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).

Just imagine in 1678, there were no modern buildings around it, you could see the river directly from the fort. How beautiful it used to be! No Electrical lights, no buses, no people, just silence and oil lamps.

[@HomeTravelGardenInspo]

If there were “no people”, who lighted the oil lamps? 😂

[@srabonx]

@@HomeTravelGardenInspo I mean almost none was there. It's a metaphoric sentence.

[@harryhill6238]

and an ever increasing population - they don't just reproduce but have litters. india too. it's a problem but they refuse to solve it. can't feed themselves but will bring souls into this world that they also can't feed. foolish and inconsiderate. people in rapid moral decline

[@riseandshine70]

Even in 1980s, Dhaka was much more beautiful.

[@bazlur-R]

It was all the fault of Noakhali Chittagong Sylheti Comilla and Barishal people who produced children like a rabbit and sent them to work in early childhood or Madrasa. Over pop and corruption are the main causes of all the problems here

The city that will test your patience, expand your horizons, and leave you with a million stories to tell. I've been to Bangladesh few years ago as I filmed one of our TV show episodes there and truth be told, where kindness is as common as street vendors, resilience is etched on every face, and the spirit of the people shines brighter than any neon sign.

[@dmm040]

can’t believe this guy is doing this alone walking and with a rickshaw. Walking in busiest streets of Dhaka is one challenge everyone should take 😂

[@fredwarren5181]

This is my favorite Jason Billam video ever! Just wow.

[@fuadfaruque]

I love watching folks, especially foreign bloggers coming to check out Bangladesh (looks like the amount of tourists going is on the rise)! You make the experience seem so authentic and exciting. My parents are originally from Bangladesh (Old Dhaka) but it's been a while since I've had a chance to visit so its great getting to live vicariously through your videos

[@amerahasansara7756]

I request you to visit Shylet. I always find your videos enjoyable to watch.

[@user-yw8ke7jk7o]

hey Jason, it's so good to see you back in BD. I followed your entire BD series in 2018 and I'm glad that we've made you come back for more! Also I'm so sorry for the chaos you've faced among us, try to visit more hill-track and countryside areas to get the best of Bangladesh, like Sitakundu, Thanchi Alikodom, Mohamaya Lake, Debotakhum etc . Loads of love

Wow, I can’t even wrap my thoughts around the endless humanity! Loved this. Stay safe and healthy!

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Very interesting video! Thank you for the history lesson. The congestion and noise would overwhelm me. You are far braver and calmer than I could be. The things one does for biryani!!

[@TrainLordJC]

You've excelled yourself here with this truly unique, simple, captivating and more similar adjectives to show this amazing city. WOW! The tricycle rides and just walking those busy streets. As a pretty experienced world traveller from previous years I was wondering why you chose to come to Dhacca but as an awesome world traveller yourself, you and Gabriel Traveler are definitely my two favourites, never missing an episode so that I can continue to travel vicariously through your lens and watch the goings on. Well done.

Just saw your video. Left my country about 5yrs ago to pursue higher degrees & haven’t been to Bangladesh since. Made me so nostalgic! Kudos to you. I REALLY appreciate your courage to go through the narrow গলিs (go-lee) / narrow roads of shankhari bajar, lalbag, sadarghat! Since you have been to this area, may be next time go to the "University of Dhaka" area as well. And have some tea at TSC. May be visit the book fair as well? If you ever go to Mohammadpur again, try Singapore Juice House and Mona mamar HALIM 😅 Also, have you been to neelkhet or new market? Chadni chowk? Atleast neelkhet would be nice experience. You will see so many books but with much lesser prices! I wish you enjoy my city, my home to the best 😊
