what's up everybody it's alex and marko
the vagabrothers welcome back to another
episode of how to travel last week we
spoke about why travel this week we're
talking about where to go the world's
big place is 196 countries out there so
we're gonna keep it simple
by breaking it down continent by
continent showing you the pros and the
cons of each region starting with your
pros Europe is the classic destination
it's jam-packed full of history culture
nightlife it's got it all more than any
other continent Europe's got a lot of
different countries in one small area
plus a free 90 day tourist visa will get
you to 26 countries in three months it's
the home of the hostel it's super
connected there's trains planes woo I
mean seriously guys if you haven't been
you gotta go it's a great place to
travel for your first time
cons Europe's almost too popular it's
absolutely flooded with tourists in the
summer so good luck trying to find a
hotel or see the Mona Lisa but if you're
going to Europe if you've decided that
that is your destination Heather in the
spring of the fall when it's less
crowded the weather is still pretty good
Latin America pros there's beaches to
surf jungles to explore mountains to
climb from the Amazon to the Andes Latin
America has tons to see from ancient
cultures like the Inca the Maya the
Aztecs to up-and-coming places like
Brazil Latin America is on the rise plus
a lot of countries speaks Spanish which
makes it a great place to learn a
language while traveling vamos cons
wealth cons pretty mild some parts are
unsafe but what's really going to get at
you are the long bus rides through curvy
bumpy mountain roads in North America
pros the US and Canada are home to some
of the most famous cities in the world
from New York to Hollywood Vancouver and
Miami and plenty places in between
but the Americas are all about open
spaces full of national parks and
there's actually more wilderness here
than in Africa which makes sense when
you look at the map because Canada is
huge
Conn's distances are huge public
transportation is virtually non-existent
and there's less regional variety than
say in Europe so if you do come take a
road trip get outdoors and do not spend
all of your time in the big cities
freaka crows mama Africa the mother
continent is the birthplace of humanity
and quite frankly one of the most
amazing places on this planet Africa is
huge it's bigger than Europe the US and
China combined which means it's full of
vibrant cultures and some of the best
wildlife spotting on the planet and it's
so cool look so cool
Khan's the distances are huge and
infrastructure is poor so unless you
have a bush plane or a Land Rover
getting from A to B is going to be a
challenge it's going to eat up a lot of
time and money Australia sir sunshine
and gorgeous beaches New Zealand
adrenaline sports scenery straight from
the Lord of the Rings and super friendly
locals but we're a little bit biased
because we're half Kiwi cons it's pretty
much far from everywhere and it's
relatively expensive so check out a work
travel visa which allows you to work and
travel for up to one year the Middle
East if you'd only listen to the news
then you'd think that is probably a
reason to avoid but in our travels we've
had some amazing experiences in the Gulf
states Turkey and am on the Middle East
has amazing food bustling bazaars and
that daily sensation of feeling Toto
we're not in Kansas anymore
cons it is a turbulent region right now
so avoid those areas of conflict until
they've chill down and admittedly solo
female travel to Islamic countries and
in general it's more important to
respect cultural differences here than
any other part of the world that being
said a respectful traveler will enjoy
the legendary Arab hospitality I love
that coffee and dates right esmie
Mohammed this is a much nice
get your booking these pros this is the
Asian century so get out here now
because Asia is changing and developing
super fast cheap easy to get around full
of different cultures equals the ideal
place for an extended backpacking trip
cons the language barrier makes things
difficult culture shock is daily and
they eat some pretty freaky foods but
hey that's why we travel that was just a
brief overview with tons of
generalizations so if you have some
specific questions put them in the box
below and we will do our best to answer
them remember choosing where to travel
depends on your interest so keep in mind
where you have a friend or family where
you speak the language where you can
practice while your hobbies or where you
can learn a new skill so that's all for
this week find us on social media at
vagabrothers and we will see you on the
road it Lou so let's get started with
the most basic question why travel some
people travel because they want to see
places they've always dreamed of like
the Great Wall of China or the temples
of the Maya in Mexico maybe you travel
to do bucket list activities like scuba
diving the Great Barrier Reef
