Hey, everyone, it's time to go international have you ever just wanted
to get away are you tired of running into your ex and her new boyfriend Evan
do you hate the fact that Evan knows more about wine than you know about
anything well if you never want to see her Evan and pretty much anyone else you
know ever again you should think about moving to one of the places on this list
but let's say you're just trying to avoid touristy spots for your next
vacation you might want to try visiting one of the most isolated places on earth
some of which you can only get to by boat or maybe plane sometimes even
reindeer so leave the Pontiac Aztek at home and visit number ten coober pedy
Australia Cooper PD is also known as the Opel capital world Opel as in the gem
they didn't name this place because so many girls born here named opal or
something like that I say that because I had a co-worker who named his daughter
opal she was almost 2 years old when I informed him that opal is actually a gem
he had no idea he just thought it was a good girl sounding name he actually
thought it was a location in Russia I don't know gem quality opals were first
discovered there in 1915 and the opal mining industry continues to sustain
this small town of about 3,000 people they have one patch of greenery here
it's a soccer field or pitch whichever you prefer everything else is that
Outback red-brown dirt color the city is a two-hour flight from Adelaide or a
nine-hour Drive if you have some books on tape you're looking to knock out kind
of out there in the outback a bit southern Australia number nine Iqaluit
Nunavut Canada before we get into this one I'm going to tell you up front I'm
going to mispronounce words in this video
it's just the way it is don't bother leaving a comment I already know some of
them are going to be wrong work it out it out quit is only accessible by sea or
air but there are daily flights from Ottawa so that's good it's about 1,300
miles why few try and drive there your car's gonna crash and you're going to
die in the snow that's all there is to it there's no roads going here so you
better be really really good at off-roading for like 1,300 miles which
is pretty much impossible anyway hope you got some good snowshoes it's most
famous attraction is the road to nowhere that tourists can walk bike drive or ski
until they end up in the middle of nowhere or until they freeze to death or
get by a bear I'm not sure which one I would
prefer if I had to choose do I want the quickness of being eaten by a bear or
the slow painful freezing to death I don't know either way I'm not going to
this place it's too far away number eight
so cultural island Yemen socotra island is one of the strangest places on the
planet thanks to its weird-looking dragon blood trees and a couple other
weird plants they look like something that kills a dude in a red shirt on Star
Trek Ewing leans up against it next thing you know they play some weird
music he starts choking and then overacting dies and they find him later
anyway the island is located between Yemen and the Arabian Sea the island has
a bunch of rare species of plants a third of them can't be found anywhere
else on the planet it's almost like its own little mini Madagascar some of those
plants like I said do look like something from Star Trek or the x-files
type thing the island has almost 4,000 residents
and one road that's at one road Sculptra Iowa's about 400 miles from the capital
of Yemen they do have some flights there but they are rare and I don't know
there's a bloody civil war going on there I wouldn't fly into Yemen or out
of Yemen I try and walk or swim or camel it or whatever you got to do gotta watch
out for the sand people here from Star Wars number 7 the sea well a sis Egypt
the sea well wases isn't the stereotypical Oasis
this one's really there it's not a mirage the ASIS has about 32,000 people
living there and it's been there since at least the seventh century that's when
they first made contact with people living there but they're not really sure
how long it's been there inhabitants speak their own language see
we language I'm sure that's kind of weird let's say you're in court in New
York City to ask if you need an interpreter you say yeah see we
interpreter and they spent 20 minutes on Google just to find out that it is
actually a thing and you're not really jerking them around they don't get many
visitors probably because it's about a 5 hour bus ride from Cairo and that has to
be a rough trip I mean grand buses in the u.s. suck how bad are the buses in
Egypt that go out in the middle of the desert but if you tough out the bus ride
you could stay in the Oasis buy some locally grown dates and olives swimming
Cleopatra's baths which is a mineral salt spring which kind of cool and then
stay in a hut built out of mud and salt yeah no thanks
I don't think I need to go to Egypt number six Pitkin island British
overseas territory pick an island is territory in the middle of the Pacific
sitting about 3,300 miles from New Zealand which they also serve as like
their contact to the outside world or it's almost like their city hall is
they're not on Pitkin on it's weird nothing flies here so getting there
requires about a 32 to 35 our yacht ride depending on whether the islands first
settlers were mutineers from a ship called the bounty by the way there's a
great movie with Mel Gibson called the bounty look it up it's all about these
people anyway they discovered the remnants of a Polynesian civilization
including stone God's burial sites and other ancient stuff when they landed and
burnt their ship down yeah that was in 1790 they burnt their ship because they
didn't want it sitting there in case any more of the British Navy came by and was
looking for them so they want to be as anonymous as possible this island is now
begging for people to move there they had 80 people at one point and now it's
around 50 so yeah not a lot of people number five om Yukon Russia it's
actually Siberia but we'll call it Russia and finally get on to Russia this
remote Russian town is known as the coldest inhabited place on earth it's
