Hey Mom, I am in RUclips! Lol. Hope you enjoy your stay here in Jakarta.. Kinda short but it was hella fun to meet you, Ben and Cat! Safe trip to your next and next destinations. Hope to meet you again one day
Ben and Cat, I'm very happy that you two decided to spend a little extra on the room in Labuan Bojo, you two had been put through the wringer with the loud never ending music and bumpy bus rides. What an incredible room and view, Cat (and you) certainly deserved that luxury! Safe travels friends !
Oh guys, what a delightful video. So good to see you two enjoying some well deserved luxury times. What a girl is Kat!! Sweet, brave, always ready for harsh adventures. And what about her lovely, captivating smile! You look very good together, man. Ben, you are the guy! Thanks for your work here. Grettings from Brazil!
She is adorable!!! Ben you’re really getting comfortable in your recent videos. I feel so bad for you guys and all the loud music.😭 keep it up, I’ll be catching all your videos in the future. Cheers.
I can’t wait for the next video. This country is very unique. Kat is awesome. She’s the right girl to go on a trip around the world. Keep up the good videos.
The footage in and around Jakarta was pretty cool, especially when Ben and Cat entered that maze through little shops and people's living quarters. It would certainly be interesting living there. My 93 year old former boss and her family were from a little town in Northern Maine and moved to Jakarta sometime in the 1970's. When I worked for her she had all sorts of stories from when her Diplomat husband brought them all there to live for a few years.
I really love the story of You & Cat, Ben. I remember the vlog when you met her on a beach, possibly somewhere in Brazil? (I forget the geographic location) Since then I have enjoyed seeing your adventures together, and it warms my heart to see you both happy together. I can see by the way that she looks at you Ben ….. you are in for trouble, my brother. (Luckily it’s the good kind of trouble, no worries.) - Jason/Freedom Fighter Until Death/Vermont, FRA (‘FRA’, meaning “The Failed Republic Of America”)
Once again, you and Catarina made my grey and dreary sunday morning a whole lot brighter. Thanks for that and keep up the good work! I've recently visited your home town and I get it now. very inspiring to go travel.
Ben, thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos. It's very inspirational to watch it, especially for those of us that just started creating travel content. Keep it coming my friend!
Stay close to Kat. Stay away from the monkeys! Excellent video mate. Great to see you both happy and healthy. Cheers from the Sierra Nevada mountains. 🍻
Reminds me of one time people in my neighborhood were making noise till 2 am and I had to work at 6 am so I left a little early for work and went through the neighborhood honking my car horn.
Ben, I feel you, that's a nightmare scenario, geez... As a seasoned traveler myself I've learned to always bring at least two pairs of quality vaccume headphones comfortable enough to sleep in + some meditation music or asmr that drains out any disturbances. Ear plugs work too but might cause ear infections after a couple days.
This is so relatable brother! I travelled SEA for about six years and I know that pain. Once stayed in a hotel room where the room next door was literally been knocked down. I stayed across the road from a restaurant that was so loud that it was shaking the windows. And I lived next door to a hotel where for an entire week the owners thought it was acceptable to have their Buddhist funeral from 7:00 p.m. till 5:00 a.m. respect there traditions but I doubt the ancestors had martial amplifiers! 😂
Enjoy your vids much for sure. But now, I'm absolutely slain by Caterina! She is charming and delightful. Your vids are cool too, Ben. All the best to you both; I'm looking forward to your content going forward. Love, respect and regards to all!
ive never understood why people would murder someone in cold blood, until i was somewhere with someone playing loud base late at night and i had no power over it lol.
I was just there in the beginning of October for a week, I absolutely love the vibe of the city. Its chaotic at times but its very intriguing, the people are unbelievably friendly, and the nice places in jakarta are unbelievable. The traffic is next level though
Lol the polution there and the mentioned other places makes having to pay for plastic bags in Tescos seem ridiculous 😅 I think supermarkets just saw an extra profit, the heiress of Tesco still owes the British taxpayer thousands after selling of land in London in a scam that went wrong, she refused to pay the fine given to her by the courts, transfered her assets into familys names and fled the country, and yet we still do our shopping in the shop that will make her extremely rich .
I didn’t like Jakarta when I was there, but I’m sure it’s a great place. Bali was better to me. Live in Perth, Western Australia, Love the channel Ben 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I feel your pain... I've got an old cat here (18yo) that has become so senile that it wont shut up for any hour. Lack of sleep can really mess a guy/gal up.
Ben, if Kat left her job to be with you, while you suffer around the world in those shithole places, maybe you two should make it a permanent arrangement. She's such a plus part of your life.
just got going into the video...i dont know whats better m8t, the fact u actually dropped some coin and stayed in a nice place?..or the fact that Cat looked "well rested"!..lol..i'll continue on with the video before my comments get me in trouble..lol. good job m8t
You always go places just before me. I am riding from Malaysia to Timor Leste. When ever I go to Lima, Peru, the first few days my sinuses burn from the polution
The place where the traffic jams are so legendary, they have their own fan club. Forget about rush hour; it's more like 'standstill hour,' where the cars play a game of musical horns. Honk if you love traffic! But I don't mind because this is the country where my bucketlist belongs! Hopefully, my travel dart would land soon in this place!
