I Had Dinner With One of Malaysia’s 🇲🇾 Biggest YouTubers...

When I first moved to Malaysia, I never imagined I’d meet so many incredible people who had completely changed the direction of their lives. Jack Alderton is definitely one of those people. Over the past year we’ve become good friends and after both of us had a pretty big year, we finally found the time to sit down over dinner and have a proper catch-up.

But this conversation wasn’t about filming another travel video - it was simply two friends catching up and talking honestly about life. We covered everything from becoming a full-time content creator, burnout, travelling the world, family, relationships, taking risks, networking, building a life in Malaysia and some of the biggest lessons we’ve both learned over the past year. I genuinely enjoyed this conversation and by the end of it I felt like I got to know Jack on a much more personal level. I hope you do too. If you’re not already following Jack, I’d highly recommend checking out his content. 👇 Jack Alderton 📺 YouTube:    / @jackalderton   📸 Instagram: instagram.com/mrjackalderton If you enjoyed this conversation, I’d really appreciate it if you gave the video a like and subscribed.
