When we finally started our adventure
In this spontaneous China travel vlog, Ría and Ben, the duo behind On Tour With Dridgers, kick off their Shenzhen adventure with a whirlwind of mishaps and discoveries. It all starts with a frantic airport scene in Malaysia—Ría is limping from a surf injury in Bali, and Ben was just bitten by a stray dog, requiring a critical rabies vaccine series. The couple’s budget travel hustle shines as they scramble to meet Air Asia’s strict 7kg carry-on limit, eventually scanning a QR code to add extra weight for just £15 each. They marvel at the orderly, no-argument culture of Asian budget airlines compared to Europe, then land in Shenzhen, where the futuristic, near-empty airport and a ceiling that leaves them in awe set the tone. Their first impressions of Shenzhen are electric: a $32-a-night hotel (about £25) that blows them away with amenities like toothbrushes, slippers, and a hairbrush that Ría has kept from a previous stay. But the real heart of the vlog is Ben’s hospital visit for his second rabies jab. Thanks to a local follower named Tina who provided a translated note via WeChat, Ben navigates the language barrier—the staff speak no English—and gets his shot for just £18 (a fraction of the £91 he paid in Indonesia). The eerie emptiness of the hospital, the confusion over vaccine brands, and the eventual relief burn an emotional charge into the story. Back at the hotel, they indulge in China’s legendary convenience: a robot delivers a pile of cheap, delicious pork knuckle and rice meals for under a tenner. Ría captures the essence of their love for China, noting how locals defended them after a past taxi scam video, calling it proof that people truly want their country to improve. This vlog is a raw, unfiltered snapshot of real travel—full of near-misses, human kindness, and the magic of a country that feels like a spaceship and a home all at once.

The language barrier was huge at first, but a local follower sent me a translated note on WeChat to show at the hospital desk, which made it possible.
How much did the rabies vaccine cost in China compared to Indonesia?
It was only £18 in China, while I paid £91 in Indonesia — massively cheaper.
What was the most surprising thing about the hotel in Shenzhen?
It was only £25 a night, and it came with toothbrushes, slippers, tea, and even a hairbrush — you don't get anything like that back home.
