On October 15th 2014 Geography now embarked on a mission to create informative profiles on every member country of the UN starting with the Afghanistan episode. Little did anyone know that it would take 10 years to complete. It's been the most amazing journey that has given me some of the best people in my life and truly unforgettable stories. I want to thank anyone and everyone that has ever been a part of the show whether it was a brief cameo or a full on co-hosting segment. You guys really do make up the channel because you guys are the world. I hope you enjoy this final chapter in this series. This truly was the most amazing thing I've ever accomplished and it's all thanks to you. -Barbs.
PS. I'm not done yet though. Stay cool Stay tuned. 😉 PSS- Yes I am aware of the image mistake in Hannah’s segment, I’m not gonna re-upload the entire video just for that
@WormBurger I think it's about they way they dressed, i.e. fancier geography now video than they were for the wedding. It's a common meme template that's been going around recently.
What a milestone. Congrats on completing all the (UN) countries. Thank you for getting millions of people interested in geography who otherwise would have not been interested. I've been here since Albania. For real.
A one-of-a-kind channel with an unbelievable mission - nothing like this can ever be replicated. Hats off to you, Barbs! What you’ve done is truly remarkable, and I think we can all agree that these unique country episodes will leave an everlasting legacy on this platform. I can’t wait to see what the future brings, but I know it will be entertaining, educational, and a joy to watch. Also, can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m sad that the class is dismissed.
@@dhruvjain4015 dude, not only am I super glad you got to cohost this Slovakia episode, but you’ve actually become a good friend that I follow up with. Let’s definitely Collab and do a project together in the future! Cheers to the Slovak king! 👏👏🫡🫡
I was 9 years old when you started this channel. Now I'm a sophomore in college watching in my dorm while skipping class. Where did the time go? Barbs you are one of the greatest bits of my childhood. I was always into learning abt new cultures but you really pushed me to learn more and more everyday. God bless you and thank you for committing to this vision you've had for a decade
One day in 2014, i asked my mums friend what country she’s from and then after receiving an answer, my mum typed on my samsung tablet “Geography videos” and asked me if I wanted to learn geography, without me even replying she threw it at me and from there I was hooked, from the Algeria episode to now. You captivated my Passion in Geography, Thank you Barbs❤.
I literally cried so much Georgraphy now has been with me through a marriage and a divorce, my cat's death, moving countries, many other things. It was always comforting knowing that I had this, thanks Barbs!! And thanks everyone. I will rewatach everything. This is a safe space.
I've had kids and lost my grandma, got fired and landed my dream job - throughout this series. We are truly blessed. All will be well @rapasvi :) The world is a beautiful place and this show definitely showed us some of that beauty. I wish you all the best.
It was a genuine pleasure to be part of the experience in Zimbabwe, Barby! To meet our new friends and to see sub-Saharan Africa in the metaphoric flesh were the highlights of the last five years of my life. It was because of you and your channel that I minored in geography in college, so please never stop being enthusiastic for it. I know that I sure won’t! Jake/Jeik
Hi Paul You probably dont know me. My name is Tom and im from the Netherlands but i already was there with you with the first Afghanistan episode. I watched literally every country and flag friday episode. I want to congratulate you and your team and friends for making it to the end of the chapter. I really enjoyed every episode and im gonna miss this but i know its not the final end. We share the love for geography (or aardrijkskunde in dutch) and learning stuff. Thank you for everything! I wish you the best. Greetings from Tom (Nijmegen, Gelderland, Nederland)
Countries at which the Geography Now co-hots first appeared in person! - Kaleb: Gabon - Noah: East Timor - Art: Poland - Hannah: Eswatini - Keith: Finland As a Geography and History lover, I love this channel and its concept, it's thoroughness but still with funny/silly twists. I learned so much throughout the years... As a youngster I used to read Atlases like crazy and your channel is my adult, digital version of this. I think I started to see your videos since Argentina or so. Hope you the best Barbs and I send my best wishes for your next projects!! 😉
Paul. You are a legend mate. I have watched this channel religiously and have seen it evolve over the years. In that time I've gone from being a secondary school teacher in my 1st year to being at the same school 10 years. I don't teach Geography but have covered many a geography lesson and spoken to the students in my classes about their favourite educational TH-cam channels. Your name comes up time and time again. You have had an impact in my little corner of England, Teesside.
CONGRATULATIONS BARBS!! This channel has been a very dear companion through my travels and I learned so much from you, so happy for you, it's been a remarkable journey, good luck in what's to come 🙏🏼😍

Here I am, 10 years later, still watching this channel because my love of geography never waned. It has been one hell of a journey from beginning to end. I remember seeing a thumbnail of someone being punched in the face with the flag of Chad in the corner. I thought “What the heck, this looks fun.” And I subscribed within minutes. I’ve been through elementary, middle, and high school, and here I am 3rd year of college still here watching these hilarious fools talk about our world. Thank you, Barbs, for the journey of a lifetime for all of us. Thank you for all the laughs and knowledge. Thank you for 10 years of entertainment. And here’s to 10 more!
