I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and KZfaqr who's been to 55 countries. I've been travelling around the world full-time since 2017. So far, my trips have taken me to Asia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
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 trip marked the start of my efforts to make a KZfaq full-time job.
After that European trip I went heavily into exploring Asia, visiting India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea and Kazakhstan (seeing me cover a lot of Far East and Southeast Asia in particular).
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, Israel and Palestine.
To date, I have not yet been to Australasia or South America. Though I am hoping to visit the latter sometime in 2022, along with a first stop in the Caribbean.
I've travelled to North America just once as a KZfaqr, visiting Mexico in 2021. Though I have been to both the USA and Canada, this was as a child on family holidays.
So far in 2022, I've taken my first trip to Sub Saharan Africa, visiting both 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. In the summer I visited the Caribbean for the first time, spending over a month in the Dominican Republic, before stopping in Belgium on my way home.
After shooting some videos in Taiwan, I made my way to the Philippines for the second time.

I feel like most vloggers make the mistake of going to Samal island spontaneously which isn't the best way to enjoy it. You better go to Sta Ana port in Davao city at around 6am and book an island hopping tour (joiners possible) which takes you to the best marine spots of Samal, including Talikud beach, coral garden, clam garden, angel cove, etc. If you wanna go by barge, it is best if you booked a fancy resort, which would have great amenities like fire dancing show, infinity pool, inflatable islands, etc. And then do the famous inland tour which includes a bat cave, cliff jumping, waterfalls, etc. I do appreciate the places you visited though. I haven't been to those spots yet and it's really raw and pristine.

This is true. Spontaneous travel in Samal is not as good as Camiguin or Siargao.

Hi there buddy, I would say you the tuktuk driver charged you a little bit more than we would've paid as a local. 'foreigner price' some would say. The more importany this is that you arrived safe (as I would expect every ride would be) Love seeing your travel videos especially there in Davao area. Cheers!

Now, you can see why the bridge is much needed. It would significantly reduce traveling costs around the island. and It would make the island develop faster. Sadly, it has been left behind even if the president was from Davao because he prioritized the infrastructure projects from other provinces of the Philippines during his term.

Thank you for mentioning that the Philippines has thousands of islands. That means there are some difficulties with transportation going from one island to another. And also, some of the foreign vloggers keep complaining about the internet/Wi-Fi. Guys' I'm tired of hearing your complaint about the Wi fi. Before you complain, do your research first about ISLANDS alright. I live here in the Carolinas but the wi-fi signal here is still lagging or sometimes nothing.

Ferry between Davao and Samal Island will be a thing of the past bc they are soon about to build a bridge which BTW, was heavily protested bc it will eventually devastate the natural beauty of the island. And yes, unfortunately you were scammed by that pedicab driver. Always, Always do not hesitate to ask a local. Interact with the locals ang you’ll be amazed at the warmth,hospitality and generosity ( even if they don’t have much)of the Filipino! Who knows? You might even be offered into a local home and toured around the island . The true beauty of the Philippines ( if you don’t know yet) are it’s people!

Hey Mate- American Al writing you from USA where I find myself "trapped" as I and my Filipina wife Margie cannot get back to the Philippines for were NOT "vaccinated"-as we do Not believe in it! Anyway- when we were last there we had a house on the mainland of Samal and I used to go snorkeling and kayaking on Samal 4-5 times awk! What you should do to really SEE the island is rent a motorbike for a day and just tour around the main road along the coast or hire a bike and driver and do it as the local driver will know everything! By the way our friend has a Thai restaurant in downtown Babak so if you want to meet a dynamic lady and learn whats gong on ask for Marilou and tell her Al & Margie sent you !

How did you end up in the provinces, your suppose to stroll down Manila and in Makati City only for good looking eye catching sceneries and for tourists sightseeing spots. Have Fun! Don't eat too much Dorian, Jason. Try hot pandesal (dinner rolls) and siopao (stuffed bread) with a chilled coca-cola or with your favorite beverages. Do not get fat, it's bad for you. be blessed, Jason. Will you be spending Jesus' Birthday Celebration in Manila, dear? Have Yourself a very MERRY CHRISTMAS - 2022! be blessed.
