So much love from Romania :D
Glad you put Romania on your top 5 😊🇷🇴
Easily
Definitely agree with Thailand. That's a country we continue to go back to. Love it there!
Erick you must visit in Romania (in addition to Transylvania):
- Maramureș / Maramures (especilly in winter when you will see a lot of tradition, dances, a lot of great food and a lot of Palinca :)) => Natural beauties, Culture & History )
Search location with traditions, music and dances.
- Delta Dunării / Danube Delta - is the second largest river delta in Europe, after the Volga Delta, and is the best preserved on the continent.
- Bucovina / Bukovina - Land of Painted Monasteries (search on RUclips - Romania's Painted Monasteries) with great food and a lot of tradition, great mountains ...
& our Nature Parks - Protected areas of Romania - Beautiful places with a lot of wild animals.
Ask Alin about this regions or search on internet. :D
Search especially Traditions and Folklore (different by regions). Our Folklore is unique and tell our history in clothes, music and thousands of different dances. You must see our country from the villages and the simple people like Alin Popescu family (I saw your RUclips videos :D).
Bucharest is great if you want to party, in center of the city, but his arhitecture don't look so good. City look very different in present that it look in history. Search on RUclips => Bucharest - Little Paris of the East (Bucharest between the two World Wars).
And seach on internet this website - romaniatourism . com
Greetings from Romania!
Love your videos. Thank you for your kind words about Romania. We love you too!
+Alex Ionescu can’t wait to return next month
You're right about Bucharest. It should aim for the modern look, as many historical buildings were destroyed.
shhhhhh. Don't tell those living in Bucharest. They might come for you. lol
I'm living in Bucharest :)) We all know it.
I once got 12 people drunk with 500 ml of pălincă. Some just by the smell.
+Adrian-Cornel Borină doesn't shock me. Lol
Nice list, and very diverse.
Bolivia is my favourite. A 26 hour flight from Australia, but so worth the time and money. Had 5 days on the Amazon, experiencing the wild life, then went back to La Paz before setting off through the Salt Flats. That place is magic, I felt like I was on another planet at times. When the afternoon sun was setting, the sky was on fire, a mix of yellow, orange, purple and pink.
Ahh you mentioned my pretty little hometown,Piatra Neamt.I've never been to Chicago or Colombia,but I've been to Phuket last mounth and it was awesome.Delish food and the people were really nice to me,and my dog also! So Thailand now is one of my top 5 too,among Barcellona,Abu Dhabi,Rio and Amsterdam. I really enjoy watching your videos while here in Milan is raining. New subscriber! :)
Hell your list isn't too different than mine. lol. Abu Dhabi is underrated. I really had a blast in Piatra Neamt. I wish I was vlogging back then. Think i'll go back soon. I'm in Romania November for sure.
Minority Nomad I'm glad you liked it.Travel safe,drink palinca and have fun! :)
Great List! South Africa is in my top 5 too. Thailand and Colombia are on my 2017 list so, thanks for the confirmation! Now Romania has never peaked my interested, probably because of bad PR but, I'll definitely look into it. You seem very relatable and trustworthy...thank you for your great content!
+Crystal St.Lucie most of Eastern Europe has bad press. Totally unfounded now. If you're into outdoors, Romanian is a must. Big city life, skip it. Lots of history though.
Thailand is getting popular with people of color these days. And rightfully so.
A must in Romania, without palinca and tiring cities, are the Transalpina and Transfagarasan trails with wonderful landscapes;). Greetings from Sibiu!
Greetings from Romania! You're a good man !
+haberini hey heyyyyyy
I'm a big fan of South Africa as well, subscribed and looking forward to more.
+Stop Having a Boring Life Rob the Legend himself. Appreciate the love.
I want to visit Romania so bad. I love their culture I love nature I love the food.
+NaturelDeese great place to visit
I'm seriously thinking of visiting there too. I came across this organization that helps the very poor people there, especially the children. I'm thinking of doing volunteer work there, but I don't know how long I want to volunteer. It can be a week during a week or two visit, or it can be much longer. I'm friends on facebook with the husband of the woman who started it. He seems like a cool guy.
I'm in Atlanta and I love traveling throughout the U.S., but my goal is to make it to Thailand and Laos after I get my transplant.
It’s a great place to end up. That’s for sure.
Your videos surely makes it seem that way.
Have met some really neat people from Romania. Will have to check it out.
A fantastic country and dope people. Some of my favorite folks are Romanian
@@Minoritynomad Right on bro. Will check it out when we get to Europe next year.
Yo dude!
I think agree with your list despite the fact that I've never been to 3 and 5, South Africa and Colombia. But I share a particular affinity for... ROMANIA!!!! I know you hate Bucharest, it's ugly as fuck but the amount of fun there is to have in that place is unbelievable. I have so many friends out there, it's unreal. I was supposed to stay there for 6 months when I went in 2012 and ended up living there for more than 2 and a half year cos I loved my life so much over there.
I'm getting back out there in the spring of 2019, only 18 months away. Can't wait. In the meantime, I'll go and visit my best friend in Cali, Colombia. And I know why you love the place: most beautiful girls in the world (along with Romanian girls right? You know that!
