Hey! I'm Chris and I'm an English expat who has spent most of his adult life living and traveling outside of my home country.
Rather than doing the usual mid-life crisis thing of buying myself and motorbike or a sports car, I bought myself some camera equipment and started sharing my travel experiences with the world.
I hope to bring a different perspective to many of the (great!) younger vloggers out there as I travel to places both old and new to me.
If you enjoy my videos the please hit SUBSCRIBE to see more, and I'd love to meet you in the comments!

Great and informative video, we are going to Tunisia in July, not been for about 15 years, looking forward but apprehensive with the uk government guidelines. We'll have fun im sure , thanks again for a great video
Thanks I’m glad it was helpful. If we listen to closely to the guidelines then we would miss a lot of great places. There’s probably many places I’d be more worried to go back in the UK. Anyway, have a great time!
Off to Morocco in November, will it still be hot ?
For the Arab people : it's Persian Gulf😉
Although I don’t expect I will visit India I still find it so interesting hearing what not to do in such a cultural different country.
A very interesting video, I'm going to morocco in November /December, what is the weather like at this time of the year, do they still run the Sahara desert trip?
What about prices ? Food expensive, restaurants expensive, shopping expensive? Its always good to talk about them topics init 😝, how much cost that lunch for example?
The real Dema |-/
I'm Moroccan, born and bred in Italy and living in the UK. I must say, you sir have become an expert. Every info you gave was accurate, the first thing dad does when we arrive in Morocco is go and buy me bottles of water, I just can't. I'm from Casablanca and Essaouira, welcome any time! And you certainly should visit the northern cities of Chefchaouen, Tangier, Asilah, and the beautiful beaches of Martil! Lots of love 💗
Very cool video, enjoyed it a lot :)
Thank you!
😊👌
Reminds of Istanbul's bazaar
What transportation from casablanca airport to asilah city?
I didn't. I traveled Tangier -> Asilah -> Meknes by train.
ooof are you trying to respark the spat from 300 years ago ?
I plan to travel to Marrakech for a holiday this year, and a night in the Sahara will be on my list to do. looks amazing
Thanks for the great video. My son is there today, and I wanted to show my class a video about the area. Thanks for a fun, informative school friendly video. the kids especially enjoyed the food and the way you described the tastes!!!
That’s the first time I’ve heard of one of my videos being shown to a class! Glad it went down well and I hope your son has a great experience there!
Great Video Chris.
Cheers Bert!
And giving €13 tips in your home country, you have no shame
You could just stay for more days in merzouga and then return with another group a week later or something.. you just a negative person
Hello, i love your video so far. I am stiil watching but i wanted to ask.. what is a good general tip? you mentions 10 dirham for a taxi but is that also a good tip or is that too much? what would be too much?
Groovy vibes from Link Wray in a Jim Jarmush movie. Well done Asilah! 😎
It's a mixture confection🙏👍
Everything is on wheels for cleaning. Easier to mop those tile floors with everything out of the way.
One of the best vlogs i've seen about my country, i hope it goes viral . Thank you Chris!
Thank you! This was a great day in Tunisia
Never expected what? If the fridge and everything is on wheels it's easier to move to clean behind. Great idea, actually.
“this AMAZING capital of MOROCCO!”
Hi bro Im from Morocco and most of the stuff you say not true I don’t know if you talking about Morocco or somewhere else
What is not true and why?
You miss to tell us price for lobster
Loved your blog for Fes and the Desert Tour. What is the name of the Riad you stayed in Fes? It looks very good and we plan to book it for out trip in November. What time of the year did you travel to Morocco?
Thanks, it was Riad Damia. Do check the latest reviews as it was a while ago that I was there. My trip to Fez and the desert tour was in May
🇲🇦👍
Thank you very much Chris for your nice video. I am from Hamedan but since 2007 I live in the UK. I missed my city. Watching your video makes me happy. Best wishes for you dear Chris.
I’m glad you enjoyed them, traveling in Iran was an incredible experience
Freddie Mercury was zorastrian who was from india After arab conquest zoroastrian base shifted from persia to iran The zorastrian community is locally called parsi ( farsi /persian) ,they speak gujrati a local language of india
8:28 Local people shop everywhere.. just it depends on areas, some places can be more or less clean .. I live in Paris .. and you can have that contrast also in Paris .. But that massive dirtiness sometimes in Tunisia is something just new .. It was never the case before 2011
Nice vid Chris. Not sure why you couldn’t go into the mosque! They’re always open to non Muslims during non prayer times to visit. Sorry to hear if you feel you couldn’t go in there/ they didn’t let you in! Also I believe the pink drink could have been a ‘falooda’ 😅
Another great vid.. I just wanna add that you are always allowed inside a Mosque whether Muslim or not. Nobody can stop anybody from entering a Mosque.
