Chris, known as , is a travel content creator from the United States with a particular focus on food and culture. He is known for his fun, engaging videos that really make it feel like you’re traveling along with him. He likes to travel to lesser visited places and disprove negative narratives about certain parts of the world. You won't find Chris in Bali, rather you'll see him

traveling by road in Northern Nigeria or visiting Iraq and Iran. One theme throughout his work is cultural appreciation. There is very little travel content produced for Western audiences in these less-visited countries, and Chris wants to show that there is a lot to see and do. It might not be iconic landmarks like in Europe, but Chris likes to showcase the culture, food, and everyday life in these places in a way that makes them interesting and encourages others to travel off the beaten path while immersing themselves in the local culture. Chris's travel journey started back in 2013 when he went on a solo backpacking trip through Central America from Panama to El Salvador. This showed him that it was really possible to just pack up a few things, jump on a plane, and figure everything out on the fly while getting totally immersed in the culture. As Chris traveled more his goals grew eventually leading to his goal to visit every country in the world. He is currently at 155 countries meaning he has less than 50 left. Check his Instagram or TikTok bio for the latest count. As Chris has perfected his craft, his global audience has grown. He shows an alternative perspective about the places he visits in an educational, funny, and engaging format. You can see more of his content on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter or TikTok at .

This brand new supermarket I just found in Ikeja is really impressive. It feels like Walmart though a bit smaller.

It’s called Prince Ebeano Supermarket and their other location in Ikeja is very cramped so this is a nice upgrade.

I was trying to go to the old one and found this new spot on Google Maps.

I was recently featured in this article about travel in Iran as an American during tense times with the USA. I went in 2023 and made many videos about what it is like to visit in Iran. Many have resurfaced during the recent war so it was great to discuss my experience again.

After visiting Iran, travel vloggers from the U.S. and Europe told Prism that their expectations shaped by the Iran War were overturned

ASAP Tickets Africa is your plug to find affordable fares to the African continent

It has been so valuable to our relationship to take the time to learn about my wife’s culture so that I can better understand her and where she comes from.

I’ve done this through multiple trips to Nigeria where I’ve learned more about everything from daily greetings like Ẹ káàsán and Ẹ kú iṣẹ́ to the rich cuisine and spicy food.

But travel to Nigeria and the African continent more broadly is not always easy. That’s where ASAP Tickets comes in -- helping you book affordable flights to Africa whether you want to connect with a friend’s, spouse’s, or even your own culture.