This is my first time coming across this channel (the algorithm did it's things). I am a Zimbabwean in South Africa. I have got to say i was super super impressed with the level.of research that went into this. You literally distilled an entire country (the good, the bad and just the facts) into an hour and I honestly can't fault anything. Because of how good this was (and how I know how good it was) I am quite confident if I need to do research on any country, starting here will very likely give me a very good overview of that country. This was a really good watch!
this is so bittersweet! started watching when i was 13, and i'm now applying to geography master's programs. i know for a fact geography now helped to sustain my passion for geography, and for that, i'll be forever grateful. thank you guys so much for all the joy and laughs your work has brought, and i'm super excited to see what's next
@@killianobrien2007well he didn’t necessarily “skip” the Vatican. It’s actually NOT a UN member, but an observer state. This means that according to Paul’s definition, it’s not an UN recognized country.
Damn. I remembered as a highschooler I found your Brazil episode thinking "nice, a channel doing something i'm looking for!!" And got real excited. I immediately press the subscribe button. Back then I thought oh maybe at some point Barb would eventually get busy or abandon this project due to issues but this channel keeps growing, not even covid pandemic stopped this channel! And now I'm already a working adult, and still immediately watch GN whenever you upload a new country video. Feels like growing together with an old friend. Thank you for the amazing journey, you've been an excellent companion. Stay cool Barbs! Edit: I wrote this comment before I watch the video, now I have watched the video and I nearly shed a tear. Yeah I only watch GN videos and never featured in any just like many others but it feels like we all grow together as fellow GN viewers through all the years. Will be waiting for what you have in store next!
The first video I watched from you was about Eswatini about 6 years ago, and i have been a fan ever since. Its sad to see it end like this, but man was that an experience. Thank you for making my childhood ❤️
I am so honored that I was able to apart of the Zimbabwe trip with you. It was a once in a lifetime experience and it was absolutely incredible. I started watching a bit before Hannah came on the channel and this has been my favorite channel ever since. Thank you for being a huge inspiration, not just to me but to every person that has come across your videos. I can't wait to see where you take the channel next!
Being part of your final country episode was such an unforgettable experience. As someone who's always been a fan of geography, it meant so much to be involved in something that brings people together from all over the world. Thanks so much for the opportunity. That moment at 46:43 really hit me. 😢 I can’t wait to see where you’ll take us next!
Hi @boltlighting, it was after the Vietnam episode that I found out he'd is inviting some of his subscribers for the Zimbabwe ep. I just got lucky, I'm one of the first 18 who signed up for the trip. 😄
I still remember my high school geography teacher randomly showing us the Bhutan episode back in 2016. He never showed us any other episodes the whole semester, but that one video still sticks out in my mind. You guys made learning Geography fun, and helped ingrain it as one of my greatest passions.
Can't believe that after 9 years of tuning in for me, it's over. In a way we all grew up together. Thank you, Barbs. You are literally an inspiration. Best of luck in any and all future projects.
Shona has many words that are similar to Swahili language, Kubatana-Shona, Kupatana-Kiswahili. And which have the same meaning, Bantu languages, i love it.
Congrats my bro! An incredible 10 years journey and what a milestone ❤️ You have put blood, sweat and tears into content which will be remembered for generations ✨
I work with 4 Zimbabweans in my accounting firm, here in south africa. they are the hardest working people I've ever met, they are all ridiculously intelligent individuals, and they are all so kind, it's a pleasure and privilege to work with them. Fun fact, Zimbabweans are the most educated nation of people in Africa.
I remember when Australia and Afghanistan came out, how FAR this channel came from there was astounding. I’m sad this series is over, but here’s to new ones. Love ya barbs! ❤️
As a zimbabwean, I do not know if I have ever felt so seen. thank you and congratulations on the incredible work you have done. ..... by the way , I am marrying a zambian too , we love each other loooool.
I grew up watching you starting with Afghanistan, I was 7 then and I'm 17 now and it's been nothing short of an amazing journey thank you so much you have sparked a love of geography that will never die, stay awesome
I’m so glad the last episode of this show has the “blood of those who fight for the freedom” gag. What an insane journey it’s been, been watching since I was in 8th grade and now I’m a senior in college. Thank you for everything, Barbe!
What an awesome episode Barbs. Thank you so much. As a Zimbabwean, was waiting since the Colombia episode for my country. I wish there was more time for the episode as quite a few things were missed that I hoped made the episode. Those were... - Oliver Mtukudzi who's beyond just a music icon. - Malawi as a close friend as many Zimbabweans have Malawian family ties which are generational. - Along side White and Asian Zimbabweans, we also have a mixed-race 'Goffal' population like in South Africa's Cape region. - The mineral rich central part of Zim called the Great Dyke. - Notable/Famous people of Zimbabwean background in Entertainment, Academia etc. This could have easily been an hour plus episode 😅.
It was such a pleasure to see this series grow and evolve over a decade, and seeing it end makes me a bit sad for its ending. Hope you do well in the future for whatever you plan soon!
