What is ERITREA? ???????? The Italy of Africa?

HELLO FROM COUNTRY #172 - ERITREA!

I'm thrilled to be back in Africa where I will spend the remaining 3 months of the year! Many of you probably haven’t heard of Eritrea before and that’s because it’s a relatively new country and it’s notoriously difficult to enter (top 5 in the world). After 48 hours of roaming around the capital of Asmara and the ancient port city of Massawa, I’ve really enjoyed my time here.

I’m getting flashbacks to when I was in Ethiopia, yet also touches of Yemen Somaliland and Italy. Yes - ITALY! Eritrea is a former Italian colony and their influence is remarkably well-preserved in the form of giant cathedrals, pizza parlors, gelato shops, old Italian cars, appertivos and many people can still speak fluent Italiano.

The capital of Asmara is VERY safe, with kind-hearted people and surprisingly the weather is cold here (2,400 meters high). Unfortunately due to WiFi issues, I haven't been able to upload anything until now, but there’s no hurry because life is wonderful here! More to come soon ????????

Spending 3 Days in The World's Strangest City

✅ SUBSCRIBE for More Travel Videos:
???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

Have you ever heard of ASHGABAT, TURKMENISTAN before? If not, then get ready to learn about how strange it is here in my 170th country.

I've spent the last 24 hours roaming around the capital city of Ashgabat, and IT REMINDS ME EXACTLY OF PYONGYANG, NORTH KOREA in just about every way possible. Huge fancy buildings with very few people inside perfectly manicured gardens and boulevards with nobody on them and this eerie feeling that someone is watching over my shoulder 24/7. TURKMENISTAN IS WEIRD.

People had told me that Ashgabat was strange, but I had no idea to what extent it was until arriving here.... Find out everything you need to know about Turkmenistan's capital in this video!

How many of you guys actually knew about this place? Would love to see a show of hands :)

The World's Hardest Travel Visas to Get ($3,000?)

► SUBSCRIBE for daily travel videos:
► INSTAGRAM for more!

One of the biggest challenges of visiting every country in the world is GETTING VISAS.

Yes, even as a U.S. passport holder (one of the strongest in the world), I'm still spening countless hours, days, weeks, and months of my life figuring out how to get approval to visit dozens of countries.

In today's video, find out which are the 5 hardest visas I've had to get around the world (watch until the end to find out which one cost me $3,000 USD!!!)

Which visas have you found to be the hardest to get? Every passport has different requirements for every country (and they often change), so I'd love to hear some of your struggles!

THIS IS CRAZY!! Sorry Dutch people, you are not the tallest in the world. Not even close! You guys will not believe how tall the people are in South Sudan! Like EVERYONE on the streets of Juba (South Sudan's capital) is well over 6 feet tall, and many over 7 feet - even the females! It's one of the most unbelievable features of mankind that I've ever seen anywhere on this planet.

If you enjoyed this story, please share it with your friends! South Sudan can benefit from any positive attention as it's gone through rough times like civil war and political unrest.

Meeting the (Forgotten) Jews of Ethiopia

???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

I'm back in Ethiopia for the 3rd time because it's one of my favorite countries in Africa! I am now exploring a city in the North called Gondar, and little did I know that I'd come across thousands of fellow Jews.

As you might know by now, I enjoy connecting with Jewish communities around the world, like I've done in Afghanistan, Yemen, Turkmenistan, Georgia, Philippines among many others -- but this experience has been the most eye-opening because of how alive the Jewish culture is. Some 4,000 Ethiopian Jews are here, studying torah, keeping Shabbat and learning Hebrew.

If this is not a fascinating story, then I am not sure what is! Join me as I take you inside the world of the forgotten Jewish tribe of Ethiopia.

10 Wacky Things About TURKMENISTAN

✅ SUBSCRIBE for More Travel Videos:
???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

It's been a wild several days in Turkmenistan. In my opinion, this is (by a long shot) the world's most bizarre country.

In this video, I explain the 10 strangest things that I find about Turkmen culture -- from the thousands of white-marble buildings to the shockingly empty streets, a massive fire crater in the desert that hasn't stopped burning for 50 years, and the heavy censorship of the internet.

Turkmenistan is essentially the North Korea of Central Asia. Both the capital cities of Pyongyang and Ashgabat feel eerily similar when walking around. The only major difference is that the people of North Korea are oppressed, whereas the people of Turkmenistan seem to be warm, friendly, and hospitable.

Please share any thoughts/comments/questions about Turkmenistan and I'll be happy to answer!

Why I Really Don't Like This Country ????????

UPDATE: I WENT BACK TO BRUNEI TO GIVE IT A 2ND CHANCE!

While I constantly try to find the positives in every place I visit, there are a few nations that I just simply didn't enjoy.

The country of BRUNEI is one of them.

I went to Brunei back in 2014, three years before I made videos, but my negative experiences in the country have stuck in my mind ever since. That, combined with its absurd human rights laws such as stoning to death LGBT members, I felt like this video needed to be shared with the world.

Have you ever visited any countries that you didn't enjoy? Please share below, I'm curious to know.

Exploring Africa's Strangest Country (Djibouti)

✅ SUBSCRIBE for More Travel Videos:
???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

Have you ever heard of the country called DJIBOUTI? If not, don't feel embarrassed... because it's a very tiny country in the Horn of Africa that gets minimal tourism -- roughly 70,000 visitors per year.

Over the last 2 days, I have explored every facet of the capital & biggest city called Djibouti City. I find this place to be the most interesting country in Africa.

