I love the fact that this is my hometown and how much love you showed to it! Btw the fact that they won’t let you fly drones at the Coloradas is because of the flamingos. If they get scared they won’t come back and they exclusively eat the microorganisms at the pink water, that’s why their color.
They don’t eat exclusively in pink water, I’ve seen them by so many waters that aren’t pink. Though I fully agree that you shouldn’t scare animals from places where they like to hang out!
meh it's safe but it isnt hahaha i've lived in cancun all my life and that place is a lil close and i've never heard of crazy stuff happening....@@AthenaProcyk
Yess true! I even saw it once where it is not advertised (came there every year for holiday) and it just so happened while we were there. Great memories tho.
You can see bioluminescence in the water, just not to that extreme, with decent regularity. It does depend on where you are and it is seasonal, but you can see a much lighter version of it. I've seen it multiple times while night diving in Bonaire, and even "toned down" from those famous pictures, it's gorgeous and so ethereal, like you're in an alien landscape. It doesn't photograph, but I remember it clearly, despite being years ago. That specific beach shot is an extreme case, and right place, right time, for sure.
It actually for the bioluminescence water, it depends on the season because it’s the algae that makes it glow but if you don’t come in the right season, then you don’t get the results that you want when I went to a camp, the algae seemed to light up better during the end of summer when it was still warm!❤️
I didn't liked the part with the Pink Beach, i felt like those guys tried to put Hope into a mess because she didn't wanted to pay them 10k, i hope she will not risk like that anymore for entertaiment, is not worth it, and those security peoples could easly shoot at her, doesn't look like a open place, i might be wrong, still.
@@SuitedSkaterLion I totally agree with you. It seems like they wants to scam Hope, but because Hope has a team and professional camera with recorded on, they change their plan and put Hope (and team) in "little" adventure. Because, wtf with those $10,000 price???? This price alone was totally a scam. A big scam. Not to mention they charged Hope in every place they told her
Please make this into a series! So cool to see more “irl” versions of this Pinterest type pictures.. a more realistic versions of it, I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Experiencing the people and the culture - yes, exactly. That is what traveling is all about. I used to travel solo a lot and would frequently get adopted by groups or couples traveling together and it was always a fun new adventure to find out about and discover new people and learn about their cultures. This was awesome! Thank you and Tyler so much! 💜
She didn't do ANYTHING to promote culture..had she been promoting culture she would have not published that it's ok to pay people for a better "shot". She didn't mention any local restaurants or how to support the communities she visited. She can't even pronounce Holbox correct.
@lamaestra1111 Your comment sounds like u didn't actually watch the full video. First off, this vid is about if pinterest shots are the same irl, if she were to be promoting the culture/local businesses, it'd be a completely different and longer vid. Secondly, nowhere in the vid does she actually pay someone to take "better" pics for her. It was only offered, but she never said yes to it. At the very end of the vid she sums up the actual most important parts of traveling, none of which have anything to do with getting the perfect shot, and more so about the experiences u make and the people u meet
When she couldn't even pronunciate Holbox correct I had to skip through to the end. These types of inlfuencers don't truly experience the culture, they pay for a fake reality lol. I get it *the video wasn't about culture*. Quite frankly, there is a reason she blurred than man out, what he offered is NOT permitted. When you are paying for the service of the tour guide then posting that he illegally offers that entrance is promoting such behaviors. Simply don't include that part. You folks don't understand the trickle down effect something like this causes. As more influencers and tourists come to these areas, flamingo population and nesting numbers have gone down. By posting that they were able to illeagaly cross a restricted area promotes that it's ok to come and look for that. or simply go on their own and do it. The entitlement. @@KarisaBear
The best part of the video: the parting word. Living in the moment, with the people you meet along the way. I had never seen these places. So happy to have you, that took me there.❤
This. I’m really glad she finished with that. It’s not all about the shot. Before the explosion of social media, photos were a way to keep the memory alive, and came secondary to the visit. Now it is mostly the other way around. So it’s refreshing that Hope mentioned this.
I love this style of content from her! Giving Safiya Nygaard vibes. Yes some of the experiences were overpriced but it seems like it was once in lifetime for her and that's dope.
@@kaworuswife it's like a mix of ryan Trahan (the videography style), cloecouture (the voice over and commentary) and safiya nygaard (the concept and vibe)
I’m from Mexico, and yes, if there’s a business opportunity, people take it, since many of this places went viral, owners realize that people will in fact pay for taking pictures, Cancun, tulum and every viral place, it’s a tourist trap, and there’s the tourist tax, it’s awful, but the tourism really helps the economy, so nice for you to experience visiting one of the many amazing places Mexico has to offer ✨ love your content
Your husband is so great and such a good sport, that he goes along with all you escapades, AND looks like he’s enjoying himself as well! We love you Hope and love all your content!