I also agree with the United States. It's probably not that well known because people associate the US with its cities but it's outside of major cities where you really get to enjoy the real beauty of the country. That place is a never ending resource of interesting places to visit, you need several lifetimes to do it all. I hope to visit more of the south next time I go, places like Louisiana, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia etc...
I'm from France and I would have been 210% surprised if my country ever made it to your top 5. But... meh... hey, you have to say, it's not an uninteresting country right? We're the most visited country in the world after all. I'm originally from Paris but this is where I live now (a little island off the coast of Brittany):

Ah, it's a hard life, isn't it?
You're one hell of a traveler! I'm an amateur compared to you. Only visited 35 countries and lives in 4 of them for more than a year. Keep it up man, you're living the dream!
France, and specifically Paris, has AMAZING international PR through popular culture. I would agree, France isn't an uninteresting place. Big fan of France outside of Paris actually. Especially Lyon. One of those countries I always find myself returning to.
Hey man, I would love to hear your thoughts about the Philippines. I lived in South Korea and took the time to visit cities there and in the Philippines. I loved them!! I've subscribed to your channel because I plan to hit more places around the world, and it's great to get another black man's perspective. Keep doing it up!
+Rodney Weston Thanks man. Appreciate the support. I love the Philippines. Actually taking a bit of a break in Manila and Cebu next weekend. Definitely going to be posting about it here.
+Minority Nomad I look forward to the stories! my next trip is hopefully sometime this fall. But after seeing your vids, I may take a detour to Pattaya!! looks like a good time!!
Rodney Weston Pattaya is a place to turn up. That's all. Definitely for a couple days but gets boring fast. Let me know if you need any specific help. I got you.
+Minority Nomad I'll let you know. I like to get turnt up when I travel abroad, but some places like Subic Bay provide a nice escape from the madness! I won't disclose too much of the debauchery when I travel, but I always find ways to act a fool when abroad!
I am from Bucharest and i agree with you, there are many other cities or places in Romania which are way more beautiful than Bucharest :) This city is good only if you want to get a good job, but it's overcrowded and everyone feels this issue...
thank you for commenting. A lot of people from Bucharest think I'm exaggerating. lol
I wish you would of add some videos or pics of those countries.
Which countries?
hey buddy.....i'm ex military myself living in Mexico right now.....i'm also from Texas! I've been living in Mexico for 3 years now (in 3 different locations) but seriously thinking about moving down to Colombia!
I recommend visiting Oradea when you return to Romania. Respect
87 countries - my god.
actually 92 now. lol
I've been to 8 and thought it was alot 😂😂😂 I gotta step my game up
Nahhhhh. Do you. I’m proud of anyone that’s traveled and broken the cycle. 2 or 196 countries. Doesn’t matter. 8 is more than most people for real.
G M from a 16 year old from Las Vegas. I’ve been to 10 and I thought that was a lot lmao
Minority Nomad 100% if you been to more than 5 countries you’ve already visited more than like 70% of the global population.
The same food you buy from a Thai restaurant in NYC for $15 - The same food in Thailand will cost you $2 to $3. The US SUCKS WITH HIGH COST OF LIVING AND HIGH TAXES + DISCRIMINATION!
Romania + South Africa = ❤️
Hello, i love palinca, mici, sarmale..
2 out of 3 for me. lol
@@Minoritynomad 😂😂🥂Merry Christmas!
Thank you. To you as well
@@Minoritynomad Thank you!
Greetings from Romania !! :)
Great video!! Could you please make a video of your 5 least favorite countries?:)
+Anderson Hills oh you trying to get me in trouble I see. Lol. I might do that.
Minority Nomad lol Please don't get banned! Thank you so much :)
+Anderson Hills nahhhh. I wouldn't get banned. Locals would be pissed. Hahahah. I tend to stay away from negative lists like that because I don't think it's fair to most countries. My list would likely include the entire Balkans region. But my dislike for traveling the region is their fault necessarily. If that makes sense. I'm going to be doing my favorites lists soon. After I hit 100 countries in June you'll see a lot more.
When you went to Taiwan, or any other country, do you have to show an airplane ticket that you're going to leave the country when you enter? I heard they don't let you in unless you buy outgoing tickets before hand.
+Mihai Smarandache it's funny you ask that. I explain this at 4:20 of this video. ruclips.net/video/na4Ya4LWQ1E/видео.html
In three years of constant travel immigration has asked me for an onward ticket TWICE not that I sit and think about it. Both were in the UK and I talked my way out of it. However, small airlines in Asia ask all the time. Like when I was coming back from Taipei. I lied and said I was taking the train to Cambodia and had to buy the ticket at the train station in Bangkok. That's true, but I'm not actually going.
I've heard bery few stories of immigration not letting you in as an American, Canadian, or Brit without onward tickets. Even if you have to grab one their only like $30 tops to grab a last minute ticket to some random destination. I never have had to but always ready just in case. Airlines can be strict about it. Immigration doesn't care usually.