10 Years - What a journey this has been. I was never really interested in geography and never heard of your channel until covid took over and I saw myself sitting in front of my computer for hours and hours scrolling through TH-cam recommendations and finally discovering your channel. It was like an instant addiction. I've been watching every single episode, sometimes up to ten episodes a day. You guys are all great and everyone contributed so much to the show. Since we share the same taste in music, Keith has always been like a friend I've never talked to. Much love to all of you guys, I hope you'll do well. Cheers from Germany
I was 15 years old when this series started. Now, I am 25. I've been through 3 presidents, 6 jobs, 3 houses, Graduated High School and been through many trying times. It was a journey. Here we are. Thank you Paul. Here is to the next 10 years
This is a moment for the TH-cam history book! I never comment on videos but I have to this time. I found this channel back when I was 16 and i had to do a project for English class about Australia and I came across the Australia episode. I’m now 26 and holy hell has a lot happened in 10 years. It’s a long time, and the fact that this series is just now ending sets things into perspective. I’m happy to have been along for such a long time and I will surely stick around to see what will happen in the future!
Love Kieth's Opeth shirt......this episode made me emotional. Im not usually a commentor on videos, but wanted to thank all of you for the years of content and entertainment. Your channel is the first youtube channel i subscribed to and ive been watching everything ever since! Love you guys and cant wait to see what else is to come!!
I have been part of this journey for 8 years now. Thank you, Barbs, for all the time, effort, and love you've put into this series. I will miss having another episode to watch. You have truly enriched my experience here on TH-cam and brought plenty of smiles to my face. I wish I could've joined for the final country episode, but I am still eternally grateful for this experience. I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors!
Man oh man, we have reached the final episode. I can’t believe it just happened! We made it! We made it to Zimbabwe! I can’t believe it happened! One of my first episodes I watched from Geography Now (I believe) was Denmark. I was a teenager when I first watched the series around a decade ago. As a young kid who loved Geography and wanted to learn more, no other channel at the time offered good Geography like you did, Paul. Now, I am an adult entering my next stage of life and have traveled to many different parts of the world. I would like to say thank you, Paul and others on the show, for all these years. Your channel was informative, entertaining, and fun. Glad to have been apart of this wild journey. It must’ve been a difficult accomplishment. You had both great and not so great times. The good and the bad. In times of triumph and times of despair. However, it takes pure dedication to teach your love of Geography to the world on every country on the planet. But the truth of it all, it has not only made a huge impact in my life but just about every life in all corners of the globe. To reiterate, thank you, Paul, for everything and others who contributed to monumental feat. It has been a wild ride and I’m glad I was part of the journey. I’m excited to see the next chapter of your journey and see what’s in store for us in the future. So once again, thank you Paul for everything you’ve done, not for me but around the world. Best of luck to your future endeavors. Can’t wait to see what’s next! God Bless.
I started watching this series as a 9th grader in 2014 and it felt like it would be such a longggg time until you made it to the country my family is from( Somalia). Now I’m an airline pilot traveling the world and still just as obsessed with Geography Now. This series honestly may have been the only constant in my teens and now early 20s. Thanks Barbs for all the fun times!!!
Barbs, I basically got into geography and learning about different countries and cultures because of you. (I know it’s not the end lol, but) This channel has genuinely been something that has helped me discover a passion of mine, and whether you decide to do territories or not, I don’t know, but I know that I will keep supporting what you do, the realest. Funniest. Most bad*as TH-camr-showhost out there. Love you man, thanks for everything, your viewer from Armenia 🥹🇦🇲❤️
Barbs you absolute legend. Job done. I used to use these videos with my son as Geography lessons for home schooling during the UK lockdowns in 2020-2021. A fantasric resource that is now complete. Well done, congratulations to all involved
32:43 my favorite flag, the puzzle piece Thank you for making these videos for the past 10 years. I've been around on and off since Hungary when I was a kid, and now seeing Zimbabwe as a feel grown adult now... amazing!
A to Z. It’s truly been amazing following the series. I stumbled upon your channel whilst researching countries to travel to back in 2016 and have never left, catching each episode every time they are released. You’ve done great.
I've been a subscriber since the Netherlands episode. Man, it has been a great journey and I've learned a lot about the geography of each country. Thank you Barbs!
2 months later and wow crazy that this is truly over, I started watching when u did the Poland, episode, after that I fell in love with ur series and watched all ur videos in a few sittings, at that time i was a sophmore on hs, and now im a junior in college, when u started this journey i was 10 years old, now im 20, crazy to think about how much has changed Hats off to you and hoping all the best in your next jounrey!
I think I discovered this channel in 2016. I was in between school and everything. I was hooked from the jump, and I've been glad to watch your channel grow and gain such a presence along the way. Glad you're out there making the world a whole lot less empty. Congrats. Be well.
