We’re Dom and Emma! For over a decade, we’ve been traveling the world together, turning our love for adventure into a way of life. We started out backpacking through Southeast Asia, but in 2016, vanlife became our thing—partly so we could bring our pug, Percy, along for the journey.
Since then, we’ve lived out of everything from a tiny kei car camper during three months of vanlife in Japan to larger vans exploring Europe, with highlights in the Alps, Dolomites, and Germany. We’ve also spent years living in Thailand, working as teachers and digital nomads in Chiang Mai and Phayao, soaking up the culture and making it our second home.

This travel vlog takes viewers on a culinary and nightlife adventure in Hangzhou, China, following the travelers' departure from the ancient water town of Wuzhen. The journey begins with a traditional Chinese breakfast before heading to the bustling city of Hangzhou. Upon arrival, the focus shifts immediately to food, with a visit to a popular chain restaurant called Cow Master, renowned for its spicy grilled fish. The dish, served Sichuan-style, is described as having a unique flavor profile, with a pleasant spiciness that isn't overwhelming, complemented by various accompaniments like tofu, tofu skin noodles, and Chinese leaf. A surprising element is the numbing sensation caused by Sichuan peppercorns, a sensation that initially caused alarm but was later understood as a characteristic of the spice. The travelers also highlight the generous portion sizes, noting that the meal could easily serve four to five people.
Beyond the culinary exploration, the vlog captures the vibrant nightlife scene of Hangzhou. The travelers embark on a bar crawl, armed with a "Hangzhou Drunk Map" stamp book, aiming to visit seven different bars. This experience offers a glimpse into the city's social atmosphere, with descriptions of fancy cocktails and craft beers. The vlog touches upon the travelers' differing capacities for alcohol, with one opting to leave drinks unfinished due to an early morning hike, while the other attempts to compensate. The journey through the city streets reveals clean and quiet avenues, attributed partly to the prevalence of electric vehicles. The vlog concludes with the successful completion of the bar crawl, albeit past midnight, setting the stage for an early start the next day. Throughout the video, there are subtle observations about the blend of traditional and modern elements in China, from ancient towns to modern malls and the availability of familiar convenience stores like Lawson, reminiscent of experiences in Japan.
Embarking on a delicious journey from Wuzhen to Hangzhou, this vlog dives into the heart of China's culinary scene. The travelers experience the unique, spicy grilled fish at Cow Master, marveling at the numbing Sichuan peppercorns and flavorful tofu skin noodles. As day turns to night, they explore Hangzhou's energetic bar scene, collecting stamps on their "Hangzhou Drunk Map" and enjoying a variety of drinks. This adventure showcases a vibrant mix of local flavors and nightlife, offering an authentic taste of Hangzhou.
