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 :)

Haha! Love the reaction of the woman watching you eat the fried chicken! So nice you had to show it twice.
I'm glad you're making videos again. Watched your videos from the beginning but you had a long dry spell there ;)
It's great that you always seem to be open-minded and happily take everything in stride. I think most of your countrymen or even westerners in general would not react so well and revert straight to the negative stereotypes. Keep up the good work!
+Joe Young Yeah, the last couple years I was working at an international high school on Shanghai saving money to travel. The job took most of my focus away from video production so I had to wait a while. But we're just getting started, now. Thanks for your continued support and encouragement, man.
This inspired me so much to stop worrying too much about traveling with a low budget, great food and beautiful walks! Thanks!
A lot of people seem excited about Taiwan - hospitality, friendliness, ambiance - do you agree Mr. Abroad?
Yeah its an excellent place. A little more expensive than China but you get what you pay for, I'd say ;)
Great video. We can't wait to be there next week eating all the amazing food and vlogging!
Stayed in Taiwan for 5 days for business visit, loved it! Will visit again!
Nitin Kumar so what are you suggesting me about building small business either compare to other Asian countries
that chick at 5:50 had a blast seeing u eat that fried chicken😁😁 and even filmed u..nice vids btw
So interessting to listen to your vlogs man thank you for that!!
I’m showing this to my Daughter. We are going to Taipei soon and I’m gonna tell her we will keep our budget for food at €20 each. Woot!
I love all that food you got for twenty dollars in one day..You my friend just got yourself a new subscriber...now it is time to go on a binge watch.
Loving all of these videos Monk! Hope all is well brother, sure looks as thought that's the case!
You make it look so easy, haha. Awesome video yet again! Good always looking like the best tasting stuff ever.

Very Nice vidéo, that shows the real live there and the real street food
Great quality on this one! keep it up!
+Michael s thanks a bunch, Michael!
In addition to the food and people, I love the special moments you capture like the cat with its two back feet on the steps looking at a tank of fish with kinda, freaky expression.
Haha thanks, but I think those were pigeons.
I feel so hungry watching you eat all of those delicious foods.
Great video. I like it!
Another great addition Kevin!
Thanks so much for watching, Paul!

So ready for my trip
This is so cool.
Great production value
Nice video! I had almost all the same food the last time I visited Taipei =p
+TheJenntang so are you telling me I'm just a big copy cat?!
Impressive showcase of Taipei. I'm hungrier by the minute. Keep the videos rolling Kevin!
Thank you!! Will do. Thailand is on deck.
Great video Kev. Shanghai Wariors represent!
+Frank Schipani hell yeah! This whole series would have likely never happened without the Shanghai Warriors. Everyone who has helped me (Neo, Curtis, Pei) are my friends because of that team. So to you I should say: thanks for making these videos possible, Frank!
One of my favorite places, where I would move easily hehehe
peace, Frank
안녕하세요! I miss Taipei! Great video!!
Tai Hao le!
Taipei is well worth exploring
I have heard the lantern festival is incredible North of Taipei
Xie xie, David! Taipei is an amazing city. Leaving tomorrow morning for Chiang Mai, and I'll definitely miss it here. Last time I'll be using Mandarin for a while...
That fooood 🙈✨🙌🏻
Man, apart from all these tasty and helpful stuff you show us in your videos, you are filming in quite a professional way. Really love it. Keep on doing this. Maybe soon you'll make your carreer in filming :) By the way, I'm going to China in the beginning of August, will settle down in Hangzhou with my girlfriend. Maybe come across with you filming your next masterpiece :))
I really appreciate you saying that. Did you check out the Hangzhou video already?
the food looks really good.
Great series
Thanks
damn, i loved the peanut butter noodles both in taiwan and hk were really good, no restaurants make it here in sweden. also one thing i really loved in taiwan was the pineapple, best pineapples i have had, so sweet and good
Fun video! well done 😆
+Ana's DaringAdventures thank you!
In Taipei I think you could do a two-day series and it still wouldn't be enough !
food looked great!
+Jesus Bautista food was so gooooood
That Taiwanese burrito looks good.
Love your channel!! How are you enjoying Taiwan so far?
+adrianlindsaylohan Taiwan was amazing!!! Visited Hualien and Taipei. People are so nice and I was really impressed with the English proficiency of most people I spoke with. 台湾时一个很好的地方
SO DAMN EXCITED TO GO BACK TO TAIWAN AND MAKE COOKING VLOGS.
許先生都介紹到重點了 哈～
All that street food looks more amazing and delicious than eating at a sit down restaurant.
+Scripner it usually is. The experience and atmosphere around street food is almost better than the food itself.
Dang, this made me very homesick now!
That "show me the money" made me think of Starcraft. Btw Taipei is so beautiful
i subscribed and watched your videos when it only had a few hundred views 2 years ago.
+mrzack888 As a matter of fact I remember reading your comments a while back. Still only the beginning, man. Glad you have joined me on this journey so far. Thanks for watching
Great footage
Thank you
yo you guys down below in the comment section, stop arguing about the cultural shit between china and taiwan. yeah taiwan had received influences from China (so do from Japan because of the 50 years occupation) and i do agree with Pei, communism in China almost ruins everything cultural. now we have to move on and not to be stuck in the past. i'm a cantonese from China and i really don't give a damn about the "Taiwan want its independence" thing because this country is already independent lol ! everyone beside the chinese government considers Taiwan as a country, so rest easy....
AWESOME！
request video of top 5 taiwanese street food please!!!!
Miss Taipei already
I cant believe you ate all that!!! You sure are a vacuum man!! Keep it up! Where to next?
+Chris koutsoukos Chiang Mai Thailand. Boarding the flight right now actually haha. Thanks for watching!
Damn I want that pancake! :D
nice video! btw good game against the nighthawks in the AFLC finals last season. hk cobras taking over this year =P !
+Jeffrey Mui haha thanks for watching, man. Was hoping to play against you guys last year. Hopefully that changes this year
Love watching your $20 a day series...what is the name of the night market you ate at? Will be going there soon....
ShiLin Night Market (士林) on WenLin Lu, close to JianTan MRT station :D
I'll be visiting Taipei in November, any night markets you'd recommend someone to visit?
Followed u this entire 3+ years.......... I can't wait to start my own adventure....... as a retiree.......... Believe it we have a Teavana right here in Sorry-' Cuse @ the mall
+where is this vehicle now frost thank you so much for supporting my channel over the years. Only getting started :)

