Visaginas: Lithuania's Nuclear Town ????????

???????? Since Lithuania gained it's independence in 1991 it has removed as much of its Soviet past as it possibly could unlike in other post-Soviet republics where there are constant reminders of the USSR around every corner. However in the north of the country lies the town of Visaginas where I was told I could find the last remaining Soviet mosaic ( kind of ). Join me as I head north to see how life is in Visaginas which was built to house the workers from the nearby atomic power station and maybe meet some babushkas on the way.

Nobody Visits This Country Anymore ( Find Out Why ) ????????

???????? Venezuela, the name conjures images of a country synonymous with economic collapse and violence. But is that reputation deserved or is there another side to the country that the media don't show?

Oh, and whilst there of course I had to visit the infamous Petare barrio, known as Venezuela's most dangerous hood. Would I survive? Join me and find out. Vamos a Caracas chamos!

Shout out to @BackpackerBen for accompanying me all the way from Cusco to Colombia and thanks to my chama Lucy for her help with the translations on the trip ????

The Journey Is Over ????????

This journey that started for me aged 17 in Anna’s Russian class has now come to an end. I have been officially banned from Russia for a period of three years. What great memories were created. From the villages of the Komi republic to the mountains of Dagestan, to the Siberian forests and Baikal, we have experienced so many adventures. I'll always remember the amazing Russian people I met with great fondness but it's time to to bring the curtain down.

Glory to the USSR!

Well, I thought I'd go and see if it really was just a place of monsoon floods and outbreaks of disease or, if there were some good reasons to visit the country. And what I found might surprise you so much that you might want to come visit too...Welcome to what is perhaps the world's friendlist nation: Bangladesh!

???????? PART ONE: The migrant crises along the USA's southern border has become a hot topic over the last few years with what seems to be an endless stream of people flooding across the border. But where are those migrants coming from, and why? I decided to go to the source of the issue, Venezuela, a country on the verge of collapse, and travel with the migrants north through Central America to understand the issue better. Join me on what will be my most dangerous and longest journey ever undertaken as we cross the infamous Darien Gap and other areas most people avoid unless escaping poverty.

Adventure Elliot is a bilingual travel vlogger (English and Spanish) with a particular interest in the Spanish speaking world. I enjoy taking adventures - big or small - and my goal is to show the Spanish speaking world 1 video at a time.
The goal of my channel is simple yet complex: I want to document and share authentic & educational content of anything related to Adventure Travel, Geography, & Language in the Spanish-speaking world. It's kind of a loaded topic, but it allows me to never exhaust my creative outlets. The truth is, I've always been extremely passionate about what I'm doing on my channel, but I never properly documented it when I started adventuring as a younger man in my college years. I've made over 150 Youtube videos in both English and Spanish, and I have aspirations to make 1000s more. If that sounds interesting to you, join the community and follow me along the way.. After all, we're just getting started.

How Do Polish Villagers React To a Black Foreigner? (Social Experiment)

There is a stigma around black people when it comes to traveling in certain countries, especially in Eastern Europe. Is it because some people of colour complain about their experiences in European countries as a minority and how they think they are not treated well? In my travel videos across Europe I have been documenting my own reality of life as a foreigner and my experiences on how I engage with the local people I come across on my journeys where ever it is on or off the camera all of my encounters are the same.. My travels are comfortable and enjoyable and definitely loads fun. I do not feel like a victim or threatened because my colour when I travel. I believe this channel can educate people from an aspect that not all people of colour are always discriminated or judged, this can be seen in all my films from me showing my encounters in some of the most remote places I have visited in Europe such as, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland and England. Although I know some people are racist but for their own reasons.. What advice can I give to anyone that wants to travel no matter the country you travel to or what your colour is. Be fearless, friendly and open to learn a few phrases for interactions, because I know it takes a lot of effort for people and confidence to approach a random stranger and start a conversation and that’s what my spontaneous village travels are about - interacting with the locals and showing how life is on the outside of the big cities and towns. Watch me on this village tour which is far from a touristic location where foreigners usually don’t go. Let’s have look how the Polish people interact with a foreigner. I Took The Wock To Poland. ????

Slavic Girl Takes Me Somewhere You've Never Heard Of...

Earlier this year myself and Alina tried entering an Uzbek exclave surrounded entirely by Kyrgyzstan. If you saw the video you will know that we were not allowed in. But we don't give up that easy...And so when we discovered that there was a new flight route started up from Uzbekistan to the unknown exclave of Sokh we decided we would have to investigate and try to get in somehow to see what lay there beyond the mountains. Oh and it just happened to mean flying on an old Soviet bi-plane. How could anyone resists such an adventure?!

Buckle up for a Soviet adventure in the mysterious land called Sokh.
First exclave video can be seen here:

AVOID Kurt Caz in Cuba!????????

I need to share something that has been haunting me since my recent trip to Cuba. I came across a crazy situation involving the YouTuber, Kurt Caz, and I feel that I must speak up about it. Please bear with me as I'm sharing with you the truth...


Just a couple of months ago, Kurt began posting Cuban videos on Fb,Youtube, tiktok etc that went viral, receiving thousands of shares and views. These videos had a crazy impact on the Cuban people, leaving them shocked and deeply affected.


I'm sad to say this, but so many people in Cuba hate him now. People have been probably imprisoned, and they will likely remain behind bars for years, all because he chose to expose them for his own gain $$.

