Adventure isn’t just about where you go—it’s about how you embrace the journey, the people you meet, and the stories you tell. Travel boldly, laugh often, and leave the world a little better than you found it.
Who am I?! My name is Adam and for the past 25 years, I have been traveling the world in search of unique experiences that fuel my fire for life. This journey has taken me to over 70 countries, and I have no plans of stopping anytime soon. I decided to start this channel for fun during my trip to Oaxaca in 2020 but then quickly realized how much I enjoyed creating and sharing my travels and experiences with you. So in March 2021, I went home, sold/packed up my belongings, and bought a one-way ticket back to Mexico. Through this channel, I hope to inspire you, even just a little, to get out of your comfort zone, do those things you've been putting off, confront your fears, and live more! Together, WE ARE THE COUNTRY COLLECTORS!
Let's experience the world together!

Taking someone you care about to one of your favorite places on Earth for the first time is always a gamble.
Will they love it?
Will the culture shock be too much?
Will Bangkok completely overwhelm them?
This one is really special to me because seeing Thailand through her eyes reminded me why I fell in love with this country in the first place.
Come watch Ann’s first time in Bangkok and let me know what moment surprised you the most in the Comments section of the video. Thank you for being part of this amazing adventure!

Here’s a little preview of this Sunday’s video!
👉 youtube.com/shorts/6fCA6rtjQe8 👈
I finally took Ann to Bangkok for her very first trip to Thailand, and let’s just say… she was NOT ready for the energy of this city! 🤯
From tuk tuk rides through Chinatown to dressing up in traditional Thai clothes at Wat Arun, our first 24 hours in Bangkok were a total whirlwind. I’ve been coming here for years, but seeing the city through Ann’s eyes made it feel brand new all over again.
What do you think shocked her the most? Leave a comment down below!
1. The heat 🥵
2. The “magical” street food 🍲
3. Tuk tuk chaos 🛺
4. The Wat Arun transformation 🛕

New video drops this Sunday! 🇹🇭 (คำแปลภาษาไทยด้านล่าง)
I got to bring Ann to Thailand for the very first time, and Bangkok did what Bangkok does best…
It overwhelmed her immediately. 😂
The heat, tuk tuks, Chinatown, temples, street food, river views, ICONSIAM, mango sticky rice, and one very shocked Filipina trying to process it all.
But honestly, the best part wasn’t just watching Ann experience Bangkok for the first time…It was realizing that seeing Thailand through her eyes made it feel new for me again too.
This one is chaotic, beautiful, funny, delicious, and full of that Bangkok energy I love so much.
Come hang out with us this Sunday on The Country Collectors. Its a special one

วิดีโอใหม่ลงวันอาทิตย์นี้! 🇹🇭
ฉันได้พาแอนไปเที่ยวประเทศไทยเป็นครั้งแรก และกรุงเทพฯ ก็ทำในสิ่งที่กรุงเทพฯ ทำได้ดีที่สุด…
มันทำให้เธอตะลึงตั้งแต่แรกเห็นเลย 😂
ความร้อน รถตุ๊กตุ๊ก ไชน่าทาวน์ วัดวาอาราม อาหารริมทาง วิวแม่น้ำ ไอคอนสยาม ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง และสาวฟิลิปปินส์ที่ตกใจสุดๆ พยายามทำความเข้าใจทุกอย่าง
แต่เอาจริงๆ แล้ว ส่วนที่ดีที่สุดไม่ใช่แค่การได้เห็นแอนสัมผัสกรุงเทพฯ เป็นครั้งแรก…แต่เป็นการได้รู้ว่าการได้เห็นประเทศไทยผ่านสายตาของเธอทำให้ฉันรู้สึกใหม่ขึ้นมาอีกครั้งด้วย
วิดีโอนี้วุ่นวาย สวยงาม ตลก อร่อย และเต็มไปด้วยพลังของกรุงเทพฯ ที่ฉันรักมาก

I saw this the other day and honestly… it made me laugh, feel inspired, and question why my back already hurts getting out of bed sometimes. 😂
Apparently 65 is still considered “young” now.
But honestly… after traveling so much, I kind of get it.
One of the coolest parts of traveling is realizing life doesn’t have an expiration date on adventure. I’ve met people in their 70s and 80s backpacking, learning to dive, hiking mountains, moving to new countries, and starting completely new chapters in life.
Meanwhile some people give up at 30 because their knee made a weird sound getting out of bed once. 😅
You don’t suddenly become “too old” to live.
Too old to explore.
Too old to laugh.
Too old to try something new.
If anything, life experience makes the adventure even better.
So wherever you are in life… maybe this is your reminder that there’s still a whole world out there waiting for you. 🌎✈️
What’s one thing you still want to experience in this world no matter how old you get?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms out there — the ones who love endlessly, sacrifice quietly, support fiercely, and somehow hold everything together even when no one notices. The impact a mother can have on a life is something truly special. ❤️
And for me, today is about the woman who gave me my first sense of adventure, love, and home.
Looking back at photos like this makes me realize how lucky I’ve been to have someone in my corner through every stage of life — from this little guy in a green outfit thinking he was some kind of tiny superhero… to somehow ending up traveling the world for a living.
No matter where I go, a part of home always travels with me because of you.
Thank you for the love, sacrifices, patience, and all the moments that shaped me into who I am today. I know it wasn’t always easy.
Love you, Mom. Happy Mother’s Day. 🌎❤️
PS. Sorry I wasn’t always easy 😘

This Sunday, I’m taking you to one of the most unforgettable places I’ve experienced in the Philippines… 🇵🇭
Moalboal has amazing turquoise water, canyon adventures, jungle waterfalls and sunsets that didn’t even look real And if that wasn't enough you can swimming beside massive sardine runs just off the coast and do some of the best scuba diving in the Philippenes! It was a nonstop adventure from start to finish.
And honestly? It might be one of the most underrated spots in the Philippines right now.

NEW VIDEO THIS SUNDAY — CEBU CITY LIKE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT 🇵🇭
Most people come to Cebu for the beaches, island hopping, and resorts… but this time, I went somewhere completely different.
I spent the day walking through downtown Cebu City — away from the malls and tourist spots — to see what everyday life really looks like here.
From hidden streets covered in graffiti to local basketball courts packed with energy, friendly faces, jeepneys flying by, unexpected conversations, and moments that felt completely real… this side of Cebu surprised me.
I fed the homeless, explored busy markets, wandered through local neighborhoods, and spent time seeing a side of the city that rarely makes it into travel videos.
This isn’t the polished version of Cebu.
It’s loud, raw, welcoming, chaotic, and full of character — and honestly, it is the most interesting side of the city I’ve experienced.

We came out here to see this Buddha…
and I knew it would be big…
…but nothing prepares you for it.
You’re cruising through the canals, Bangkok life all around you — people cooking, houses right on the water, everything moving slow…
and then suddenly… it rises up over everything.
The giant Buddha at Wat Paknam Phasi Charoen…
standing about 69 meters tall — that’s over 20 stories high.
It doesn’t even feel real.
Seeing it in person, floating right past it, hits completely different.
And then inside the temple… it’s a whole different world. We even got blessed by a monk that knew me on YouTube! It was such a special day with Ann in my favorite kingdom…
I Love Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤️🙇
