWAYS measured by how much MALE HORMONE TESTOSTERONE one has, or is perceived to have? Or is that just a trendy hyper-sexualized "FAD" of today's population on this joke-forum called the internet, by a "millenial" generation continually bombarded by gay/trans Leftist Western news-media propaganda who do NOT remember the countless millions of people who have died in senseless wars, colonial conquerment or racial / religious enslavement throughout history and especially before 1918 and instigated / implemented totally by MEN who somehow thought they had "BIG BALLS"???

[@FeelKoreaTV]

India is worth travel. I've bee to India 3 times. I am going to visit again definitely. 꿈의 여행지 인디아 꼭 다시 간다. 기다려라

[@ricardomadrid7581]

Love your videos Jason!! Please take care of yourself, lots of rest, and plenty of fluids!! Looking forward to your next video!! Feel better soon, mate, cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

[@mihir1405]

Tamil Nadu's best places to visit are Madurai, Mamallapuram, Kanchipuram, Thanjavur, Rameswaram, Ooty .

[@bennyjoyson8384]

Dosa washed down with filter coffee... man I love it..😋

[@naima1049]

Mashallah I love India from algeria❤ 🇩🇿

[@sunny-mo1zy]

there Mamallapuram(Mahabalipuram) and Kanchipuram close to Chennai. Mamallapuram is the most visited place by foreign tourist in India in 2022 much more than white marble World wonder. seems like finally foreigners starting to see the true beauty of India. maybe it is time foreign vloggers visit those places too🙏🙏

[@johnnici1573]

Take care of yourself, Jason. The last thing we want is something bad to happen to you. I'm glad you took some time for recuperation. You should try that once in a while just because.

[@eddie_d1233]

The things we do to join you on your travels from the comforts of my apartment with everything I need at hand. Thank you so much.

[@elnovato1741]

love the background music of your videos. It is awesome indeed.

[@amedeovivaldi6561]

Jason, you are fantastic at choosing music!

[@danielvalenzuela9764]

Wow thanks for such great video. Down to earth. And glad you were seen by doctor. It looked like an exciting journey to get there and it sure is a nice hotel good luck see u soon ol chap from a Hispanic in Tucson Arizona

[@SharingTravelMoments]

Hi Jason, fellow Brit here, have been watching your videos for many years, and recently took inspiration from you to start my own travel channel, I travelled India 25 years ago and am planning a return, and hope to make my videos something that people will like. Keep up the good work

[@naughtypotato5243]

Summer's hitting the plains so it's not a great time to visit the Golden triangle as it can be unbearably hot.. It would be better if u travel to cooler places like hill stations like Ooty, Munnar or Jammu Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand or the Northeast Just a suggestion 😊

[@SharingTravelMoments]

@@naughtypotato5243 Thanks much appreciated

[@humanbeing3337]

Love the background music you include in perfect moderation and placement. If it’s not too much to ask, would you include the artists and song titles in the description ?

[@nondajeevi5036]

Thanks, take care!

[@JasonBillamTravel]

Thank you, that’s very kind!

[@JamesBrown-ij1px]

You have enriched my life beyond measure. We are always with you in the good times as well as the bad. We all wish you good health and healing through all of your journeys. 🙏

[@TravelwithRoel]

[@trameshbabu43]

To keep laguage separate areas provided. U must ask driver so u can sleep with comfortable

[@RaimondoKeliones]

Love your videos!

[@zalanahara270]

I like the new thumbnail designs created for the vid!

[@jonathantownsend8018]

Sorry to hear that you've been unwell. I've had similar experiences in India, Unfortunately it is almost inevitable, though not much fun. Try to rest up a bit as your health is paramount and consider returning home if you don't get better soon.

[@muguruki2256]

Rest up mate, you are looking a bit peaky. Videos can wait, take care of yourself first.

[@Winniebago]

I havent traveled in ages due to money and responsibilites I cant leave. This video was great at reigniting that spark and can hopefully visit here someday.

[@ganapatihegde1024]

Nice vlog!

[@biologiste-mk4qw]

thank you so much for the video i fell am traveling with you love it 😄🥰

[@anamariavarela1645]

I hope you have fully recovered. I experienced Delhi Belly in Amritsar and it was horrible😢. Congrats for this serie of videos, im really enjoying them.

[@JamesBrown-ij1px]

6:52 - 6:56 ... Greatest Jason Billam shot ever! Mystery Mask reveal! "Good Morning" (3 octaves lower than usual). 🤣

[@meryuk]

Never been there (not much of a traveler) and it's all like a film to me. Including the doctor's response 😊

[@rjeckardt8863]

Oh yes, good ole India, where everything is broken. Fixed but then worse than it was before. Glad to see you made it somewhat comfortably. Overnight sleeper busses are for the very brave in India. Same with local trains. Have fun in Chennai. Malappuram is a nice escape for a couple of days. Big boulders like in Hampi, in case you hadn't been. I think it's about a half hour from Chennai, towards Pondicherry.

[@JamesNorthway]

Hope you feel better Jason!

[@GavIsHti]

Take care brother..get well soon .

