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 :)

Unveiling Ashgabat, Turkmenistan: A Journey Through the City of Marble and Mystery
Discover the intriguing city of Ashgabat, where the streets of its new white marble districts are eerily quiet, earning it the nickname ‘city of the dead’. But don’t be fooled by its stillness - this city is full of surprises. In fact, it holds the Guinness World Record for having the most white marble on Earth. Join us as we uncover the secrets of this fascinating destination.
Ashgabat is the capital and largest city of Turkmenistan, located between the Karakum Desert and the Kopetdag mountain range in Central Asia. Founded in 1881 on the basis of an Ahal Teke tribal village, it was made the capital of the Turkmen Soviet Socialist Republic in 1924. The city was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1948 but has since been extensively rebuilt under Saparmurat Niyazov's White City urban renewal project.
The city is known for its lavish marble palaces, gleaming gold domes, and vast expanses of manicured parkland. Built almost entirely off the receipts of Turkmenistan’s oil and gas revenues, Ashgabat’s transformation continues at break-neck speed. Whole neighborhoods have faced the wrecking ball in the name of progress, with gleaming white marble monoliths springing up overnight like mushrooms.
Ashgabat is home to many popular attractions such as the Turkmen Museum of Fine Arts, which features sculptures, museums, and art galleries; Turkmenistan Independence Monument; World of Turkmenbashi Tales; Ertuğrul Gazi Mosque; Ashgabat National Museum of History; Monument to the Constitution; and Russian Bazaar.
Join us as we explore this unique city and discover its many wonders. From its stunning architecture to its rich history and culture, Ashgabat is a destination like no other. Don't miss this opportunity to experience one of Central Asia's most fascinating cities.

???? 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!

Spending $20 at a Turkmenistan Market
Ashgabat Turkmenistan is a strange place. I have never seen so much gold and marble in my life, but the streets seemed empty. In this Turkmenistan travel vlog, I join my friend Lexie Alford and make a trip to a local Turkmen market called the Russian Bazaar. Here, we tried street food, interacted with the locals, and witnessed some real culture.
I say real culture, because Turkmenistan is known as the North Korea of Central Asia. The president Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow has a tight grip on the country, and it's very hard to get off the normal tourist path.
Beside our hotel was a local market, we asked our guide if we could visit, and he said if we really wanted to we could, but not to bring a camera because of police. The locals had been so nice to us, so thought we would take a small chance.
One more thing to note. After I posted the first Turkmenistan travel vlog in Ashgabat, I had said that we had our US dollars exchanged to Turkmen Manat at 1 to 13. Locals commented that it's actually suppose to be 1 to 20. It's funny though, from an atm it's 1 to 3.5.
Very happy we got our money on the black market.

Visiting Turkmenistan as an American Tourist!
After a long time I finally got around to making another video! In June of 2019, I visited the country of Turkmenistan, located in Central Asia. I visited this country with a tour company called AdvanTour. This country is one of the hardest countries in the world to get a visa for.
I'm sorry for the glitches... It happens every time I make a video on my computer. I found out a way to fix it but it was too late. Hopefully on my next video there won't be glitches!
Turkmenistan: World’s Strangest Dictatorship | Fake Image VS Reality
This is one of the most mysterious countries in the world! The Turkmen people live without freedom and are often scared to share their true experience with outsiders. It’s almost impossible to get a visa to come here, but I had a chance to visit Turkmenistan several years ago, and I would love to share my thoughts on it with you.
Why the streets are always empty, why you can’t grab a bite at local cafes, why Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow needs so many palaces, why everything here is made of gold and white marble and what Jennifer Lopez had to apologise for? More about the strangest country in the world in my new video!

TURKMENISTAN & USBEKISTAN - mit dem Wohnmobil - Let's get otter here - Episode 7
In dieser Episode durchqueren wir Turkmenistan, das aufgrund seiner politischen Führung häufig mit Nordkorea verglichen wird. Unser Transit-Visum ist leider nur gültig für 5 Tage - aber damit geht es uns schon sehr viel besser, als den vielen anderen Reisenden, die erst gar kein Visum bekommen. Turkmenistan zu bereisen ist wirklich ein einmaliges und surreales Erlebnis!
Im Anschluss fahren wir durch Usbekistan und besichtigen vor allem die Städte Xiva, Bukhara und das sagenumwobene Samarkand - eines DER Drehkreuze der Seidenstraße. Eine bezaubernde Stadt in einem faszinierenden Land. Viel Spaß beim Anschauen des Videos.

SOLO Motorcycle Ride through Turkmenistan. Ep 9
Turkmenistan was the eighth country I visited and I must admit it was the strangest of all the Stans. Getting transit visa is very random - normally only 50% of applications get approved. I was lucky... this time! I spent only 3 days in Turkmenistan but I got to see one of the main attractions - The Darvaza gas crater known locally as the ''Gates of Hell. The crater is located 7km from the main road which would seem not very far, but this big sandy hill was a massive challenge for me. My poor sand riding skills weren't going to stop me from reaching my goal... I was determined to find a way there ;).

In April 2017 I left Australia for my trip around the world on a BMW F800GS. I named it “Are We There Yet”, because I don't know my final destination or the duration of this journey.
Throughout my journey I'm raising money for a young disabled child in Poland named Franek. Franek was diagnosed with cerebral palsy (weakness of the entire right side of the body) and he will require constant rehabilitation for the rest of his life. All the money raised will go directly to helping Franek and his family lead as normal a life as possible so please donate generously:

The city where DOGS ARE ILLEGAL | Ashgabat, Turkmenistan
Ashgabat Turkmenistan is one of the strangest cities I have ever made a travel vlog about.
Recently brought to the attention of the world through John Oliver's popular program Last Week Tonight, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, Turkmenistan's Dictator/President is quite a character.
However the craziness it didn't all start with him. Turkmenistan's first president, Turkmenbashi, set quite a powerful precedent.
He instated many strange rules for the country, and for the city of Ashgabat. No opera, it's too noisy, no makeup on television, the natural beauty of the Turkmen people is enough, and no dogs. Dogs were not allowed in the Capital city of Ashgabat due to their foul odor.... what?
We only had a short day in Ashgabat before continuing our trip to Merv, and eventually to roast marshmallows over the door to hell. We were able to do some sightseeing to the Arc of Neutrality, which is topped with a golden rotating statue of Turkmenbashi, also the wedding palace of happiness, and the world's largest indoor Ferris Wheel, which is the next vlog ????????
We visited in early 2019, but it's worth putting on your radar for 2020. The new president Gurbanguly has opened up the country much more than it used to be. Getting the VISA wasn't a walk in the park, but our friends at Lupine Travel set everything up for us.. Check out their trips to some of the lesser travelled countries!

In my opinion, no two countries are more bizarre than North Korea and Turkmenistan in pretty much every category across the board.
After traveling to both nations over the past few years, I find them to be shockingly similar in several ways.
In this video, I take you deeper inside both hermit kingdoms to discover how they relate to one another.
