What's up guys, my name is Ryan and the
last few years I've been exploring our incredible world, and I want to share with you
my favorite places. So here's my Earth top 100! It's easy to forget how incredible our planet is.
From the wonders of South America, to the endless history of Europe, there's something worth
discovering in every corner of our world. This video is a long one, so I've made timestamps so you
can jump around to your favorite locations. Let's start this video off in Cape Town, South Africa.
If you love ocean and mountainous Landscapes, you're in luck because Cape Town has both. One of
my favorite features of Cape Town is Lion's Head. It's this wizard hat shaped peak that you can hike to
the top of. Another wild spot is Table Mountain. You can take a cable car to the top and it offers
some of the most incredible views of Cape Town from up there. One of the best beaches in Cape
Town is Camp's Bay. The water may be chilly but it offers some spectacular scenery all around. While
we're still in South Africa ,we're going to visit Drakensberg. It's a set of mountains on the South
African &Lesotho border and is home to some of the most incredible scenery. One of the craziest
places is Tugela Falls. With a height around 1000 meters, it's the second tallest waterfall
in the world. The area that is located in is called the Amphitheater. It is just this bowl of massive cliffs
that drop down to the gorge below. After we're gonna venture to Botswana to experience the
Okavango Delta. Located in the northern part of the country, the Okavango Delta is this
massive seasonal swamp that can be seen from space. The area gets flooded and it reaches its peak
water levels during the summer months. Due to the influx of water, animals come from all over
and it creates one of Africa's greatest wildlife concentrations. From elephants wandering through
the chest deep water to Red Lechwe Antelope running through the swamps, it's just incredible how much
wildlife exists in the Okavango Delta. One of the best ways to experience it is by taking a boat and
wandering through the endless canals and lagoons marveling at all the wildlife. Afterwards we're
gonna head to the famous Victoria Falls, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria
is one of the longest waterfalls in the world with a length of 1708 meters. The Zambezi River
is what powers the waterfall and one thing that I think that's unique about it is how it plunges
into this narrow gorge. It's something unique I've never seen in any other waterfalls. There's this
one place on the falls called Devil's Pool, where you can sit in the water right in the edge of
the waterfall. It looks like you're gonna fall in but thankfully the current isn't that strong.
After we're gonna visit the country of Namibia. Located on the Atlantic coast above South
Africa. When people think of Namibia the Namib Desert probably comes to mind. It's full of
massive orange sand dunes and those Oryx Antelope. One of my favorite places in the Namib desert
is Deadvlei. It's this clay pan surrounded by massive dunes and what makes it so unique is that there's
these trees that died 600 years ago because water stopped coming into the area and they are frozen
in time. After we're going to visit Tanzania. I think Tanzania is one of the most incredible
countries in Africa. From the safari to Mount Kilimanjaro, there's just so much to see. If you
like tropical Vibes you can visit Zanzibar. It's this island archipelago located just off the coast
of Tanzania. it's home to white sand beaches in a phenomenal coastline. Another one of my favorite
places in Tanzania is the Serengeti. When it comes to the African safari, the Serengeti is one of
the best places to witness Africa's Wildlife. It's home to The Great Migration which is when
the wildebeest make a circular loop around the Serengeti into Kenya's Maasai Mara every year. The
iconic feature of Tanzania, and African general is Mount Kilimanjaro. It's the tallest place in Africa
and also the highest freestanding mountain in the world with an elevation of 5895 meters. What's
great about Mount Kilimanjaro is that it can be summited without climbing gear. The journey takes
anywhere from 5 to 10 days to complete. I'd love to do it someday. One of the best places
to view Mount Kilimanjaro is from the Amboseli National Park. It's located right across the border
in Kenya and I think it has one of the best views in the world. Not only because it has a great view
of Kilimanjaro, but it's often coupled with animals such as elephants roaming free throughout the park. I
mean it's a scene straight out of Lion King! Afterwards we're going to venture to Ethiopia to
visit the Simien mountains. They are home to the highest point in Ethiopia. One of my favorite
features of the Simien mountains is its wildlife. They are home to the Gelada baboons, also known
as the bleeding heart monkey, which can only be found in the Ethiopia Highlands. I mean it's
just such an interesting part of Africa. Afterwards we're going to visit the islands of
the Seychelles. Located in the Indian Ocean off the coast of East Africa, the Seychelles are an
archipelago made up of 115 islands and are home to some of the world's most famous beaches. When
you fly to the Seychelles, you'll probably come to the island of Mahe. It's the biggest island in the
archipelago and also home to Victoria which is the Island's capital. There's a lot to do and
see on Mahe and it's also a great place to venture off to the other Islands. One of the most famous
places in all the Seychelles is the beach called Anse Source d'Argent. it's located on the Island
La Digue, which you can reach by taking a ferry from the neighboring islands. It's often rated as
one of the world's most beautiful beaches and I totally understand why. It has these massive
Granite Boulders that create an otherworldly landscape. Afterwards we're gonna visit Madagascar. After
Indonesia, Madagascar is the largest island country in the world. One thing unique about Madagascar,
is that ninety percent of its plants and animal species are found nowhere else in the world. One
of the most famous places in Madagascar is The Baobab Avenue. It's this dirt street lined with
Grandidier's Baobab trees which are over 30 meters tall and almost 3000 years old. Another
destination to visit in Africa is the island of Reunion. Located in the Indian Ocean, Reunion is a
French territory with some of the most incredible terrain. It is a volcanic island and totally reminds me
of Hawaii. One of the most striking features of the island is the volcano called Piton de la Fournaise.
It's currently one of the most active volcanoes in the world with its most recent eruption in
2020. Reunion just has some of the most insane scenery. After we're gonna visit the nearby island
of Mauritius. Unlike Reunion, Mauritius is its own country. It's an incredibly beautiful island with
impressive mountain peaks and landscapes. Probably the most well-known feature of Mauritius, is its
underwater waterfall. While it isn't actually a waterfall, it creates an illusion of one and can
best be seen from the air. After we're gonna head up to Egypt to visit the Pyramids of Giza. As
one of the Ancient Wonders of the World, I think the Pyramids of Giza are someone most baffling
and intriguing structures on Earth. To think that thousands of years ago, millions of massive stone
blocks were used to build one of the largest structures on Earth, it's just hard to comprehend. The pyramids are full of mystery. Like how in the world were they built? what was their purpose?
And just many other questions. Some archaeologists believe that the pyramids served as a tomb for the
Pharaohs, but I think they had a different purpose. Another interesting fact about the pyramids is
that the coordinates are the exact same numbers at the speed of light. I mean whether that means something or it's just a crazy coincidence, it's definitely something to think about. Afterwards we're
gonna head over to Jordan to visit Petra. Famous for being one of the wonders of the world, I first
remember seeing Petra in the Indiana Jones movie. It's believed that the area was settled by the
Nabateans around the 4th Century BC, where they made Petra as the capital city of their Kingdom.
I think the most impressive place in Petra is the Treasury. It's his temple that was carved straight
out of sandstone Rock and is believed to have served as a mausoleum for the Nabatean kingdom.
