Hey you guys! if you're new to the channel i'm Wayne this is April hey-yo
We do a video every Thursday. today along with some of our travel vlogging friends we are sharing with
you some of the top destinations for travel in 2021 if things go back to normal that is
why do we love mexico so much that's way too much to try and fit into 90 seconds but we
do love a challenge we're Howard and Katelyn new state the Newstate Nomads and we've been
traveling full-time around the world with you since 2018. earlier this year during covid 19
we quarantined for three months on an island in Mexico but we can't wait to go back to continue
exploring this wonderful country again soon so why should you consider mexico let's start the clock
maybe we should break it down into categories food people culture activity gotta start with the food
there's an incredible regional diversity in the cuisines of Mexico reflected in the melting pot
of indigenous and imported cultures mole meats seafood spices vegetables and of course tacos are
filled with every imaginable combination of the above each region plays to their strengths and the
dishes are incredibly diverse people often think of tex-mex but the food of Mexico is so much more
and for a lot less money than you might imagine next up the people of Mexico are incredibly warm
welcoming and genuinely excited to share their country with visitors in our five months of
travel in Mexico this year we never ever felt unsafe and to the contrary locals would go out
of their way to help us and we're often patient with our mediocre Spanish speaking of Spanish
google translate will become your best friend particularly outside the major cities and coastal
areas now let's add the layer of culture which is everywhere in Mexico everyone knows about
the tallest pyramid in egypt but did you know that number two and three in the world are located near
Mexico City and Cancun sometimes the layering is literal like a Spanish church on top of a pyramid
take time to explore the smaller cities and you'll be surprised at what you find from past millennia
looking for world-class paragliding or millions of monarch butterflies how about a nighttime tour
of ancient pyramids to learn how people live thousands of years ago if you like the colored
teal mexico delivers with giant waterfalls unbelievable hot spring pools built into the
cliffs and warm rivers perfect for soaking okay we're almost out of time but to learn about Mexico
or any of our other travels visit our YouTube channel or the Newstate Nomads website we hope
you'll continue on the journey with us aloha we're Amy and Eric from The Near & Away
we were basically traveling full-time around the world until the pandemic sadly shut everything
down so we're coming to you from our new home in Honolulu Hawaii which is not bad i mean we
made lemonade it's pretty awesome here when Wayne and April reached out and asked where
was you know one country that we would love to revisit we immediately both thought of
Argentina starting with Buenos Aires where it feels very European like and the food oh my
gosh just off the charts and then we worked our way all the way down to Patagonia and then on
the way back out we went to Mendoza which was just heaven on earth i think we really loved it there
yeah there are so many things that if you're outdoors type person you know Iguazu falls is
this like the world's largest waterfall a large part of Patagonia is actually inside
of Argentina so if you're into hiking or mountains or you know any of that stuff glaciers they pretty much have it all
but also the people were so helpful so kind sweet sweet amazing people that we met so you know i
think that we would rush back if we could all right everybody stay safe happy new year mahalo
Hey you guys! thank you Wayne and April for allowing me to be in another video of yours
my name is Anthony Perez with A. Perez Voyages and what can i say 2020 has been nothing short of an
interesting year all of us travelers have been looking forward to one thing and that's travel
if there's any place i would go back to if not recommend to you to travel to once travel opens
back up at place is New Zealand New Zealand is top of my list because it offers so much
of what one would need to start fresh and travel once again New Zealand is absolutely beautiful
it's got gorgeous beaches gorgeous mountains landscape everything the air is clean the people
are friendly and my personal favorite very strong and rich in polynesian culture personally i would
go back to New Zealand because New Zealand is just the perfect place for that reset
to get back to travel again keep your head up voyagers because that time to travel
will come hi Wayne and April it's Ryan here from the one shot adventures channel
for the last year or so i've been traveling all over the amazing countries of Asia and
southeast Asia but as we all know we are now living in very strange times with
borders closed and no real timeline for when they'll open again but when things do open up i
can't think of many better destinations to get to than the Philippines a country made up of over 7
000 islands with pristine sands and crystal clear water the Philippines really is paradise
you have the island of Palawan with its boat trips to hidden lagoons and
waterfalls you have the island of Bohol with its surreal landscapes and real-life baby yodas
you have the surfing mecca of Siargao which is fast becoming the new Bali
and then there's Boracay with its luxury hotels and restaurants and incredible clear water
but for me to see the real Philippines you need to get off the beaten path to islands
like Tablas and Romblon which is a real adventure but one thing you can count on wherever you go
is the insane hospitality of the Filipino people they'll welcome you wherever you go
and it's the country's greatest attraction so that's why i think you should pick the
Philippines as your next destination thank you for watching and thank you for living life.