I'm planning on going to spain, Barcelona to be exact . Any suggestion on hotels, resturants, bars/clubs and shopping. I'm active duty military so I'm use to traveling; any advice would be appreciated.
+mvn50 that's a bigggg question. Would need more details. Price range, area of the city, and time frame. Barcelona has some great hotels but they can be a bit pricey.
I'm originally from Ohio too. I've never been to Chicago LOL Although one of my old best friends is from Chicago. I'm interested in going to Columbia and Thailand I would like to spend a season there each year if I can handle the heat ect lol. Any tips would be greatly appreciated concerning the visas, seasons choosing an apartment or hotel ect
Nice video once again.
Great video 👍!
Thanks
I want to go to South Africa to dive. On my list for sure. So far Thailand is the best. I Grew up in Ohio, in Dallas since 1981.
I've heard the diving there is wonderful. A great friend did some shark dives out there to tag sharks for conservation. Have you dove Central America?
I have a friend in South Africa, she was with Phelps on Shark Week. Can't wait to go there.
I have dove Cozumel 29 times. lol I will be getting on a liveaboard out of Costa Rica on November the 4th.
I can't wait to travel permanently, I retire in 17 months at the age of 56. I am thinking of setting up base in Thailand, maybe Hua Hin, or maybe Phuket. You may have better ideas. lol
Hopefully $4 to 5k a month will be enough to do the diving, and traveling I want to do.
Thanks for the good work! I just found your channel.
+Scuba Tom with 4-5k a month in Thailand you can live anywhere you want and pretty much do anything. Lol. Phuket is a great place to base yourself for diving. Also look into Krabi. My pleasure. Any help you need let me know. I have several diving friends here.
I have looked at Krabi. For travel I would like to be close to an International airport. So many great places in the world. I love people of every race.
Krabi has an international airport also. Most Asian destinations are under $100 with Japan and South Korea being around $150. Phuket is slightly better to Europe though. Comparable to Asian countries. In the end, both places put you in a similar position. Best bet is to connect in Bangkok with is a $25 flight that takes hour and a half tops from Krabi or Phuket.
When choosing between Krabi and Phuket I tell people the biggest difference is the quality of life. Phuket is more touristic by far. Krabi is more sleepy beach town vibe.
You've been to 87 countries??? Great, brother!
Actually 88. My trip to Taipei last week. I'll hit 100 by the end of this summer. Thanks man.
thanks for the info
+mvn50 my pleasure
where can you buy the best electric or battery powered trimmers prior to going to European countries? Weird question but a brother just wanna stay fly.
+mvn50 Amazon for sure. I have to balance cost and performance because I'm not going to drop a couple hundred on something I may lose in a hotel room or something. I'm a Safety Razor man for my head and face but use the Wahl Ion to hit my mustache and beard. It's dull as hell right now so I need to grab a new one. About $40 on amazon.
If you like Romania, you should like Bulgaria too.
Two very different countries at this point. To each their own but I personally don't see much correlation between the two
how about the Philippines? is it a great place to go?
I like the Philippines. Might be top 10 for me someday if things change drastically in Manila.
Thailand is ok, but some people are scammers. Of course, you can live in a great hotel in Bangkok with 25 dollars per night. Food is good anywhere in South-Asia, in some places even a lot cheaper. For many of us, Vietnam looks much better (the girls are much, much better). But regarding beaches, I agree with Thailand. Haha, Colombia is a victim of some gorgeous latino girls. Did you visit Vietnam or Mexico?
So his top 5: Thailand, Romania, South Africa, United States and Colombia. Out of many he visited!!
Portugal is better than all you've mentioned all day everyday.
Portugal is cool. But its barely in my Top 10 in Europe. Lol. It wouldn't have been at all until recently when I went to Albufeira. Really enjoyed it. I have a few issues with Portugal
ROMÂNIAAAAAAAAAAAA
Gee...ONLY 87??? Step it up brutha!! LOL ;)
93 now. I'm slowing down. lol
Haha! Nice. What did you think of Japan? I'm living here now.
Loved living in Japan. Miss it. Overall, it's too boring and safe for me to live there long term. Love the people and food.
OMG...yes!! I've been trying not to admit it but the boring part is spot on. I'm from NYC born and raised and LOVE the peace and safety but yeah...a lil boring. May I ask where you lived? I currently live in Kyoto. Great, peaceful place but...yeah. Love Osaka. Visited Tokyo recently and had a blast.
Yeah. It's hard to say anything bad about Japan. But if you're a big city energy kind of person, it can be a problem
😌😌😌😌😌
working in the travelling related field?
+Joseph C yup
that explains it.
actually didn't start working in a travel related field. started traveling the world then turned it into a career.
Hi, nothing on Mexico
Not top for me
You messed up when you said US
Ok
Escape from The Police State NYC!
You mention the USA as one of your favourite countries for amongst other things, it's history. You're saying that tongue in cheek right? The USA as a country has probably the least history of any country in the world. Come on my friend, get real.
Longevity isn't a requirement for a country to have an interesting history to explore. I fully invite you to like wherever you want my friend and I'll continue to do the same. All the best.