I am tunsian and i saw all videos about Tunsia, and this one is by far the most informative one .. You just understood everything in the right way .... Bravo 👏 By the way I am going there(I live in France), with my English girlfriend in June. She visits Tunisia for the first time ..
Thank you 🙏🏽 Hope you both have a great time when you go!
Great video (subbed!). Where in England are you from out of interest? Your accent reminds me of my cousins 😄
Thank you 🙏🏽 I’m from the South Coast originally but left the UK many years ago
Lol ot feels like 90% of the video is eating...
Haha the food was pretty good there! I did a second video there too so there’s a bit more non-food 🙂
@@ChrisKermisgreat 👍🏽
You are really tripping to complain about a meal like that for €13 , you have to just spend money sometimes and don’t be counting cents .
I am latin American and found out several years ago my father's father and all my great grandfathers were Moroccan. It was a total surprise and something no one in my family knew. I later found out my Moroccan relatives likely were originally from northern Morocco and likely lived in towns just like Asilah or perhaps even included Asilah. Thank you for sharing this great video so that we newly discovered Moroccans in the Americas can learn about our relatives homeland and what life is like there.
That’s amazing! I hope you can see it for yourself some day
@@ChrisKermis Hi, I am from Morocco, from the city of Asilah. I read your comment about your Moroccan origins from the north. Do you have information about your ancestors? I want to help you if I can.
😇
I'm going in october
even if you are not muslim you can enter the mosques, no one will stop or ask you if you are muslim or not
Just back from Sousse and it's not a good place with people going out of their way to scam you. Taxi drivers scam you (tourist prices), shops scam you (tourist prices), and the hassle and aggression you get from walking around the Medina. We would have spent SO much money if the shop keepers were honest and not aggressive. Then you have the scammers who constantly come up to you saying they know you from your hotel and grab you dragging you into a random shop. Cash- you can't take it out of the country so youll need to keep your exchange receipt to exchange your cash back to £s at the airport as they'll just take your DIR off you if you don't - they give you a receipt so you can get it back within 2 years. All in all, my memories of the holiday I've just had is that once outside the hotel gates everyone outside sees you as a tourist is out to scam or exploit you. Would not go back again.
Welcome to my city bro wish u visit it again and i show u many things
Thank you! 🙏🏽
I am heading out to Morocco soon. Wanting to start to travel since I am 54 and retired. But I do have too say other than the people it totally looks like AZ or certain areas of Colorado. Sorry to be a deb downer but that is what it seems like.
Places often look the same but it’s the people that make the difference. Hope you enjoy Morocco when you get there!
@@ChrisKermis Yes I am totally going it > Thank you for the reply.
For those who complain that he did not talk about UPI, folks understand that UPI is not easy to enable if you are not an Indian. I know it because a lot my Indian relatives have now become citizens of USA and Canada and they say UPI is difficult for them to enable despite visiting Indian several times. Even if they manage to enable it, there is usually a limit 5000 rupees in it. So yes, while UPI maybe the worlds best system, it is only easy if you are an Indian citizen.
Thanks for the feedback. Pretty much what I was thinking, a great system for Indian citizens but not something that a visitor will likely use.
UPI requires a bank account. Banks don't allow foreigners to start a bank account. Mobile money in other countries (eg Kenya) is much more is tourist-friendly.
Bro needs a little inaight into UPI tech
But is that something that a visitor can use?
@@ChrisKermis i dont see why not, might wanna have a look into it
If it offers anything worthwhile for a visitor over just having a visa/mastercard and carrying a bit of cash. It’s easy enough just to pay by card in most places anyway
I'm Moroccan and I never been to that to Tetouan but it holds a special place in my heart. The people from that city are so nice and chill and the vibe that gives is like old Morocco mixed with all the good stuff. I will visit it soon for sure
I hope you get to visit soon!
I love this place, thank you for sharing
Hi, love your content. May i know what is the eSim you use while you are in Morocco ? thanks
Thank you. I didn't get an esim, I just got a physical sim at the airport on arrival, can't remember which
Use correct Indian flag in Headline Tag , Change it. Do research, find right one.
