  • We visited Chengdu-the capital city of China's Sichuan Province-and ate a ton of cheap, signature Chengdu street food. With the help of Trevor James, We ate some delicious Chinese wraps, zongzi, RABBIT HEAD, and a ton of other cheap foods!
    Fellow RUclipsr and food blogger - Trevor James (The Food Ranger) showed us a ton of cheap local specialties to help make this the best episode of 20 Dollar Traveling yet!
    We filmed this video last week on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. I actually met Trevor last year the first time I visited Chengdu, but this was our first time to film together. It was a blast shooting videos with him; he knows so much about Chinese street food and that really helped me stretch my budget.

    About Me:
    My name is Kevin Cook. I'm originally from Dallas, TX, but I've been living and traveling in Asia since 2013.
    After graduating from university in 2011 and working a few unfulfilling jobs, I saved enough money to move to Asia and work as a teacher for a few years. That opportunity allowed me to travel around and experience new foods and cultures, and ignited a passion for blogging and making videos.
    Now I travel full-time and make videos with the goal that I can encourage YOU to pursue your own dream of overseas traveling and living.
    If you enjoy watching my videos, you can help me grow my channel by giving my videos a 'thumbs up', leaving a comment, sharing them, and subscribing!
    Thank you :)

      Sichuan people consume about 100 million of those a year. About 1 for each person in a year. Some people like it a lot.

    NOOOoooo!!! I did it again, clicked on this after I ate and now hungry again! Dang it! I remember all of those foods and salivating like a dog dying in bed thinking of those dumplings and imagining the taste as I remembered it. We need those kinds of places and prices in the West so we can spend like we have it and share the enjoyment with friends, that's what life's about! Do the street people do a FEDEX overnight delivery!!!
