He last worked as an outdoor recreation educator in Hong Kong, where he became interested in the Philippines through stories shared with him by Filipino colleagues. He has also previously maintained a standalone blog where his followers can suggest activities for him to experience.

Life in the Philippines Kulas acting as an ambassador for a grassroots community-led innovation program by the Department of Science and Technology. May 2021 Settling in Cagayan de Oro, a hub for much of his activities, Kulas' channels document his experiences as a traveler to different parts of the Philippines as he immerses himself in the local cultures. By February 2023, he had visited 81 of the Philippines' 82 provinces, the lone exception being the province of Sulu.

Kulas has helped in relief operations for the victims of various other typhoons that have impacted the Philippines, as he did for Haiyan back in 2013. Having been born around in Vancouver Island, he has Canadian citizenship.

While Kulas has stated that at the outset of his vlogging activities he had not originally aimed to become a Filipino citizen, he was later encouraged by a local congresswoman, Rep. Marlyn Alonte of Biñan, to consider the possibility. He became a naturalized Filipino as a result of this process in 2023 with the passing of Republic Act No. 11955, which implemented a later consolidation of the two bills into law. Alonte would later administer his oath of allegiance at his swearing-in ceremony on September 13, 2023, formalizing his citizenship. Under Canadian and Philippine laws, Jennerman is permitted to hold dual citizenship of both countries.
