Barby for US President:
"Make friends, make friends with people who are from other places." - Barby
notnavonnam better than Tramp anyway...
notnavonnam Secretary of State
notnavonnam That is an amazing idea.
notnavonnam Funny story: me and my younger brother had a debate on who would be a better president: Jake Paul or Barby.
I think we all know who would win.

That's like comparing an Atom to the Burj Khalifa.
Always remember.... the "P.O.O.P. C.A.R.E" index. use it wisely my grasshoppers.
2:26 DON'T WORRY I HAVE THE SAME FEELING!
GO TO ROMANIA NEXT!
Geography Now runining
i think every one that watches this like the same style of travel
Geography Now Please make a geographygo to south Africa and pls send me a message if you need advice on travelling there
I'm glad somebody finally mentioned the "Asian Invasion". I thought I was the only one noticing it.
"#6: Border Proximity!"
Welp, I guess Iceland is out.
Whion Do you live in Iceland??
Yes. And Greenland, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines... shoot. 😕
Actually Iceland borders with New Zealand. There is a secret passage. If you jump in the Katla volcano you will come out the Tongariro volcano in New Zealand.
Gtaguy95 is correct, but Iceland has no bordering countries so...
and the faroe islands
Traveling with an Asian invasion tour is kind of an unique experience on its self.
Thijs Seubring i couldnt find my parents for 2 hours because of it
Last vacation I was in Ulan-Bathor and some other places in Mongolia (mostly steppes) and I can only say one thing. I LOVE Mongolia. For me it's my beautifull litlle solitude where I can by my self and ride horse with bow an arrow on miles and miles of mostly empty Steppe :)
I can't wait for next vacations in Mongolia (all thoe it will not be soon due to fact it was realy expensive last time).
God bless you Mongolia
As a person living near the little mermaid in Copenhagen, I know the Asian invasion all too well
Visiblur amsterdam
Kinderdijk
and it makes other asians sad who doesn't like that invasion either.
Really? I'm an American and when I went to Copenhagan a few years ago, I saw the little mermaid and there was no one else there. You know why? IT WAS 3 IN THE MORNING! I was too broke for a hotel and no time to go to a hostel so I slept outside like a bum. Surprised I didn't get arrested..........or murdered.
Richard Schiffman Denmark is very safe. comparing to most of the us cities.
I LOVE your videos, Barby. I had an idea about your country lesson videos. In the "Friendzone" section you could mention the passport rank. I think you mentioned it in your Finland episode. You can find the passport ranking easily with a google search!
Please Like this comment if you agree so he can see this suggestion (yeah, I'm beggin for likes :P)
YakuzYah #staʟe_memes goooood idea!
pitcarin islands then...
coming for you
Leonardo Verdiani 56 now? They've been at it, it seems.
Asian invasion is totally relatable.. I live near NYC and there's buses of people coming here (nj) just to shop bc of cheaper sales tax XD
You should visit the Balkans then. In my opinion they've met all of your criteria.
Yoan Dimov And especially the border proximity. So many country in such a small area
Except for croatia, croatia is crowded with west europeans
Balkans are nice. Cheap, interesting, and extremely easy to travel around.
Fiery Gaming if you go to right place there won't be much tourist
Not nececcarily, depends where exactly you go (there aren't many tourists further inland)
Go to Balkans, man! 😃
Mister Mitinho What's a Blakan?
It's a secret kingdom
+Heather Stranger someone who descend from Blakia
gamesarefunyea Haha XD. By the way, where are you from?
Heather Stranger Oops....
You should visit Serbia it is cheap and bursting with history tradition and monuments and people are really friendly (not a lot of chinese)
prisoners of geography is amazing
Nino 94 on the flip side, "Why nation's fail" is a great book as well
What a coincidence, just started reading it. It's good.
Squipy i got why nations fail ages ago. I'm meaning to read it after I've finished school because it seems like an all consuming book, considering it comes with graphs and charts to view while listening.
I loved this video! I'm currently traveling around Europe on my own for almost 3 months and learning on the road (already have made many mistakes and learned a lot).
And I also like couchsurfing specially for small town that are not so touristic and probably the locals do know all the best places there. I love to feel local and anonymous in this small kind of towns.
