🇰🇵🇨🇳 The Republic of China shares borders with numerous countries along its vast territory. However none of its borders are as notorious or as mysterious as the one it shares with North Korea. With my trip to North Korea called off at the last minute I decided that instead of just returning home I would instead head to that border to take a look around and get a glimpse of the Hermit Kingdom.

🇹🇿 In the Rift Valley in Tanzania live a tribe whose way of life is unchanged in 50,000 years. They are called the Hadzabi and they still live in the same way most of mankind did in the stone age, by hunting and gathering on the African plains. Along with my friend @TimmyKarter I set off in search of the tribe to learn about their way of life. Join me on an adventure to the dawn of man...

🇸🇾 For over a decade there were rumours coming out of Syria of prisons where torture and executions were common place. Men, women and children all arrested on often trumped up charges and left in overcrowded cells to face uncertain but terrifying futures. I went to investigate.

🇨🇳China...what is the truth? Some say it is the future, a utopian world. Some say it is the opposite, a total dystopia where the buildings crumble in your very hands and food is cooked in oil strained from the gutters. I finally got my visa and went to investigate, and what I found surprised me. Maybe it will surprise you too.

🇰🇭In 1975 the Khmer Rouge rolled in to Phnom Penh to begin four years of brutal oppression in Cambodia. Although there were eventually defeated by the Vietnamese in 1979, Pol Pot and his army never went away completely. Hanging on in a northern village until the 1990s. I went to investigate and meet their descendants.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 What do you think of when you imagine the United Kingdom? Big cities? Football? Buckingham Palace? Well what if I told you there is another part of the UK which is culturally a million miles from those cliches. A place so wild that even most Brits have never heard of it. A place that doesn't even use the same calendar as the rest of the country and celebrates Christmas in January. Believe me? Well, watch and learn about it all for yourself as I take you to the edge of the nation.

I Caught A Pickpocket In Athens!🇬🇷

🇵🇰I have always wanted to travel to mysterious Kafiristan which is nestled in a couple of small valleys in the north of Pakistan. However to reach the northern mountains I would first need to pass through Balochistan, a region of the country that had been fought over for millennia but never quite conquered. In fact just the day before i arrived Iran bombed it. So let's just say, things didn't quite go as expected when I met the Pakistani military...Join me as we cruise the streets of Quetta.

You have probably seen the videos of us walking through the Darien jungle. This is our story about everything that happened to us on that journey. All the planning that went into it, or lack of planning, and how we eventually met the cartel. Please watch our story.

We Survived Being Trafficked By The Cartel ( Others Didn't )

🇲🇽 PART THREE: Ask any migrant heading north to the USA which part of the journey they fear most and they will all answer with two words: La Bestia. In English it is translated to The Beast and it deserves the name. Terrible things happen to people on The Beast, from kidnap by the cartel, robbery by immigration officers or just losing a limb below its rolling wheels. And yet myself and @TimmyKarter knew that if we wanted to really experience the Caminante lifestyle then we too would have to face the dangers and confront the very thing migrants fear most...Join us!

@TimmyKarter YouTube channel is a place to find our journey from his own perspective. I highly recommend you check it out. Thanks again to him for inviting me on this journey and translating whenever I didn't understand something. Would have been ten times harder without him.

Riding The World's Deadliest Train: The Beast

The Darien Gap known as the world's most dangerous jungle. I had heard of the Darien many years ago through National Geographic and it had both fascinated and intimidated me. I knew one day I would have to visit...

When the word Darien started appearing in the news in recent years by way of the migrant crises I decided that now was the time to explore it for myself. And so myself and my good friend @TimmyKarter headed north from Medellin in search of a way across the infamous jungle, avoiding cartel and bandits, injury and tropical diseases, on an adventure with migrants from all over the world where national laws don't apply. Only the laws of the jungle.

Join us as we enter...the Darien.

I Crossed The World's Deadliest Jungle: Darien Gap

🇻🇪 The migrant crises along the USA's southern border has become a hot topic over the last few years with what seems to be an endless stream of people flooding across the border. But where are those migrants coming from, and why? I decided to go to the source of the issue, Venezuela, and travel with the migrants north through Central America to understand the issue better. Join me on what will be my most dangerous and longest journey ever undertaken as we cross the infamous Darien Gap and other areas most people avoid unless escaping poverty.

Joining me on this journey is my good friend @TimmyKarter Please check out his channel to see his version of the trip too.