@@vlo4829Locations like these can be hell if you're getting nothing but a picture out if it. Sometimes there's lines and crouds of people out of frame waiting for a turn to take a picture, and there often quite far, so can take hours out of your day to visit. The fact that she visited more than one, for the sake of this video is not an easy feat, depending on what season she travelled in. My best friend is an influencer, she and I went to Bali I February, and wanted to visit the swings, it took her 2 hours to get there and another 2 hours to get back and it was still crowded, despite being a quiet time of year in Bali.
I live in a place that has bioluminescent water, and it can be REALLY visible. But a few things you need to know: 1. The time of year matters. Where I live, it's best between June and September, but it can even vary depending on the day. I don't know if it's the temperature, or how sunny it was during the day... but it's sometimes way better out of the blue. 2. You likely need a camera that specializes in shooting at night. Even when the bioluminescence is super bright, cameras can't pick it up very easily. If you really want to see bioluminescence, I would recommend going a couple nights in a row to account for the varying visibility. And I wouldn't count on getting it on video or in photos most of the time, but it is absolutely worth seeing in person!
I’m from Mexico and I feel happy when people give themselves the opportunity to get to know our places, culture and people, and you managed to capture a small part of everything beautiful about Mexico, thank you.
@@marisolpimentel2263 50/50 Los Airbnb no son sanos para la economía nacional en materia turística y por lo veo (apenas he visto la mitad) se hospedó en ellos, pero eso ya es en un aspecto mas técnico. Está bonito que aprecie una parte de la belleza natural del país, lo que no está chido es cómo lo hace.
There is something about how you talk with so much positivity and your voice have that joyous tone that makes me smile all through your videos....Love watching your content even if its just you sitting and talking.... Thanks for the positivity Hope
My heart felt for the man cleansing and washing Hope’s feet. Mexico has the humblest and kindest people. They’re going through a lot of hardship and yet still have a kind heart to serve others👏🏼🇲🇽
@@ediliennehenriquez5326 It was probably his place of business and besides he might not want others touching his property....!! I'm sure she paid him for the service/kindness....!! You all probably don't like shoe shiners either but the ones in my city make really good money....!!
@@ediliennehenriquez5326 what if he offered? If a foreigner got their feet dirty on a property I work, i would probably offer to rinse off their feet 😒
Cool video idea! I want to warn people about following random guides to “secret” spots or exclusive places because many will try to rip you off or steal/harm you :) It is very common and something to be careful of!
Doing this (just driving all around) around Mexico is extremely dangerous for Americans right now. Stick to only safe areas and pay attention to all travel advisories. I would not recommend anyone do this right now. Go to an all inclusive resort but don’t go around in the backcountry of Mexico right now. I’m actually pretty surprised she did this unless she didn’t know..
@@FerociousPancake888it’s not any more dangerous than driving around rural and city areas in the U.S. At least their guide was honest about how much influencers pay for the Pinterest spots and the people there were sweet.
Also, it's super unsafe to swim in the cenotes without a life vest and without the natives to be present. Some of them drag you down (doesn't matter how great of a swimmer you are) due to their location, the way they're connected to other cenotes, and the lack of salt on their water. Ppl have drown there 😒
Ohhh reminds me popular waterfall locations. I went to one in Limpopo (south Africa) and there were tons of plaques of people that have passed away..was eerie. I also nearly got taken by the waterfall so I'll never do something that dumb again. Respect the strength of nature.
@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606they are all connected, they're steams of water that connect at the bottom and can be super deep. I rented a place where there was one that was 70 meters deep, I was scared because I remember someone had told that near there was a cenote that drags people down regardless or your swimming skills. Luckily the one I stayed at wasn't that one, but I can be dangerous
This just makes me realize how unrealistic, time consuming, expensive, and draining going to these places are… especially just for a photo. Sometimes the best vacations are the ones closest to you! Thanks for the video! It makes me more aware of wasting time taking perfect photos of myself rather than experiencing great memories in the moment.
Love your comments at the ending. After living in Japan for the past 3 years, I can tell you that pinterest, instragram, etc. people are so frustrating to deal with. Just yesterday I was enjoying the Tokyo National Museum of Western Art with my daughter. Yes, we take pictures and even video to share with family, but we try to do it quickly, not impose on others, and enjoy the moment more than anything else! We were greatly enjoying the pieces by Monet, discussing his use of shadowing in his On the Boat painting to create the reflections in the water, while waiting for our turn up close...when we got stuck behind someone who wanted the perfect picture of them "contemplating" the painting. After over 10 mins of waiting for them to move on, we gave up. I could tell one of the museum personal was frustrated too...but non-confrontational culture...means they aren't likely to do anything unless they have to. Don't get me wrong, please do take photos and videos when it's allowed! It's great to have a way to look back on those memories. But also remember to live in the moment! So many people miss out on so much, because they're just chasing that one little social media shot and internet clout. And for the love of God, please just hurry the heck up and let other people enjoy the moment as well! Be a considerate clout chaser at least. 😆
Sounds like Seoul. People will form a line to stand in front of an artwork to take a photo. Also frustrating cuz of all the shutter sounds of everyone everywhere, since you can't turn off the phone camera shutter sound in Korea. Definitely annoying when you're trying to enjoy a nice gallery.
