I’m Cody, an American building an unconventional life across Asia.

My life went completely off course, so I decided to rebuild it differently.

After leaving the traditional path, I taught English in Cambodia, traveled slowly through Southeast Asia, started investing for my future, and began exploring the Philippines underwater.

This channel shares the honest reality—amazing experiences, difficult moments, cultural lessons, travel costs, scuba diving adventures, and what it takes to build freedom while you’re still young.

No luxury-travel fantasy. No pretending everything is perfect. Just real stories from life beyond borders.

🦖🥚 I thought I found a DINOSAUR EGG in Bohol 😂

Turns out this is Asin Tibuok, a traditional Filipino sea salt from Bohol 🇵🇭. It’s made using an old local process and comes in this crazy egg-shaped form.

💰 This one was ₱1,000!

Would you pay ₱1,000 for salt just to try it? 👀

🇵🇭 Did you know this Philippine bill is becoming rare? 👀

The 200 Peso note featuring the iconic Philippine Tarsier is one of the most unique bills in the Philippines. Many people don’t realize that it wasn’t printed in large quantities compared to other denominations, making it much less common to find in everyday circulation.

🐵 The tarsier is one of the world’s smallest primates and a symbol of Filipino wildlife, especially associated with Bohol.

💵 Because the 200 Peso note isn’t used as frequently as 100s, 500s, or 1,000s, many Filipinos go months without seeing one.

Have you ever received a 200 Peso bill with the tarsier on it?

👇 Comment below:
YES if you’ve seen one recently
NO if it’s been a long time

Coron, Philippines might be one of the craziest places I’ve ever seen 🌴🇵🇭

Crystal clear water, limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, WWII shipwrecks, island hopping, and sunsets that don’t even look real.

Feels like stepping into another world.

Anyone been to Coron before?
What’s something I HAVE to see, do, eat, or experience while I’m here?

Riding Cambodia’s bamboo train… before it disappears forever 🇰🇭💔

The legendary bamboo train in Battambang isn’t just a ride… it’s history on rails.

Built from bamboo, powered by a small engine, and flying down old tracks at crazy speeds — this is one of the most unique travel experiences in the world.

But here’s the truth… it might not be around much longer.

With rail upgrades and modernization happening across Cambodia, the original bamboo train has already been shut down before and relocated — and experts say it’s unlikely to exist forever.

So if you’re thinking about Southeast Asia…

Do it now.

Because some experiences aren’t meant to last — and that’s what makes them special.

🎥 Would you ride this?