It got its name as the Treasury because local Bedouins believed treasure was hidden inside. While
we're still in Jordan we're gonna head over to the Wadi Rum Desert. Located near the border of Saudi
Arabia, Wadi Rum is this incredible desert landscape with unique Rock features it's been the filming
location for movies such as Aladdin and Star Wars. It really feels like you're on another planet here
and no wonder why so many films are created in this beautiful desert. Afterwards we're going
to head over to Saudi Arabia. Located in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia was a rather mysterious country
until opened its borders to tourists in 2019. The largest and capital city of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh.
It's a major Financial Hub and full of fascinating skyscrapers. One of the most interesting places
in Saudi is called Al-Ula. It's located in the Northwestern part of the country and it's home to
some fascinating rock formations and ancient tombs. The area was founded back in the 6th century and
just full so much history. After we're gonna head over to the UAE to visit Dubai. Now Dubai is one of
the wildest places I've ever been. It's basically what happens when a city has a blank slate, and
limitless budget to make some of the craziest buildings and structures in the world. It's home
to the Burj Khalifa which is the world's tallest building at 830 meters high. When I was there
I went to the top 124th floor and afterwards I went down to watch the spectacular Dubai fountain
show. It was such a cool experience and I just had a great time walking around and enjoying the
light show on the Burj Khalifa. One cool thing I did while I was in Dubai was I went on a desert
Safari. We went out to the middle of the desert and got in some cars and drove on the dunes. It was a
little sketch but I had a good time watching the sunset and experiencing the crazy deserts of the
UAE. After we're gonna head over to the Himalayas to visit Nepal. Nicknamed the roof of the world,
Nepal is home to eight mountains that are over 8000 meters high including the world's tallest
peak, Mount Everest. If you do visit Nepal you're probably flying to the capital city of Kathmandu.
It's a bustling Place surrounded by the Himalayan Mountains famous for its temples and monasteries.
One thing I want to do someday is hike to Everest Base Camp. You can start by flying into
the sketchy Lukla airport and then take about two weeks to make the round-trip Journey. Base camp is
up at an elevation of 17,600 feet I mean Nepal is such an incredible country and I hope you all
can visit. After we're gonna visit the country of Pakistan. I think Pakistan is one of the most
underrated countries in Asia. It has a vast array of landscapes but my favorite feature of Pakistan
is its mountains. They are absolutely unbelievable and after Nepal they are home to the tallest
mountains in the world. One of the most intriguing places in Pakistan for me is fairy Meadows. It's
this beautiful base camp that you need to take this sketchy road to get to. It's shadowed over by
Nanga Parpat, which is the ninth tallest mountain in the world at 8125 meters and the overall
scenery here is just mind-blowing with the glacier and everything. I mean Pakistan's Mountains
truly are on another level. After we're going to visit the country of Sri Lanka. located right below
India, Sri Lanka is an island country full of lush landscapes and intriguing destinations. One of
the most recognizable places on Sri Lanka is Sigiriya, or Lion's Rock. it's this massive monolith
that sticks out the landscape and on top of it there's an ancient Fortress that was built on
the 5th Century A.D. Today it stands is one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban
planning. Afterwards we're going to head over to India to visit the Taj Mahal. When I think
of India the Taj Mahal almost all always comes to mind. It was complete in the year 1653 and took
over a billion dollars (adjusted for inflation) to complete. It was built by the Mughal Emperor
at the time as a place to house the tomb of his favorite wife. It just blows my mind that this was
created almost 400 years ago. Today it stands as a symbol for India and receives over 6 million
visitors a year. Another intriguing destination in India is Varanasi. Located on the Ganges River,
Varanasi is one of the most religious and sacred sites in India, as it serves as a central place for
many traditions in the Hindu religion. It's one of the oldest continually inhabited cities dating
back almost 4000 years. I mean the history and culture here is just on another level, truly is
an incredible place to experience. After we're going to visit Ladakh. Located on the borders of
Pakistan and Tibet, Ladakh is one of the highest regions in India, as it's nestled in some of the
biggest mountains in the world. There's a lot of beautiful monasteries and sites to see and the
landscapes up there are just so interesting. It's also one of the best places to see snow leopards.
another scenic place in Ladakh is the Pangong Lake. One third of its India and the other part is
in China. It's the highest saltwater lake in the world with an elevation of 4350 meters. The color
of the lake is this dark blue color, that's such a contrast between the red arid mountains. After
we're going to visit the country of the Maldives. Now when people imagine paradise, the Maldives
might come to mind. Located in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives is a country made up 1192 Islands.
It's famous for its white sand beaches, resorts and crystal clear waters. I mean if you're looking for
an ideal honeymoon destination or just a relaxing vacation, the Maldives is your place. After we're
going to visit the country of Bangladesh. Almost completely surrounded by India, Bangladesh is a
lush and vibrant country full of natural beauty and culture. The capital city of the country is
Dhaka, its old town is one of the most chaotic and wild places I've seen. If you want to see
some of Bangladesh's nature the Chittagong Hill tracks offer some incredible landscapes with its
lush rolling hills and it's also where the highest place in the country is located. If you
want to see the coast, Cox's Bazaar is home to the world's longest natural beach with a length of
155 kilometers. Bangladesh really is an incredible country that deserves to be experienced. Now
afterwards we're going to visit the ancient city of Bagan. Located in the country of Myanmar,
Bagan is this ancient city and is home to over 2000 Buddhist temples, pagodas, and monasteries.
During the 9th to 13th centuries, the Bagan Kingdom resided here. Which later became Myanmar.
Today Bagan is one of the most visited places in the country. Afterwards we're going to head to
Angkor Wat. Located in Cambodia, Angkor Wat is a temple complex and it's the largest religious
monument in the world. It's easily one of the most remarkable ancient structures on Earth and
it's just hard to fathom this place. Angkor Wat was built in the 12th century by the Khmer Empire
and it took 28 years to construct and was first used as a Hindu Temple dedicated to the god Vishnu
but towards the end of this Century Angkor Wat was used to worship Buddhism. Today it's one of the
most renowned and visit religious sites in the world and I totally understand why. Afterwards
we're going to visit Vietnam to visit the Ban Gioc Waterfalls Located in the northern part of
Vietnam, straddling the Chinese border. Ban Gioc is the biggest waterfall in Southeast Asia. I mean the
scenery here is just absolutely insane with the iconic karst mountains in the background. You can
take a boat ride to get up close to the waterfall. I mean this place is just freaking magical. Another
amazing spot in Vietnam is Ha Long Bay. Located in the Gulf of Tonkin, Ha Long Bay is this incredible
area made up of emerald waters and thousands of limestone Islands covered in Lush vegetation.