You are literally living the dream life I could never achive. My heart aches to travel, but the fridge needs food. My every passion is around art, beauty and fashion, but that too is gate kept by money and time. Honestly the closest I think i'll get to that kind of happy and freedom is living vicariously through you. So thank you for sharing with us.
Sweet Dear…I believe you CAN live this life. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow - But if you can dream it; you can do it. I’m sending you power & success vibes and have added your desires to my intercession list!
Idk if you know this, but there’s a lot of tiktokers who post how to get travel deals/discounts & they explain how they’re able to travel the world affordably with a normal average job😊It’s 100% possible things like hostels, cheap airlines, working in exchange for free accommodation while visiting other countries, etc! The world is such an exciting place to explore the possibilities are endless❤
I hope you get the chance to travel and live your dreams! I, too, love art and fashion. You could always take local trips, spend a day, weekend, or several days somewhere. You could visit local museums, historical sites, theaters, music, or plays.
Your dreams were placed into your heart for a reason. They are yours to go after. Please always remember that abundance is everywhere, and there are more than enough opportunities to go around for everyone to thrive and live their dreams. Find a side project you can start working on for even just an hour per day, or a few hours per week, that will give you another source of income. It's scary starting, I know, but please trust me when I say you must take risky leaps towards what you feel called to do. You CAN experience all the beauty that your life has to offer. What you are going through currently is only temporary. I promise. -Sincerely, a girl who was born in poverty, and built success alone. I love you, you've got this. Chin up. ❤ Edit: Don't let anyone make you feel like you can't do it! Their limits don't define your own!
I loved this video, it was really cool seing all those places in a more realistic way. That being said, I was worried for Hope and her team bc how did they just go through all that jungle alone? I'm not from Mexico, but I am from LatAm and I would never tell someone from the U.S. to do that. As beautiful as it is, it can also be crazy dangerous. To anyone planning a trip like this, always be careful and try to stick to big groups or have a local with you.
I honestly love it when her hair is back too which you can see in a lot more of the spur of the moment videography. She used to do that more with her workout stuff.
I think this might be my favorite hopescope video ever (as someone who was one of your first thousand subscribers)! I would LOVE to see more content like this! ❤
I've been watching your channel for years. You were a budget friendly, athletic apparel savior. THIS. I travel quite a lot and have never found anyone that explores travel hot spots with honest reviews and footage. This video was everything and more like these would be a game changer.
This is YOUR BEST VIDEO ever!!! 😳🥰 literally almost all those places are on my bucket list and the ones that weren't were Soo interesting. PLEASE do another part of these, this was manifestation GOALS! 🤩✨️
This video really gave me another look at RUclips videos, I’ve never seen such an nice video, the vibes were like amazing and it just gave me an amazing feeling, it just made me feel like I was at they places, and not to believe everything on the socials, and it’s the more with who you are and the fun you have around them. Ty for being here and entertaining us. ❤
A similar video series I'd recommend is Safiya Nygaard's two-part video where she stays at every hotel on the Vegas strip and tries a restaurant and activity at each one. SUCH a vibe that I've rewatched over and over because it's comfort content. She and her husband look like they're having so much fun and they're honest with each experience, I feel it's in the same vein as this video for sure!
I wish I could afford to do something like this. Thank you for taking this poor disabled woman on an amazing little trip! You are such a beautiful human being Hope!
i was in Mexico at this time! In puerto vallarta there is a sheraton hotel and it COST a lot, but you get a shuttle 25 minutes to another hotel and it’s by the beach, iguanas in trees, sunset, big table, it’s like a dream!
Something about this video... just makes me happy. You guys look amazing, you look like you guys had a great time and are just enjoying life. ❤ I love it. I love finding random things to do with my husband, especially on vacation... we tend to look for cheaper or free experiences ...cuz those can also be amazing but either way... This was actually such a fun concept though! My husband and I also dont consume adult beverages... but its so funny how often people include it into something automatically. It was nice for them to give you fancy sprite. Lol
Hi hope ! Greetings from the netherlands ! The reason you didnt catch the bioluminous water has to do with your camera , you need to put your flash out and use a night vison and a long shuttertime . We have the bioluminois water in the summer sometimes at the beach. Better luck next time!!! Love the video ❤
I love your final point and wish you dwelled on it a little more throughout the video. I travel a lot and HAAAAATE all the tourists that flock to certain small but famous places only to get a specific photo for social media. That's not what traveling should be about AT ALL. It's a thousand times better to appreciate and learn about a new culture than to recreate a picture hundreds of other people have already taken and posted on IG... You can take pictures of yourself at home - that'll leave you more time to fully enjoy the places you visit!