Its beautiful 😭 I don't know if you'll ever see this but your series genuinely saved my life. I was going through a rough spot in my life struggling with undiagnosed mental conditions, stress over school, and abuse. But I convinced myself to keep living just to see the series finish, and during that time my life got better. So thank you Edit: thank you so much to everyone commenting their support. I don't know if you'll ever understand how much I appreciate it but thank you
stoppp i remember being a little girl who loved geography finding ur channel now im a working woman emotional over a youtube channel im so proud of yall !!! hope yall continue posting
To put it into perspective just how long this series has gone on for: This show started while I was in middle school. Now I have graduated university with a masters degree!
I started watching this show some time after the release of the video about Chile (my country). It was love at first sight. The way you made funny jokes and actually talk about many different geographical aspects. Watched every single episode since then. Thank you for everything Barbs, I'm looking forward to this new chapter.
Barbs, I have been following you from the very beginning and cannot tell you how thankful I am to have been a part of this incredible journey. You created a one-of-a-kind series that didn’t just teach us facts but transported to entire countries. Congratulations and can’t wait to see what you do next!
Honestly felt like crying in the end, I've been subscribed since watching my home country when I was 10, about to be 20 in a few weeks...its been such an amazing ride. Thank you for teaching me so much about this world we live in, and keeping my interests in geography alive and well all these years
As a white Zimbabwean, I speak for us all when I say we are all so honoured to have you chaps in our beautiful country. Thank you for showcasing our magnificent wildlife, stunning natural beauty/heritage and kind, generous people. Nailed it 💯. Really appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Zimbabwe is a country of Lions, a people of Golden Hearts, place of Elephants and land of the King. 🦁🦁🐘🐘🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Can’t believe it has taken you exactly a decade to teach us about every country on Earth. This experience might have been very long, but I enjoyed every aspect of it. I am proud of myself for taking part in this amazing journey and learning so much about the world from you. This was one hell of a trip across Earth but I’m glad that our last flight is over. Thank you so much for the insights that you have given us about our beloved planet. We hope to see more geography related videos from you in the future, even if this series has already came to a close. Best regards from me, your fans, and the masters / veterans of geography.
10 years ago I was 14 years old. Today, I'm 24. I grew up with your channel, Barbs. Thank you for all the entertainment throughout the years. You'll never imagine how useful these videos have been to me and the respect I have for your effort. I hope someday I can repay you. Much love from Brasília from a Basque-Brazilian!!!
10 years. It's crazy to believe that so much time has happened. Thank you so much for such an incredible journey Barbs! I learned so much from your episodes. :)
And the final country episode has come. Gotta say, it completely stuck the landing Barbs. I have watched since the Germany episode (I am German myself) and have learned so much with each new episode. These episodes shaped me from a young teenager with almost no geography knowledge to a young man with rather massive geography knowledge. This show, alongside many other forms of educational content on other TH-cam channels, has given me a large amount of knowledge about and interest in all the wondrous places and people on this giant, beautiful mess of a planet we call our home. So thank you Barbs for all that you've accomplished with the show. And just know that I, alongside many others, will stick around for whatever you decide to do next.
I started watching from Episode One and have always looked forward to each episode. As a Zimbabwean, I have eagerly awaited this episode and Barbs you have done such a good job. Zimbabwe is a great country and one EVERYONE should go and visit. Thank you for 10 years of great informative and fantastic videos. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Love that Keith wore the still life 👕 in the last episode. Couldn't be a better finale! Great job Barbs, Noah, Art, Hannah, "Garry Harlow" and everyone involved in geography now ❤
It Happened.... CONGRATS🥳. I lived in this channel since Afghanistan came out. I learned a lot from this guy and his team. This guy helped me for projects of shool and other reasons.I am so happy for you. Never stop being energised and enthusiastic. Cannot wait for you to see where you to take us next!!
been a huge fan of the channel ever since 7 years ago when i found it through the germany episode and it really helped me jumpstart my passion for geography and learning about the world. tonight i actually dreamt of randomly meeting barbs, shaking his hand and telling him all that lol. it was a wonderful journey and the thing you accomplished here on this channel is truly wonderful and impressive. thank you!
Congrats Barbs! I was here since Afghanistan and you are still one of my favorite channels on the platform. Much love from your greatest Bosnian fan :)
7 years ago, I searched "geography shows" on TH-cam and found this channel. Although I still have 30 countries to watch, I thank Barbs and the crew for giving me something to look forward to watch. Also, I have shown my young children about world geography and how other people around the world live in a fun and informative way.
On October 15th 2014 Geography now embarked on a mission to create informative profiles on every member country of the UN starting with the Afghanistan episode. Little did anyone know that it would take 10 years to complete. It's been the most amazing journey that has given me some of the best people in my life and truly unforgettable stories.

If so, good choice.

Hi!
Here I am, 10 years later, still watching this channel because my love of geography never waned. It has been one hell of a journey from beginning to end. I remember seeing a thumbnail of someone being punched in the face with the flag of Chad in the corner. I thought “What the heck, this looks fun.” And I subscribed within minutes. I’ve been through elementary, middle, and high school, and here I am 3rd year of college still here watching these hilarious fools talk about our world. Thank you, Barbs, for the journey of a lifetime for all of us. Thank you for all the laughs and knowledge. Thank you for 10 years of entertainment. And here’s to 10 more!
