I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and CZcamsr 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 CZcamsr, 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.

Chennai is automobile manufacturing hub of India as well as it's highly industrial metropolis .
wheel cover just went for a ride.
வாழ்த்துக்கள் நண்பா 👍🏼👌
Welcome Tamilnadu
Chennai is amodern metropolis and Southern India's major city with a lot of culture and tradition rooted here not to mention the food. However, that river Cooum is a sorry sight because it is higly polluted; succesive governments have tried cleaning it up but failed miserably. Hopefully, it will be revived and made suitable for navigation one day.
After the Great Leader Rt.Hon Kamarasar rule ended in 1967, then came the CORRUPTED to the Core DMK + ADMK both parties led by TELUGU CROOKS, Malayala Crooks and Brahmin CROOKS by hiding themselves with so called Dravidian Mask.
The DMK & ADMK both CROOKED deliberately let down COOVAM by not cleaning up.
But very dirtiest.
Very bad road and dirty places.found in indi. 😂😂
Jason, great videography and content. Chennai is a great city and people a lot friendlier than some cities. Thanks for the video
I visited Chennai on 2019 just before the covid hit hard and it was amazing trip. Sadly you missed fort st. George museum. Chennai museum is also worth a visit when you come to Chennai next time.
By the way calcatta to sikkim and assam-nagaland-manipur route were also nice routes i had done before.
Your love for India is amazing.🙏🙏 Keep coming to India and be a tourism ambassador for India. Tourism Ministry should form a council for travel Vloggers like you , Gabriel and others and take inputs how to improve the tourism in India.
Thanks
Following your travel videos from Finland. India very interesting and seems to be your favorite destination, also in the future.Take care!
Jason I love India and what I like about you is that you’re informative about the history I didn’t know it was called madras but this is what I like , thank you very much
I really loved the look of the thumbnail. Great video!
Very informative trip videos to India :) Thank you, Jason :)
I loved this serie of India videos.
Hello 👋 Ana, how are you doing?
Great trip, I have been using your videos to do my trip planning
Happy to hear!
I visited in January 2018 for 10 days 5 years ago
It was nice to see the friendly look and nice to see the place as it is.
It is one of the place I definitely want to visit again.
I miss the lively appearance of the streets, I miss the friendly and bright faces of the tourists
Great vlog, like and support from kerala

You will surely like it
Iconic buildings like Higginbothams, POrr & Sons, The Mail, Gymkhana Club etc went unnoticed without a mention... Never in a hurry next time 😔
Jason simply put...I love your content man. I can handle a little sour with the sweet meaning what's awesome about a place mixed with what's not so awesome. Great commentary in this one as well.
Your walk around Chennai made me feel like I was right there with you! Do you have any tips for someone planning to visit there and get the most out of the experience?
Jason... You forgot Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi ...
Your running commentary is sooo good👍👍👍 love your videos😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

You are doing good job keep rocking ☺️ lots of love from Chennai ❤️
Chennaiite here, and to answer your question, Jason....the river you crossed in the video is the Kuvam River, which travels 16 kms through the Chennai area before draining into the Bay of Bengal. It originates somewhere in the Tiruvallur district in TN, and that stretch of river is actually clean, it's only the 16 kms in the city that's as polluted as you see it.
The reasons for this pollution are many, ranging from unregulated sewage flow into the river everyday and encroachment on its banks by slum dwellers. The single biggest reason for its state, however, is probably the fact that sandbars tend to form in its delta on the Bay of Bengal, preventing it from draining into the sea. Since it isn't draining its waste, what you're left with is the putrid cesspool you see. No fauna live in its murky, toxic waters. Most locals know to hold their breath by instinct when crossing the river : )
I see, thanks for explaining that.
@@JasonBillamTravel Hi brother you must visit Highest statue in the world Statue of unity in India and Lakshadweep island hidden gem of India 🙏🏻♥️
@@JasonBillamTravel it was polluted since from early 20th century...and by 1967 it was declared as dead river
I have the impression that all those polluted rivers in Chennai are draining its content in the bay, so it makes the beaches and the ocean fishes endangered.
I just read India Becoming by Akash Kapur. Great video to watch after reading that book! Great job! Cheers!
Hello 👋 Lisa, how are you doing?
Welcome to India 🇮🇳
You should visit Odisha too a very beautiful and historic state.....and Vizag also a very beautiful city
Welcome to south india
the first bit walkin down the street from the station it reminds me of walkin around paris but with more leaves
08:02 that is not a bakery.. That is Buhari Hotel where the famous dish "Chicken 65" got its name. it was just a 65th item in the menu of this hotel.
😮
Hi, jason how are you bro, always ❤from Bangladesh. Hopefully you will visit Bangladesh again.
I am from Bihar
I have travel all parts of India
(Chennai in march 2023) 🍁
Welcome to chennai bro😊
@14:35 Yeah my friend. Being a local person from Chennai I feel worried to state this for real. That's Sewage river where the complete shits stay floating towards the complete city (and so you could feel the odor). Untill 1975 people used to make boat rides on it, some do trades since it looked clean and hygienic. As your assumption, the city met pollution issues then was failed to be maintained. It is non-clearable now :(
Always a pleasure Thank again John in y
Well done mate, I admired your patience and openness to explore India, welcome again, especially chennai, keep going, are you from Hampshire?
Welcome to Chennai ❤
Happy to see you in my City ❤️
I spent a few months in Bihar working as a volunteer English teacher - it was an incredible experience and my Hindi got quite good!
Where in Bihar

