On the very edge of China's border to Myanmar lies the city of Ruilli. A city few people have heard of yet millions of dollars worth of jade pass through here every single year. The chinese jade trade that stems from the mines in Myanmar is a highly sensitive topic with lots of shady activities revolving the industry. Some people refer to the jade as 'blood jade' due to the horrific cicumstances many locals in Myanmar sadly face working in those mines.
So I went there to investigate the industry myself and not only did I get an insight into this bizarre business, I also met and was invited into a jade business by the very owner himself who showed me everything this industry had to offer💎
It's safe to say that this is one hell of an episode...🔥
Are you guys ready for the China series? 🇨🇳 In a series of 4 videos over the course of the next month I will be taking you through the mythical country of China.
It’s gonna be fun, different and at times a bit risky👀
First video is dropping tomorrow on the 11th of May⏳
It’s a long time ago since I’ve been this hype for posting videos…
Let me show you why you should trust strangers in The Philippines🤝🇵🇭
I kept hearing the same thing when hitchhiking The Philippines. This is very unusual. You won’t get anywhere with that. Yes agreed, it’s unusual but that’s also the point. Heading the unusual way is often where you will get the most genuine and real encounters. Today’s video is exactly about that. To sometimes put trust into strangers and let your natural scepticism rest for a while❤️
My newest video from 🇵🇭 revolves around my solo travels through the forgotten coastline of The Philippines. This journey did not only open my eyes for the beauty of the north. It also made me realize how grateful I am to have met so many kind people in this country.
In this picture you can see me in the side car of a motorbike with a deaf mute grandma. Her adult children are riding the bike. What a moment, and what a time to be alive!