This is my first time coming across this channel (the algorithm did it's things). I am a Zimbabwean in South Africa. I have got to say i was super super impressed with the level.of research that went into this. You literally distilled an entire country (the good, the bad and just the facts) into an hour and I honestly can't fault anything. Because of how good this was (and how I know how good it was) I am quite confident if I need to do research on any country, starting here will very likely give me a very good overview of that country. This was a really good watch!
this is so bittersweet! started watching when i was 13, and i'm now applying to geography master's programs. i know for a fact geography now helped to sustain my passion for geography, and for that, i'll be forever grateful. thank you guys so much for all the joy and laughs your work has brought, and i'm super excited to see what's next
Same I was 13
DONT CARE + MY VIDEOS ARE BETTER THAN HIS!
In 2027 when Bougainville gains independence, you’re going to need to make a new video and give everyone a hit of nostalgia
Not to mention that microstate Albania wants to create
@@godofthetranses3183 He only does UN recognized states, I don't think he will make that episode unless Albania recognizes it and is part of UN
@@5uez737 Albania will recognize it since theyre the ones setting it up, but yea it may not join the UN thats true
Especially as he skipped the Vatican
@@killianobrien2007well he didn’t necessarily “skip” the Vatican. It’s actually NOT a UN member, but an observer state. This means that according to Paul’s definition, it’s not an UN recognized country.
Damn. I remembered as a highschooler I found your Brazil episode thinking "nice, a channel doing something i'm looking for!!" And got real excited. I immediately press the subscribe button. Back then I thought oh maybe at some point Barb would eventually get busy or abandon this project due to issues but this channel keeps growing, not even covid pandemic stopped this channel!
And now I'm already a working adult, and still immediately watch GN whenever you upload a new country video.
Feels like growing together with an old friend. Thank you for the amazing journey, you've been an excellent companion.
Stay cool Barbs!
Edit: I wrote this comment before I watch the video, now I have watched the video and I nearly shed a tear. Yeah I only watch GN videos and never featured in any just like many others but it feels like we all grow together as fellow GN viewers through all the years.
Will be waiting for what you have in store next!
The Geography Now series could have potentially ended after April 2017 now that I think about it.
😮
i'm also Knew him from Brazil episode
@@FlamingBasketballClub why?
@@extsaojose Watch his "Goodbye Dad" video
The first video I watched from you was about Eswatini about 6 years ago, and i have been a fan ever since. Its sad to see it end like this, but man was that an experience. Thank you for making my childhood ❤️
I am so honored that I was able to apart of the Zimbabwe trip with you. It was a once in a lifetime experience and it was absolutely incredible. I started watching a bit before Hannah came on the channel and this has been my favorite channel ever since. Thank you for being a huge inspiration, not just to me but to every person that has come across your videos. I can't wait to see where you take the channel next!
Call me peanut butter end jelly because I couldn't be on that trip X(
Being part of your final country episode was such an unforgettable experience. As someone who's always been a fan of geography, it meant so much to be involved in something that brings people together from all over the world. Thanks so much for the opportunity. That moment at 46:43 really hit me. 😢 I can’t wait to see where you’ll take us next!
You took the words directly out of my mouth, Julius!
It was an honor..
You are most certainly lucky! I hope you can do more for yourself in the future!
How did you manage to get an invite for a trip to Zimbabwe?
Hi @boltlighting, it was after the Vietnam episode that I found out he'd is inviting some of his subscribers for the Zimbabwe ep. I just got lucky, I'm one of the first 18 who signed up for the trip. 😄
On behalf of all Zimbabweans, congratulations on this milestone!! Thank you for the thorough coverage of our Geography and history.
Amazing finish to this series! I've been here since geo now Bangladesh.
Same with me too. The first GN video I watched (Bangladesh) made me very interested in this channel. I've been a fan since.
@@saroar. haha nice. Where u from? 🤔
I still remember my high school geography teacher randomly showing us the Bhutan episode back in 2016. He never showed us any other episodes the whole semester, but that one video still sticks out in my mind. You guys made learning Geography fun, and helped ingrain it as one of my greatest passions.
Bhutan seems like a heaven on earth.
Can't believe that after 9 years of tuning in for me, it's over. In a way we all grew up together. Thank you, Barbs. You are literally an inspiration. Best of luck in any and all future projects.

Thank you 🤩
Congrats my bro! An incredible 10 years journey and what a milestone ❤️ You have put blood, sweat and tears into content which will be remembered for generations ✨
And I’m glad you got to be a part of the adventure!
I've been watching you since the australia episode.for you,i got that interest in geography like madness.i am really thànkful ❤
I work with 4 Zimbabweans in my accounting firm, here in south africa. they are the hardest working people I've ever met, they are all ridiculously intelligent individuals, and they are all so kind, it's a pleasure and privilege to work with them. Fun fact, Zimbabweans are the most educated nation of people in Africa.