I like your video, thank you for share this place, is amazing, thank you for introducing us to different cultures and traditions
Good trips in India. Thanks. When you go back to India if you could spend more time with the temples and give us more of the stories and deities of such places, That would make these videos much more interesting as these things are central to Indian life. Namaste. Mathura Vrindavan area is full of this essence with many beautiful temples, festivals, sights and people.
❤ Love From Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Hello 👋 Maryr, how are you doing?
Chennai is both politically as well as economically powerful city in india.
Hello friend welcome to Chennai and i congrats you I wish you wanna go the north pole to south pole💐 iam you fan from now 😊
Superb video
you may have noticed the spirituality in people of Southern India. that is because India is the birthplace of spirituality. South India being protected by ocean from all sides it has not been invaded or ruled as many times as north India by foreigners. that is why culture art craft music dance architecture everything blossomed without being affected too much by outside influence. classical music and dance of South India are legendary and take years to be good at. Carnatic music is the most complex music on earth. in state of Tamil Nadu there are many beautiful architecture made of granite rock thousands of years old been through natural calamities and still standing in one piece.
Rameshwaram going super location pamban bridge 🌉 ocean
Use pedestrian subways to cross the roads...it is safe
This was worth it, just for the singing rickshaw driver!😅
Hello 👋 Sharon, how are you doing?

Fort St. George was builted in 17th century and fort museum was builted by British just a months before they were leaving India in 1947 as a memory of their rule in india
Can’t allow myself to finish this video above noise and traffic
The mariana beach is on the sea shore of bay of Bengal but not on the sea shore of indian ocean.

Traffic is crazy but lots of people too.
Hey take can hardly wait for you next place to visit.

Madurai or Tanjore are probably the historic capitals of Tamil Nadu. Chennai is the Modern capital.

Come to Madurai bro....and watching in world famous minatchi Amman temple....
Chennai ... best city
14:29 The river you crossed is a 'Coovam' river. All untreated waste water from the households and commercials are being discharged into the river. That's why it's black and getting a bad smell.
Welcome to chennai bro

Those pink bus's offer free travel for ladies
14:04 it's not actually river it's wholesale man whole called kuvam river
sad to see the polluted river..
This is not a river, this is sewage
@@AnupKumar-oo7kl This is Cooum river, it became sewage in Chennai city due to mixing with untreated metropolitan dumps and wastes. Sad.
In India all the major rivers are polluted...

Hello 👋 Lichuan, how are you doing?
I am fine, Daniel. Where did we meet?
@@lichuanchen1626 Good morning friend, my name is Daniel Seong I was going through the comments when I saw your profile and you have the same name with my colleague so I decided to send you a message. I hope you don't mind?
I don’t mind at all. I checked your profile as well. Congratulation for your success. Your hard work bears good fruits. Bless your family. I live in Taiwan and go to southern India often, not so much so to southern California now.
@@lichuanchen1626 Oh really heard along about your country Taiwan it's a beautiful place to reside and with delicious meals also. How is the weather condition over there?
I always wondered if you ever had a camera stolen out of your hand while you were videoing?
Never happened thankfully 😂
Nice👍❤👏