Probably the best way to experience Ha Long Bay is by taking a cruise. It can just be a few
hours, but I recommend at least doing an overnight cruise so you can witness the Ha Long bay during
sunrise and sunset. Afterwards we're gonna head to Thailand to visit the Phi Phi Islands. I first saw
these islands while watching Leonardo DiCaprio's film "The Beach". To reach the Phi Phi Islands, you can
take hour-long ferries from the nearby cities. The main islands have lots of amenities such as hotels
and restaurants and is a great place to venture after the other Islands. I think my favorite
one is Koh Phi Phi Lee. It's this insane island you can boat around and snorkel. Another amazing place
in Thailand is Phang Nga Bay, it's this Mangrove area located near Krabi and it has this almost perfect
winding river that cuts through the mangroves with jagged mountains on both sides. Another amazing
nearby place is Railay Beach. It's located just outside of Krabi and you can arrive by boat
there's just these massive rocks that overlook the beach and it's a perfect place to watch the
sunset. Afterwards we're gonna head to the mainland of Thailand to visit Khao Sok National Park. This
place is really interesting, there's this massive lake and even though it was created as a result of
a dam. The landscapes here are otherworldly. There's limestone mountains and rainforest vegetation, home
to animals such as the Asian elephant and tigers. If you can, I recommend staying here more than one
day it can spend the night on one of the Lakes floating houses and just go hiking or boating
throughout the park. After we're gonna head to the Philippines to visit Palawan. When I think of the
Philippines, the landscapes of Palawan come to mind. Jagged Limestone Islands, crystal clear waters,
and phenomenal landscapes everywhere you look. I think one of the best places in Palawan is El Nido.
there's just so many little islands and places to venture off to. I mean it's truly is Paradise here.
another nearby place is Coron. It has very similar landscapes to El Nido, but I'd say it's better
for Island tours and snorkeling. I mean both are phenomenal travel destinations. After we're gonna
head over to Indonesia to visit Bali. Bali has been one of the most popular travel destinations the
last few years! With its relatively cheap prices and incredible tropical landscapes, it's easy to
see why. One of the most popular places to visit in Bali is Nusa Penida. It's an island right
off the coast of Bali it's famous for having White Cliffs coupled with perfect beaches.
The rest of Bali is just full of rice terraces, prime surf spots, and jungle waterfalls. After Bali,
we're gonna head over to Mount Bromo! Located on the neighboring island of Java, I think mount
Bromo is one of the most impressive volcanoes in the world. The volcano itself isn't anything
crazy, but the views of the massive crater and the other volcanoes in the background is just
unbelievable. Although Mount Bromo is very active volcano, you can hike up to the top and walk around
its rim. Another one of my favorite destinations in Indonesia is the Komodo National Park. It's an
archipelago made up of three islands and it's home to the Komodo dragon. My favorite island in
the park is Padar. It's this little island with no development on it and there's also no Komodo
Dragons. You can only reach Padar by Boat. I mean I'd love to sail around these islands one day.
Afterwards we're going to visit Raja Ampat. Often called the last Paradise on Earth, Raja Ampat is
an archipelago made up of 1500 Islands. It's known for having some of the most pristine marine life
and it's one of the best places in the world to go diving. One of the most impressive places on
Raja Ampat is the Wayag islands. There's just dozens of these little islets and coves to
explore. And I can understand why it's called Paradise on Earth. After we're gonna head over
to Australia to visit Whitehaven Beach. Regularly voted as one of the best beaches in the world
Whitehaven Beach is located on the Whitsunday Islands and it can be reached by taking a boat or
seaplane. The sand is made up of Silica giving it this white color and when combined with the blue
ocean water, it creates this swirly turquoise mix that winds back into the Island's Inland. It's just
incredible to look at. Now probably one of the most famous places on Australia is the Great Barrier
Reef. It's located in the northeastern Coast of Australia and it's the biggest reef system in
the world stretching over 2300 kilometers. It can be seen from space and is the world's largest
structures made by living organisms. No wonder why it's one of the seven natural wonders of the
world. It's home to over 10 percent of all the ocean's fish species and there's also plenty
of whales and sharks there. I mean it would be a dream to go scuba diving here one day. Another
incredible place on Australia's Mainland near the Barrier Reef is the Daintree Rainforest. It's
a combination of mountains, untouched beaches, and possibly the oldest rainforest in the world, which
began over 110 million years ago. The rainforest is home to animals such as the Cassowary, which
is one of the world's biggest birds. the Daintree Rainforest has Landscapes that I had no idea existed
in Australia. The area around Cape Tribulation is so scenic with sea mountains covered in the lush
rainforest vegetation. After we're going to head into Australia's center to visit the
Outback. When you look at Australia from space, you'll notice that basically all the cities are on
the coast, but the interior of the country is this orange desolate landscape with hardly anyone
living there and that's the Outback. The most iconic landmark of the Outback is the Uluru or
Ayers Rock. It's this massive monolith made up of sandstone it's a sacred site for the indigenous
Australians. Believed to be a resting site for ancient Spirits. There's definitely an energy
there and it's just bizarre how it sits alone in the desolate Outback. After we're going to visit
the nearby country of New Zealand. After seeing movies like Lord of the Rings, I think it's safe to
say, we all want to visit New Zealand one day. New Zealand is made up of 700 Islands, but the two
major ones are the North and South if you're down for more adventure and crazy Landscapes, I'd say
the South iIsland is where it's at. It's home to the Southern Alps where Mount Cook is located. It's the
tallest mountain in New Zealand and stands over 12,218 feet high. Another cool spot is the Milford
Sound. Described as the Eighth Wonder of the world, the Milford Sound is a fjord that was carved
out by glaciers during the Ice Age. It's one of the wettest places in the world and the whole area
is just full of rainforest and magical waterfalls. If you're more into beaches, the North Island
offers so many. One of my favorites is Cathedral Cove, it's located on the Coromandel Peninsula
and requires a decent walk to reach the beach, but you'll be rewarded with one of New Zealand's most
beautiful beaches. Afterwards we're going to visit the beautiful islands of French Polynesia. Located in
the South Pacific, French Polynesia is made up of over 100 Islands. One of the most stunning islands
is Bora Bora. I mean look at this place, it doesn't even look real. Just how they're is a coral reef that
surroundeds the island and Crystal Clear Lagoon just blows my mind. It couldn't be more perfect, if
you got some money to blow you can stay at one of the ocean Bungalows that are built right above
the water. The center of the island is a dormant volcano called Mount Otemanu and it stands at
impressive 727 meters tall. Another one of my favorite Islands in French Polynesia is Mo'orea.
This place is just insanely beautiful similar to Bora Bora, the whole island of Mo'orea is surrounded
by protective coral reef and the mountains here are just stunning. Another cool thing about Mo'orea
and French Polynesia in general is one of the best places to see the humpback whales, who come
here during the late summer and early fall months. While we're still in the South Pacific,
we're going to visit Rarotonga. As the largest of the Cook Islands, Rarotonga is home to 13,000
people. Similar to French Polynesia, Rarotonga has some impressive mountains and a coral reef
that protects this little island. There's also this really cool rock formation called the needle that
is a fun hike to go on. Afterwards you're going to visit the Isle of Pines, located just off of New
Caledonia, the Isle of Pines is this really peculiar Island. I mean when I imagine a Tropical Paradise
I certainly don't think of pine trees but the Isle of Pines sure is an exception. To reach the island
you can come by a plane or Ferry. While you're there you can explore the crystal clear lagoons, accompanied with white sand and endless pine trees. I mean it's just such a unique and beautiful island.
