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 🙂

Very Nice vidéo, that shows the real live there and the real street food
take a bigger bite
hey kevin which night market did you go to?
Calm down people…. Everybody looks hungry.. Let's chat and order some food…what do you say people??….no politics talks on the dinner table.
看到真善忍，2333，真的好奇问一问台湾朋友，抛开政治，信这个的是不是真的很多？
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!
WTH is he talking about? It's not like the Cultural Revolution tore down all the temples in the Mainland. In fact, there are still so many. Also, the Mainland is so vast that the volume of culture it packs is not something Taiwanese culture can even remotely come close to. Chiang Kai Shek taking all the valuables when he fled to Taiwan doesn't mean he took with him all the Chinese culture. LOL. The illusion that Taiwanese culture is equally prominent is caused by Taiwan's good economic standing in the world and the consequent attention that comes with it.
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.
Nice video
Nice to see someone enjoying life , dude please stop eating like you've never seen food it's putting me off watching your Chanel 👍🏻💯

Taiwan is Taiwan not part of China !
Kevin could totally give Guy Fieri a run for his money! Pure happiness when he tries new food ❤️

0:02 She knew what was going to happen!

When you're black in china you don't take picture of china china take picture of you
看到法轮功学员我他妈瞬间想起了江大大。。
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….
1:32 spelling mistake😜
20 $ a day in Bangladesh………………..please
反共复民
Great series
許先生都介紹到重點了 哈～
u eat so much u pig
这个许佩松是个性感的优熊呢！
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.

Great footage
Anyone know where the place featured in 4:09 is in Taipei?
it's more like Chinese culture is part of Taiwanese culture since there 're so many races n cultures in Taiwan n they have their own culture .there is no culture better than the other one . every culture is equal in Taiwan .at least it's what I 've seen. but sometimes Chinese descendants seem look down the other cultures in Taiwan .
comming to indonesia
So interessting to listen to your vlogs man thank you for that!!
