Tom: gets a perfect score in 13:24 Me after moving around for 45 minutes and scouring the map for 30 more: Yeah, I think that's it *places guess* "You were 9126 km away from the correct location."
About the Swedish one. The northern coast has granite and grey rock. That kind of limestone and similar is mainly found on the islands in the south east.
At first I thought that looked way too rough to be Swedish (I'm Finnish and have been there a lot) but I guess rural Gotland isn't as idyllic as the western coast lol
Also, you mainly see birch, pine and spruce up there, the trees are shorter and there is a certain light that me as a swede is very good at identifying
"We're in a place called Valdez? I find that hard to believe" Believe it or not, the British and Russians weren't the only ones who explored Alaska. The Spanish did as well. Valdez is named after naval officer Antonio Valdés y Fernández Bazán by explorer Salvador Fidalgo in 1790
Can't believe you ended up in "Grogarnsberget" in Sweden 😂 Gotland is pretty unique in nature, with the limestone and dry terrain. We used to wash our clothes at that house where the starting point was! Before we had water in our summer house 😅
theres been times i have compromised and just placed down a guess in the general area i think it is, and then i find out i scanned over the exact spot where it was earlier lol
2:28 Tom: I'm looking for the 224 as well The 224 in the middle of the screen: 👁️👄👁️ Shubenacadie is based off the Mi'kmaw word Sipekne'katik, which means "place abounding in groundnuts" or "place where the wapato grows." And fun fact: Valdez is known for the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Oil and the US....they go together like my country and nukes.
Nova Scotian here, got a good laugh out of "shoe-bin kendie", but more importantly a pleasant surprise at a round that i almost immediately recognised for once. cheers Tom, love the vids as always.
@@2amCryptid I'm well convinced by now that Nova Scotians have taken the piss out of our horrifying hodge podge of European, native, and just plain stupid made up place names and every combination in between, until they've just become history, and not a one is pronounced "right"
I'm from Moncton, New Brunswick! I've passed by Shubenacadie a lot when I had Hockey tournaments in East Hants and it's actually so crazy to see that out of all the places in the world, one of his rounds was in a town that's so close to home! I was surprised with his knowledge of Atlantic Canada, especially from a British person
if you've ever wondered anyone who learned about your channel from crossing an entire country in one line that went viral actually stayed subscribed and watching, I am one of them, your content is amazing mate keep it goin
The skip of 24 attempts is just.. Insane. Not even a highlight reel of the other attempts. It's hours of work for 15 minutes of video. King of geography
On the Sweden one, there was a bus you could have looked at to get the name of a larger city/town nearby. Something to look for in the future. Awesome round, mate!
I saw the brown signs to the accommodation and instantly thought "That is a Tassie style tourist sign all right!" I was also pretty impressed that he saw Launceston and instantly knew it was Tasmania too!
I grew up like 20 minutes from Shubenacadie and I was screaming "SHUBIE IS SHORT FOR SHUBENACADIE!!!" At my computer so thanks for that! I appreciate you and I love your videos!
He shouted out my Province of New-Brunswick, Canada in the first round too! I know it's less of a big deal but it's still pretty cool because it's probably the least known Province in Canada
@@maf654321 Acadia was the name of the French colony that encompassed a part of the region. It's a stand alone word, but probably yoinked from the Mi'kmaq language, just like Kanata!
@@vesmolol9185 The point is that it is right there on the screen in plain sight and he doesn't see it. I'm still trying to figure out why he misses the places sometimes and finds them at other times.
I live less than an hour from shubenacadie, you were right in your assumption that it’s a nickname, us scotians call it shubie, there’s a well known wildlife park there that we just fall “shubie park”, very nice place
Im from Fairbanks Ak and you zoomed in on it. Used to go halibut and pink salmon fishing with my family in Valdez ad a kid. I appreciate the flashbacks!!!
Absolutely fantastic run. These are some of my favorite challenges. I love the commentary you provide us as well. It's nice to see your methods and hear your thought processes.
I live in Prince Edward Island (neighboring Nova Scotia). I have watched an insane amount of your videos and have yet to see a PEI round! Was able to guess Nova Scotia quickly though, but hoping one day that a PEI round shows up!
@@kevin8029 they're effectively tied, and yes technically it probably is (during the school year atleast) but google still shows Gillette third if you just google "major cities wyoming". Also I think Tom has done some traveling in the US. and might have driven across the 90. It's also the only thing that sticks out on the NE side of the state when you're just looking at maps. Still a good pull from him, but he definitely saw it on the map/knew the general location because it's not exactly middle of nowhere, atleast not for the rest of that area.
