our planet is full of places in the
deepest corners of the most forgotten
regions of this world that will fill
your spirit with all and leave you in
wonder well i thought that was a pretty
badass opening line but really with the
world slowly opening back up traveling
has become more and more accessible over
the past few years thanks to the
internet and so is finding interesting
destinations to experience my name is
eric conover i'm a filmmaker and world
traveler living here in new york city
and in this video i'm going to show you
the top most incredible travel
destinations you have to see to believe
now i'm not pulling this footage off the
internet like some travel guides i've
been to and experienced every single
destination first hand usually i find
new places to travel through videos like
this one so comment down below the most
unique place you've ever been to on
earth and without any ado these are the
most incredible travel destinations you
have to see to believe
[Music]
number one is norway
norway is hands down the most beautiful
destination i have ever experienced
norway is a scandinavian country
encompassing vast mountains
glaciers and deep coastal fjords
i recommend going in early summer the
days are long and warm while the nights
are cool and short if you go far enough
north the sun doesn't set at all and you
can experience the phenomenon known as
the midnight sun 12 30 in the morning
it's june the 11th so it's almost the
first day of summer which is the longest
day of the year i haven't been sleeping
the past two days just because it
doesn't get dark it's always light out i
mean look at this the sun just dips down
low enough below the horizon where it's
like a sunset for two hours straight and
then it pops right back up at about two
maybe 145 real strange but kind of cool
in norway you can do everything from
climate glacier to windsurfing on the
coast along with white water kayaking
back breaking downhill cycling and of
course road trip for days
[Music]
number two is bali
now i know you're all thinking everyone
and their dog on instagram has been to
bali has taken photos has made videos
there but there's good reason for that
bali is truly a place to find yourself
there is an energy there unlike anywhere
else i've ever been in the world
bali is an indonesian island known for
its forested volcanic mountains iconic
rice paddies beaches and coral reefs one
of the coolest things is while in bali
you can stay in a luxury villa for just
about 20 us dollars per night my number
one thing to do in bali is buy or rent a
motorbike and explore the unknown areas
and the surrounding islands
[Music]
sometimes you gotta go on your own
adventures i'm in full travel mode i
didn't even wear shoes
oh
my gosh
would you look
at this
head up north to ubud
and play with the monkeys
welcome to the monkey forest in ubud
what's he doing
oh no that's the camera you can't follow
me i have to leave oh no you can't grab
that i'm sorry or wake up at sunrise and
bathe under a waterfall
book it one way ticket the bali and just
let the journey happen
number three is the maldives
if you want to get lost at sea in the
best way possible you need to head to
the maldives the maldives is a tropical
nation in the indian ocean comprised of
26 ring-shaped atolls which are made up
of more than 1 000 coral islands it's
known for its beaches blue lagoons and
extensive reefs now when you go to the
maldives you have two options for places
to stay the first you pay a ton of money
and you stay in a very nice
all-inclusive resort so we're taking a
boat now to the four seasons resort
we're grabbing some lunch we might be
able to explore the resort a little bit
just so we could film i guess the other
side of staying in the maldives because
it is very very different
golf carts all around they were saying
it is ten thousand dollars per night for
the top room here i think doing what
we're doing on the boat is the best way
to see them all the second you travel
with some friends hire a surf boat and
just island hop
there is nothing in the whole world like
living on a boat in the middle of the
indian ocean early september is a good
time to visit the weather was beautiful
and the surf was very very good
[Music]
and if you're not into surfing you can
always island hop and hang out with some
locals
go free diving on one of the many reefs
or even find your own deserted island
all to yourself
[Music]
[Applause]
number four is japan japan is an island
nation in the pacific ocean with dense
cities mountainous national parks and
thousands of shrines and temples while
traveling in japan i opted to stay in
traditional japanese inns to fully
immerse myself in the japanese culture
this japanese inn has an open-air hot
spring bath
welcome to my humble abode
the best way to get around is by bullet
train which is never late
or to hop on a quick flight i have a few
free hours to go off and just do
whatever so i can't come to japan and
not go to a market the food has to be
hands down the most just interesting
part coming to japan there is some food
that you would never even imagine eating
if you are from the states while tokyo
is an amazing city i wanted to see the
countryside i went up north to matashima
and stayed at a local fisherman's inn i
woke up the next day before sunrise and
hiked to the top of a hill to see the
day begin
[Music]
then i went all the way south to zamami
island which is a relatively unknown
spot to westerners and it is home to
world-class diving and some of the most
remote untouched beaches on planet earth
number five is bonaire bonaire is a
charming dutch island located 50 miles
north of venezuela and is a part of the
abc island chain next to aruba and
curacao far far below the hurricane bell
bonaire has perfect weather almost year
round the number one thing to do on
bonaire is to scuba dive you can scuba
both in the day or for the daring scuba
diving at night this is a bucket list
thing right here i've been wanting
you've never been diving before never
ever we're actually joined by a lot of
people this place is super popular just
because by the pillars that's where the
fish hang out which is one of the most
terrifying exhilarating experiences i've
ever had bonaire is home to some of the
clearest blue waters on planet earth and
has some of the most lively reefs that i
have ever seen you can free dive in the
freshwater limestone cave network that
runs below the island take a drive to
the pink salt pans in the south
hop on a water taxi to climb on air a
tiny uninhabited island right off the
coast to do some snorkeling home to some
of the bluest waters on earth bonaire is
truly paradise
number six is new york city
new york is the capital of the world and
has been my home for the past five years
any time of the year is honestly the
best time to visit new york
but if i had to choose i would pick
early summer or late fall although
there's no place like new york in the
winter with a little snow on the ground
new york has something for everyone it's
that place where you come to make your
dreams come true you can go enjoy the
sights like the empire state building
the top of one world trade head down to
soho for some amazing food and shopping
or take in central park
new york is my favorite city in the
whole world and i think everyone should
at least visit or live in new york at
least once in their life
number seven is hawaii
hawaii is an isolated volcanic island
chain in the central pacific ocean its
islands are renowned for the rugged
landscapes of cliffs waterfalls and is
truly one of the most incredible places
i have ever traveled to
hands down the most incredible
experience i've had in hawaii was
driving up to the summit of haleakala on
maui and watching the sunset
10 000 feet above maui watching the sun
go down the sky is lit up i am so amped
on life right now and do you hear that
it is absolutely quiet up here there's
not a breath of wind
there's not a single person
i am so at peace right now driving the
iconic road to hana is a must make sure
to leave it very early to avoid all the
tourists and stop for some banana bread
along the way on the island of lanai go
horseback riding and off-roading on the
backside of the island through the lush
tropical rainforests
finally on the island of oahu hike to
the top of diamond head at sunrise make
friends with the locals and truly
experience ancient hawaiian traditions
such as pounding poi
hawaii is that place that sticks out my
mind when someone asks me where is the
coolest place you've ever been
