I was hoping you would have said Tobago. I started watching you from when you visited there.
Jordan is so amazing! the food is heavenly as well, also for vegetarians 🙂 Highy recommend it!
Hoping you drop some links or names of places mentioned in the video. Couldn’t make out some of the names and can’t find them otherwise. Restaurants, beach names, Dolomites camp ground, etc.
Those places all look so beautiful! I would love to see Petra and the treasury. My favorite Indiana Jones movie is the last crusade so I would love to see it!
Jordan is on my list of places to travel! I want to see Petra! I also want to go to Antigua, Guatemala ! It looks beautiful. And of course, the Dolomites in Italy! Thank you for this wonderful video!
A lot depends on whether the U.S. is at war with the world…
I am so so happy to see India in the list. And my husband is from Jaipur. India is huge and next time you should visit north, east and south.
Is Jordan safe for solo female travellers?
Jordan, India are amazing country and places for seeing them.
I have no far from my home to Albania and Montenegro, Bosna and Herzegovina. This year will be some of this places – Mostar a Kotor 100 %.
So not true that "nobody's" talking about these destinations. Antigua is one of the most popular places to learn Spanish and one of the most beautiful cities in CA – Central America. Antigua , Petra and the Golden Triangle in India are well traveled by those seeking beauty, culture, history and good prices. Berat, Alabania (the photo you use to promote your video) has been a hot spot for the past several years, as has the Albanian riviera and Theth/Valbona. Eastern Europe, also hot, as people look for travel value for their buck. Numerous travelers are going to each of the places you mention in your video, and their videos are all over youtube actually providing information.
I have cycled through Croatia ,Montenegro , Mostar , and the Dolomites . My favorite of 17 European countries is Slovenia . Seems to have the best life balance and variety of landscapes ,architecture and food .
Have you been there ?
Kotor most relaxed .Mostar most charming and surprising , Dolomites dramatic yes .That Croatia dramatic seaside with stone walled cities and surprise of Plitivice Nat park and Kirka and the shipping history
Sorry thought this was a list of nobody talks about, bit disappointed.
Montenegro like cmon, it's been smashed for the last few years now and has cruise liners galore.
Seems Bosnia and Albania are getting a lot of attention for a while too and the dolomite is not a hidden gem.
Nice video though but misleading.
Thank you for your inspiring video. I wish you'd mentioned the price point of the places you recommended.
OK-all great places. Have yet to go to Albania & Montenegro (fall 2026). India! My thoughts: spent 28 days in NW India. Hisar, primarily, where there are quite literally, NO tourists or westerners! We could not go anywhere without being mobbed by people wanting pictures with us, wanting to touch us or practice English!! They ALL want out of India & will do almost anything to get to the US, the UK or Australia. I cannot over-emphasizet this enough! We also did the "Golden Triangle" during a 7 day road-trip. Absolutely AMAZING, The history & architecture, castles, palaces, lakes, forts, etc., are simply breathtaking. As tourists though, we could not escape the crowds suffocating interest in us-it was relentless & exhausting. My wife is an exceptionally beautiful woman & this definitely was the main issue, especially since she would dress-up in traditional Indian fashion which made EVERYONE want a picture with her. I was basically security, crowd control, transportation & personal assistant. It was OK for a while & my wife was unbelievably gracious & accommodating but it literally became an every day, every location, non-stop controlled riot. Again, though, the people are incredibly kind & excited, so I get it. & the food…wonderful!! Few more things just to be realistic: there is trash & debris everywhere. The smog & pollution is a real thing! Its hazy/overcast almost all the time. We rarely, if ever, saw blue skies. Traffic!!! You will be stunned by the traffic, driving styles & the general complete, total chaos. I drove for UPS for 35 years & have no problems driving anywhere else in the world but there is no way I would risk it in India. Overall, it's definitely a place to go but you better go with a realistic, prepared mindset.
Where are the links?
Check out the video description for links to the places mentioned. And let me know, which of these places excited you the most?
This year im going to albania❤
I’d like to visit Mostar and the rest of Bosnia (my home country that I left 30 years ago during the war).
Stop telling people to travel , every place is over run with tourists and they are making the world homogeneous!
Jordanians are hateful so why would I go there?
Albanians have the call of prayer, hate that so no thank you
India is nasty as hell, no thank you
Bosnia again Muslims, no thank you
Thank you so much for this inspiring video. I wouldn’t have thought of Albania, but it’s now on my bucket list.
Great video but the portions that are scripted by AI are quite off putting.
Been to all of these and agree except I found Albania to be boring. I enjoyed it and glad I went but nothing special.
I have the opportunity to visit Tirana this August, and friends moved to Vlore so I'd get to see them.
Already planning 3 weeks in Albania..
lupath bridges the gap between wishing for a getaway and finding your next perfect destination
Jordan has been high on my bucket list for a number of years, and the Dolomites are way up there on the list as well. My interest in Albania keeps growing so we may be going there in the next couple years. India would be fantastic, but I'm not sure my wife can handle it….we shall see. Antigua would be the farthest down on my list, but I would never rule it out. Mostar……what can I say about it other than I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Mostar. I went to the top of a Minaret and took a fantastic photo of the river and the bridge while there. I also have been to Kotor in Montenegro and absolutely loved it. This is probably going to sound weird, but the streets in Kotor were the most beautiful I have seen in Europe. The surfaces vary from a checkerboard to other designs, all in stone. It was gorgeous. Montenegro, Mostar and Albania could easily be done in one longer visit and it would be wonderful. If doing that, see Dubrovnik as well, but try to get there before the cruise ships arrive.