In switzerland there are like 2 or 3 no.5 spots but the rest is no.1 to no.3
If you want to come, I'll show you all the cool places (mostly no.1 to no.3)
Paul you should do some Eastern European country hopping around the former USSR including western Russia of course. Most of the countries are in the EU or visa free for US citizens excluding Russia (visas are easy to get and last 3 years). It's a hidden gem over here. It's cheap and not so touristy here. The nightlife and people here in Russia are awesome. I actually prefer Russia to Spain. (I've live in both countries fro extended periods of time).
If he like to stay, where he's good friends, he'll like travel from Eastern Europe till Russia :)
+Justin Davis I absolutely agree with you exept on the Russian visa thing.. its actually quite easy, even easier then to apply for this "visa free" travel paper to the USA (still annoying as German citizen who normally doesn't need a visa to most places^^) but they last 30 days for tourists or maximum 90 days as private visas and its definetly not easy to get a longer visa except if you are ready to pay way too much money for it of cause :D
Un Queb? :O
I dont know how the prices were 10 years ago but as I found out in the Russian embassy in Germany the normal visa costs 35€ and an express visa (I think its the thing you speak about) costs 70€... sadly the whole ex USSR is very corrupt but I was told that it got at least better then some years ago and all in all visa fees itself are cancer... thats the reason I wont visit for example Belarus until they either make it visa free or at least cooperate with Russia to make an single visa for the "eurasian union"... :/
Visit Ireland
Rob Dunne EIRE GO BRAGH 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Alberto Scatto Ireland to the end of time
Ireland is beautiful
+Spitzkopf Larry I totally agree with you Ireland is beautiful country
Rob Dunne
Aye top'a the mornin to yah fellah
I just noticed you are almost at 500 k subs, i remember watching your Albania video when it just came out. The comments were a gem. Good too see your channel grow so much
EU checks is partially wrong. Only the countries who signed the Schengen treaty are interpassable. The UK (even pre-Brexit) was still passport check back then.
And Paul, please don't say you've seen a country by passing only the easy borders, that's like saying: I've seen America, I was in Florida and Colorado!
If you want border proximity, Belgium is the place to go. You can visit 5 countries in one day and if you have a couple of hours left, you can still go to the UK before midnight.
@Geography Now I love Tim Marshall's work! This has to be my favourite book of his. I highly recommend you get his sequel book "the power of flags" as it is a brilliant take on the symbolism held behind flags from different countries around the world. (might even help with Flag Friday).
Barby, I think you would absolutely love to visit Moldova. There are bearly any tourists even in the summer, we have a few nice mainly Physical landmarks, and an Autonomus region as well as a a self-proclaimed republic that no one recognizes. I hope you make to Moldova one day.
"Elderly Europeans with camcorders and walking sticks"
Those are the truest words I've ever heard.
Hey this channel is really cool and I'm glad I found this video! I've only been to one other country besides the US (Canada) but in 2018 I am going to Spain, Andorra, Germany, and New Zealand.
You should look up Lyon(France) because it's a big and modern city, near switzerland (Geneva) and Italy (Torino) it's also near to the Alpes (Mountains) The White Mount, and Saint-Etienne, which is an important city near lyon and a Design City recognize by UNESCO
Just started watching and MUST recommend Nova Scotia. Southshore is poopcare level 3, BUT northern shore and Cape Breton Island are poopcare 2, possibly 1. Check out Melmerby Beach, easily a few km(miles) to yourself except for a few weeks in July-August.
+Geography Now despite our cold weather you are always warmly welcome to Finland!
I had an experience of “Asian Invasion” once, I was trying to watch and enjoy the volcano show at the Mirage in Vegas, but right before the show started; a massive flock of Asians just came and crowded all around me trying to get selfies and pictures. One even used my head as a selfie stick holder..
Prague would propably lend somewhere on 4 or 5 (especially in the summer) but whatever, I love Prague, it's so beautiful.
Man i discovered this channel like 4 days ago, you are hilarious and i really like the style of your video, can't w8 to see my country.
I’m the opposite. I like/ love hotels and hate staying with people. Couch surfing? My idea of hell. We’re all different thank goodness 😅
I found your channel yesterday and I'm already in love
I went to Gallipoli and Santorini when it was at about #3 on the POOPCARE scale, and it was awesome!
Go to Vorarlberg (Western Austria), there you can go to 3 different countries in under a hour and to 1 in under 2 hours!
Always a pleasure watching your videos! :)
I'm a new subscriber here and I love your episodes! I am from that ferry ride away from Singapore place in Indonesia! Could've took you around!