After we're gonna head to the Caribbean to visit St Lucia. Of all the Caribbean islands, I think St
Lucia is one of the most impressive. My favorite features of Saint Lucia is its pitons which
are these jagged mountains that come straight out of the ocean. I mean I could totally imagine
Jack Sparrow sailing his ship with this as his backdrop. Right above St Lucia is the island of
Martinique. It's a French territory and it sure is beautiful. It has everything from historical towns
to beaches perfect for surfing the highest point on the island is Mount Pele with an elevation of
1397 meters. Right below the volcano is this town of Saint Pierre, it was founded back in 1635 and was known as the Paris the Caribbean. In 1902 Mount Pele erupted and the whole town
was sadly destroyed. Thankfully today it's been restored and I just love the backdrop it has
with the coast and Mount Pele. Another one of my favorite places in the Caribbean is Guadeloupe.
It's a set at 12 islands, and like Martinique, it's a French overseas region. One of the most beautiful
places on Guadalupe is Terre-de-Haut, it's this little commune that you can reach by ferry from the
neighboring Island. Once you reach it, there's this fortification called Fort Napoleon and it
was built in the 18th century and the views of the bay you get up there are just phenomenal. Afterwards we're going to head over to Central America to experience Belize. Belize is
one of my all-time favorite countries. I may be a little biased because I lived there for over
a year. It's one of the most colorful and diverse places I've ever been. It's home to the second
largest coral reef system in the world and it's home to animals, crystal clear waters, and ancient
ruins. One of my favorite places in Belize is this ruin called Xunantunitch. It's one of Belize's
most impressive and easily accessible ruins. Xunantunich translates to sculpture of the lady.
Another one of Belize's most iconic sights is the Great Blue Hole and when you think of Belize
this is what you'll probably think of. It's over 1000 feet wide and 400 feet deep truly one of the
most unique locations on Earth. After we're gonna head over to Guatemala to visit Tikal. Located in
the rainforests of northern Guatemala, Tikal is one of the most incredible archaeological sites in the
world. The area was first inhabited around the 6th Century BC but Tikal really began to flourish
between the years 200 to 850 A.D as it served as the capital of one of the most powerful ancient
Mayan Kingdoms. At its peak, there was about 60,000 Mayans in Tikal and the surrounding area.
I would love to go back in time and see what it was like to live back then. Around the end of the
9th century, Tikal's population plummeted, possibly due to overpopulation and lack of food. Today it's
an incredible place to visit I love walking around and marveling at all the temples. Afterwards,
we're going to head over to Mexico to visit the Pyramids of Teotihuacan. Located about an hour
and a half outside of Mexico City, Teotihuacan is one of the most impressive archaeological
sites in all of Mexico. It's believed to have been established around 100 BC and grew to be
one of the largest cities in the world at its time, with an estimated population of 125,000
people. My favorite place there is the Pyramid of the Sun. It was constructed around 200 A.D and
is one of the largest structures in Mesoamerica. the Pyramid of the moon is another impressive
pyramid there. I just love how it's lined up with the Avenue of the Dead with the Cerro Gordo
Mountain as its backdrop. After we're gonna head to Venezuela to witness Angel Falls! Known as the
tallest waterfall in the world with a height of 979 meters. Now special thanks to my buddy Ellis Van
Jason for sharing his FPV footage from here and many other parts of this video. He ventured into
the depths of the Venezuelan jungle for two weeks to get some of the world's most incredible footage
of this waterfall. I mean it's seriously jaw dropping. I'll link his video of his Venezuelan
Adventure in the description below so you can check it out for yourself. Now to reach Angel Falls
it's not an easy Journey. You'll fly into this town of Canaima and from there you'll take a day boat
trip up the river to reach the Falls. while it's not an easy journey to get there, the falls are
more than worth it. While we're still on the topic of waterfalls, the world's tallest single drop
waterfall is in the neighboring country of Guyana. It's called Kaieteur Falls and has a height of 226
meters. You can reach the Falls by flying into a small airport. I just love the remotest of this
place, there's literally nothing around besides the powerful waterfall. Afterwards we're going to
head over to Brazil to visit Lençóis Maranhenses. Located in northeastern part of the country, Lençóis Maranhenses is one of the most unique landscapes in South America. It's this almost endless array of
sand dunes, that fill up with these Caribbean Blue lagoons during the rainy season. You may recognize
this landscape from the planet Vormir in The Avengers movie. Afterwards, we're going gonna visit
Rio de Janeiro. I was lucky enough to visit Rio de Janeiro a few years ago and I have to say
it's one of the most wild and vibrant cities I've ever visited. It's home to beautiful beaches
and gigantic Granite mountains one of the most famous places in Rio de Janeiro is the Christ the
Redeemer. It's this massive statue that's over 38 meters tall and sits on top of the stone Pinnacle
overlooking all of Rio De Janeiro. When I was there it was absolutely packed with people but I still
had a great time walking around and marveling at this iconic location. Another one of my favorite
places in Rio was Ipanema Beach. Before visiting Brazil, this is what I imagined Rio to be
like and Ipanema Beach didn't let me down. I mean Rio de Janeiro is just a Vibe all around. After
we're going to visit Iguazu Falls. I think after Angel Falls, Iguazu is one of the most recognizable
waterfalls in all of South America. It's located right in the Brazilian and Argentina border and
it's the most powerful water flow system in the world. At its peak, Iguazu can have up to 3,300
waterfalls. The most recognizable feature of Iguazu Falls is the Devil's Throat. It's this
horseshoe-shaped chasm where majority of the water goes. After we're going to venture down to
Patagonia. Located in both bottom halves of Chile and Argentina, Patagonia is easily one of the most
beautiful regions in the world. It has fjords like Norway, Sounds like New Zealand, and the mountains
are comparable to the Alps. One of the most famous places in Patagonia is Torres Del Paine. It's
located on the Chilean side, Torres Del Paine is a national park home to animals such as Guanacos
and Pumas and it's named after its iconic three Granite Towers. Another one of the most well-known
places in Patagonia is Fitz Roy. It's this Mountain range located on the Argentinian side. I think
it's possibly one of the most beautiful mountains in the world. There's several glacial lakes and
viewpoints tomorrow this mountain range from. The area is just spectacular. After we're
gonna head over to Easter Island. Also known as Rapa Nui, Easter Island is located over 3000 km
off the coast of Chile, making it one of the most remote islands in the world. It's believed that
the island was settled around the year 1200 by Polynesians who sailed from French Polynesia. What
makes the island so mysterious and famous is its Moai statues. There are over 900 Moai on the island
and the tallest reach over 10 meters tall. It's a mystery how these statues were transported but
it's believed that logs were used to move the Moai across the island. Pretty fascinating stuff.
After we're going to Peru to visit Machu Picchu. Nestled in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu stands
as one of the most incredible archaeological sites in the world. It was built around 1450 by the
Incans and believed had been constructed as an estate for the Incan Emperor at the time.
Machu Picchu was abandoned in the year 1572, probably due to the nearby Spanish conquests,
and many of the people may have gotten smallpoxs. The Citadel was overground by the forest
and remained hidden until 1911 when it was found by the American Explorer, Hiram Bingham. Today,
Machu Picchu is one of the world's most well known archaeological sites. To reach Machu Picchu you can
hike there, or you can also take a train. Afterwards we're going to head over to Bolivia to experience
the Uyuni Salt Flats. Located in the Bolivian Andes mountains lies the largest Salt Flat in the world.