not to mention the ecological damage all those tourists stampeding through the jungle creates... its a very delicate ecosystem and people aren't supposed to be swimming in cenotes covered in perfumes and toxic chemicals like sunscreen. people are literally poisoning the environment
You're a doll and I only say this from experience. Cenotes are sadly not the fresh water gems we thought of anymor.. towns are growing faster than they're able to handle and a lot of sewage ends up in the underwater cave systems. Tulum is a small fishing village and needs some help now to support everything. Take care and be safe all ❤❤
There’s a place in vqes Puerto Rico that has the bioluminescent bay and you get to be in a clear kayak but you can’t take pictures so it keeps the light stays and it’s the most bioluminescent bay ever
If I'm being honest Hope, I am pretty sure that security is keeping 'you' safe. They don't want the tourists to be harmed in any way. So it was the total opposite of what you were thinking. lol
My son, husband, and I went to the pink, salt flat in Progresso, Mexico. It was SUPER pink and one of my favorite pictures of my son and I was taken there. We also went to the bioluminescence in Titusville, Fl at night in clear kayaks. It was SOOO GORGEOUS!!!!
I absolutely LOVED THIS TOUR HOPE!!!me and my husband will never be able to do something like any of these things and I truly appreciate that you went so we can honestly see them in real life instead of just on internet!!!!you rock…me and my husband and my children are huge fans of your channel. I don’t usually comment, but I truly wanted you to know how much we all enjoyed watching this, in my home. While watching my two younger children kept pulling up the spots you were at on the family IPad and were excited for that. Thanks!!!
I loved the video as always and you looked gorgeous, but honestly, watching you break the law for a photo, when it was more than obvious you were not allowed to fly drones or enter was extremely disappointing PLUS incredibly dangerous. Following that guy was so stupid, he could’ve been taking you anywhere and more importantly to ANYONE. Even if you guys were not alone this was terrible to watch. Honestly, American tourist coming to break the laws cause it’s fun but getting so angry when something terrible happens is just, wild.
It was just for a photo calm down 💀….also if she chose to follow the guide it’s her choice and it didn’t affect u idk why yall r steaming in these comments 😭
I literally stayed in that Airbnb two weeks ago! Even the same pod :) B&K were so nice! The mosquitos ate us up but the bed was one of the comfiest ones ever. Such a crazy coincidence to see the little details again like the guest guidebook and the BELL 🔔 lol
@@ryeroniI’ve been there before! Each person in my family spent about 50 dollars except someone who got a steak that was around 120. Then we got some appetizers so it was about 550/600 dollars with drinks and wine and tip. This was 2 years ago tho so prices may have changed
you looked like you had so much fun doing this. Very enjoyable. and helps others to know if they want to add some of those destinations into their itinerary. Great job, amazing photos
im so glad i wasn't the only one who thought of this. i always wanted to find a place like this one day tbh, i was obssessed with h2O as a kid/teen 😭😭 honestly i still love it.
This was a video i never knew i needed. Wow just wow!! The locations, the reality vs expectaion, the joy of some of those experiences! Just perfection Hope!! ❤
Aaaaahhhh I’m from the Yucatán peninsula, I’m so in awe you made a video of the beautiful attractions you can find in there. hope you had fun! 😊🎉 ps. You can find cenotes in the whole peninsula!!
I had an expectation x reality moment in Iceland where the place I wanted to see the most was, actually, illegal to get close to. 🤣 The guide said people are destroying the area going into the spot they shouldn't to get pictures. This video is sooo important to show that!
Totally saving this video for if I visit Mexico in the future! Thanks for giving us authentic reviews! The culture, food and people are always the best part of visiting any country! Every touristy place I've been to always has lines and waits as well.🤣It just comes with the territory. Love your travel vlogging style!
my parents are from mexico and with having the privilege to travel back in forth, if you were to want to visit special places, it is better to do it as early as possible! busy hours for any place will always be 12pm, 3pm and 6pm since they are mainly food or tourist hours ☺️!
I swam in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico and I feel like all the Pinterest pictures are doctored. It was GORGEOUS in real life but it’s more of a glittery glow than a straight up sparkle & seems incredibly difficult to actually capture on camera so I didn’t even try and just enjoyed it in real life :)
I loved this video so much!!! I love the fact you and Tyler just travel the world together making videos like this, it’s so wholesome!! Love you hope🫶🏻❤️
This is One of my favorite videos from ur account ❤❤❤...I'm about to turn 20 and haven't seen much of this world yet and seeing how beautiful it can be in a single video brought me so much hope in my future to visit the world as much as I can when I'm capable of doing so...
