    I'm Jason, a full-time British Travel Vlogger and RUclipsr 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 RUclipsr, 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.

    Chennai is amodern metropolis and Southern India's major city with a lot of culture and tradition rooted here not to mention the food. However, that river Cooum is a sorry sight because it is higly polluted; succesive governments have tried cleaning it up but failed miserably. Hopefully, it will be revived and made suitable for navigation one day.

      After the Great Leader Rt.Hon Kamarasar rule ended in 1967, then came the CORRUPTED to the Core DMK + ADMK both parties led by TELUGU CROOKS, Malayala Crooks and Brahmin CROOKS by hiding themselves with so called Dravidian Mask.
      The DMK & ADMK both CROOKED deliberately let down COOVAM by not cleaning up.

    Chennaiite here, and to answer your question, Jason....the river you crossed in the video is the Kuvam River, which travels 16 kms through the Chennai area before draining into the Bay of Bengal. It originates somewhere in the Tiruvallur district in TN, and that stretch of river is actually clean, it's only the 16 kms in the city that's as polluted as you see it.
    The reasons for this pollution are many, ranging from unregulated sewage flow into the river everyday and encroachment on its banks by slum dwellers. The single biggest reason for its state, however, is probably the fact that sandbars tend to form in its delta on the Bay of Bengal, preventing it from draining into the sea. Since it isn't draining its waste, what you're left with is the putrid cesspool you see. No fauna live in its murky, toxic waters. Most locals know to hold their breath by instinct when crossing the river : )

    @14:35 Yeah my friend. Being a local person from Chennai I feel worried to state this for real. That's Sewage river where the complete shits stay floating towards the complete city (and so you could feel the odor). Untill 1975 people used to make boat rides on it, some do trades since it looked clean and hygienic. As your assumption, the city met pollution issues then was failed to be maintained. It is non-clearable now :(

    you may have noticed the spirituality in people of Southern India. that is because India is the birthplace of spirituality. South India being protected by ocean from all sides it has not been invaded or ruled as many times as north India by foreigners. that is why culture art craft music dance architecture everything blossomed without being affected too much by outside influence. classical music and dance of South India are legendary and take years to be good at. Carnatic music is the most complex music on earth. in state of Tamil Nadu there are many beautiful architecture made of granite rock thousands of years old been through natural calamities and still standing in one piece.