One of the most peculiar places on the Salt Flats is this little island called Incahuasi. it's
located in the middle of the salt flats with nothing around and it's home to Giant cacti and
the landscape just fills otherworldly. Another interesting fact about these Salt Flats is that
when it rained it creates the world's biggest mirror. If you can't make it to South America,
there's another Salt Flats called Bonneville in the state of Utah in the USA. I've been there
several times and I can say both are amazing and worth the journey. After we're gonna visit the
Galapagos Islands. Located right on the Equator, the Galapagos Islands are volcanic archipelago made
up of 21 Islands they were discovered in the 16th century and later popularized by Charles Darwin
who studied the Island's unique endemic animal species. Some of my favorite animals on the island
are the marine iguanas and the Blue-footed Birds. After we're gonna head to the Hawaiian Islands
to visit Kauai. Of all the Hawaiian Islands, Kauai is the oldest making it the most beautiful and
diverse. It's nicknamed The Garden Island and when you go there you'll understand why. One of
my favorite places on Kauai is the Napali Coast. There are very few places in the world, if any, that
can match the beauty of this Coastline. The Napali Coast is filled with sea cliffs that rise over
1000 meters from the ocean contrasted with deep narrow valleys that empty to the sea below. There
are several ways to experience in the Napali Coast . One of the best ways is by helicopter it can be
a little expensive but it offers incredible views of the cliffs. Another great way is through
a boat tour. You'll be able to experience the coast from a new perspective and you can also jump off
the boat and do some snorkeling in the ocean. It's truly phenomenal. If you're on a budget like me,
there's plenty of hikes and lookout spots you can go to have an amazing experience exploring
the Napali Coast. While we're still in Hawaii we're going to visit the island of Oahu. Of all
the islands in Hawaii I have to say that Oahu is my favorite. I lived here for almost a year
on the North Shore it was some of the greatest times of my life.If you love hiking, surfingm and
Adventures, Oahu is the place for you. One of the most popular places on Oahu is Waikiki. It's a
perfect combination of city and ocean. The beach is lined with high-rise hotels and it's a perfect
place to surf and catch some waves. Another one of my favorite places on Oahu is the North Shore. The
North Shore is made up of 17 miles of Coastline that is home to some of the greatest surfing in
the world. One of the most well-known beaches on the North Shore is the Bonzai pipeline. The waves
are created by a super sharp and dangerous Reef that causes the waves to break just right. During
the winter months, some of the most popular surfing competitions are held here and the waves can reach
over 20 feet high. When there aren't crazy waves I just love swimming on the North Shore, the water is
so clear and the waves are so fun to swim in. After we're gonna head to California to visit Yosemite
National park. Now Yosemite is one of the most stunning national parks in all the U.S. It's famous
for its massive Granite Cliffs, clear streams, and gigantic waterfalls. One of my favorite features
of the park is the Half Dome. It's this gigantic piece of granite that rises over 5000 feet from
the valley below. Another impressive feature of the park is the Yosemite Falls. it's one of the
world's tallest waterfalls with a height of 1430 feet. From Yosemite we're going to take a drive
on Big Sur. Located on the Pacific 101 Highway Big Sur is one of America's most scenic roads,
known for its winding turns seaside cliffs and views of the misty coastline. One of the coolest
places on Big Sur is the Bixby Creek Bridge. It's just so photogenic with the coastline. Now another
one of my favorite spots is the McWay Falls, which is this 80-foot waterfall that falls onto
the beach below. After exploring California we're going to make the drive up to Oregon. I have
to say Oregon is one of my favorite States in all the US. It's home to massive volcanoes and
countless waterfalls. Me and my wife did a road trip through the state a few years ago and it
was extremely enjoyable. I think Oregon is home to some of the best Coastline in America, I highly
recommend just driving up the 101 coastal highway. One of my favorite places on the drive is Cannon
Beach. If you watched the movie The Goonies, you'll recognize it. Another beautiful spot is the Samuel
H Boardman Scenic Corridor, it's one of the most beautiful spots on the Oregon coast in my opinion.
After we're going to visit Yellowstone National Park. Located in Wyoming, Yellowstone is one of
the USA's most visited national parks. One of the most famous places in Yellowstone is the Grand
Prismatic Spring, it's the third largest hot spring in the world with a depth of 160 feet and from
above it displays a remarkable rainbow color. You can walk on the platforms around the spring but
you'll get the best view by taking the short hike up to the Grand Prismatic Spring Overlook. Another
iconic spot in the park is Old Faithful, it's one of the world's most famous geysers because of
its reliability it erupts around every 90 minutes and the boiling water can reach 185 feet high.
Afterwards you're going to visit the American Southwest. Composed of states such as Utah and
Arizona, I think the Southwest is one of the most beautiful places in the USA. It has some of the
world's most unique rock formations and some of America's best national parks. One of my favorite
places in the Southwest is Moab. Located in Utah, Moab is a hub for adventure and exploration what's
great about Moab is there's tons of activities you can do in and around it. One of my favorites is the
Fisher Towers, it's just about a 40 minutes Drive outside of Moab. It's home to the Titan Tower
which is claimed to be the largest freestanding Rock Tower in the U.S with a prominence of 700
feet. You can do about a Four Mile round trip hike and experience all the towers From Below which
is such a cool hike with Incredible views. Another cool spot right outside of Moab is Corona
Arch. I remember the first time I saw place was in Devon Supertramp's video where they made a giant
rope swing off of it. To get to the arch it's a fairly easy hike of 2.4 miles round trip. If you
want to avoid the heat I recommend doing the hike early in the morning or in the evening and it's
just such a beautiful Arch. When you stand under it you realize how huge it is. One of the most
famous places in the American southwest is the Grand Canyon. Known as one of the seven natural
wonders of the world, it's a one mile deep 277 mile long Gorge that has been carved and sculpted
by the Colorado River. The Grand Canyon is home to endless activities and forms of exploration. Nearly
5.5 million people come to visit this Canyon every year and it's easy to see why. After we're gonna
head up to Alaska. When you think of endless wilderness, Alaska is it. It's a land full of some
of the world's biggest mountains and Glaciers and when I look at the Landscapes here they're just
so vast and untouched. One of the most wild places in Alaska is the Aleutian Islands. I think this may
be one of the most incredible destinations in all the US. Located in the Bering Sea, the Aleutian
Islands are made up of 300 Islands the largest settlement on the islands is Unalaska with about
4000 residents. There's an airport there and a decent amount of infrastructure considering
the remoteness of the island. The Landscapes here remind me of Iceland with its volcanic
terrain and just harshness. The islands are also full of History. During World War II, Japan landed
and occupied two of the Aleutian Islands making it the only Invasion on U.S soil during World
War II. Afterwards we're going to head over to Canada to visit British Columbia. Sandwiched right
between Alaska and Washington, British Columbia is an incredible area full of massive mountains and
endless beauty. British Columbia Is a Wonderland if you're into action sports it has some of the
world's best mountain biking and kayaking and it's also where the ski resort Whistler is located. While
we're still in Canada, we're going to visit Banff National Park. If you love gigantic mountains and
pristine Alpine Lakes this is the place for you. It's Canada's oldest National Park and easily one of
the most scenic. My favorite place in the park is Moraine Lake. It just has this stunning turquoise
water with a backdrop of the Rockies mountains. It's hard to match that scenery. After we're
gonna visit the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan! From the snow-covered northern island of Sapporo,
to the Japanese Alps, this little island country has so much to offer. When you get to Japan
you can visit Tokyo, it's the largest city in the world with a population over 37 million. From
Tokyo you can Venture about an hour and a half outside to visit Mount Fuji. The active volcano
is the tallest peak in Japan with a high of 12,388 feet. It's a perfect cone shape and acts as
a sacred symbol for the country. A great place to view Mount Fuji from is Lake Kawaguchi. You can
get a wonderful view of the volcano from there and overall it's just a beautiful area nearby is
the Chureito Pagoda which offers one of the most incredible views of the Sacred volcano. Afterwards
we're going to head over to China to visit the magical mountains of Zhangjiajie. Located in
the Yunnan Province ,this Forest is home to some of the world's most bizarre scenery. The park is
full of these Rock pillars that ascend from the forest floor. The are covered in Lush vegetation
and often Misty clouds adding to their magic. These rock pillars are the inspiration behind the
floating mountains in the movie Avatar. After we're going to visit the province of Guangxi.