Hey you guys it's Matt from the Xennial Traveller channel and i love going on adventures in unusual
places so my recommendation for when you can next travel again safely is Bosnia and Herzegovina
if you've heard of Bosnia and Herzegovina chances are it's because of the war in the 90s
i'll be honest and say that when you first arrive in Bosnia chances are a lot of what you
see is actually quite painful quite shocking and exploring the country is a real eye-opener beyond
the war and sadness Bosnia is a country rich in history and culture and unlike some of its more
popular neighbors like Croatia for example it's still very little visited by tourists and that
also means that it's incredibly affordable to travel in Bosnia and there's also just
lots of really good really filling tasty food for very cheap everywhere
what really surprised me though is just all of that beautiful natural landscapes outdoor spaces
ranging from mountains to primeval rainforests to waterfalls and rivers this is nature
at its finest with really pristine clear air and water so clean you could drink from the rivers
so whenever you have the ability to travel again i do urge you to consider unique destinations
like Bosnia and Herzegovina because i promise you that the experience will be unforgettable
i'm Matt from the Xennial Traveller channel and i wish you health and happiness and also have
yourselves some unusual adventures hi i'm Marion and i'm Giorgio and we are Dreamy Travel Story
thank you so much Wayne and April for inviting us to your channel we love exploring this beautiful
world and when it's possible to travel again we are heading back to our favorite country guatemala
which is also the country where Giorgio was born
there are so many reasons why we love Guatemala Guatemala offers gorgeous natural scenery
here you find 37 volcanoes a few of them are still active one of our top places in
Guatemala is Lake Atitlan which was formed 84 000 years ago during an enormous volcanic eruption
this lake is the deepest lake in central america and it's renowned
as one of the most beautiful lakes in the world we couldn't agree more
its crystal blue water is surrounded by jungle clad mountains colorful Mayan villages
hiking trails and of course majestic volcanoes
Guatemala is such a colorful country with a rich and interesting culture and history
in some villages the local Mayan people are still wearing traditional clothing and you have the
chance to attend traditional ceremonies Antigua is one of the most visited places in Guatemala the
city has been an unesco world heritage site since 1979 and it's famous for its colorful colonial
buildings on the pacific coast of Guatemala you find stunning volcano black sun beaches
and the waves make it a paradise for surfers the sun rises and the sunsets are simply gorgeous
if you get tired of the beach just go exploring the mangrove forests on the caribbean coast
of Guatemala you find white sand beaches palm trees rivers and lush green nature to explore
in the town of Livingston you have the chance to learn more about the Garifuna culture
don't miss visiting the jungle of Patan in northern Guatemala the wildlife is fascinating
and you can explore impressive hidden caves the food in guatemala is both affordable and delicious
don't miss trying their world famous coffee and chocolate when you're here yes there are so many
reasons why we love Guatemala we can't wait to go back and explore and meet more of this
country's warm and friendly people hi i'm James and i'm Laurent and our channel is called James
and Lauren tyeah we're very creative and our top destination for 2021 is Bora Bora we've been to
Bora Bora a couple of times and the fact that we went back says a lot because we don't often
go back to the same place twice and what's even funnier is that we're not even big beach people
we normally prefer traveling to big cities where you can visit museums and monuments Bora Bora is
one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen and it's so laid back it's very relaxing
it has a lot of the activities that Hawaii has like swimming with the sharks and the mana rays
but with only 200 000 tourists a year instead of 10 million i used to think Bora Bora was at the
end of the world but flights from LA or San Francisco to Tahiti take eight hours instead
of five hours for Hawaii so yes it's further than Hawaii but it's a lot more authentic too
i think it's the mix of french and polynesian influence that makes Bora Bora so special
if you stay in one of those over the water bungalow rooms can be pricey but if you
stay at a normal hotel Bora Bora is not as expensive as you might think
and if you have the option to fly mid-week flights are a lot cheaper than on the weekend
so we hope you make Bora Bora part of your 2021 plans
and if you want to learn more about Bora Bora check out our channel where we have
several videos about Bora Bora it really is a little paradise
hey guys Janet here with radiant wanderings my vote would be Italy our whole family loves Italy
we've gone multiple times and there's just so much to enjoy there from the food to the sites to just
the culture so i do have a few recommendations for your travel planning for Italy Rome we didn't like
Rome however we realized in our travels that we really aren't typically fans of the really large
cities so if you are a city person you love going to large cities disregard everything i'm saying