i listen to these while i’m relaxing and i think it’s really funny that i knew exactly where you were in #1 cuz i’m from halifax. I had friends who grew up in Shubenacadie (pronounced Shubin-aca-dee)
Hey Tom, you can drag and drop that OBS symbol from that little " ^ " section in your task bar directly on to your taskbar. It shows a little red dot, if you are recording. Anyways good job, mate!
As a swede who has visited Gotland many times, the fauna is very unique. It's one of those places I always have gut feeling when I get it, and I am never wrong about it :)
I grew up a block from the corner of Conley Rd. and Kitchen Ave in Shubie. If you continued up the hill instead of down the hill to the #2, where you asked "what is that", (that's a Tinsmith shop actually, the oldest one still in existence before it was converted into a museum), would be the corner of Conley Rd. and Tulley Ave, the street I lived on for over 20 years. Shubenacadie is nicknamed Shubie by the locals. The Shubie River, and Shubie Park in Dartmouth all use the shortened nickname of Shubie instead of Shubenacadie. I live elsewhere in the province now, but I don't think you'll ever randomly get as close to my house as you did in this video.
This episode is so crazy. The first one in Shubenacadie, NS is like 15 min from where I grew up. Where you see the church, I used to eat pizza and shop at the Golden star convenience store. Right there is where Gabriel Wortman gunned down Heidi Stevenson and Joey Weber during the massacre here. That's grim, but very cool to see it here.
I did not know until recently that Tom made all of the music he puts in these videos! The whole album is amazing and gets me super nostalgic about the how to not travel europe videos.
Frighteningly dastardly feeling upon hearing you assume that you were hundreds of miles away for a couple of areas that I've spent a lot of time in. Congrats on honing in to a perfect score so quickly from those starting points!
A hint for the US -- and you probably know this by now, is that our highway numbering system for national routes (number on a white shield) and interstates (blue numbers -- equivalent of your motorways) follow a grid. Blue signs (interstates) go low to high from west to east (so I-5 will be on the west coast; I-95 will be on the east). Even numbers go low to high from south to north, so I-10 will be on the south and I-90 will be up north.) US Routes (white sign on shield) flip this: US 1 is on the east coast. US 101 is on the Pacific (west coast.) US 2 is on the north; US 90 is on the south. There may be stretches where they go opposite of their direction as they twist around the US, but that should get you in the general area of the US where you are. And if you see a 3-digit US or Instate like 355, it usually means it will, at some point, connect with the 2-digit road at some point, but it may run in any direction. It's basically an offshoot or connecting road.
I've noticed that every time I'm in Sweden or Finland I'm always much further south in the country than I think I am. It's true that the trees and everything look like you are very far north (which I guess you are in the global scheme of things) but you're often midway down Sweden or near the southern part of Finland despite that. I think when you're actually very far north in either country you wouldn't see any deciduous trees really like there were in this round, it's just all pine trees up there.
I might be in the minority but I definitely prefer the PB not being in the title of the video. I like the surprise of not knowing how fast you will get a perfect score.
@@fuelingthefire2389 Well yes and no. Depends on how the video is edited, if searching is sped up, or if he plays multiple rounds. He could have a 7 minute game in a 20 minute video if there were multiple decent attempts that were close to PB. Don't get me wrong I still watch the videos and enjoy them a lot; this is just a personal gripe.
Going in that early on Sweden was insane, such a long coastline with all the islands and everything. With so little to go on as well, nicely done mate!
I kept hearing Launceston as "lawn system" (in my head it made sense, I thought of like an installed sprinkler or something), and when Tom was like "Lawn system? Oh my god we're in Tasmania!" I got so confused about how he could be so sure about it
Valdez is a historic place. The original fishing town on Prince William Sound was destroyed in a 1964 earthquake and was refounded on a different site next to the proposed oil terminal, which was completed in the 1970s. Then around 1992 there was the infamous crash of the tanker Exxon Valdez and a resulting major oil spill.
Fun fact: "Shubie" aka Shubenacadie has a motorcycle track that is used for the Canadian motorcycle championships. I've been to the race there before actually when I was younger!
Having lived on Gotland for three years before, the geography of those google car images stood out immediately to me. It was either Gotland or Öland, since that dry-ish and exposed limestone landscape (referred to as "alvar") is typical for both those islands. Don't know where he was getting the Northern Sweden vibes from xD