Located in southern China on the Vietnam border this place is absolutely incredible. When I imagine
China this is the type of Landscapes I imagine. Lush valley's, vast cave systems, and mountains that
look like they are straight out of a Dr Seuss book! One of my favorite places in the province is
Yangshou. Located near the city of Guilin, the area is full of the iconic karst mountains throughout
their Province there are just thousands of these uniquely shaped mountains they are made
from eroded Limestone and I think they're so fascinating. Anyways I just want to take a boat
down the Li River and explore all that Yangshou has to offer. Afterwards we're going to visit
the Great Wall of China, this may be be the most notable feature of China, and with reason. When I
think of the Great Wall of China, I imagined one giant wall that stretches across the country, but
it's actually a series of walls that were built by different dynasties as far back as the 7th Century
BC. The walls that are most famous and recognizable today are the walls that were built by the Ming
Dynasty during the 14th century which are located about two hours outside of Beijing. In total
they're about 13,000 miles of walls across China making it one of the greatest architectural Feats
in human history. After we're gonna head over to Russia to visit the Kamchatka Peninsula. This
may be one of the most wild and beautiful places in all of Russia. It's a sea battered land dotted
with over 160 volcanoes. It's basically Russia's version of Iceland with a little bit of Alaska.
The volcanic Peninsula is home to Bears, killer whales, and some of the most stunning places I've
ever seen. There are no roads from Mainland Russia that lead to Kamchatka, so the best way to get
there is by plane. I think this may be one of the most beautiful yet undiscovered places
in the world. After Kamchatka, we're gonna head over to Siberia. Siberia is just this massive region
it makes up more than three-fourths of Russia's land area but only about 25 percent of Russia's
population lives there due to its remoteness and harsh weather. One of the craziest places in
Siberia, and all of Russia, is Lake Baikal. Located in the southern part of Siberia, Lake Baikal is the
largest freshwater lake in the world it contains more than 20 percent of all the world's fresh water.
It's also the world's deepest lake with a depth of 1642 meters. It's home to one of the only fresh
water seals. During the winter months, the ice can freeze to be two meters thick. One of the easiest
ways to get across is with a hover boat or you can have a winter workout and ice skate on the world's
largest ice rink. After Lake Baikal we're going to visit the Altai mountains. This mountain range
is nicknamed the Switzerland of Siberia and I totally understand why. I'm just blown away by the
scenery here. The Altai mountains are a mountain range that is located not only in Russia but also
extends to Mongolia, China, and Kazakhstan. Altai translates to Golden Mountain and I have to say
that the altai scenery lives up to its name with its unique colors and golden vegetation. Afterwards
we're going to Turkey to visit Istanbul. Istanbul is just one of the most fascinating places, it's a
transcontinental city which means that Istanbul is part of Europe and Asia. The bosphorus strait,
which is considered to be the boundary between Europe and Asia, runs right through the city. The
history of Istanbul is endless. It was settled as far back as the 7th Century BC and it became the
capital of the Roman Empire in 330 A.D. Now one of the most important features of Istanbul is the
Hagia Sophia. It was built all the way back in 537 A.D as a Christian church but after the fall of
Constantinople in 1453, the church was converted into a mosque. At the time of its completion it was
the world's largest interior space and the first building to use a fully pentative Dome. I mean
just such an amazing structure. After we're going to visit Cappadocia. Located in the heart
of the country, Cappadocia is famous for its unique rock formations and sky is full of hotter balloons.
Cappadocia was first mentioned in the 6th Century BC, today it's one of turkey's most recognized
places. One of the main towns in Cappadocia is Göreme, almost every morning The Horizon and Göreme
is filled with hundreds of higher balloons. It doesn't get more magical than that. Aafter we're
gonna head over to Italy to visit Sardinia! With some of Europe's best coastline, pristine
beaches, and the clearest water you've ever seen, Sardinia is the place to be! theThemain reason
I wanted to go to Sardinia was to visit Cala Goloritze. I think it's easily one of the most
beautiful beaches in all of Italy. It has these massive pointy rock formations coupled with green
Cliffs and Gatorade blue water. We anchored and immediately went for a swim. I mean the visibility
was absolutely incredible, it's some of the best I've ever swam in. Another reason I wanted to go
to Cala Goloritze is because there's a Sea Arch where you can Cliff jump. I sent a few jumps off and
it was just so much fun. I mean there's no better feeling than sending a Gainer into the ocean.
There's just so much to do and see in Sardinia I hope you can all visit one day. After Sardinia
let's head over to the Amalfi Coast. I have to say this is one of the most beautiful places
not just in Italy, but all of Europe. It's just hard to believe this place exists. Now one of the
most well-known towns on the Amalfi Coast is Positano. When you see this place in real
life you won't believe it. It's hard to beat the backdrop of the mountains filled with colorful
Villas, against the Mediterranean Sea filled with boats and yachts. One of my personal favorite
places on the Amalfi Coast is Fiordo di Furore. This is easily one of the most scenic beaches
I've ever been to. It's located in this little Fjord complemented with an incredible Arch Bridge
and it's a paradise for cliff jumping. There's so many places you can jump from. Aterwards
we're running head over to Sicily to visit the Aeolian islands. Now the Aeolian Islands are an
archipelago made up of seven inhabited Islands located off of Sicily's northern coast. The
islands were created by volcanic activity and as a result they are home to some of the most bizarre
Landscapes. We sailed around for a week and went to some of the most phenomenal places the islands
have to offer, the most epic Island on the archipelago is probably Stromboli. It's nicknamed
the Lighthouse of the Mediterranean and at night you can see lava shooting out the top. We took a
boat to the northern side of the island and got some of the best views of the volcano. After we're
going to visit Italy's Capital, Rome! Rome may be one of the most iconic cities in the world. It's
history spans over 28 Centuries with its founding taking place in 753 BC. Ancient Rome's architecture
stands today and draws millions of tourists each year. One of the most well-known structures of
the capital is the Colosseum. It's this oval shaped Amphitheater that was completed in 80 A.D it's
the largest Amphitheater ever built and could hold anywhere from 50 to 80,000 Spectators. You can
Marvel at its architecture from the outside or to get guided tour to witness the interior. Another
one of my favorite attractions is the Trevi Fountain. it's this Baroque styled fountain that
was built in 1762. There's just so much to see in Rome I hope you can all visit one day. While we're
still in Italy we're gonna head over to Tuscany. Located in central Italy, Tuscany is known for its
Landscapes history and artistic Legacy but one of my favorite places there is San Gimignano. It's
this hilltop town famous for its watchtower's and incredibly preserved medieval features.
