Hey guys, I actually made this video back in March but was waiting on releasing it. This is honestly something that is a big struggle for me as a fulltime traveler.
About my Pakistan series, I am taking time to edit the rest of it, and other videos will be coming out in the meantime. Pakistan videos will resume at the end of June.
Thank you so much for all of your support!
I miss you my Sister I am Pakistani
You had wonderful videos with Poppy in China. I am looking forward to see more in the future. 👍👍👍
Travellight Travel so much can be challenging for you health and mental stability as well I suppose. Do you have plan to go back US and settle for a while instead?
Travellight yay always love to see Poppy in your vids!
u dont really have to wear makeup
u r naturally good looking
Your video about Pakistan is fascinating. Thank you show me the country we called brother.
Love Pakistan from China!

Thank u brother we also love china
My elder brother is studying in china in the shandong institute of technology jinan....
I love china....🇵🇰🇵🇰❤❤🇵🇰🇵🇰🇨🇳🇨🇳❤❤🇨🇳🇨🇳
A lot of love from Pakistan brother 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you Brother ❤️
Love you too brother,
Thank you. Your videos actually deepen our understanding of each other and spread friendship between countries. It's great, nobler than most media that only reports hatred and negative news.
Sometimes one can be the happiest person in the world on their own in the remotest place or the lonliest even when surrounded by friends and family in their hometown.
Your sacrifices have made your videos possible and in turn brought awareness and enjoyment to many.
Utmost appreciation!
That's very true!
I have been a subscriber for a long time now, you have an inspirational soul and have alot of talent.I understand what you mean with the lonely feeling. I travelled when I was younger and just decided at one point to settle down with my now husband. We have three kids now and my life revolves around them. I often tell them my traveling experiences and show them pictures. I do miss traveling once in a while when I watch your amazing videos. We have made it a tradition to travel as a family every summer. I wouldn't change my chaotic family life now for nothing in the world. I am blessed to have them in my life they complete me. As I grow older and reminisce I see it in different stages. I now value my parents, grandparents, aunts , uncles, cousins and friends more. I've learned how to maintain friendships.I discovered in my personal experience that I felt less lonely living close by. I just have a different view of life now and I'm very thankful to God that I had the opportunity to travel. We are all different, I just thought I'd share my story with you.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO AS LONG AS IT MAKES YOU HAPPY!
Thank you for such a beautiful comment Adriana! It sounds like you have an amazing life with a lot of loves ones around you. I love your perspective. Thanks for sharing
@@Travellight21❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
so glad you are going :Lhasa. In 2013 my wife and I did train from Shanghai-Zhangjiajie, Changsha, Louyang, Xian, Xinning and then way over to Lhasa. From Lhasa private tour to Yabajing Hot Springs, then group tour to Gyanse, Shigatse, Mt Everest and then down to Kathmandu. Loved it. Hope you have fun.
Wow, that is quite the adventure! The train must have been beautiful
This is definitely an important message! I love solo travel but I struggle with it too. It is the single biggest thing I'm nervous about when I head off on my big adventure in 4 months! But I know I need to push myself out of my comfort zone if I ever want to meet new people.
That is very exciting about your big trip in 4 months! Getting yourself out of your comfort zone is one of the "best" things about life. You never know how much you can do until you challenge yourself.
Aaah...just got back from Chongqing. My wife’s hometown. We spent a relaxing two weeks exploring Zhangjiajie in the rain and fog and
wrapping it up in Chengdu which I have not been to in ten years and is turning into a very respectable city. Thank you for sharing. We love your’s and Poppy’s videos. Can’t wait to see Tibet!!!!
That sounds like a great adventure!
Great video. It really shows those isolating situations When living away. Its like feeling like an observer and not a participant!
"Observer and not a participant" Perfectly said! It can feel like that sometimes.
@@Travellight21 hii wht is your nam may i ask did u think on visit israe??? regrd oran;
I majored in English Translating and Interpreting, of cause i am Chinese. Once day if you travel to Hangzhou, one of the most amazing cities in China, it would really be my pleasure to show you around this city, introducing you the culture, interests of place and delicious food of this city. I do look forward to that day.
That translator is pretty handy, totally good for any not-too-complicated translations.
Hi Jordan, it's good to see you again and you just keep on exploring and learn new cultures as well.

