Nomad's real name is Phan Quoc, born in 1992, he comes from Quang Ngai and has been working on Youtube for three years. Sharing with reportersTravellive, he said he gave up his lucrative programming job to officially join the vibrant, competitive Youtube community. After three years of traveling and traveling everywhere, he was most impressed with Egypt.
The Nomad's terrifying moments when visiting Egypt
Mentioning Egypt, in addition to the magnificent pyramids, there are many mysteries and outstanding cultural and historical stories for tourists to explore. That is why Phan Quoc decided to choose this place as a stop to explore and make special videos.

“Egypt is my favorite land, Egypt has great, classic pyramids and that is the trace of a distant civilization. When I go to Egypt, I feel like I am lost in ancient times. This is a big land, there are so many things to explore. When I get there, I feel like I have conquered the destination of my life, the services are also developed such as horse riding, camel riding which makes me excited” - Phan Quoc shared.
Not only does Egypt have beautiful memories, it also has many hidden dangers. Phan Quoc confided: “Everyone knows about the problem of fraud in Egypt. During my many days of traveling in Egypt, I met many scammers and experienced many such things. When I arrived at the Valley of the Kings (a tourist destination in Egypt), I seemed to meet someone who treated me well and was always enthusiastic with me. That's why I spent all my money to invite him to a grand dinner, but in the end I discovered that he cheated me at the last minute. After that, I knew that he approached me from the beginning to create trust and had a very elaborate scam plan from the beginning.”
Phan Quoc even intended to seek help from the local police, but then cleverly resolved the matter himself: “He planned with a restaurant to raise the price four times. In a situation where he had to pay, I estimated the price and paid the correct price, so they couldn’t do anything to me.”

Despite the unpleasant events along the way, Phan Quoc is still excited about this special land. He shared:
“The reason I love Egypt is because it is special, each place has its own uniqueness. I like going to Cairo and the Valley of the Kings Luxor the most. The peaceful Alexandria Sea and the stunning Red Sea are also places that have left a deep impression on me.”
Sharing more about the living conditions here, he said: “The cost of living in Egypt is not too high, there are few luxurious places, but the tourist attractions are more expensive. Egyptian cuisine is not too difficult for me to eat, I can eat it but I don’t like it much.”
Phan Quoc's long trip to Egypt may seem expensive without proper calculations and clear planning. This Quang Ngai YouTuber shared that the cost of a one-way flight from Dubai to Egypt, with a stopover in Ethiopia, was around 10 million VND. If you intend to go to Egypt from Vietnam, find out information and try to estimate your budget appropriately.

Youtuber with a dream of traveling around the world
“In the past, when I was a programmer, I brought practical products with specific values. Now, I do Youtube because I want to convey spiritual values, inspire, bring direction, goals, and motivation to young people” - Phan Quoc emphasized.
A special thing about the Youtube channel Ke No Muc is that this channel has absolutely no script. Phan Quoc simply records his own feelings, filming wherever he goes, so the videos recorded in the middle have almost no end point.

However, the content creation process is not all rosy. Phan Quoc also faces his own personal problems. The first comes from his own content creation method: “I think a lot when creating content related to politics - religion - culture of a place I want to record. I worry about whether it is safe, correct, and whether it will affect that country or not.”
Sharing more with Travellive reporter, Mr. Phan Quoc confided about the funny and sad situations when he went to work. Because he did not put too much emphasis on making content but prioritized his own experiences, Phan Quoc went alone. This caused him a lot of inconvenience during the video filming process.
With the weight of 5-6 cameras and each one is heavy, Phan Quoc said he had to work very hard to manage and carry them throughout the journey: “Only people in the profession can feel it, outsiders cannot. Sometimes I want to set up three camera angles, but I only have two hands. Even charging the battery is a problem because I have to carry a bulky power converter. I also have to plan the battery charging schedule in advance so that none of the cameras run out of battery in the middle of filming.”

He also added: “It is very difficult at the moment, but I can only get used to it, there is no way to completely solve it. The days I sleep at the airport, I have a hard time keeping all my luggage and expensive personal belongings safe.”
It can be seen that this is one of the difficulties that cannot be ignored when it directly affects content creators. The owner of the Youtube channel Ke No Muc said that sometimes he feels tired and his health is greatly affected when having to move continuously with a huge amount of luggage.
However, when the reporter suggested that he wanted to find an assistant to make the trip go smoothly, he frankly shared: "I travel around the world to experience and it is my job, I explore this world, and Youtube is just to share the most genuine moments, not the top priority, so I don't want a team. Having an assistant will make the trip lose its privacy, fun and comfort." It can be seen that this guy born in 1992 has a huge passion for traveling.

He also humorously shared: "If I had a girlfriend, she would be my assistant."
Phan Quoc emphasized that he has only focused more on his Youtube channel Ke No Muc in the past three months. And he has a dream of traveling around the world. Hopefully, by then he will have released more videos to convey his messages to the audience.
He also shared what he liked most during his travels: “I want to share with everyone that you should respect the culture, politics, and religion of the places you go through because you are just a guest. This ensures your own safety. In places that are not very modern, no one can guarantee your safety. Show respect for the places you go through.”