about Rome and go there Cortina Italy it is in the north of Italy it's in the Dolomite mountain range
great skiing and snowboarding in winter hiking and biking through the mountains and summer and the
town is just absolutely picture perfect adorable we also love the Amalfi coast we went in April
and i highly recommend that time frame April May it's not as busy but things are starting to open
up we stayed in Praiano we did not stay in Positano tunnel we did take a boat tour from Praiano to
Capri and we toured Capri for the day that tour book company was La Sibilla and they were great and
then of course Florence who doesn't love Florence Florence is big enough to have so many historic
sites for you to see things to do but it's still small enough you can walk most places and CInque
Terre Cinque Terre it's five villages they have trains between them you can also hike between the
villages Venice is one of our family favorites if you go to Venice we love staying in the Dorsoduro
district it has some of our favorite eateries and gelato shops i would love to hear in the comments
below or you're planning your next trip to whether it's 2021 or further out and if it's Italy uh
message me i want to come with you hey everyone i am super excited to be part of this video Wayne and
April thank you for having me here um for those of you who don't know me my name is Yvonne and i have
the YouTube channel GoYvon and on that channel i make videos about my life in China i have been
living working and traveling in China for 10 years and i share all of that well there are really
three reasons why i think you should come to China the first reason are the cities the cities have a
lot of history to offer there's a lot of culture but many of the cities are also very modern so
that is really a nice balance between all the new the second reason why i think you should come here
is because of the nature china is a huge country lots of parks with great nature there are
mountains deserts there are rainforests China even has its own tropical island and finally the third
reason is the food the country is big like i said and each region has its own traditional uh dishes
so there is always something else that you can try and eat so those are the three main reasons why
i think you should come to China again thank you for having me in this video and i hope everybody
can go out and travel again soon in the new year this video if things go back to normal in 2021 i'm
gonna recommend one particular country you guys should definitely check out and this country i
recommend because it's in central Asia and it's part of the historical silk road but before i name
that particular country quick introduction my name is Joe i have a travel channel that creates the
more informative style of travel content through vlogs and basically travel advice type content
and also do stuff around London and some personal experimental content like 360 video
documentary style and educational content okay my recommendation for 2021 is Uzbekistan i'm a big
fan of the history of the silk road and back in 2016 i actually had an opportunity to travel from
Kazakhstan overland it all the way back to the UK going through the silk road countries including
Uzbekistan it was just the incredible experience actually going to the places that i've been
reading all these years along the silk road and the highlight was definitely Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan is great because it's full of these amazing historical sites like Samarkand and
Registan you literally look everywhere and it's just like culture and history oozing around all
these like old palaces and mausoleums and i think Uzbekistan is definitely going to get a lot more
exposure because it got recommended by a lonely planet as the number one destination of 2020.
Uzbekistan is still one of those off the beaten track type places but it's definitely gaining
popularity and there's been a huge amount of investment into the country so infrastructure
and just connections will be a lot more easier so try and get to Uzbekistan before it gets really
really crowded of tourists. Our top destination for you is Bulgaria i know this is a country that you
wouldn't have thought about traveling to but we loved it let's talk about the world class wine
oh the vineyard that we went to was number 39 in the world these are some of the most amazing
wines you've ever had if you're into wine try some Bulgarian wonderful people too historic cathedrals
oh absolutely dotted across the country it's so old the artwork will blow you away oh and the
art architecture believe me this is a different world i highly suggest visiting Bulgaria yep yep
be sure to get lost on a hike well maybe not lost but get on a hike the outdoor nature is
way worth it the cuisine is definitely an experience some of it is absolutely amazing
and some of it's kind of weird there were only a couple of things that we had a bit of a struggle
with overall we absolutely devoured everything especially the bread and the drink Wayne and the
rakia oh yeah you've got to try rakia when you're there it's like their homemade brandy or whiskey
i'm not sure which one it's like drinking kerosene no it's amazing check out the ancient fortresses
you like the word ancient i do well everything's there is ancient it's old it's historic
oh the Roman sites you don't feel like the average tourist when you go there and your dollar goes
really far oh yeah check out the card above for our Bulgarian series. I want to thank you guys