That museum that was 30 mins away in the jungle truly felt like something only seen in a movie or a fairytale. Also I just have to say I love the way you ended this video, I think that message was something that doesn’t get said enough.
you should totally make this a series and i love how you travel for us to see if it’s as real as it looks. 2,000 for a tree house is weird but for that treehouse is worth I think I’ve seen your photos reacting to them. These places are amazing please make more of these videos!❤ Natures beauty!❤
I absolutely loved this video!!! Such a fantastic idea to visit all these places and give your honest review. I wish I could have a sit down conversation about the places as I’ve been to several of them ❤
Your content always inspires me so much! I always find myself watching your videos all the way until the end. I hope you'll be coming to VidSummit again this year because I would love to see you speak live
Just come to San Diego we get the bioluminescent all the time, I’ll just go down to the beach and sit and watch at night you can see the dolphins swimming through the waves with blue lines behind them, and when the surfers are out it’s even cooler
I think your picture at the pink beach was a 10 outta 10, the other girls picture was a 4 outta 10!!! Keep doing all the amazing things you do and never stop being so sweet!!!llk
Sooo gorgeous thank you for taking us on this beautiful vacation and giving us a tour with you guys! So nice you are very thorough thank you again love it!🙏💯❤️😉🌞😎
Gonna be a lot of hot takes in this one. I'd like to preface this by saying I like Hope and her channel, I watch everything she puts out and this is not directed at her but at an idea. All these locations are really gorgeous, wild and clearly not yet trampled by mass tourism - I never knew how diverse just that one area of Mexico is. Makes me want to go there, I've never really even considered it before, so I guess I'm glad Pinterest took you down this route lol But… the heavy emphasis on getting "the shot" for socials is such a turn off to me. I mean, obviously, commemorate your vacations as you wish, it's your money and time (and in Hope's case - business)! But hot take… going to a unique place to reproduce an exact photo or experience someone else took or had for a social media post that amounts to "I did this too" (while breakings local rules and laws to do so)? Why? So what? The internet is now full of photos of different people in those same positions at the same angles in the same places at the same times. It's like those cardboard cutouts at county fairs where you stick your head in the hole where the face goes. Why not take photos at new angles and of things around the "the shot" (the people, the culture, the animals, the mundane details)? These shots are often way more poignant and can end up carrying more emotional value because they're totally unique to you, your trip and especially your mind's eye. *Those* shots contribute to our shared understanding of each other, not the ones that parrot some influencer over and over. I say all this because I genuinely fear we’ll eventually lose our unique selves in the noise that is social media if we feel like we *must* replicate someone in order to leave a mark.
i visited cancun a couple of years ago and i loved it! the people and the history were definitely the highlight for me, everyone is so nice and friendly there
“”Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me possesses everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.” Yoḥanan (John) 5:24 TS2009 “”Repent therefore and turn back, for the blotting out of your sins, in order that times of refreshing might come from the presence of the Master,” Ma`asei (Acts) 3:19 TS2009 “”For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only brought-forth Son, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life. “For Elohim did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” Yoḥanan (John) 3:16-17 TS2009
I love the fact that this is my hometown and how much love you showed to it! Btw the fact that they won’t let you fly drones at the Coloradas is because of the flamingos. If they get scared they won’t come back and they exclusively eat the microorganisms at the pink water, that’s why their color.
They don’t eat exclusively in pink water, I’ve seen them by so many waters that aren’t pink. Though I fully agree that you shouldn’t scare animals from places where they like to hang out!
is this area of Mexico safe?
I doubt she would care about anything but getting her shot 😂

@@dancesmokesmile344for real the water in the zoo all the flamingos are standing in isn't pink either.
Bioluminescent beaches are real. But I feel like they're like seeing a Aurora. You need to be there at the right time.

There's several spots around where i live in central Florida that go crazy with it in the summer.
its not safe either
It actually for the bioluminescence water, it depends on the season because it’s the algae that makes it glow but if you don’t come in the right season, then you don’t get the results that you want when I went to a camp, the algae seemed to light up better during the end of summer when it was still warm!❤️

This. I’m really glad she finished with that. It’s not all about the shot. Before the explosion of social media, photos were a way to keep the memory alive, and came secondary to the visit. Now it is mostly the other way around. So it’s refreshing that Hope mentioned this.
I love this style of content from her! Giving Safiya Nygaard vibes. Yes some of the experiences were overpriced but it seems like it was once in lifetime for her and that's dope.
I actually think this particular idea might be inspired by Ryan Trahan, but it might be Safiya as well?
