Right. I’m going to say something controversial in this video that a lot of you will disagree with.
And honestly? Good. Come at me.
But before you do, tell me which country you think wins and why. Because after watching this, you might change your answer.
Which round did I get WRONG? Drop it below 👇
I’ll be replying all day on this one. Let’s go.
Appreciate the comparison video and knowledge. If I could give my opinion on what I think would grow your channel & what viewers generally want, and why some lifestyle travel bloggers have 1 million subscribers+. Ideally, you would be SHOWING all of what you are talking about with this voice-over on top, people would like to travel through you, see you interact with the people, street markets, food, and sights, with price overlays for that particular thing & the total of a day out by side by side, including hotels even which makes it VERY engaging and they can visualize themselves doing it one day. You can get a pair of discrete filming glasses for $30-$50 from Temu and record your POV so you do not have to hold a camera up, which I understand can seem rude and awkward in certain cultures. P.S. Depending on your scruples & beliefs, if you made some more red-light / sex tourist tips/dos and don'ts, guides of a city, it will likely go more viral as sex sells xD
اتمنى منك ان تذهب الى بلدي المغرب بلد الجمال والطبيعة والبحر والأشجار والثلوج و مناظر طبيعيه خلابه. مغرب يمتز بطبيعة متنوعة وجبال والغابات و بحور ويمتز بمدن متنوعة تقافات والعادات. كل مدينة ولها تنوع . مرحبا بك في المغرب 🇲🇦❤️
I love how you did the comparison. IMHO Malaysia wins overall. Yes Angkor Wat is amazing but that's about it. And of course the people there are amazing. However, with Malaysia you could experience the whole SEA vibes in just one country. The people, the food, the culture, the beaches, the city or nature and the multicultural harmony is out of this world. Maybe I'm biased i dont know 😂