Here are some of my quick realizations:

- It's VERY EXPENSIVE -- I have spent more than $400 in the last 2 days and I haven't done much other than walk around, take a few taxis, eat 4 meals & sleep (keep in mind my visa was $90 and my hotel was $105).

- Walking around the streets feels very much like France, from the colonization period that started in 1884 and ended in 1977. The people here speak French (first), Arabic (second) and English (third, if any at all).

- There is a LOT OF SECURITY everywhere -- police/military guards standing on every corner (literally) with giant guns strapped to their backs. It is kind of crazy and very intimidating, but safe.

- About a quarter of Djibouti's population (~250,000 people) are living in extreme poverty, which is more extreme than you'd think given that this country is so expensive. A massive contrast between rich & poor.

All of my thoughts on this mysterious country, and more, are in this video. Have you ever been to Djibouti?

Bangladesh: People Struggling to Survive in the Most Overpopulated Country in the World

Hey, have you tried an eSIM? Get US$3 off your first eSIM data pack from Airalo. Use code ILYA6216 when you sign up or apply it at checkout.

Bangladesh is a land of troubles: the water here is black, the traffic is insane, the people are poor, and the metro only goes one way; children don’t go to school, because they have to help their parents earn a living, and men sell their girlfriends to brothels. Bangladesh is also a place where ships from all over the world end their “life”, and where manual labor is so cheap that it is getting scary. 

With all the problems of Bangladesh, will I be able to see anything good in this small country in South Asia? Let’s find out!

What is BHUTAN? Inside Asia's Hidden Country

???? My JUST GO APP is here! Connect w/ travelers for free:
✅ SUBSCRIBE for more travel videos:



Have you ever heard of BHUTAN? It's a tiny country of 800,000 people, sandwiched between India and China in the Himalayan mountains.

I arrived here in Bhutan just 2 days ago, and it has REALLY fascinated me in terms of cleanliness, friendliness and natural beauty.

Bhutan is unique. Bhutan is innovative. Bhutan takes great measures to protect their cultural identity and natural environment, which consists of 72% forest.

There are many other things that Bhutan does, which puts them in another league when compared to the rest of the world.

BHUTAN IS THE WORLD'S ONLY COUNTRY WHO:
- has banned the sale and consumption of tobacco
- absorbs more CO2 than it gives out, making them 'carbon negative'
- largest export is renewable energy
- measures their country's prosperity by happiness, not wealth
- can sentence you to life in prison for killing an endangered animal

Protecting their environment has had a positive correlation with the happiness of its people -- Bhutan consistently ranks as the happiest country in Asia and top 10 in the world overall. Maybe the rest of the world should take Bhutan's lead?

In this video, I did my best to sum up Bhutan in less than 4 minutes. This will be the first of 5 (possibly 6) videos on the country. Stay tuned to learn more!

INSIDE SOUTH SUDAN (World's Newest Country)

► SUBSCRIBE for daily travel videos:
► INSTAGRAM!

In 2011, Sudan broke into 2 separate countries. Sudan in the north and South Sudan in the South... They are completely different in every way possible.

I have spent the last 48 hours in Juba, the capital city of South Sudan, and it has been one of the most interesting and eye opening trips of my entire life.

Thankfully, was able to get in touch with some awesome locals through social media and they've been showing me around and making sure I'm safe. I say this because South Sudan is not the safest country around Africa -- it's been in a constant state of war since its existence 8 years ago. But things now seem to be much more stable than the past, and the future is bright for this oil rich country in Central/East Africa.

In this video, join me as I give you a deeper look at the people, culture and life of South Sudan. Have any questions about visiting? Comment below!

DALI KOUMBÈ: dentro al villaggio della tribù senza occhi ????????

Nell'angolo più remoto del deserto del Sahara in Mauritania, esiste un piccolo villaggio, così isolato dal mondo da non essere nemmeno sulle mappe.
• PROVA AIRUP: e usa il codice sconto PROGETTOHAPPINESS10 fino al 29.02.
Non esiste neppure una strada per raggiungerlo. Devi sapere come raggiungerlo orientandoti tra le dune. Questo luogo si chiama Dali Koumbé ed è un posto unico al mondo: qui la metà della popolazione è nata senza occhi come dicono loro, ovvero non vedente. Si tratterebbe di una leggenda secolare che ancora però fa fatica ad essere spiegata dalla medicina avvolgendo questa tribù nel mistero. Ci siamo spinti fino al confine col Mali per incontrarli e ascoltare la loro storia.

Buona visione!❤

Eritrea Explained in 11 Minutes [History, Food, and Culture]

Eritrea Unveiled: A Journey Through Its Culture & Landscape

Eritrea, located in East Africa, has a rich history and diverse landscapes. Its early history includes the Stone Age and the Aksum Kingdom, which traded with the Roman Empire. After the decline of Aksum, Eritrea faced various conquests, including by the Ottoman Empire and later Italian colonization in the 19th century. Eritrea was under British administration after World War II, then united with Ethiopia in a federation, leading to the Eritrean War of Independence, which ended in 1991. Eritrea declared independence in 1993 but has faced ongoing political upheaval and a border conflict with Ethiopia. The country's population of 3.6 million includes ethnic groups such as the Tigrinya, Tigre, and Saho, and practices religions like Christianity and Islam. Geographically, Eritrea features highlands, lowlands, and the Red Sea coast. Its economy, based on agriculture and mining, faces challenges due to political isolation and insufficient infrastructure. Politically, it's a one-party state under President Isaias Afwerki, known for suppressing dissent and civil liberties. Eritrea's culture includes storytelling, literature, and cuisine like Zigni, Injera, Shiro, and Genfo.