It’s the 9th. Still pretty good though. Seychelles is the first
@jadonclifton - You took your sources from sketchy blogs? Zimbabweans are the most educated
Thank you 🙏🏾
@@jadonclifton No we are the most intelligent and articulate. Ask people who know us.
@@Accuface2000 Have they managed to lure the white farmers back?
I remember when Australia and Afghanistan came out, how FAR this channel came from there was astounding. I’m sad this series is over, but here’s to new ones. Love ya barbs! ❤️
Same! Saw the Australia episode come up in my TH-cam the week it was uploaded, and been here since
Started with Barbados or Bangladesh when I was 10 in 5th grade. im watching this as I'm 20 and in college…
I’m here since Benin, what an incredible journey 😢 you’re the first TH-cam channel that I followed. I was 20 now I’m 30, You have been my 20s
As a zimbabwean, I do not know if I have ever felt so seen. thank you and congratulations on the incredible work you have done. ..... by the way , I am marrying a zambian too , we love each other loooool.

Bro, when I watched your first video about Afghanistan when I was 9 years, i'm 20 years old and I understand how fast time flies😢😥
I was 4 years old when I saw afghanistan video now I'm 26 time flies
"we got a time traveler here"
I was 19, now I’m 30
This is emotional man
I remember seeing the first episode in 4th grade. I’m graduating college now
Your research skills are top notch 👌🏾 you did Zimbabwe justice. Good job to you & your team. Love ❤ from this Zimbabwean 🇿🇼
I grew up watching you starting with Afghanistan, I was 7 then and I'm 17 now and it's been nothing short of an amazing journey thank you so much you have sparked a love of geography that will never die, stay awesome
I’m so glad the last episode of this show has the “blood of those who fight for the freedom” gag. What an insane journey it’s been, been watching since I was in 8th grade and now I’m a senior in college. Thank you for everything, Barbe!
What an awesome episode Barbs. Thank you so much. As a Zimbabwean, was waiting since the Colombia episode for my country. I wish there was more time for the episode as quite a few things were missed that I hoped made the episode. Those were...
- Oliver Mtukudzi who's beyond just a music icon.
- Malawi as a close friend as many Zimbabweans have Malawian family ties which are generational.
- Along side White and Asian Zimbabweans, we also have a mixed-race 'Goffal' population like in South Africa's Cape region.
- The mineral rich central part of Zim called the Great Dyke.
- Notable/Famous people of Zimbabwean background in Entertainment, Academia etc.
This could have easily been an hour plus episode 😅.
Thank you for helping me be a straight A student in geometry
...u mean geography
@chootanf - No
this channel improved your geometry??! Maybe history and culture help you grow in Mathematics :D
It was such a pleasure to see this series grow and evolve over a decade, and seeing it end makes me a bit sad for its ending. Hope you do well in the future for whatever you plan soon!
Thank you so much for the content over these years! I'm forever thankful for being a part of the Sweden episode! TACK!
10 Years - What a journey this has been. I was never really interested in geography and never heard of your channel until covid took over and I saw myself sitting in front of my computer for hours and hours scrolling through TH-cam recommendations and finally discovering your channel. It was like an instant addiction. I've been watching every single episode, sometimes up to ten episodes a day. You guys are all great and everyone contributed so much to the show. Since we share the same taste in music, Keith has always been like a friend I've never talked to. Much love to all of you guys, I hope you'll do well. Cheers from Germany
I've watched this channel since Afghanistan's video, and it's so amazing to see how the channel has grown over the years.. what a journey it's been.
Yo then you must have been one of the first to ever find this channel! More than 3 million of us came after you, my guy
I was 15 years old when this series started. Now, I am 25. I've been through 3 presidents, 6 jobs, 3 houses, Graduated High School and been through many trying times. It was a journey. Here we are. Thank you Paul. Here is to the next 10 years
This is a moment for the TH-cam history book!
I never comment on videos but I have to this time.
I found this channel back when I was 16 and i had to do a project for English class about Australia and I came across the Australia episode.
I’m now 26 and holy hell has a lot happened in 10 years. It’s a long time, and the fact that this series is just now ending sets things into perspective.
I’m happy to have been along for such a long time and I will surely stick around to see what will happen in the future!
Love Kieth's Opeth shirt......this episode made me emotional. Im not usually a commentor on videos, but wanted to thank all of you for the years of content and entertainment. Your channel is the first youtube channel i subscribed to and ive been watching everything ever since! Love you guys and cant wait to see what else is to come!!
Watching from Zambia 🇿🇲 one love
Proud Ndebele, Zimbabwean here 🇿🇼🇿🇼 . I love how you tell our story so well, I was today years old when I learnt about the mbiresaurus
It was one of my first channels I subscribed to. After 10 years thank you Paul.
