For Callum Mills , it is not a memorable holiday if there is no danger involved.

The Scottish YouTuber has made a living out of taking the road not taken, and it’s led him to some of the most unconventional travel experiences, like having dinner with gang members in Brazil and meeting Pablo Escobar's brother Roberto Escobar while visiting Medellín, Colombia.

It all started when Callum, better known as Callum Abroad on YouTube and social media, was stuck at home during the pandemic. He was in the second year of his nursing degree at the University of the West of Scotland when all his classes were canceled.

“The longer I spent at home, the more restless I became,” he recalled.

​One day, he decided to jump on any plane possible and pulled out a list of flights that were available from Scotland.

​“The only flight I could take was Cairo in Egypt - and I never looked back; I just kept doing,” he said.

​At the time, Callum wasn’t even interested in Cairo. He was just interested in seeing or experiencing something offbeat. This meant the pyramids were not at the top of his itinerary; he instead went to what the locals called “Garbage City,” despite warnings from locals about being attacked.

​This was the beginning of his journey to some of the most volatile places in the world, including Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Ukraine.
