    my first travelling adventure was to Malaysia I loved everything about it. The people are incredibly proud of their country and so they should be. I can't wait to take my family

      iAwareNow. Not surprising if it comes from one nasty Indonesian like you who are always provoking Malaysia like as though you know everything about us. Who the hell do you think you are making wild accusations. Much jealous ya cos your country is not listed. We have no hatred whatsoever against you guys we don't deserve such rude comment from you. Malaysia is a Commonwealth country n we always have a sentimental attachment with Great Britain, go to London, it's like a second home to us. Shame on you!!!

    Hi Aly, thank you so much for highlighting that the UK is not just London! I'm Portuguese living in the UK for almost 5 years and can definitely say that there's SO many amazing places to see - some of the places I've been and strongly recommend: Edinburgh, Pembrokeshire (Wales), Strafford-upon-Avon, Cornwall (

    I am malaysian,first country that i visited was chiangmai,thailand...amazing place and i stay at mae sai and tachileak, Myanmar...then hong kong and bali indonesia..in term of transport i recommend hong kong..very easy to go around..u can even visit macau with just 1 hour from hk island..bali is beauty..mystery and relaxing...love it..by the way...for my opinion..u should visit borneo sabah and sarawak...they have beautiful island, mountain and forest..

  • @WhoaThereMama
    @WhoaThereMama 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I actually think Korea would be a great place to go as a first-time traveler. There's a culture shock, but it's super safe with crazy amazing infrastructure, tons of wifi, and tons of English signs. If you feel nervous, there are tons of cute cafes where you can lie low for a bit and feel at home

    Happened to stumble across your channel and have enjoyed t the last few weeks. I have never traveled alone but I have been to Hong Kong and Japan for World Scouting events and I absolutely loved the experience. One thing I am struggling with now is where to go, because really I just want to go everywhere. Love oyur videos!

  • @rampawithnarda
    @rampawithnarda 7 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I agree with the chaos in Manila Looool. I suggest going to Makati City it's so much better and safer. Just an hour near Manila. Like thirty minutes from the airport. Once outside the city it will be good like Palawan, Boracay and many more. In the Philippines you can even ask the vendors or kids for directions. Everyone speaks English.

      filipinos are the most well english speakers in asia. i believe that's their 2nd language. i never had any difficukties communicating with them, even with their so called jeepney drivers! amazing indeed! -from a greek btw

  • @Lillith333
    @Lillith333 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would also put Ireland down as a great first time travel destination. A vast array of sites to see. It has good public transport but it is kind of expensive but can be done on a budget. I would highly recommend it.

  • @jennaalcalaa
    @jennaalcalaa 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My first time out of the country I'm from (USA) was to Belize. It is an amazingly easy place to navigate as an English speaker because English is actually the official language. Everyone speaks both English and Spanish! Aside from that, the Belizean dollar is equivalent to exactly $.50 USD. There's so much to see and the people are so friendly and laid back.

  • @amye8363
    @amye8363 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I just got back from a trip in Europe and went to Turkey, Greece, Italy, Germany, France, England and Spain. Out of all of the places we went to I was expecting Istanbul, Turkey to have a huge language barrier, but honestly, it ended up being Paris, France. The French don't like speaking English, and while a lot did (hostel staff, Disneyland...) I found people in positions that I expected to have a okay level of English to barely speak it, such as train staff/information desk staff!
    Anyway, my first trip apart from Aussie (many times as a kid as I'm from NZ) was to California, USA - very easy for a first time traveler!

    • @luvinmysailor
      @luvinmysailor 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Amy Earle we hated France because they were so rude. I tried to speak French and they were jerks because my French wasn't good enough. So we tried English and they were still mean. This went on our entire vacation. I was thinking how is Paris a tourist city and nobody​ speaks English?🙄

    • @julielgn9936
      @julielgn9936 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      DearJRenae I'm french and indeed, most of us don't speak english at all I mean we are so bad at it it's crazy, even though of course some can speak it very well. However I'm surprised about the rude thing. Did you go to Paris ?Some Parisians tend to be a bit rude indeed so if you're looking for a more friendly town you should try Bordeaux :)

    • @VelmaTheID
      @VelmaTheID 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      I found Parisians (in the tourists/restaurant industry) unwilling to speak French with me. They seem to dislike hearing non-natives speak what they call “textbook French.” They would hear my American accent and just speak English...bummer...