You were present from the very beginning. This is incredible
I have been part of this journey for 8 years now. Thank you, Barbs, for all the time, effort, and love you've put into this series. I will miss having another episode to watch. You have truly enriched my experience here on TH-cam and brought plenty of smiles to my face. I wish I could've joined for the final country episode, but I am still eternally grateful for this experience. I wish you all the luck in your future endeavors!
Man oh man, we have reached the final episode. I can’t believe it just happened! We made it! We made it to Zimbabwe! I can’t believe it happened! One of my first episodes I watched from Geography Now (I believe) was Denmark. I was a teenager when I first watched the series around a decade ago. As a young kid who loved Geography and wanted to learn more, no other channel at the time offered good Geography like you did, Paul. Now, I am an adult entering my next stage of life and have traveled to many different parts of the world. I would like to say thank you, Paul and others on the show, for all these years. Your channel was informative, entertaining, and fun. Glad to have been apart of this wild journey. It must’ve been a difficult accomplishment. You had both great and not so great times. The good and the bad. In times of triumph and times of despair. However, it takes pure dedication to teach your love of Geography to the world on every country on the planet. But the truth of it all, it has not only made a huge impact in my life but just about every life in all corners of the globe. To reiterate, thank you, Paul, for everything and others who contributed to monumental feat. It has been a wild ride and I’m glad I was part of the journey. I’m excited to see the next chapter of your journey and see what’s in store for us in the future. So once again, thank you Paul for everything you’ve done, not for me but around the world. Best of luck to your future endeavors. Can’t wait to see what’s next! God Bless.
I started watching this series as a 9th grader in 2014 and it felt like it would be such a longggg time until you made it to the country my family is from( Somalia). Now I’m an airline pilot traveling the world and still just as obsessed with Geography Now. This series honestly may have been the only constant in my teens and now early 20s. Thanks Barbs for all the fun times!!!
You are a pilot?
You must be rich!
And I thought Somalia dosen't have a government. Who gave you the job?
@@artificialanimeuniverse5063 lol I’m ethnically Somali. My nationality is American. 🦅🇺🇸
@@Theemeraldarcher13 Ohh.
Makes sense.
Barbs, I basically got into geography and learning about different countries and cultures because of you.
(I know it’s not the end lol, but) This channel has genuinely been something that has helped me discover a passion of mine, and whether you decide to do territories or not, I don’t know, but I know that I will keep supporting what you do, the realest. Funniest. Most bad*as TH-camr-showhost out there.
Love you man, thanks for everything, your viewer from Armenia 🥹🇦🇲❤️
Exactly man, Barbs inspired me too
Barbs you absolute legend. Job done. I used to use these videos with my son as Geography lessons for home schooling during the UK lockdowns in 2020-2021. A fantasric resource that is now complete. Well done, congratulations to all involved
Man I can’t believe it’s been one hell of a roller coaster ride! Truly an honor to watch all your episodes from A-Z
32:43 my favorite flag, the puzzle piece
Thank you for making these videos for the past 10 years. I've been around on and off since Hungary when I was a kid, and now seeing Zimbabwe as a feel grown adult now... amazing!
my goat fw my other goat this is crazy you are so peak for this fr
A to Z. It’s truly been amazing following the series. I stumbled upon your channel whilst researching countries to travel to back in 2016 and have never left, catching each episode every time they are released. You’ve done great.
I'm from India. I have been watching your videos from Germany episode. Love Zimbabwe and Geography Now. 🇿🇼🇮🇳
I support Rhodesia from Pakistan
🇵🇰❤️🔥🇳🇫
I've been a subscriber since the Netherlands episode. Man, it has been a great journey and I've learned a lot about the geography of each country.
Thank you Barbs!
I've been watching since near the beginning. Barbi's commitment to finishing the project is an example for us all. Great job!
Thank you so much Barbs, so much love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼

At last. You've made to Zimbabwe. Congratulations barbs. Your video's are awesome as always!
2 months later and wow crazy that this is truly over, I started watching when u did the Poland, episode, after that I fell in love with ur series and watched all ur videos in a few sittings, at that time i was a sophmore on hs, and now im a junior in college, when u started this journey i was 10 years old, now im 20, crazy to think about how much has changed
Hats off to you and hoping all the best in your next jounrey!
Amazing final episode! We waited a long time 🇿🇼🫶🏾
I think I discovered this channel in 2016. I was in between school and everything. I was hooked from the jump, and I've been glad to watch your channel grow and gain such a presence along the way. Glad you're out there making the world a whole lot less empty. Congrats. Be well.
Its beautiful 😭
I don't know if you'll ever see this but your series genuinely saved my life. I was going through a rough spot in my life struggling with undiagnosed mental conditions, stress over school, and abuse. But I convinced myself to keep living just to see the series finish, and during that time my life got better.
So thank you
Edit: thank you so much to everyone commenting their support. I don't know if you'll ever understand how much I appreciate it but thank you
Keep on living even after the series is ended, sir.
I’m glad you made it!
You got this. Happy you're still around!