Not gonna lie when you first started going on about it im like surely it cannot be that bad, then MY back wall started to vibrate too 😅, totally worth it all tho in the end as always haha! Stay awesome and stay safe out there! @@BackpackerBen
What a beautiful part of the world, especially when it's presently a dull wet November in the uk. The only thing I really missed is food, I'd like to see what they eat in that part of the world, apart from a few biscuits.
Enjoy in Jakarta - North Jakarta is hustle city and little bit wild - Central Jakarta is office area and Political wave - South Jakarta is many hangout place for youth like a party or just take a coffee
The man playing the guitar reminded me how random people with guitar wait on streets in Indonesia to entertain the people in cars or busses for a small tip 💚
I lived in Jakarta for seven years until the pandemic forced me to return to my home country. I absolutely loved living there and absolutely hated leaving it.
Hey Mom, I am in RUclips!
Lol. Hope you enjoy your stay here in Jakarta.. Kinda short but it was hella fun to meet you, Ben and Cat! Safe trip to your next and next destinations. Hope to meet you again one day
IQBAL YOU LEGEND
Very kind of you to show Ben and Cat around Jakarta, Iqbal.
@@noenamfam that is very kind of you to offer. I would need a new passport as mine expired in 2020.
@@toddburgess5056 come on mate.. renew your passport and hopefully you can get cheap flights here..
I love these two....Ben has always been incredibly entertaining but Cat improves it all!...amazing!
Beautiful Catarina definitely deserved that luxury break! You're a great partner and she is completely adorable. Happy travels!
Ben and Cat, I'm very happy that you two decided to spend a little extra on the room in Labuan Bojo, you two had been put through the wringer with the loud never ending music and bumpy bus rides. What an incredible room and view, Cat (and you) certainly deserved that luxury! Safe travels friends !
Cheers mate!
@@BackpackerBen Keep spoiling her Ben. You two appear to be a great travel team. And the spoiling never ever ever ever ends. FYI.
Bojo : Boris Johnson?😅
Might not wanna see any more videos without Cat. Hope it’s only you two from here on out. Both of you are awesome and compliment each other very well.
Oh guys, what a delightful video. So good to see you two enjoying some well deserved luxury times. What a girl is Kat!! Sweet, brave, always ready for harsh adventures. And what about her lovely, captivating smile! You look very good together, man. Ben, you are the guy! Thanks for your work here. Grettings from Brazil!
Kat really enhances your videos! She’s always smiling! Another interesting video Ben! Many thanks. Keep on travelling!
Glad you like them!
She is adorable!!! Ben you’re really getting comfortable in your recent videos. I feel so bad for you guys and all the loud music.😭 keep it up, I’ll be catching all your videos in the future. Cheers.
Cat is such a good sport no matter what you put her thru she just keeps smiling gotta love her and Ben as a couple
She's amazing!
Yup!! Im sure, She's a Keeper for BeNjaMIN
You guys are nuts! 😂😂😂
Couldn’t handle all that music more than a second, well done to you 😅
Ugh
I can’t wait for the next video. This country is very unique. Kat is awesome. She’s the right girl to go on a trip around the world.
Keep up the good videos.
7:42 very kind of you to let Cat use your leg as a pillow. Thank you for sharing this moment of sweetness with us.
Excited for the next video Ben! Save travels with Catarina!

Hope you both get rest,,your so beautiful Kat!❤

This is brilliant 😂😂😂
CIA uses sleep torture as a form of torture so keeping your neighbors up at might should be considered assault
Great vlog Ben really enjoyed , Ooooh that bass music playing all night..
Ben, I feel you, that's a nightmare scenario, geez... As a seasoned traveler myself I've learned to always bring at least two pairs of quality vaccume headphones comfortable enough to sleep in + some meditation music or asmr that drains out any disturbances. Ear plugs work too but might cause ear infections after a couple days.
Put headphones in to get the full bass power coming from that village 💀
lol nice bass. torture
A lot of East Asians seem to have no concept of noise pollution!
Excellent as always Ben and Kat my favourites see you both in part 2 subscriber Australia 💛
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice video, thank you Ben and Catarina

Great video Ben and Kat
Ben, I watch a lot of different RUclips channels. I have to say, yours has become my favorite.
Appreciate it mate!
I live near a pub. That bass thing is most evenings for me. Noise cancelling headphones changed my life.
Thanks!
Legend
You're a long way from the Muff..!! Living the dream...geddon 😉
YOU GUYS Deserve Each Other ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love watching the videos! Hoping to get to some of the places that you have been to, spent a lot of time in Mexico this year.
ive never understood why people would murder someone in cold blood, until i was somewhere with someone playing loud base late at night and i had no power over it lol.
*bass
looks like you're having a great time!