@@kaworuswife it's like a mix of ryan Trahan (the videography style), cloecouture (the voice over and commentary) and safiya nygaard (the concept and vibe)
I would love to see a travel collab with the two of them
The impression might be because she also has a Tyler 😂
@@MinutoTerrestre so does ryan.... all Tyler's have one style confirmed👍
I’m from Mexico, and yes, if there’s a business opportunity, people take it, since many of this places went viral, owners realize that people will in fact pay for taking pictures, Cancun, tulum and every viral place, it’s a tourist trap, and there’s the tourist tax, it’s awful, but the tourism really helps the economy, so nice for you to experience visiting one of the many amazing places Mexico has to offer ✨ love your content
I so want to come and visit some of these places but I will have to find some dupes cuz I can’t afford to do all of these
Do you know where the pink beach is located?
There is something I really like about locals price gouging tiktockers to get pics of themselves at a salt farm.
Your husband is so great and such a good sport, that he goes along with all you escapades, AND looks like he’s enjoying himself as well! We love you Hope and love all your content!
Does he hate traveling? This looked like a fun trip that was not hampered at all by the Pinterest picture premise...
@@vlo4829Locations like these can be hell if you're getting nothing but a picture out if it. Sometimes there's lines and crouds of people out of frame waiting for a turn to take a picture, and there often quite far, so can take hours out of your day to visit. The fact that she visited more than one, for the sake of this video is not an easy feat, depending on what season she travelled in. My best friend is an influencer, she and I went to Bali I February, and wanted to visit the swings, it took her 2 hours to get there and another 2 hours to get back and it was still crowded, despite being a quiet time of year in Bali.
Well im sure they did a lot of filming but she was also getting paid a lot for this video soooo he wouldnt mind a new car for example. ;)@@vlo4829
Lmao duh i mean who wouldnt enjoy themselves in such trips and he is doing it all for free while she pays for everything
I’m pretty sure he works with her and not just being drug along to take pictures!
How To Write Off Your Vacation as a Business Expense. I say that with admiration! Masterfully done.
Came here to say this
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Definitely came here to say the same thing! What a way to do it!
For real
I live in a place that has bioluminescent water, and it can be REALLY visible. But a few things you need to know:
1. The time of year matters. Where I live, it's best between June and September, but it can even vary depending on the day. I don't know if it's the temperature, or how sunny it was during the day... but it's sometimes way better out of the blue.
2. You likely need a camera that specializes in shooting at night. Even when the bioluminescence is super bright, cameras can't pick it up very easily.
If you really want to see bioluminescence, I would recommend going a couple nights in a row to account for the varying visibility. And I wouldn't count on getting it on video or in photos most of the time, but it is absolutely worth seeing in person!
Where do you live? 😭
You should make this a series! Traveling to different places off Pinterest! Different states and countries!
That's a really big true 😍😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
Yasss
I’m from Mexico and I feel happy when people give themselves the opportunity to get to know our places, culture and people, and you managed to capture a small part of everything beautiful about Mexico, thank you.
Nah, el vídeo solo da vibes de gringo gringeando en México
@@marisolpimentel2263 50/50
Los Airbnb no son sanos para la economía nacional en materia turística y por lo veo (apenas he visto la mitad) se hospedó en ellos, pero eso ya es en un aspecto mas técnico.
Está bonito que aprecie una parte de la belleza natural del país, lo que no está chido es cómo lo hace.
@@Asbryn1004 Eso, en algunas partes se me hizo medio irresponsable e irrespetuoso
I've never realized Mexico is so amazingly beautiful
@@akherousia I mean every country has beautiful places if u look close enough. It's just that they are not popular on social media
4:16 It’s actually real! Just right place, wrong time :))
Can we talk about HOW AMAZING HOPE LOOK? Like the outfits, the hair, her... Stunning!
I was thinking that! she looks so happy and healthy!
Yes hope is such a wonderful person and she looks so beautiful she is the best you tuber 🫶🫶🫶🐚🌸
@@yourbeautybabyI agree!
IKR
Factsssss
There is something about how you talk with so much positivity and your voice have that joyous tone that makes me smile all through your videos....Love watching your content even if its just you sitting and talking....
Thanks for the positivity Hope
13:26 obsessed with this treehouse 😍

My heart felt for the man cleansing and washing Hope’s feet. Mexico has the humblest and kindest people. They’re going through a lot of hardship and yet still have a kind heart to serve others👏🏼🇲🇽
But why ? She couldn't do it herself?
It irked me. She could’ve just wiped her own damn feet
@@ediliennehenriquez5326 It was probably his place of business and besides he might not want others touching his property....!! I'm sure she paid him for the service/kindness....!! You all probably don't like shoe shiners either but the ones in my city make really good money....!!
@@ediliennehenriquez5326 what if he offered? If a foreigner got their feet dirty on a property I work, i would probably offer to rinse off their feet 😒
Yeah that was a little weird I would wash my own feet ☹️
Cool video idea!
I want to warn people about following random guides to “secret” spots or exclusive places because many will try to rip you off or steal/harm you :) It is very common and something to be careful of!