One day, you should visit Romania 😉🙃🙂
BrickBam films
For that come to Georgia no problem, Tbilisi the town were about 90%
stop their car on pavements and I spit on their cars when it's empty :D
The happy Romanian eh not right now, maybe when the protests die down
Noapte buna!
Ar trebui să vizitați România!
Romania is not a Balkan country. Only a very small part of it is.
Love this vídeo, more like this please
Barby you should visit the Faroe Islands, but make sure that you come during the summer, because that's when the weather isn't terrible.
Sooo curious about Indo, sounds like basically you were just hangin in North Sumatra, wish you had longer and I could've brought you to my province (Maluku)
looking forward to your travel log!
"Asian Invasion" I know exactly what you're talking about Barby. Living in the Pacific Northwest, there's always some group
Nice suggestion, I'm just gonna get the book from the library.
I admire that, man! I want to get started someday soon!
My dam tiny seaside village in the outskirts of Dublin used to be so quiet and peaceful, do some fishing on the pier or go sailing at the beaches or horse ride on the beaches, now every sunny day (not a lot in Ireland) is full on Asian Invasion literally the second sunny day of 2017 (Feb 4th) i must have passed 100-200 tourists (Asians) on some hikers trail at the cliffs and then in the Town they were in their masses with tour guides and everything. each sunny day the pop at least grows by 5 times the normal amount of people that live there and the surrounding area. The Town is called Howth if any of you wanna see what all the fuss is about
Love this video!
love your channel!
I love your channel so much!
If you ever want to visit Belize, stay away from the bigger cayes (islands). they are big tourist traps. And when you go, let me know and I will set you up with a couple of nice places to stay in different parts of the country.
you should visit Chile, its wonderful. Santiago, Viña, Valparaiso, Valdivia, Patagonia, or Valle del Elqui (where gabriela mistral was born)
More respect to you. You make very good informational geography videos that it seems like an easy transition to be a travel Vlogger. I know your videos will be more detailed than just "travel Vlogging."
Scott Keyes Flights is incredible for finding flights. Bunch of ones for 300-500 around the globe.
I read Prisoners of Geography a couple of weeks back. great book. must read for those who enjoy geopolitics!
I read this book before knowing about this channel, excellent choice.
Here's my advice for free accomodation. I like using workaway when travelling, work for a few hours and get free accomodation and you can make lots of friends this way.
nice vids i think they are interesting thank you all
These are good tips! The only one I don't like so much is the border proximity one. I mean, sure, you are technically visiting several countries, but just being in a country doesn't automatically mean you get to really know the country. I understand why you do it, but I personally like to visit countries and kind of really see what is worth seeing, not just what is nearby.
@Geography Now: in your intro there's the castle of Neuschwanstein. It's a nice place to learn japanese ;)
But close to us, there are so many other beautiful places. Our king Ludwig II. was even more often in Linderhof.
If you want, you can stay one year in Bavaria and always you'll see new beautiful places :)
I'm also reading Prisoners of Geography! It's so good!
Huge fan here from Singapore! 🇸🇬
From this place I want to greet Pratul Jain, which inspired me to also travel, like you Barby
I agree about the book "Prisoners of Geography." It's totally informative. Worth the read. Or listening to.
Have a good trip
I watched the top 10 travel destinations video first (on a cell phone) and spent so long trying to search for the PoopCare Video before watching this one. But awesome video with some really great points. I just downloaded Prisoners of Geography.
What is your opinion on crowds for special events? It's Carnival season and I was reading about some events in Europe that sound really interesting, but super crowded.
I never experience level 1 where i got the place all to myself.But,I experience level 2 sometimes when im roadtripping to remote places in indonesia like the sukabumi waterfalls,banyuwangi osing village,etc
The only thing that my country would rank high on your list is that there are a lot of monuments to see in a very tiny country and very loooong history for one to discover. And perhaps for the Maltese being quite friendly and hospitable (although, that might be questionable as well).
Absolutely love Prisoners of Geography!
Singapore omg looking forward to when you release Geography Now for it in 2024!
I really want to go to Tuvalu! Not to hard seeing as I live on the east coast of Australia!
When he said Asian invasion I lost it.
my only problem is money plain and simple, also currently watching all of your videos in order since the trailer and I'm learning so much thank you.