Love the vid Ben class as always ❤
Huge respect to you guys, be safe and stay awesome, jurassic park
Recently was in Jakarta from Australia. Apart from the pollution i loved it.
I was just there in the beginning of October for a week, I absolutely love the vibe of the city. Its chaotic at times but its very intriguing, the people are unbelievably friendly, and the nice places in jakarta are unbelievable. The traffic is next level though

I love Cat's positive energy. She's cute & pretty.
Oh nahh i could not with the music great video!!
Amazing views!Thank you Catarina and Ben!
I didn’t like Jakarta when I was there, but I’m sure it’s a great place. Bali was better to me. Live in Perth, Western Australia,
Love the channel Ben 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
thats a rough start with the music playing all night. Love Cat! Put a ring on her finger mate ;)
I feel your pain... I've got an old cat here (18yo) that has become so senile that it wont shut up for any hour. Lack of sleep can really mess a guy/gal up.
Ben, if Kat left her job to be with you, while you suffer around the world in those shithole places, maybe you two should make it a permanent arrangement. She's such a plus part of your life.
Yes. Kat is in this video. She so beautiful. You need to keep her on the channel.
Allways an adventure,great company,great spirit great job holding it all together.
Lol that is a good thumbnail Ben
You know it
You think you’ve got it bad with all the bass music …. Try walking the Darien Gap!! That’s proper tough 😂
In vans 😭
Complaint Packing Ben opening a video with a complain i love it lol
just got going into the video...i dont know whats better m8t, the fact u actually dropped some coin and stayed in a nice place?..or the fact that Cat looked "well rested"!..lol..i'll continue on with the video before my comments get me in trouble..lol. good job m8t
Don’t get used to it mate I’m back in dump hotels now
@BackpackerBen I wouldn't think anything different. You doing the dumps makes the show so good!
You've blatantly fallen in love with Catarina like we all have.... ❤
She’s beautiful inside & out
What about the 500 other women he sees on other trips lol
Of course we do 😂..image tapping dat ass 💦💦💦
@@wagmiorngmiyou mean he’s fudgepacker Ben?
@@wagmiorngmi😮he’s gay
Travelling around with Sweetheart like Cat must be the best part of the Adventure Ben !!! Nice move Guy !!!
Glad I found your channel.
How do you keep clam with all the travel chaos?
Over the years i've come to appreciate earplugs.... can NOT sleep without'em now. LOVE IT! :D
I saw an A&W.!! Love A&W Grew up on their root beer floats, tater tots and Jr burger.
good vid, nice mix up of places
Catarina, great traveler, always do what’s right 🙏👍❤️
You always go places just before me. I am riding from Malaysia to Timor Leste. When ever I go to Lima, Peru, the first few days my sinuses burn from the polution
I was thinking why don't they just stay somewhere nice for a change, and then they did! Awesome! : )
Earplugs. Don't leave home without them. Best piece of travel gear I've ever bought.
Earplugs for me are hard to sleep with it’s really annoying feeling in my ears
@@jumpy2xstreaming Try silicone earplugs for swimmers
Ben, you need to invest in ear plugs and maybe some white noise to drown out loud music. 🙂
The place where the traffic jams are so legendary, they have their own fan club. Forget about rush hour; it's more like 'standstill hour,' where the cars play a game of musical horns. Honk if you love traffic! But I don't mind because this is the country where my bucketlist belongs! Hopefully, my travel dart would land soon in this place!
Excellent mincing as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Good man Ben well in kat
Watched this in my home theater with 2 18" subs positioned around the room, I felt exactly what you were feeling if anyone if doubting you bahaha
THANK GOD! Now imagine that for 10 hours all night 😅
Not gonna lie when you first started going on about it im like surely it cannot be that bad, then MY back wall started to vibrate too 😅, totally worth it all tho in the end as always haha! Stay awesome and stay safe out there! @@BackpackerBen
Denver Colorado here and yes Kat is soooo beautiful Ben your lucky too.❤❤❤
What a beautiful part of the world, especially when it's presently a dull wet November in the uk. The only thing I really missed is food, I'd like to see what they eat in that part of the world, apart from a few biscuits.
Aaaaw. You two are adorable. 🥰
Reminds me of downtown Dallas Texas. All the cars and the pollution. The downtown skyline is so hazy
Enjoy in Jakarta
- North Jakarta is hustle city and little bit wild
- Central Jakarta is office area and Political wave
- South Jakarta is many hangout place for youth like a party or just take a coffee
Invest in some quality earplugs or ANC headphones mate, great video as always
The man playing the guitar reminded me how random people with guitar wait on streets in Indonesia to entertain the people in cars or busses for a small tip 💚
Would love to see more of Labuan Bajo and the National park.
I lived in Jakarta for seven years until the pandemic forced me to return to my home country. I absolutely loved living there and absolutely hated leaving it.
lol, my subwoofer was shaking the walls in my room from the bass in this video.
Mate the whole hotel was shaking like an earthquake. Mental