it would take me 20 minutes to get one perfect score, this man gets 5 in. 13 minutes, insane effort Tom!

Welcome!
That Wyoming find was proper witchcraft, Tom. That landscape could have been about 20 different US states.
Yes, and I was thinking "Arvada is clearly a portmanteau of Arizona and Nevada ". Wrong.
but he knew roughly where Gillette was, so that was what got him there, not the landscape

Did not expect a round on the west coast of Tassie. Represent!
Haha I’ve literally been on the exact boat he zoomed in on on the Arthur River on a cruise when. Couldn’t believe it when I saw it

On the Sweden one, there was a bus you could have looked at to get the name of a larger city/town nearby. Something to look for in the future. Awesome round, mate!

Valdez is known for the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and a huge earthquake in the 60s. I visited there two years ago - beautiful area!
From what you said it definitely sounds like a great place to visit
All those snowy mountains around it makes it so mystical looking!
Right, when he goes "there's a valdez in alaska?" I was laughing and I don't live in alaska. Exxon-Valdez was such a big deal.

The original fishing town on Prince William Sound was destroyed in a 1964 earthquake and was refounded on a different site next to the proposed oil terminal, which was completed in the 1970s. Then around 1992 there was the infamous crash of the tanker Exxon Valdez and a resulting major oil spill.
"No idea where shewbie is or where it shewwbie." Well done 👏🏻
Google: ‘tries to blur things to support privacy’
Tom: ‘finds exact geological location in a couple of minutes’
Fun fact: "Shubie" aka Shubenacadie has a motorcycle track that is used for the Canadian motorcycle championships. I've been to the race there before actually when I was younger!
i thought that last round was going to be a goner but you actually pulled it off in less than 2 min, great job tom!
Oh my god I was screaming RIGHT THERE RIGHT THERE when he zoomed in on Valdez right away then left it
Having lived on Gotland for three years before, the geography of those google car images stood out immediately to me. It was either Gotland or Öland, since that dry-ish and exposed limestone landscape (referred to as "alvar") is typical for both those islands. Don't know where he was getting the Northern Sweden vibes from xD
I agree, but can also see the thought of an non local that it appears "up north"
God i miss travelling. That Alaskan town did it for me. I'm stuck in lockdown in QLD australia, with Tom's wits for company. Not a bad compromise :)
Hey Tom,
I grew up in Truro, Nova Scotia, and I can confirm that we call Shubenacadie “Shubie” as a nick name!
I've actually been over that bridge in Tasmania and even I didn't recognise it at first haha
Who else was yelling at their screen when he went right over Valdez?
"not where it shoooouuuu be" made me audibly laugh
