The Life Of Jord
YouTube - www.youtube.com/thelifeofjord My name is Jordan Simons and I'm a videographer and photographer currently travelling the world continuously!
In 2014 I sold all my possessions, quit my job and began to travel the world. I found that I instantly loved travelling and wanted to make it a bigger part of my life, so I decided to document my adventures with a video blog. Since then I’ve done some amazing things and been to incredible places all over the world, all because I made an unconventional choice and started following my passion. Now I

While I've loved my time in Bali... it's changed a lot 😳
It's not the same digital nomad paradise that it was once.
So where else is there?

Here's how I spent 24 hours in Gangneung, Korea 🇯🇵 This city took me completely by surprise.
Have You Ever Been RAIL Biking 👀
This was one of the more unexpected activities from my time in Korea. SO much fun though.
You actually go a lot faster than it looks too, with the help of an electric motor.
Would you try it? It's in the lesser known area of Gangneung-Si in case you want to.

Have you heard of Gamcheon Village in Busan?
This colourful little labyrinth was one of my favourite parts of South Korea, way back on my first trip here in 2016.
You can spend hours here walking around and getting some epic vantage points like this one.
Well worth taking the Train to Busan to get here too 👀

Hello South Korea 🇰🇷
We’ve been exploring more ‘off the beaten path’ Korea with and a great crew of people ❤️
Such a beautiful and diverse country with some of the best (and healthiest) food in the world.
Kimchi with every meal? Yes please.
We stayed at the Deer Park Inn for 1 night and it was completely worth it!
I would highly recommend this experience if you have a night to spare in Nara.
You could even go out for dinner if you REALLY want to, you just have to brave the 20 minute walk in the dark surrounded by the ferocious rusk-hungry deer.
Have you seen this Super Mario themed Restaurant in Japan!? 😆
This is Toadstool Cafe in the Nintendo World section of Universal Studios, Osaka.
Seriously, this place is my childhood.
Trying Tokyo DisneySea's Questionable Food 🤔

Big kids for the day pt. 2 ❤️
We booked the tickets via the app and it was easy enough to scan the QR code and walk right in!
While it was still a great day out from Tokyo, Universal Studios was a much better experience imo!
So if you’re making a choice for one theme park day while in Japan, go for Universal in Osaka. There are more rides, more unique experience and it comes complete with Nintendo World and Hogwarts too 👌
Best Street Food in the World? 🐙

Did you know that Germany are currently re-introducing Lynx in Hainich National Park?
This is the Wildkatzendorf Hütscheroda, a centre for Wild Cats and Lynx in Thuringia.
The National Park is a UNESCO heritage site and a natural habitat for these animals.
Over 90% of Hainich National Park does not have any economic use and so nature can returns to its roots here.
Therefore it’s the perfect place for new populations of Lynx to flourish.
Here I was lucky enough to see the feeding time for a new Lynx Kit and her Mum!
Bavaria.. isn't that the place with Oktoberfest? 🤔 Ok yes, BUT

Hello Bamberg! 🇩🇪 This little Franconian town has taken me completely by surprise.
Beautiful baroque buildings, amazingly fresh food and a brewery on every corner ✅
It’s easy to see why the ‘fisherman’s district’ - that you can see in these photos - above is also known as Little Venice!

Have you ever been to a Red Wine Battle? 🍷
The Haro Wine Festival, also known as Batalla del Vino (Wine Battle), is a celebration held annually in the Rioja region of Spain.
People come from all over, usually dressed in white with red scarves, to climb up a mountain at sunrise and throw red wine at each other.
The result is a joyous, wine-drenched spectacle that transforms everyone into hues of purple and pink.
The festival is not just an opportunity to let loose, but also a homage to the importance of wine in the Rioja region.
This is Kaieteur Falls, one of the largest and most remote waterfalls in the World.
With a staggering drop of 741 feet, it's about five times higher than Niagara Falls.
Despite its grandeur, Kaieteur remains relatively untouched and secluded.
This is largely because it is nestled deep within Guyana's rainforest, accessible only by a small aircraft or arduous 5-day overland journey.
Huge thanks to Discover Guyana for giving us permission to film with the drone here 🇬🇾

Finally made it to the Pyramids!
I’ve always been fascinated by the impossible building and maths of the pyramids, and now I finally got to see them up close.
A lot of people had told me they’re underwhelming and not to have big expectations.. I completely disagree.
100% worth seeing and I just spent two days marvelling at the sheer size of them, especially considering we’re still not really sure how they built them 4600 years later 🤯