You and Poppy together is always so much fun. Wished you could travel and do vlogs together always.
best friendship in China called "巴铁",means our friendship like steel ,love Pakistan from China !!!
love you china from pakistan
love Pakistan from China
巴铁
I really liked the whole theme of this video Jordan. It puts everything in perspective and makes you treasure family and friends so much more. Stay safe and keep up the great work with support from Upstate NY.
Thank you Kyle!
Never seen such passion n enthusiasm towards travel
Being alone,it's a worst feeling.
But sometimes this loneliness helps us to explore ourselves.
All the best.
Love from Pakistan.. ❤️❤️
That's fuckin' deep, man. That's fuckin' deep.
巴铁
This was a good video, not only because of the topic but because it was based on your interactions with people, not just B roll. Can't wait for the rest of the Pakistan series.
Thank you!
@@Travellight21❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful Country China
Welcome back to China! Whatever how far you go, China always open for your like a harbour.
和蔡蔡用爱发电 你这个名字口味好重,这你也下得去手...
@@陈文辉-u5z : )
That little translator is pretty good at translating between English and Chinese. You have a better chance to find someone, looking like a college student, who can speak English. They might be shy, but if you speak slowly and simple English, they can understand it.
Very good experience and you made great videos, I am working in Shenzhen China, I saw my hometown city Xi’an in your video. Miss home.
Just to let you know. You are not alone. We will always be here for you. Your subscribers.
Wow, I didn't realize how difficult it was to nail the intonation -- that's crazy. It's great that you're still trying to learn though. Pretty inspiring actually.
It's very hard haha. Sometimes when I say something in Chinese to someone and they give me a look, I just start laughing (at myself) wondering what crazy thing I've said this time.
I really love your videos!
Just realize when you ask translator “where is the bathroom?” It actually translated to 浴室🛀 meaning somewhere for a shower. The word you were looking for probably should be 厕所 “ce suo” or 洗手间 “xi shou jian”. Or maybe just see WC and they will definitely understand.
An authentic American said that it would take three months to eat all Chinese best food.One year later,He could't even end a province's specialties.China is very huge and colorful.
That's true! I keep going back to China. You can never explore all of it.
@@Travellight21 Jordan next time must come to Guwadar bcz its a world vocation and world business point of comings days and his just one road is 57 plus countries belt thats name is ( one belt one road ) ....
9:55 that's classic. I did the same thing when I lived in Beijing. I knew the words, used the tones correctly, and people still did not understand me, said I was saying something completely different. Then they started to be jerks about it so I just quit. I was open-minded about learning their language, why couldn't they be the same accepting my efforts?
it's.a tone based language, so sometimes a tiny difference in your tone can change everything.
You are right Jordan we really need friends around us!💚
When we are travelling to different places, despite of being surrounded by different people, we surely feel lonely,
but thanks to those warm hearted people & friends whose single kind word, act or even smile make our day & make us feel at home!🏠
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video!
Thank you! You are right
@@Travellight21❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You bring up an interesting aspect about travel. We are social beings, and we crave meaningful relationships. You have a kind and gentle way with people. Stay safe and thanks for inviting us along on your adventures :)
The translation app fonction very well, in particular your first conversation and the last one of the receptionist in the hotel, seems we can travel with it around the world and break the language barrier.
At 10:08 I was laughing and sorry about that. The translator said 浴室在哪里 which actually means where I can take a shower? Because bathroom can be translated like that (and public restroom as well) Anyways, keep up the great job! Jordan!
I can relate! Good friends are not easy to come by. It's so important to have the close circle you can turn to. xo

My problem is also same ...When traveling and meet many people..The worst thing is leaving them and not sure if meet them again or not
Awesome vlog. Thanks for sharing nice travelling experiences and useful information Travellight :)
Thanks Kamran!
There is always something new to learn from your videos!
*Need to make friends to overcome the sense of loneliness!*
Thanks Jordan for sharing your experience 💚
You ask “where is the bathroom?” Translate in Chinese actually translated into where is the place for shower. I recommend ask where is the restroom.
Jordan, just a interesting bit about the translation when you asked for bathroom. It came up with the chinese word 'Yu Shi", which actually means a shower room in chinese. The correct words for toilet would be "Ce Suo" or "Xi Shou Jian".
Love china from pakistan...