@@DesertsOfHighfleet I'm alive and happy now. Cry about it
@@ArsontapirYou got this oomf! Good on you for holding out

To put it into perspective just how long this series has gone on for:
This show started while I was in middle school.
Now I have graduated university with a masters degree!
Ay, me too! Crazy how we grew up with this series
Same
Thanks Barby been a fan of yours since 2015. Wow 10 years from Afghan to Zimbabwe thank you for making geography videos more interesting. Rock on
I started watching this show some time after the release of the video about Chile (my country). It was love at first sight. The way you made funny jokes and actually talk about many different geographical aspects. Watched every single episode since then. Thank you for everything Barbs, I'm looking forward to this new chapter.
Barbs, I have been following you from the very beginning and cannot tell you how thankful I am to have been a part of this incredible journey. You created a one-of-a-kind series that didn’t just teach us facts but transported to entire countries. Congratulations and can’t wait to see what you do next!
Honestly felt like crying in the end, I've been subscribed since watching my home country when I was 10, about to be 20 in a few weeks...its been such an amazing ride. Thank you for teaching me so much about this world we live in, and keeping my interests in geography alive and well all these years
Congrats Geography Now!! Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
As a white Zimbabwean, I speak for us all when I say we are all so honoured to have you chaps in our beautiful country. Thank you for showcasing our magnificent wildlife, stunning natural beauty/heritage and kind, generous people. Nailed it 💯. Really appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Nailed it, couldn’t have said it better
Small point of nitpicking - the "stone" on the coat-of-arms is not just a stone, it is the main tower of the ruins of Great Zimbabwe.
Can’t believe it has taken you exactly a decade to teach us about every country on Earth. This experience might have been very long, but I enjoyed every aspect of it. I am proud of myself for taking part in this amazing journey and learning so much about the world from you. This was one hell of a trip across Earth but I’m glad that our last flight is over. Thank you so much for the insights that you have given us about our beloved planet. We hope to see more geography related videos from you in the future, even if this series has already came to a close. Best regards from me, your fans, and the masters / veterans of geography.
Discovered this channel since the Philippines episode. Multiple ups and downs along the way, but you made it! Proud of you Barbs!
10 years ago I was 14 years old. Today, I'm 24. I grew up with your channel, Barbs. Thank you for all the entertainment throughout the years. You'll never imagine how useful these videos have been to me and the respect I have for your effort. I hope someday I can repay you. Much love from Brasília from a Basque-Brazilian!!!
thank you barbs, i’ve been watching for so many years and it feels so surreal to know we’re finally at the end. never stop being you
10 years. It's crazy to believe that so much time has happened. Thank you so much for such an incredible journey Barbs! I learned so much from your episodes. :)
IvanIO, love your videos since 2021 :)
And the final country episode has come. Gotta say, it completely stuck the landing Barbs. I have watched since the Germany episode (I am German myself) and have learned so much with each new episode. These episodes shaped me from a young teenager with almost no geography knowledge to a young man with rather massive geography knowledge.
This show, alongside many other forms of educational content on other TH-cam channels, has given me a large amount of knowledge about and interest in all the wondrous places and people on this giant, beautiful mess of a planet we call our home. So thank you Barbs for all that you've accomplished with the show. And just know that I, alongside many others, will stick around for whatever you decide to do next.
I started watching from Episode One and have always looked forward to each episode. As a Zimbabwean, I have eagerly awaited this episode and Barbs you have done such a good job. Zimbabwe is a great country and one EVERYONE should go and visit. Thank you for 10 years of great informative and fantastic videos. 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
Congratulations on completing the milestone! You finally completed my childhood quest!
Thanks for the journey Barbs. Hope this video gets the millions of views your deserve.
Love that Keith wore the still life 👕 in the last episode. Couldn't be a better finale! Great job Barbs, Noah, Art, Hannah, "Garry Harlow" and everyone involved in geography now ❤
It Happened.... CONGRATS🥳. I lived in this channel since Afghanistan came out. I learned a lot from this guy and his team. This guy helped me for projects of shool and other reasons.I am so happy for you. Never stop being energised and enthusiastic. Cannot wait for you to see where you to take us next!!
been a huge fan of the channel ever since 7 years ago when i found it through the germany episode and it really helped me jumpstart my passion for geography and learning about the world.
tonight i actually dreamt of randomly meeting barbs, shaking his hand and telling him all that lol.
it was a wonderful journey and the thing you accomplished here on this channel is truly wonderful and impressive.
thank you!
I'm really glad you could make it, and I was able to watch it with everyone till the end, Thank You Geography Now
Congrats Barbs! I was here since Afghanistan and you are still one of my favorite channels on the platform. Much love from your greatest Bosnian fan :)
7 years ago, I searched "geography shows" on TH-cam and found this channel. Although I still have 30 countries to watch, I thank Barbs and the crew for giving me something to look forward to watch. Also, I have shown my young children about world geography and how other people around the world live in a fun and informative way.
what a beautiful ending to this series, it was awesome to go through all of them with you, thank you!!!