Doing this (just driving all around) around Mexico is extremely dangerous for Americans right now. Stick to only safe areas and pay attention to all travel advisories. I would not recommend anyone do this right now. Go to an all inclusive resort but don’t go around in the backcountry of Mexico right now. I’m actually pretty surprised she did this unless she didn’t know..
@@FerociousPancake888it’s not any more dangerous than driving around rural and city areas in the U.S. At least their guide was honest about how much influencers pay for the Pinterest spots and the people there were sweet.
$150 for a nine course meal with 9 cocktails, live music and a full on experience doesn’t seem too bad 😍
I could watch Hope swimming and enjoying the fairytale setting in that cenote for 10 min every day. it is such a vibe, real world troubles dissapear.
Also, it's super unsafe to swim in the cenotes without a life vest and without the natives to be present. Some of them drag you down (doesn't matter how great of a swimmer you are) due to their location, the way they're connected to other cenotes, and the lack of salt on their water. Ppl have drown there 😒
Ohhh reminds me popular waterfall locations. I went to one in Limpopo (south Africa) and there were tons of plaques of people that have passed away..was eerie. I also nearly got taken by the waterfall so I'll never do something that dumb again. Respect the strength of nature.
Oh wow, I had no idea. But it did feel a bit creepy when she talked about those very deep spots, where you can't even see the bottom.
What does it connect to? Does it empty into the ocean? What are cenotes anyway?
@@cheryl-lynnmehring8606they are all connected, they're steams of water that connect at the bottom and can be super deep. I rented a place where there was one that was 70 meters deep, I was scared because I remember someone had told that near there was a cenote that drags people down regardless or your swimming skills. Luckily the one I stayed at wasn't that one, but I can be dangerous
Me reading this a few months after swimming in Cenote Sotuta by myself 😳😨 I'm thinking that was a bad idea
This just makes me realize how unrealistic, time consuming, expensive, and draining going to these places are… especially just for a photo. Sometimes the best vacations are the ones closest to you! Thanks for the video! It makes me more aware of wasting time taking perfect photos of myself rather than experiencing great memories in the moment.
Love your comments at the ending. After living in Japan for the past 3 years, I can tell you that pinterest, instragram, etc. people are so frustrating to deal with. Just yesterday I was enjoying the Tokyo National Museum of Western Art with my daughter. Yes, we take pictures and even video to share with family, but we try to do it quickly, not impose on others, and enjoy the moment more than anything else! We were greatly enjoying the pieces by Monet, discussing his use of shadowing in his On the Boat painting to create the reflections in the water, while waiting for our turn up close...when we got stuck behind someone who wanted the perfect picture of them "contemplating" the painting. After over 10 mins of waiting for them to move on, we gave up. I could tell one of the museum personal was frustrated too...but non-confrontational culture...means they aren't likely to do anything unless they have to. Don't get me wrong, please do take photos and videos when it's allowed! It's great to have a way to look back on those memories. But also remember to live in the moment! So many people miss out on so much, because they're just chasing that one little social media shot and internet clout. And for the love of God, please just hurry the heck up and let other people enjoy the moment as well! Be a considerate clout chaser at least. 😆
Sounds like Seoul. People will form a line to stand in front of an artwork to take a photo. Also frustrating cuz of all the shutter sounds of everyone everywhere, since you can't turn off the phone camera shutter sound in Korea. Definitely annoying when you're trying to enjoy a nice gallery.
You are literally living the dream life I could never achive. My heart aches to travel, but the fridge needs food. My every passion is around art, beauty and fashion, but that too is gate kept by money and time. Honestly the closest I think i'll get to that kind of happy and freedom is living vicariously through you. So thank you for sharing with us.
Sweet Dear…I believe you CAN live this life. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow - But if you can dream it; you can do it. I’m sending you power & success vibes and have added your desires to my intercession list!
@@sandie1798 The fact that the nicest person to me today was from a RUclips comment reply. Thank you, seriously.
Idk if you know this, but there’s a lot of tiktokers who post how to get travel deals/discounts & they explain how they’re able to travel the world affordably with a normal average job😊It’s 100% possible things like hostels, cheap airlines, working in exchange for free accommodation while visiting other countries, etc! The world is such an exciting place to explore the possibilities are endless❤
I hope you get the chance to travel and live your dreams! I, too, love art and fashion. You could always take local trips, spend a day, weekend, or several days somewhere. You could visit local museums, historical sites, theaters, music, or plays.
Your dreams were placed into your heart for a reason. They are yours to go after. Please always remember that abundance is everywhere, and there are more than enough opportunities to go around for everyone to thrive and live their dreams. Find a side project you can start working on for even just an hour per day, or a few hours per week, that will give you another source of income. It's scary starting, I know, but please trust me when I say you must take risky leaps towards what you feel called to do. You CAN experience all the beauty that your life has to offer. What you are going through currently is only temporary. I promise.