Dam your friend ballin with that Benz
+IronBeast O.o big step up from my ride in the Hangzhou video, for sure.

Anyone know where the place featured in 4:09 is in Taipei?

I'll make more, don't worrrryyyy
Nice video
great vid as always, but I didn't think you would try the stinky tofu again it's difinetly an aquired taste
ive been watching all your videos and you deserve so many more subs. This could be such a good TV show also.
what was that night market called?
love your video, just keep doing it! Hope to see more!"ZAN" means thumbs up":P
Thanks so much!!!! :D and thanks for the ZAN!
hey you should do a traveling for $20 in luoyang, henan! my wife and I are going next month to teach.
Maybe I will when I return to China. Going to Thailand tomorrow though. Thanks for watching!
Go to Indonesia dude. It's street food paradise here. Food cheap AF but the taste won't let you down.
Great video. Btw, what brand of t shirt are you wearing?
+Brandon D thanks man! I got it roadside in Thailand for 100 baht (~$3), no brand
When do you get to travel? How do you find the time to? Do you teach?
Kevin could totally give Guy Fieri a run for his money! Pure happiness when he tries new food ❤️
i spent a lot in taipei for shopping and food! i love this city. just hate the stinky tofu.
Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of the stink, either. Thanks for watching!
hey kevin which night market did you go to?
Akak melayu berempat spotted @7.15 . Merayau mana tu kak hehehe
I only get only vacation a year, I don’t don’t which one of these south East Asian countries to go to
Where is the night market ?
even im a chinese, but i never have chance to experience all things,,,,,,,, thumb up,,, ,,,
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
the way you eat things.. it's like youv'e been starving your whole life
I want to know which editing software u used
+Randhir Aryan Final Cut Pro
please make more 20 dollar videos x
omg is that hotstar?!
0:02 She knew what was going to happen!
I took a fancy to TAIWAN !
Stinky Tofu is just like Thai's Durian. "Love it or hate it." Taiwanese already get used to that smell and dare to eat. It smells good to me and I love it. Just try it and maybe you'll gonna addicted to it.
You must go to Shenzhen once : )
+James Chou someday I will :)
hong kong please!!!
Awesome video. I also heard that people in Taiwan are exceptionally friendly to tourists. However, I'm surprised that an innocent food & travel video "offended" a couple of people simple because it shows Falun Gong practitioners doing meditation in public in Taiwan. It actually shows that people in Taiwan enjoy real freedom. I'm from China, and I hope one day, people in China can practice Falun Gong freely too.
Thanks for watching, and great comment
i know i'll see funny comments just from the title, great video though
My baby- looking handsome
comming to indonesia
