What's the most beautiful place on earth? Some people say it's Iceland.
Some people say it's the islands of Indonesia But for an adrenaline junkie like me
The most beautiful place on earth is right here
In Hawaii And in this video I'm going to
show you some of the craziest and most fun things you can do in Hawaii, in the space of one day
It's 630 am and I am about to start the day with something that
Hawaii is probably the most associated with Surfing
Hawaii is widely considered the birthplace of modern day surfing
You can't even look at an aerial shot of Hawaii without noticing all the perfect surfable waves
People from all over the world come to Hawaii to surf these amazing warm water waves
Honestly I moved to Hawaii mainly to learn to surf better
Now a lot of people ask me why I am paying
$900 (rent) for a non-ac room and it's entirely because
i am 200 yards away from this
a lot of my friends ask me if I know how to surf yet
I think this question stems from a misunderstanding
of what surfing really is learning to surf is not like
learning to ride a bike (bicycle) it's more like learning a sport
like learning to play basketball you can practice as much as you want
you're probably not gonna be anywhere as good as people who are pros
and if you've only been practicing for a couple of months
if you go to a spot where people that are really good are doing it
people are not gonna let you surf on that break (spot)
and to explain why that's the case I have to explain to you why
surfing is not just a sport but also an extreme sport
when you see people surfing in videos it's very easy to miss that these
people are surfing in very shallow spots where the rocks or the reef is sometimes
only a couple of feet under the surface so if you don't know what you're
doing at a surf break you're a danger not only to
yourself but everyone else around you you might be wondering why bother
to do something that's potentially so dangerous
it's because once you get the hang of it this is how fun it is
Alright, full disclosure most of the surfing
that you just saw is from yesterday afternoon cuz it was really bumpy and really windy today
so most of the surfing (today) looked a lot like
this
but you know that's the thing about waves
you never know when it's gonna be good that's what makes it special when it's good
now that we've seen the waves lets go and head over to see
another part of nature in Hawaii that's equally famous
the mountains we have these ridge trails
which are these 3 ft (wide) paths almost
and have 3000 feet drops on both sides so it's kinda sketchy
but makes for some amazing views and today i'm gonna try to go
to one of the more famous ridge trails 3 peaks
and the reason I say I'm gonna try to do it and i'm not sure if I'm going to do it
is because i'll only do it if the weather allows it's the rainy season in Hawaii right now
which means all these really cool trails which are kinda dangerous anyways
involves a lot of rock climbing becomes really really dangerous
Just 3 days ago i was trying to do the world famous "Stairway to heaven" hike
and i had to turn around 2 hours into the hike because it started pouring
it just got wayy to sketchy so today I will see how far I can get
several people have died while trying to do this hike
most recently was this young 24 year old guy who i think was friends with some of my friends
it's very important to respect mother nature in hawaii
be it in the waves or up in the mountains
i'm at the first peak of the Three Peaks
those are the 2 peaks behind me
and i think this is the furthest I will go because I told my mom
I am not gonna do super sketchy hikes by myself
that definitely sounds cooler than saying i am scared
it gets pretty sketchy up there and i was already having a lot of trouble
trying to maintain my balance with a 10 lb backpack on me
but the view from here is still pretty ridiculous just you can see all the way to the ocean
over there and then the mountains
this is where Jurassic park was filmed and tropic thunder
one of my favorite movies such a beautiful place
ok it's 4 25 pm and that hike took a full 4 hours and 30 minutes
i'm gonna try to do one last hike
which might be my last hike in hawaii try to catch the sunset before that
okay guys I'm almost at the end of the
Lanikai Pillbox hike 100 m ahead of me is the actual pillbox
which is a world war 2 outpost but it's kinda crowded over there so i don't know
if I'm gonna go there but the main attraction here
are these little Lanikai islands I actually know a lot of friends who
have gone swimming to those islands I think i managed to catch the last
bit of sunlight on the west side
this is the east side of the island so the sun doesn't set on this side
this is going to be my last hike in Hawaii
cuz I am leaving Hawaii after 8 months and
a lot of life if you liked this video
don't forget to hit the like button I'll catch you guys
on the next video from a different state
no! a different country in a different continent
in about a week
ok if you're still around congratulations
i have a special message for you if you've been following this channel for a while
i'm gonna talk about the elephant in the room which is that my subscribers have gone up by lke
2000 % in the last month and a half
Somewhere around late October i made a second channel
and I created this video in my native language, Bangla
that video basically went viral on Facebook i went from 20 people (strangers) following
me to
I think i am gonna hit 50,000 followers by the time I am done
editing this video and then the same video
a week after it went viral on facebook and it kinda
died down over there, went viral on youtube
and the YT algorithm for some reason really started promoting the shit out of it
and that got me
around 13,000 subscribers on the other channel
a lot of people just came over here and subscribed to this channel
and it's just been crazy it's been ridiculous
you guys probably remember me talking about this 3 months ago on Big Island
when I had 250 subscribers I was talking about how thankful I am
that was true and i don't even know how to process this
the first day when it started going viral on facebook
i think I couldn't sleep till 3 am
then I woke up again at 7 am because I was just so freakin excited
and I am still processing this one way for sure I know
this will be benefitting me and I kinda tried it out a little
is that now brands and hotels and service(provider)s like
scuba diving companies are more willing to work with me
I think this will allow me to do a lot more stuff than I used to during my travels
As for how this will affect my video making
it really won't because
I have basically been using all the free time I have
into making and editing videos anyways so that's gonna stay the same
one big thing I have been getting a lot is people suggesting
that I drop this channel and make content in Bangla
i don't think I'm gonna do that. This channel is my baby
i have grown up with this channel for the last 4 years or so
and every friend i have made in the last 10 years
doesn't speak Bangla so I don't
want to leave them out of my life that being said
I will also be making a lot of videos in Bangla so this vlog
and the last vlog I filmed in Bangla and in English at the same time
I don't know how sustainable that is because especially when I am doing my kinda vlog
which is a f*** tonne of stuff in the same day I don't think I will always
have to shoot in 2 languages I might alternate videos in the future
That is it I really hope you guys
are doing okay surviving 2020
it's coming to an end. Vaccine is out i'll catch you guys in the next video