The City of Florence is the crowning feature of Tuscany, it's considered to be the birthplace
of the Renaissance and the history there is endless. Whether you walk across the Ponte Vecchio
Bridge or Marvel at the architecture of the Duomo Florence is sure to take you back in time. After
we're gonna visit the Italian Dolomites. I have to say these are my favorite mountains in all
the world. I spent several weeks exploring these mountains and I consider it to be some of the
greatest days of my life. The dolomites are home to endless jagged peaks, scenic alpine lakes, and just
Fairy Town Villages. One of my favorite places in the dolomites is Seceda. I remember the first time
I saw a video this mountain I couldn't believe it existed. The green grass slopes contrasted with
the jagged Mountain Ridge often covering clouds makes one of the most scenic landscape combos
in the world. Another magical place nearby is Alpe di Siusi. it's home to the largest Alpine meadows
in Europe and the backdrop of the Sassolungo mountain with the farm huts create the scene straight
out of a dream. Afterwards we're going to head over to Switzerland to visit the Alps. I have to say
the Swiss Alps are one of my all-time favorite regions in the world. There's just something
magical about the massive mountains, incredible landscapes, and history that exist there. In general
I think Switzerland is one of the most well-run countries in the world and you'll know what I mean
when you visit. Everything is perfect, the only downside is that it's very expensive. One of
my favorite places in the Swiss Alps is Zermatt. It's this enchanting Village that is overlooked
by the daunting Matterhorn Mountain. Zermatt is a great place is to walk around and explore and it's
also an ideal starting place for many incredible hikes. You can take up the Gornergrat Railway to
get some incredible views of the Matterhorn and surrounding mountains. Another one of my favorite
places in the Swiss Alps is a Lauterbrunnen. It's this magical village with waterfalls that descend
upon it. I mean it's a real life fairy tale, when you visit here it's just hard to believe that
places like this actually exist. Afterwards we're gonna head over to Portugal to visit Madeira. Located
in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa, Madeira is often called the Hawaii Europe and
after visiting it I totally understand why. My favorite place on Madeira is Pico do Arieiro. it's
one of the tallest points on the island and since you're so high up you'll often be in or above
the clouds. There hiking there is exquisite the trails are so well maintained and you get some of
the most phenomenal views and you don't even need to hike that far. I was blown away by the dramatic
Peaks and unique reddish and orange colors of the rock. I mean if you're up for adventure in 2023 you
gotta give Madeira a visit. While we're still in the Atlantic we're going to visit Portugal's
archipelago of the Azores. Now the Azores are a group of nine islands like none other. They
remind me of a hybrid of New Zealand and Hawaii with rolling pastures and green scenery I mean
it's basically the Garden of Eden in real life! The largest island on the Azores is Sao Miguel.
One of the most stunning places on the island is Lagoa das Sete Cidades. It's a Twin Lake situated in the crater
of a volcano one lake is green while the other is blue. Now another one of my favorite Islands
on the Azores is Pico. It's home to the highest point in all of Portugal called Mount Pico. It's a
strata volcano that reaches 2 351 meters high and a last erupted in 1720. I just can't believe
how huge it is I mean it's just hard to beat the scenery of this volcanic archipelago. After
we're gonna head over to Spain to visit possibly my favorite island in the world Mallorca. When
you think of a Mediterranean Paradise this is it. Mallorca is home to Crystal clear water, windy roads,
and some of the world's best cliff jumping spots. When I started solo traveling this is one
of the first place I went so forever have a special place in my heart. One of my favorite
places in Mallorca is Cala Varquez. You're just going to be blown away by the beauty of this place.
It literally has everything, from sandy beaches to Prime cliff jumping spots. When I was there I
did one of my biggest cliff jumps ever and jumped off a massive 60-foot Arch. It was terrifying but
it's became one of my all-time favorite travel memories. After we're gonna head up to Ireland to
visit the dramatic Skellig Islands. Located off the coast of southern Ireland, the Skelligs are set of
two islands that are easily one of the most epic locations. The only way to reach the islands is by
boat ,we left from the town of Portmagee and it took us about an hour to reach the great Skellig.
We got off the boat and I was just so freaking stoked. We just started walking up the Island's
path until we reached the stairs that lead up to the top to the monasteries. Now the history of
the island is just absolutely fascinating, the monastic settlement dates back to the 6th Century
where the monks of Saint Fiona lived simple lives on this isolated island. They built these beehive
huts completely out of stone that were precisely designed to make sure no water could get into them. It's believed there are about 12 monks that lived here at a time in the 13th century the monks
left the island for Mainland Ireland and since then Skellig has become a place for pilgrimage all
in all the Skellig islands were one of the coolest places I've ever been and I couldn't recommend
them enough. Afterwards we're going to venture to Scotland to visit the Isle of Skye. This is one
of my favorite places, not just in Scotland but the World. You literally feel like you're in fairy tale.
I was lucky enough to go here a few summers ago and it was one of the most memorable
weeks of my life. One of the most impressive places on the island sky is the Old Man of Storr. It's
one of my all-time favorite rock formations I felt like I was on the set of Game of Thrones. When
you drive to the Storr you can see in the distance and just get you so pumped. Now to get to the old
man a Storr it's about a four kilometer hike. You'll walk through some conservation Gates and you'll
reach the infamous Rock Pinnacles. So the legend of the Old Man of Storr is supposedly a giant lived
here a long time ago and one he was buried his thumb was left sticking out of the ground creating
the mystical rock formation. After we're gonna head to the Arctic Circle to visit the Lofoten Islands. The Lofoten is located in northern Norway and even though it is in the Arctic
Circle it feels like you're on a tropical island. I was lucky enough to go there a few summers ago
and just had an incredible journey road tripping through the islands. Our first Pit Stop was that
at this little fishing Village called Henningsvær. Henningsvær is home to the world's most scenic
soccer field. When we got there we sadly didn't have a ball we had a good time playing on the
field and enjoying the incredible views of Henningsvær. If you want to do an amazing hike I
recommend hiking to Kvalika beach. It's about a four kilometer round trip Trek and I promise it's
worth it. When you get to the beach you're going to be amazed by the landscape. It has mountains that
remind me of Switzerland, a ocean that looks like the Caribbean, and green as a tropical island.
I mean I just can't believe places like this exist especially in the Arctic Circle. Afterwards
we're gonna head down to Western Norway. I was here recently and I was just blown away by the beauty
of this country. I really like Western Norway in particular because it's home to majority of
Norway's fjords and the Landscapes there are just on another level. One of Norway's most well-known
fjords is Geirangerfjord. You can get there by driving about five or six hours from Oslo. now the
Fjord is massive and one of its most well-known features is the Seven Sisters waterfall that
Cascades 410 meters to the water below. One of my favorite features in the Fjord is Skageflå.