That translation in the hotel frontdesk is impressively accurate
I love your all travels side you are amazing love from Pakistan
support you by not skipping the ads at the begining of the video . Love from China
Aw that is so nice of you! Thank you :)
It doesn't make a difference to their income if you skip or not
@@sloneczkaa It does matter. If someone skips an ad, the creator makes nothing. If someone watches part of the ad, they make a little bit. If someone watches the entire ad without skipping, they make a little more.
@@Travellight21 you're right, just looked it up. My mistake.
@@sloneczkaa No problem. A lot of people don't know this
You two are so cute when trying to let the digital translator understand your Chinese :-)
You are still lucky you got Poppy... And you can text someone when you want to. And you got so many people waiting for your videos. Your loneliness is not Robinsonian 😊 so cheer up...
Your right traveling constantly alone can be a lonely venture! Fortunately, there are a lot of translation apps!
Maybe you should have a small meet up session with your subscribers each time you travel to a new country to beat the loneliness. Warmest regards from Kuala Lumpur.
can't wait for the Tibet videos! Love you guys!
So beautiful love from pakistan long love pak,china friendship 🇵🇰🇨🇳💚❤
Mr Attitude Thank you Bro.
friendship forever
I am Chinese and This is just the beginning wait and watch how China exploits you guys .
love u from China. and the guy above trying to pretend to be chinese maybe is a taiwangese or some chinese traitors in west
don't try pretending to be chinese. we chinese will never be so rude to stranger especially Pakistan
We were just in a airport in China, security was so much different than an other airport we have ever been to!!!
We are a full time travel family who makes weekly videos :)
Thnk you for exploring our Pakistan and showing our positive image to world, i think at this of time we only need this thing to nourish tourism in Pakistan. Thank you!
Love from Islamabad:)
Thanks again sharing your beautiful video best wishes from Pakistan ✌👍👏

Naeem Abbas Welcome to China. Most Chinese are very friendly.
Looking forward you giving us more about China and Asian countries
Travel is amazing and you can learn so much! Thank you for sharing Travel light.
I am traveling and making vlogs and I can relate. I am almost at 1K and thank you for your inspirations.
Travel with Alex Wong I am subscribed!!!!
I thought you would give us the magic cure to fix the loneliness problem! Maintaining friendships when away from home for long periods is especially difficult for the kids. Often the time zones don't allow the kids to video-chat because their friends at home are in bed sleeping. Technology helps but maintaining friendships is still difficult.
It's true. I'm still looking for the magic fix haha
I'm moving to a new city next month, and taking a month off work, to focus on people. I'm really excited!
i have watched many travellers and vloggers on youtube but i appreciate your work as your style is unique and different than others..your videos contains heart touching music,,well explained introduction of the area and quite amazing and appreciable stuff.thanks for such awsome videos and keep struggling till infinity as your motto is ''travelling the world with no end date"
Thank you so much! That means a lot.
@@Travellight21 in your last video(that is road to swat) you had visited our city mardan(takht bhai).i was really regretful when i came to know that you visited my city and i did'nt met you...a month ago when i heard that you are in Pakistan so wished to meet you but you just came and left.... but i pray for your success.. May you achieve your targets with great health and honour...thanks
This is so real! Love it xxx
I enjoy this type of the "behind the scenes" type videos. Would like to see some of the more technical aspects. Video editing and drone flying? Too off brand?🤔 Livio is the ultimate travel accessory. Wish he could make every trip! Poppy too. 😅
Hahaha I love this comment! I died laughing at the Livio part!
I've been getting a lot of requests lately for a filming / editing / YouTubing sort of video. I will make one soon!
🌟🌟🌟Congratulations Jordan on reaching 425K subscribers🌟🌟🌟
Jordan don't ever feel lonely again as We are always with you💕💗
May you get many more subscribers in the coming days 🌟
I'm big fan, keep up the good work
Wow ! we need to learn much more by this video of Travellight, how to keep clean our streets and roads. Surely, the neatness is noticeable. Your language brier & your tries to tackle it sounded funny to me. May God's blessings be upon you, Jordan. Love from Lahore.
#TravellightArmy
I now you had some difficulties in Pakistan but you show possitve its make my heart to subscribe and watch all of your videos
I did have a difficulty in Pakistan, I have to be honest... of having too many friends, of laughing too hard, of needing more and more and more fantastic chai, and of being so sad to leave.
