They have been the setting for a video he has imagined creating for years, and come November, that dream could finally become a reality. The popular content creator is now preparing for his first trip to the country, with plans to visit four cities, reconnect with family, and explore opportunities to further develop his craft. But amid the excitement of travelling overseas for the first time, there is one particular moment Bailey is eagerly anticipating — standing in the heart of Times Square, surrounded by its towering digital billboards, and delivering a line he has long rehearsed in his mind.