    I live in Canada- and can't afford to travel in Canada :( it is soooo expensive to get anywhere! I also live in a remote northern town, but still. The tourists driving through my town to go to Alaska are all rich Americans and Europeans. I love my country- but I wish it was more affordable.

  • @Sonchik007
    @Sonchik007 7 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Singapore would be also nice for beginners to get a slight understanding what Asia is like. Visiting China Town, Little India, Arabic area etc. Getting around Singapore is super easy.
    My first travel destination was Israel. Massive culture shock partly because we were staying at the strict orthodox Jews family and you had to follow all the Kosher rules (not mixing milk and meat in your meals for example), not to use electricity on Saturdays, cover up your body when it's insanely hot etc. But it's really easy to get around the country, lots of things to see and most of the people speak English. As an option for the first time travellers.

    • @nadiabaz6046
      @nadiabaz6046 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @luvinmysailor
      @luvinmysailor 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sonchik007 I don't know any recipes that mux milk with meat lol

    • @Sonchik007
      @Sonchik007 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      So, let me try to explain. It cannot be combined in one meal. So... if you are eating burger where milk was used for the bread recipe, plus there is meat. Or, you have spaghetti bolognieze and after it you have pancakes, which have milk in it. Or you had a meal with meat and then decided to drink milk tea. So all of it are perfect examples. But it is only happens if you are in orthodox part. In Tel Aviv, for example, you don't need to worry about it. But Macdonalds is kosher there, so the taste will be completely different.

    • @giovannichao4154
      @giovannichao4154 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Sonchik007 nah singapore would be the last place to go to. everything there is waaaaaaay too expensive. if ur looking for the SEA feel then malaysia would be better. if your looking for urban metropolis might as well go to seoul or tokyo

    • @Sonchik007
      @Sonchik007 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      But we are comparing the countries not by the prices range, but how easy is to get around. Australia is way more expensive for example, but it was an example in the video.

    My first major travelling trip was to Mongolia. I feel as if you plan well before hand and have a good idea of where you want to go, you will be fine wherever you go. In Mongolia they spoke hardly any English at all, but I managed with just pointing to a phrase book and actions.

    US person here. I def recommend the US for travelers - Greyhond bus lines is nationwide and they also have an annual discount membership available. we have all different kinds of landscapes and cultures all in one country. we speak English and Spanish here pretty equally, so if you want to learn Spanish there is plenty of that.

  • @rabihzein
    @rabihzein 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I guess that is from your own personal experience. I would add UAE, Jordan & Lebanon. English is easily spoken everywhere, tourism is their major contribution to their economy, good infrastructure, different landscapes across the areas, and very "easy to accommodate" kinda culture. tho it could be a bit expensive.

    • @alvinreyes2989
      @alvinreyes2989 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I stayed in UAE on holiday for a little over a month and yes, the country is amazing! but not really recommended for budget backpackers since prices are quite expensive, like food and accommodations.

    My first solo travel was to do Summer Camp in USA. I did this because of the element of solo travel but also being guaranteed a job and environment were u can't not make friends! Also, you work before you travel so it's such a good set up to ease in to independent travelling and has given me so much confidence :-)
    If u have the skills do a summer camp.. it's more than just working with kids too !! Now I have a south east Asia trip booked with my best friend I met out there

As for me, on my first solo travel, I want to explore my country first.. in all its length, width and depth!! It's so diverse, so culturally rich, and full of surprises.. so, before going out, I will take my time knowing India :)
    I've been following you from the past month, you are one high spirited traveller!

    Great video as usual. If you don't have one could you make a video of how to plan a trip for those that don't have a clue please. From A to Z as in all the steps like how to get a passport, how to get a visa, what kind of visa to get. What flights and how to book it, what kinds f things you can not take with you to other countries. What things you shouldn't bother taking with you. What clothing to pack. You see where I'm going with this lol kind of travel for dummies lol.

    First place I visited (I was born in the U.S. and currently live in boston) was France when I was 3 months old, and later England when I was 1 :) An easy first-time travel destination I'd recommend is actually my own city of Boston! It's smaller and much less hectic/stressful than NYC, it's very historic, and frankly very European! I love showing my French friends around!

      Jeanne a I'm thinking about going to Morocco on a surf trip, around Thagzout area, but I would go alone and I have heard SOO many bad things from women who went there travelling solo about harassment and so many men approaching you and getting angrz when ignoring them. Did you go there solo or with somebody else? And what are your experiences with the Morrocan men? And do you have any advise for women going there solo?