Thanks for replying on my comment 😍😍..1 thing that i wonna say is you won All Pakistans heart's.. thanks for Everything
@@Travellight21 We wholeheartedly adore your love for *Pakistan💚🇵🇰*
Mad with joy after watching your last vlogs in Pakistan. Thank you so much. I hope you had enjoyed it. Warm greetings
I really love your attitude towards traveling! And all your videos are positive and beautiful, you travel with open mind and respect to other culture!! I am going back to Shanghai for holiday too hope we can be friends if you will come Shanghai again haha >< anyway good luck on your trips!!
4:00 you are not lonely. we are here listening you.
The video you make is always so wonderful!
really love ur stunning video! I just came back to Shenzhen from the US several weeks ago and hope to see u somewhere by chance.
That translator has done wonderful job!Such good translation in Chinese.😂👏👏
Yeah, travelling can be lonely. It’ll be nice to have a friend to travel with. But oh well, sometimes you have to find yourself and be the person you’d want to hang out with.
Hey Jordan!
Don't know if you're more drawn to non-fiction or fiction but "The Godfather" was an excellent book. First time i read it i devoured it!
Which then led to a trip to the ER as all that glue and cellulose wreaked havoc on my digestive system...
Glad to see Livio and Poppy making appearances!
And yeah, like you said, longtime isolation isn't healthy. When you described how it felt when you see other people greeting each other at the airport that got to me...
Thanks for the book suggestion! A book led to a trip to the ER? This story must be told! I have read "The Godfather" and wrote a review, but it was not exactly a rave review so you've been warned haha www.librarything.com/work/4808/reviews/70576549
@@Travellight21 th-cam.com/video/SeldwfOwuL8/w-d-xo.html
Actually, you brought up some good points I'd noticed but never stopped and thought about. Yeah, Lucy Mancini was kind of like the "chowder chapter" in "Moby Dick." Could've been left out and wouldn't have made any impact.
A couple *other* books you might find interesting are "Crash Test Girl" from MYTHBUSTERS Kari Byron and "Spy Dust". "Spy Dust" was written by Tony and Jonna Mendez, retired officers of the CIA.
Love your way of discovering... !stay blessed love from Lahore ...
Thank you!
I love traveling to China, especially to Shanghai. I travel alone. I take mandarin cue cards of some common questions. It is extremely difficult to communicate in China. I'm missing out on a lot simply because I can not communicate. Nobody, I mean NOBODY speaks English. I wish I had a mandarin speaking friend with me or I might consider buying that translating device. Thanks for the videos.

TASHI DELEK! weIcome to TIBET, May our home be warm and hope you have a great time there, its certainly a very peaceful and beautiful country~
Tibet IN CHINA
Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, P.R.China.
@@jetlu7332 I AM CHINESE AND I LOVE TIBET N TIBETANS, TIBETAN R Peaceful and THEY RE HONEST PPLS
I would suggest getting a job at an international school (if you have a teaching degree) or an English training center (if you don’t), get married to another teacher, both of you work at the same school, have children, and then you can travel with your new family over breaks (international schools have spring, summer, fall, and winter breaks). You won’t be lonely, and you can also travel the rest of your life! Most schools provide free housing so you’ll have a base in a foreign country. You’ll still need friends, but you’ll have a constant family that will always be with you along for the ride (well at least until the kids leave the nest).
I like all your trips and I following your vologs from Dubai
Can you consider going to Shangri la China? Would LOVE to see your vlogs about that magical place
很高兴看到你来中国旅游,现在好多中国人英语水平也越来越好了,日常沟通还是可以的。希望以后有机会见到你。 loving you~
hey ladies lol just want to say "where is the bathroom" the Chinese translation from your tiny box is " where is the room to take shower" not "where is the toilet" minor difference to note,welcome to China, hope to see you someday in Chengdu haha~ cheers!

That was the same hotel i stayed in a few years ago!!! I remember being in the pool and seeing all of those sky scrapers!! It looked like a painting out of some imaginary futuristic era. It was one of the most mesmerizing moments of my life. Nice to see you staying in that same hotel.
The view on top was insane!!!
Wow that's so cool Abe! It was really nice up there for sure.
Travellight how’s everything going? Any new plans? New countries? You need to take a break. You’ve worked really hard lately.
