Carefree Chris

My name is Chris Stevens, the creator behind Carefree Chris — a YouTube channel sharing everyday life in the Philippines through travel, motorcycles, and honest reflection. As an American living abroad, I take a grounded, slower-paced approach to adventure and daily life, exploring culture and meaning without hype, drama, or manufactured conflict. Many videos are filmed from the seat of my motorcycles, but the heart of the channel is curiosity, perspective, and what a simple, flexible life outside the U.S. can look like. 🌍 Many videos, including live streams, are available in multiple languages. Tap the gear icon to choose your language. Comments in any language are welcome. Privacy & Respect Notice I value the dignity of everyone in my footage and follow NPC guidelines for ethical data handling. I strictly adhere to Philippine laws, including the Safe Spaces Act (RA 11313). No one is ever targeted or harassed for "content." Welcome to the ride.