[@Jpkjr52]

A bus ride to remember Thanks again John in

[@leahalexander1216]

Oh my goodness! I’m glad you’re ok.

[@dwarasamudra8889]

Fun Fact: Hospet or Hosapete was once the outermost suburb of the Vijayanagara Metropolitan Area. It was constructed by Emperor Krishnadevaraya and was known as Nagalapura, after his mother Empress Nagalambika. However, the citizens just called it Hosapete meaning New Town in Kannada.

[@sunnygillstar8661]

[@55jhjhjkjk]

Thanks for taking us on your sleeper bus trip ! 🙂....Black mucus....that must have been an experience. I'm sure you'll be fit again soon! Beside of that i noticed your hair in India looks amazing ;-)

[@gogadev]

I mean how does his hair look elsewhere?

[@55jhjhjkjk]

@@gogadev in India he looks curlier and wilder 🙂

[@gogadev]

@@55jhjhjkjk ah ok. Good now he saved 💰 money from buying expensive Shampoos.

[@YourLocalStreetBacon]

Overall indian sleepers are like being in a first class train but i wouldn't call it first class it is decent i say its not like the other foreign buses but the difference is that you get to open the windows and see outside and that if its foreign it will be like we cant see outside but we can see outside without opening the window and the other difference is that you get water at the start and we get water like in the middle or shall i say kind of when we get on heavy busy roads so we dont get exasted while watching the road so i would say overall indian buses are pretty decent or better then ac sleeper trains

[@SunilSharma-re1hq]

❤

[@prasannavenkateshrpras5367]

Visit vgp marine kingdom aquarium in Chennai after you get well❤️

[@peterhadley1654]

Thangavur also has very famous temples

[@SudiptaCapture]

come to mayapur, kolkata

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Interesting but I doubt I will ever travel there.

[@mrb515]

come to vizag beautiful city.

[@geraldlumbis4247]

You have the cough that won't go. I had it for 2 months. Hope yours goes soon.

[@rjeckardt8863]

So sorry to hear about the food poisoning. Such an Indian experience, sadly. Doctors are oftentimes good. Hopefully he prescribed something that will take care of the problem. Please don't eat street food!

[@AubreyBeauford]

Whoa...Jason I mean you've had bowel and/or stomach problems in other videos but I believe you've crossed into "No way in hell!" territory with that black mucus scare😳. I sincerely pray you'll feel better for you and these videos are one of my weekend delights. So with that said...bye, bye Chennai🏃💨 🚕 ✈️

[@hulme187]

Good video. I've done all South East Asia etc but India has never appealed to me. Glad I can see how chaotic, noisy and dirty it is from your videos. Thanks

[@gogadev]

Vlogger Daily Max has been here for months and is having a blast. I guess everyone's body is built different.

[@bhupalan]

That's the one of the poorest bus services we ever have from Hospet to Chennai. We never take bus from Hospet to Chennai. Instead we use train services which is far far better, cost effective and easy to commute.

[@B_WEZT]

Is it just me who wants to do that

[@pmajudge]

Sorry, JASON BILLIAM YOU HAD AS MEDICAL ISSUE ! GLAD YOU RECOVERED ! GOOD YOU LEFT CHENNAI. FROM, U.K. (2023).

[@sharonjanethague7181]

Poor you! Delhi Belly is unavoidable in India. Still, hope you are feeling better soon. Great videos, btw.

[@revelation333]

U must return to England if you have persistence cough with black mucus. Dr could be right about the pollution or it could be something serious, best to return bro.

[@princeali2555]

You are extremely brave - there is no way I could spend a night on those buses by myself 😍

[@pratheeppat1]

1.3 billion people do

[@rejuvenatingsoul3498]

Yeah, you have to be strong for that. Those buses aren't for the weak.

[@adityashukla2317]

om namah shivay

[@internet_wanderer8316]

Well. Lots of adulteration in food prepared in unhygienic conditions which Indians are used to. Sometimes you get some really bad restaurants and you end up sick. Hope you are fine now and take care.

[@RAIJINTV]

i dont think india will be on my travel list

[@pjkslc]

Jason! I have grown to care about you over the years like a mother. Keep your eye on the ball. I know you aren’t asking my advice but black mucus is a sign that you need to pay attention. Your poor poor body has been through vomiting and diarrhea and is telling you to rest. Your body deserves the most consideration. Just lay there. Consider staying put in Chennai and resting. Travel is not easy on a sick and tired body. You look pale. Best to you.

[@pushpasharma5591]

Jason u look weak u need more medicine treatment , traveling is not possible with sick body,better take rest,take medicine in times get well soon and then u return on yr daily work routine

[@dilipkumarkotteswaran7934]

Tamizh is the oldest language in the world .

[@randifurtado]

You visit a lot off beautiful places…cities… countries…but never stay enough time there for us your audience enjoy them. I don’t understand why you pick India in my very personal opinion a very noisy,dirty and crowded place in the word. And decided that that’s the country where you going to do more videos. So far there’s not a single beautiful place that you visit on this series.😢😢😢