Man i love this channel!
you should come to Georgia,we have mountains and islands and jungles all the good stuff, and you have about a six hour drive to Miami and take a ferry to the Bahamas, my family can host you
Looking to travel soon, looking at Inter railing in Europe at the moment. I'd prefer warm weather.... as I'm from England.... but Scandinavia is somewhere I've always wanted to go... so... plus Munich. Also as someone who is from London... and lived near Westminster, TOURISTS everywhere.
Ya, my dad is very aware of the "Asian invasion". He works at the ever so popular gas station of Sam's Club. In especially the non -winter months he gets bus loads of tourists. Heck one time I was going for a stroll around Temple Square in Salt Lake City and encountered one of these buses full of Chinese tourists.
Im going to ireland with free accomodation and i'll be fed, im using WWOOFing. Just have to do a bit of agriculutural work, but the types of work vary mostly agriculutural i think as it is a green organization.
Love it. Papa bless. Aloha.
Definitely let me know if ever you're looking to do a Geography Go episode a little closer to home and you end up in New England!
Good video, btw if ýou need information for the Sweden episode, im very glad to help you out!
This video just reinforces that I need to get a passport but i want to travel my country (Canada) some more since its so huge and we have everything from deserts to rain forests so
Hey there baul B and crew. First thing first. I love your show! You guys are doing a great job!
I am from Amsterdam and just like you i really enjoy traveling for fun or work and lerning new things from other cultures. during my travels i always try to be and also act like a traveler and not a stupid stereotype tourist.(Yes, there is a differends!) that is the reason why i use aps like couchsurfing and interpals were you can have chatrooms with people from all around the world.
If you guys gonna plan a trip to The netherlands or belgium, let me know. Maybe i can help you guys with some information. I study Cultural heritage and history, so maybe i can help make the show evan better (is that possible?! omg)
kind regards,
Ps. I know a lot a level 1 and 2 places in Amsterdam.
Visit Orkney - not the easiest part of Europe to get to, but definitely worth it. Half Scottish, half Scandinavian, home to some of the oldest man made structures in the world.
Come to Togo 🇹🇬 you could visit Ghana 🇬🇭 and Benin 🇧🇯 in the same day I did it before
Waiting to see you in Lebanon sometime soon.
if you come to europe come to luxembourg, you are near belgium, germany and france
Come to Cracow Poland, its features all 7 categories. its very close to Czech republic, Slovakia and Hungary. its about one of oldest cities in central europe and one of the bigest. also is only big city in Poland that haven't been ruined by Nazis in WWII. also you can see there one of Leonardo Da
Vinci painting and over all Poland is much cheaper to visit than Western european countries
Love the vids barby
Visit luxemburg (them you can also visit belgium, germany and france)
When you mentioned Prisoners of Geography I couldn't help but think of Shirvan of Caspian Report. Do you watch Caspian Report and what do you think of it?
I've had my fair share of traveling. my next destinations, hopefully soon, are New Zealand and Iceland.
You should come to Melbourne(pronounced melben),Australia its a really cool place
Really a great, informative video! Just wondering, what was the city you live in? Terveisiä from Finland :)
Dude I agree with you on make friends. That's one of the great things in the internet. Make friends that live in different countries. I have a friend from London England UK. He invited me last October at around Halloween time to go to MCM Comic Con and cosplay. I had an amazing time their. Yet I'm hoping someday that I'll bring my friend to where I live at.
Once I went to a very remote, not so well known museum in The Netherlands with my school and I saw more Chinese people than Dutchies.. I find that pretty fascinating.
Ghana, Togo and Ghana is are easy to get visas for. Nigeria is something else. I have heard you can get it in Cotonou but good luck. Best to try to get it before you go to Africa.
I'm saving this video for the future
You should really come to Malta we have one of the oldest structures made by man.Plus Malta to Sicaly is only 20 minutes by plane and a hour by ferry.we have tasty food like ftira biż-żejt and my favourite pastizzi.We have over 3 to 4 million tourist come every year.You can go scuba diving.Plus the best part that we speak English!and Maltese
Barby, I say you try Romania! Romanians are all over the place so it's unlikely you don't know someone who's from there! Secondly, Transilvanya has some of the most beautiful landscapes, and as long as you're not visiting for Halloween, there aren't many turists! You can hike some mountains, take a 5 hour train to Constanta and you're at the sea side! Not sure if you need a visa (you might or might not, depending where you're from!), but if you do, they're quite easy to get! And lastly, THE FOOD!!!
Can you Do a video of Guinea Bissau I'm doing a school project that would help me out so much Love your channel🍭