It's this historic Mountain Farm perched on a cliff now to get there you need to take a ferry
and then you hike up.The views up there are just breathtaking and the grassroof cabins
look like something out of a fairy tale. Another one of my favorite places in Western Norway is
Lovatnet. It's located just a few hours away from Geirangerfjord, it's this Glacier lake with distinct
turquoise water I mean such a stunning color and the scenery around the lake is unbelievable. Afer
we're gonna head over to Finland to visit Lapland . Located in Fnland's northernmost region,
Lapland is the definition of a frozen Wonderland! If you can handle the cold, Lapland may be one of
the best places to witness the Northern Lights. although the Aurora Borealis are abundant throughout
the cold winter months it can get up to negative 50 degrees Celsius in the winters so make sure you
bundle up. One thing I just love about Lapland is the snow-covered trees they look like something
should have a Dr Seuss book. Afterwards we're going to visit the Faroe Islands. located right
between Norway and Iceland in the Atlantic Ocean, now I have to say the Faroes are home to some
of the world's most dramatic landscapes. From the sheer Sea Cliffs to waterfalls straight into the
ocean, the Faroes have so much to offer. One of the most scenic places in the It's Islands
is the Mulafossur waterfall, it's located on Faroe Island and the water falls over a hundred
feet down to the ocean below. One of my personal favorite place places is the island of Kalsoy.
It has an incredible Lighthouse that overlooks some of the biggest sea cliffs I've ever seen.
While we're still in the Nordics we're gonna head across Atlantic to visit Greenland. Now Greenland
is just absolutely huge, it's the biggest island in the world but due to its harsh living conditions
only 56,000 people live there making it the least densely populated place on the planet. Now the
capital city is Nuuk and about a third of all the people in Greenland live there. I just think
Greenland has some of the most untamed and wild places. They're just endless fjords and wonders to
explore. Such a fascinating place. After we're gonna head over to Iceland to experience the land
of Fire and Ice. I have to say that Iceland is home to some of the most unique landscapes in
the world. I mean Greenland and Iceland should really switch names because there's no shortage
of green here! One of my personal favorite places in Iceland is Reynisfjara Beach. It's a black sand
beach that's about a two hour drive from Reykjavik what I really loved about the beach is its Basalt
sea stacks in the ocean it makes you want wonder how the Vikings must have felt when they washed
upon these Icelandic Shores. Another impressive place in Iceland is the Skogafoss waterfall. It's
easily one of the most impressive waterfalls in all Iceland with a drop of over 62 meters. On the
other side of Iceland you can visit the Kirkjufell. It's this uniquely shaped Mountain that looks like
Gandalf's hat. If you go during the winter time you might get lucky and experience the Northern
Lights. There's just so much to see in Iceland and I hope everyone can witness it at least once in
their life. Afterwards we're going to head over to Germany to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle. I have
to say that it is the most beautiful castle in all Europe. It's what inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty
Castle, I mean it's just the perfect place for a princess now the castle is nestled at the very tip
of Southern Germany. Neuschwanstein Castle is placed perfectly in the mountains with a phenomenal 360
view of Bavarian Alps & the town below. When I was there we walked around the castle when you're up
close you realize how huge it really is anyways I found a great vantage point in the trees with
the perfect view of the castle. I mean I just can't get over the beauty of this place.
It's truly something out of a Disney fairy tale. Afterwards we're gonna head to France to visit
Mont Saint Michel. I have to say this is easily one of my favorite places I've visited in Europe.
It's truly magical, now you can't drive directly to the tidal Island, instead you can park in the
parking lots outside and either take a shuttle or walk about four kilometers. I definitely
recommend walking if you can, as you approach the island it's quite the experience and it just
made me think of how the people must have felt throughout the ages as they came here. When
you reach the island and walk through the gates you feel like you're walking into a Harry Potter
movie. On our way back,we met up with some sheep in the fields. It definitely was the
perfect way to end our time at Mont Saint Michel. another one of my favorite places in France is
the French Riviera also known as the Cote de Azure, the French Riviera is one of the most highly
sought after destinations in Europe. It's located in southern France on the Mediterranean Sea. One
of my favorite places on the Riviera is Èze. this medieval Hilltop Village that was founded
around the 14th century when you walk through the village you'll feel like you're going back in
time. Now if you're into more nature I recommend you check out the Calanques near Cassis. They offer
some of France's best scenery with Incredible seat beaches, surrounded by daunting cliffs. The one I
really wanted to go to is called Calanque d'en Vau. When I reached the beach I was just amazed by the
Steep White Cliffs coupled with the greens of the Pines and blues of the water. We went for a swim
and the water Clarity was amazing. I wanted to find a cliff jump spot and after swimming down the
cove, I found this little rock about seven meters high and sent a few jumps off it. After we're
going to visit France's Capital Paris. Since the 17th Century Paris has been Europe's major Center
of Finance fashion and the Arts. Paris is Europe's most visited city and with all of its attractions
and fascinating history I totally understand why. The most recognizable attraction is the Eiffel
Tower, it was built in 1889. the Eiffel Tower is 324 meters high which made it the tallest man-made
structure in the world at the time. Another popular attraction is the Louvre Museum. It's the world's
largest Art Museum and it's home to Da Vinci's Mona Lisa. You can also take a drive around the
Arc de Triomphe or walk the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. there's just so much to do in this
Grand City. After we're gonna head to Greece to visit the medieval monasteries of Meteora. Located
in the central part of the country, Meteora is home to six monasteries built upon nearly inaccessible
Rock pillars. During the 14th century, monks were facing attacks from Turkish Raiders so they needed
a place where they could worship in safety. They decided to start building these monasteries upon
the Rocks. These places of Worship were perfect for the monks because the only way to reach
them was by climbing long ladders that would be drawn up whenever the monks felt threatened. The
monasteries became a place of refuge and over 20 monasteries were built during the 14th century.
I was lucky enough to go here a few years ago and when I got there I was just amazed by the
architecture of these monasteries. They were perched right on the cliff Edge and you would
just wonder how people could have built these during medieval times. If you're ever in Greece,
make sure you visit this magical place. For our final location we're going to visit one of my
favorite islands in the world, Zakynthos. I've been here twice so far and I just keep wanting to come
back. It's one of the most impressive locations I've ever been. From thousand foot White Cliffs, to
The Bluest water you've ever seen, Zakynthos has it all. The most famous place in Zakynthos is the
Shipwreck Beach. Back in the 1980s a cargo ship from Turkey was carrying Contraband and
the Greece Navy chased them into this Cove where it crashed. Over the years the sand has built up
around the ship and it's created one of the most visually stunning locations in the world. The
beach is only accessible by boat so I got on one and headed to the beach. I was just baffled
by the size of the cliff walls, they're over a thousand feet high. After checking out the beach,
I decided to get A View From The Cliffs above. I just had a good time exploring the cliff, there's
no other site like it. I waited to see the sunset and the view was just as impressive. I was amazed
how the ocean water turned into this Milky blue color while the Setting Sun turned the cliffs to
an orange hue. It'll be a sunset I'll remember for the rest of my life. Well that is it for my Earth
top 100! There's still so many places include so I'll have to make a part two. Let me know where
your favorite place is in the comments below. I also started a second Channel where I make
hour-long films to bring some peace and nature in your life. I did a video on the Wonders of the
World that I'll think you enjoy. You can find me on Instagram and Tiktok at shirley.films
It's Ryan and we will see you later [Music]