only got about 500 residents and they live in the dark pretty much all day
long I think they can get about four hours of sunlight the average
temperature here is minus 58 degrees these people have either no common sense
or reliable transportation anyone in their right mind should leave this place
immediately unless your feet are frozen to the ground you should be leaving
right now here's another thing besides the cold they don't have any indoor
plumbing which I guess as a result of the cold because pipes freeze so
everyone's got an outhouse nothing grows here people live off reindeer meat
frozen fish and ice cubes of horse blood I'm not joking and getting a little lump
in my throat now thinking about it it's kind of gross
getting there takes several days you could fly in from Moscow but the two
nearest airports are both about 560 or 70 miles away and it's also five hundred
and sixty or seventy miles on a road called the road of bones
number four long you been Norway long Gibbon is an island town off Norway's
northern coast and it's the world's most northern town it's covered in snow
almost all year round and the ground never seems to unfreeze it's like a
permanent sheet of ice long amid Norway is so cold it's actually legal to bear
your relatives there they have to be flown to the mainland and taking care of
their whether they're burning them or burying them I'm not totally sure all
the process but if they bury them in the ground and long you been they'll they'll
never decompose they'll just always be there
you can't drive there a boat ride is extremely rough Norwegian Airlines only
offers three flights a week and it's a three-hour flight from Oslo it's
definitely hard to get there number three Barrow Alaska Barrow is almost as
far north as long you'd be in Norway besides that they also share the
distinction of both being over 50 years old and still looking like they're
temporary towns top that off with there's no roads leading to either of
them Barrow is only accessible by plane there's an hour-and-a-half flight out of
Anchorage if you want to risk it more than a few planes have gone down in this
area sitting at the very top of Alaska their winters consist of 65 straight
days of darkness it's sucks in Barrow Alaska I don't know why anyone lives at
this one number two North Sentinel island North Sentinel island is a
Forbidden Island of sorts it's small island in the bay of bengal and is home
to the Sentinelese people a tribe that have rejected most the time violently
any contact from the outside world they're among the last uncontacted
people to remain on the planet and have no problem killing you if you try and
contact them in 1956 and laws were passed that provided protection for the
Sentinelese and other native tribes in the region basically they're to be left
alone they've made it very clear they don't
want to talk to us but that doesn't stop people from ending up there whether on
purpose or by mistake in November of 2018 John Allen Chu I believe his name
is Chou whatever a 26 year old American missionary trained and sent by
missionary based all nations was killed during an illegal trip to the restricted
island he was planning on preaching Christianity the sentence people maybe
they needed it who knows they certainly didn't want it they killed him soon
after his arrival now there was also a ship in 1981 the Primrose ran aground on
a North Sentinel reef on August 2nd 1981 about a weekend waiting for help they
noticed some men carrying Spears and bows and arrows that were building boats
on the beach the captain of the Primrose radioed that it was urgent for firearms
so the crew could defend themselves they didn't receive any because of large
storm in the area and ships had a hard time getting to him anyway a week after
that they were rescued by helicopter so that was cool they didn't get killed but
they were attacked apparently you can still see the out
of the ship on Google map it's on a reef on the northwest portion and number one
Tristan da Cunha the volcanic island of Tristan da Cunha is in the South
Atlantic and has a population of about 258 people with only nine different last
names when you live that far away from everyone else that type of stuff is
bound to happen this is what I love about the place the locals speak English
sort of they invented their own dialect with words from Scottish English st.
Helena South African American Dutch Italian and Irish and it also reflects
various other places of origin these guys sound like they're speaking
gibberish to almost anyone else but to themselves they're making sense this
place is so remote they don't have internet access anymore they did have
internet access it was available on Tristan da Cunha from 1998 to 2006 but
its high cost made it almost unaffordable for the local population
who primarily used it just to send emails to get there you have to time
your visit to get out one of the three ships that make nine trips from Cape
Town each year that's it they only get nine trips total that's how they get all
their supplies other than fish and maybe milk from cows they don't have a lot
going on there as far as supplies I watched one guy's video about traveling
to the island said it took him almost a week to travel from Canada to Tristan da
Cunha you know we had to fly to South Africa wait for the boat then you get on
across some of the roughest seas on the planet just to get to this place it's
crazy that one's interesting there's too much about a lot of these that you
should really read up on them they're pretty interesting alright so that is my
most isolated places on the planet I hope you guys enjoyed it hope you got
some information on it a little bit different going international I had one
guy complain he tunes in for American stuff and he was unsubscribing because I
did Vancouver one time like that's almost not part of America anyway anyway
hope you guys enjoyed it don't forget to give it a big thumbs up leave me a
comment tell me we thought hit that like button hit that subscribe button
everybody have a great day be nice to each other
