I’m Walt Goodridge — **The Jamaican in Asia**. I’ve been writing about Asia since 2006 and making videos since 2010. After visiting China in 2011, I’m returning in 2026 to see what’s changed — and to explore where the journey takes me next.
I don’t travel with a fixed itinerary. I stay somewhere for a while, follow my curiosity, and decide where to go next. This time I’m returning to places I visited 15 years ago, comparing what I remember with what I find today.
Learn why it took me 15 years to return! Revealed: Why China is my favorite place to travel!
