This channel feels like a well-traveled friend who actually pays the bills while on the road. We like Chris for clear, practical guidance on living and working remotely - think cost breakdowns, best coworking spots and honest first-person vlogs. The Chiang Mai cost-of-living guide, which drew over two million views, is a standout and shows exactly why his advice resonates. He also jumps into long-form podcast conversations and occasional livestreams, so expect a mix of polished guides and candid, unedited talk. Activity is steady but not daily, with uploads about every couple months.
