    I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and TH-camr 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 TH-camr, 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 and Singapore.

      Love Tainan. First visit I had there, all the temples were having a massive parade through the city. It was magical.

    Thank u once again, Jason. I often send these to my adult autistic daughter to share the travel experience together, as we lived in several different countries when she was growning up. A very cool opportunity you afford us to enrich daily life for her.

    Hi Jason: Thanks for showing something different. Taiwan seems to be rich in culture and everything is so well maintained. One of my cousins has been living in Taiwan for the past 4 years and the family just loves that country. Their time is almost up and the kids are very reluctant to leave Taiwan.

    Never been ~ huge contrast from Taipei. Supposed food capital of Taiwan but it's hard to beat what Ive had in Taipei. Cannot wait to check it out next time for the food and history

    Hayashi is a common family name of a Japanese person. So, I checked it. And I found out the founder of the building is 林方一 (I’m sorry I couldn’t find Japanese pronunciation of his last name, 方一), who is a Japanese.
    My next travel destination is Taiwan. So, thank you for your awesome information.

    • @JasonBillamTravel

      That’s right, it was opened under Japanese occupation of Taiwan. There’s a lot of crossovers between cultures - Japanese influence is everywhere.

    Very cool, super fun video, Jason! Thank you for sharing all of this! My husband and I live deeper south in Taiwan currently, and we adore Tainan based on the small handful of times we've visited. We have yet to visit each of these locations, so now we have a few ideas thanks to you! :) You're awesome!!!

    Hi! thanks for this video :) Tainan looks quite flat. Would you say it would be easy to visit and enjoy Tainan for someone using a wheelchair? :) Any other cities and sites you would recommend (aside from Taipei) for a wheelchair user? thank you!

      More frequent uploading for sure. The last week I’ve been taking part in a very intensive trip, so the editing fell behind. The good news is that I have a lot of content to release over the next month. Thanks for being patient!

    Sadly Tainan people don’t speak English so you will need a friend to help you speak mandarin. Tainan is most underrated for tourists but is must to see Tainan! Tainan is very fun easy to navigate around the whole city! Tainan also have night mark which is very popular. I miss Tainan already!

    Centuries before the Dutch people came to Taiwan, already many Chinese moved to Tainan, mostly from Fujian and some other coastal areas. Taiwan was not "discovered" by the Dutch as indicated by what you said. You may need to learn some more of Taiwan's history before you made this video.

    I quite disagree with you. I found it not that much different than Taipei.