    • @Wiebke290899

      Imane Tabza Thanks for your advice! Luckily I still have some time to decide. (one and a half year 'til I finish school). I'll probably go there anyway 'cause it's one of the places that seem really interesting because of culture and of course the great waves:) Might not go there as my first trip though

    My first place I travelled to was Norway. Fantastic country with a beautiful landscape and nice and clean cities. Almost everybody could understand and speak english, so no language problems here. And the people were really helpful too. Public transport is quite good with busses, but a bit more expensive. So is the beer. They have a high tax on alcohol. But all in all I really loved it there and it got me into wanting to travel a lot more. :)

    Hey Aly! I started watching your videos since your Mauritius vlog series. I'm a native English speaker but I can also speak German and French fluently. Dad is from Cape Town and mom is from Mauritius. I'm currently in Reunion Island for my studies (to improve my French as well) and I'm planning to head to Germany for my Erasmus over summer :) It's gonna be my first time in Europe haha
    I wanted to ask you a quick question: Do you know if I can apply for a Working Holiday VISA even if i'm not from the EU? - I tried several websites but none seem to be giving a clear explanation about non-EU people willing to get a working holiday visa for countries like AUS or NZ.
    Thank you xxx :)

      NapsterFS okay so I'm a French girl that is going to reunion island and Mauritius for the summer! And I know that locals, or people that actually lived there, have good tips for travellers! so do you have any place or things to do that you recommend??

    • @NapsterFS
      @NapsterFS 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Haha nice to hear! I have been living on Reunion Island for 2.5 years now - I study Economics at the university here. I usually make round trips after each semester to Mauritius to visit family & friends. Speaking about places of interest, I do have a looooong list :P I have absolutely no clue if TH-cam will allow me to post the links but if we can get in touch somehow through which I could send you everything that would be great :) - For how long are you staying in the surroundings? :P

    • @NapsterFS
      @NapsterFS 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Sonchik007 Yeah it's kinda annoying when it comes to travelling around while not being a non-EU citizen and/or part of any sorts of agreements between the countries. I will figure it out though - thanks for your response! Have a great day ahead! :)

    I'd add Seoul to a first time trip to Asia. It's still pretty cheap and has a great nightlife/expat scene so you can make friends easily. Plus its really modernised so if you're looking for more of a city vibe it's the perfect place to stay for a week or two. Plus the city NEVER sleeps!! 😀

    First time traveller should really give Singapore a try. Our main language is English and we are known for our diverse cuisine and culture. There are lots of things to explore here in Singapore and it is very easy to go around by public transports. Besides, it is one of the top safest countries in the world. :)

      Singapore is a Mega City within a very small country, its like going to Tokyo but with less personality and thats it, sure there are a few touristy attractions like Universal Studios and Gardens by the Bay, but aside from that.. Marina Bay Sands? Clarke Quay? Sentosa? meh. honestly most people come there to work since Singapore employees earn the most compared to other countries in South East Asia. shopping is expensive! food, aside from not being that good is also expensive! so why would tourists go there? specially global backpackers on a budget. if I was looking to spend more in Asia Id rather go to Seoul or Tokyo, even HK!

    Really great list! I think other places that are the big cities of glitz and glam - Dubai (yes I know there is a whole other side to the UOI outside of Dubai), Singapore and Hong Kong but yeah not too much culture shock compared to many places. Each successful rich global city with different vibes (HK is EASILY my fave of the three though). TAIWAN is also good though not a lot of English out in the countryside and less English compared to many of these places. Very warm people though and very developed!

    In the Nordic countries, basically everyone speaks English fluently, and a lot of the times they don't even have an accent (especially Sweden). And there's no culture shock (I think) and the transportation system is great! The capitals are not that big but still have a lot of museums and stuff like that. If you want more "adventures", there's a lot of beautiful nature, mountains, Nordic lights and even volcanos (in Iceland)
    It's a bit expensive, especially in Norway, but it's not too bad.

    As an American, I would say the exact same thing about New York City and California that you said about London. So many foreigners have only ever been to those two places and they are missing out on so many cool cities. D.C., Miami, Houston, Savannah, Boston, the entire state of Vermont, national parks in Wyoming, Utah, Montana, South Dakota etc. There is so many better things to see in the United States than the gray buildings of New York City... trust me.