Even a police officer confessed to me that many of the individuals he exposed are no longer free!!! (I hope it's not true)

During my two-week stay in Cuba, I heard the pain and anger firsthand from locals who couldn't even express their true feelings on my camera. They feared how their words might be edited and worried that it could be perceived as hatred towards the government, risking their own freedom.

Every day wherever I was going, because I was also filming, I listened to their stories, witnessing their hate towards Kurt. .

And really makes no freaking sense!!

Guys you need to understand that Cuba is a unique country!!!!

Why would someone expose these Cuban people who struggle to survive on meager wages?

As YouTubers, we often expose scammers, and I don't support scams or illegal activities. I will personally do the same thing if someone scams me in another country!!

But exposing a scammer in India or Brazil is different from exposing illegal activities in Cuba. In India, the scammer may be upset about being exposed, but the government or police won't take drastic action against them. In Colombia too, filming prostitutes is permissible as it is legal there.

But in Cuba?????
These people are immediately sent to jail for yeaaaars!!

How can a Kurt Caz sleep well at night knowing that he filmed someone for a minute, made thousands of dollars from it, and that poor illegal person will end up spending many years behind bars?

These girls make a mere $10 a month, while he makes thousands from his videos, essentially sealing their fate in prison for years to come. And he even f**cking approached them!!
They didn't bother him!! They didn't harass him.He knew exactly what he was doing and he even said it on his video!!!

Unless you hate humanity…You simply can’t do that!!!

In Cuba, I got scammed within the first hour ($30 for a mojito). I filmed the whole experience and it could easily go viral! Just walking around Havana for 15 minutes, you'll find many scammers, prostitutes, currency exchangers, and illegal cigar sellers. They're everywhere! They come to you; you don't have to seek them out.

But remember, this is Cuba, not the USA or Brazil. In Cuba, anyone who takes advantage of a tourist faces crazy consequences. So, what am I supposed to do?

Expose them??

It's heartbreaking to know that these people are barely making $12 a month, while a simple meal costs $20! They engage in illegal activities simply to survive and put food on the table. They'll never become wealthy.

I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that I made thousands of a poor Cuban scammer..and on the top of that!! I send him to PRISON for Years!! That’s f insane!!


Some people are simply evil. I don't claim to be an angel or perfect, but certain actions are universally condemned unless one harbors hatred towards humanity.

Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of meeting Kurt in person, and I can assure you that he fully hates anyone who doesn't worship him, especially women.


Please understand that I'm not driven by envy or animosity, regardless of his 2 million followers or wealth. It pains me deeply that I once cared for him, supported him, and loved him. He is aware of the impact I’ve had on his life.


I really hope that karma intervenes.


I feel disgusted knowing how Kurt deliberately shared these videos across various platforms: YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Facebook, and even Facebook Reels.


And finally, I want you to know that I really didn't want to post this video. I have my own reasons for not liking Kurt, and I never planned to make a video targeting him. I really hate drama or starting fights on YouTube. All I wanted was to focus on my work and keep making videos.

But when I saw what happened and how Kurt's videos affected the people of Cuba, hearing their stories and seeing their fear of speaking up... It really upset me. And then seeing Kurt share those videos everywhere and the possibility of other YouTubers following suit just for more views... It put me in a tough spot.

Even though it goes against what I wanted, I have a responsibility as a man and as a creator to tell the truth. I have to speak up, even if it means facing the anger from his fans or you guys!

Czech This Out!????????

???????? Welcome back to beautiful Prague, capitol of Czechia and now known as the city of Vietnamese alcohol shops and the region of Pankrac, known as the Venice of Central Europe. I have returned to look after a Cuban cat for a few weeks and whilst here was invited to chat to a very nice chap called Thomas about...well all kinds of things. Oh and he took me for a ride in a weird contraption you have possibly not seen before. I hadn't. Enjoy!

Looking For Love In A Ukrainian Village ( Isn't Easy ) ????????

???????? We all want to find that special someone, the person who will accept us and love us despite our madness and idiosyncrasies. We all hope that that person is out there somewhere waiting to be found. And so when myself and Johnny met a woman on a provincial bus journey who told us of the mythical village of Sofiivka, a place supposedly full of fair village maidens all searching for husbands, we decided that we would have to travel there and investigate for ourselves to see if we could find true love. Get ready for the feel good movie of the year...

The Road To Paldiski Lighthouse ????????

???????? Today is my last day in Estonia and instead of lazing around on the sofa eating Pringles and drinking Vanna Tallinn all day I decided to head out on the train to the town of Paldiski and climb it's old lighthouse. On the way I met Athur's mum, a man drinking beer in the snow at midday and found some abandoned Soviet stuff in the forest. Join me...

Avoid this Soviet Exclave!

If you look at a detailed map of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia you will see some strange shapes appearing in the very south of the country. These are the Soviet formed exclaves belonging to both Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. They were formed in the 1950s to answer the question of what to do with small regions which were ethnically diverse from the Kyrgyz Republic the people had found themselves living in due to Stalin's map making.

These exclaves had always intrigued me and I wondered what life was like in them. However there is zero information online about visiting them. However I am always up for a wasted journey so I hired a car in northern Kyrgyzstan and drove 1000kms to one of these exclaves to see if foreigners were allowed to enter or not.

Join me on a wild adventure towards the mysterious mountain exclave of Shohimardon...
