Wellcome to Monkey Abroad
This channel is about inspiring you to pursue your own dream of traveling or living abroad.
I’m Kevin Cook, the guy behind Monkey Abroad. I started this blog to share my stories and advice from living abroad, hoping to inspire you to chase your own travel dreams.
After graduating and working a few unfulfilling jobs, I headed to Thailand for a TESOL course and taught English for half a year. Then, I moved to China, teaching in Shandong before spending two years working in Shanghai, saving up for more Asian adventures. I even played American football there!
I also created the YouTube series, “Traveling for 20 Dollars a Day.” While I didn’t always stick to that budget, the main point was to help new travelers estimate costs and find fair prices for food, transport, and accommodation.
The name “Monkey Abroad” comes from my love of drawing monkeys. In college, I was even a cartoonist for the school paper, featuring a gorilla named MONKEYZILLA!