-Sincerely, a girl who was born in poverty, and built success alone.
I love you, you've got this. Chin up. ❤
Edit: Don't let anyone make you feel like you can't do it! Their limits don't define your own!
I loved this video, it was really cool seing all those places in a more realistic way. That being said, I was worried for Hope and her team bc how did they just go through all that jungle alone? I'm not from Mexico, but I am from LatAm and I would never tell someone from the U.S. to do that. As beautiful as it is, it can also be crazy dangerous. To anyone planning a trip like this, always be careful and try to stick to big groups or have a local with you.
The unkept beach waves on hope 1000/10! Also the honest reviews is what the internet NEEDS!!! And the Pinterest captions had me dyinggggg. So funnyyyy
I honestly love it when her hair is back too which you can see in a lot more of the spur of the moment videography. She used to do that more with her workout stuff.
I think this might be my favorite hopescope video ever (as someone who was one of your first thousand subscribers)! I would LOVE to see more content like this! ❤
FIRST 1,000 CLUB?! ❤❤❤❤ thank you so much Laura 😭🙏🏼
sameeeee !!!!
GIRL ME TOO
@@hopescope Thank you, now i know where to go this summer.
I love the video idea.
Me to girl
I know this was about all the beautiful locations, but I couldn't get over how naturally stunning Hope is 💓
I've been watching your channel for years. You were a budget friendly, athletic apparel savior. THIS. I travel quite a lot and have never found anyone that explores travel hot spots with honest reviews and footage. This video was everything and more like these would be a game changer.
This is YOUR BEST VIDEO ever!!! 😳🥰 literally almost all those places are on my bucket list and the ones that weren't were Soo interesting. PLEASE do another part of these, this was manifestation GOALS! 🤩✨️
When hope was talking about unlocking the car door (7:30 ) she said "this is not a tutorial" got me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This video really gave me another look at RUclips videos, I’ve never seen such an nice video, the vibes were like amazing and it just gave me an amazing feeling, it just made me feel like I was at they places, and not to believe everything on the socials, and it’s the more with who you are and the fun you have around them. Ty for being here and entertaining us. ❤
A similar video series I'd recommend is Safiya Nygaard's two-part video where she stays at every hotel on the Vegas strip and tries a restaurant and activity at each one. SUCH a vibe that I've rewatched over and over because it's comfort content. She and her husband look like they're having so much fun and they're honest with each experience, I feel it's in the same vein as this video for sure!
We went on a bioluminescent kayak tour in Florida last summer and it’s something that EVERYONE should experience!! It was amazing!
I LOVED THIS! You made me add so many more things to my bucket list! I NEED a pt 2!!! I love you guys!🫶🏻
I wish I could afford to do something like this. Thank you for taking this poor disabled woman on an amazing little trip! You are such a beautiful human being Hope!
The pink beach photos are giving ✨Lover✨ especially with that dress!
Omg yes!!!
I love how sneaky you were and will do anything for a photo-shot and a review😂 love you girl!
Pursuing Pinterest dreams in real life is a wild ride! 🌸 From pink beaches to sneaky drone shots, loved every second of this adventure!
I love when content creators just go out and do what they always wanted to do. It makes the video so much more fun
i was in Mexico at this time! In puerto vallarta there is a sheraton hotel and it COST a lot, but you get a shuttle 25 minutes to another hotel and it’s by the beach, iguanas in trees, sunset, big table, it’s like a dream!
10/10 on fulfilling your video title with the promised content and more! And no exaggerations or click bait! Thank you!!!❤❤❤❤
Something about this video... just makes me happy. You guys look amazing, you look like you guys had a great time and are just enjoying life. ❤
I love it. I love finding random things to do with my husband, especially on vacation... we tend to look for cheaper or free experiences ...cuz those can also be amazing but either way... This was actually such a fun concept though! My husband and I also dont consume adult beverages... but its so funny how often people include it into something automatically. It was nice for them to give you fancy sprite. Lol
Seeing that you’re reading Heir of Fire made me so happy😆 I hope you’re enjoying your SJM journey!!!!
Hi hope ! Greetings from the netherlands ! The reason you didnt catch the bioluminous water has to do with your camera , you need to put your flash out and use a night vison and a long shuttertime . We have the bioluminois water in the summer sometimes at the beach. Better luck next time!!! Love the video ❤
I love your final point and wish you dwelled on it a little more throughout the video. I travel a lot and HAAAAATE all the tourists that flock to certain small but famous places only to get a specific photo for social media. That's not what traveling should be about AT ALL. It's a thousand times better to appreciate and learn about a new culture than to recreate a picture hundreds of other people have already taken and posted on IG... You can take pictures of yourself at home - that'll leave you more time to fully enjoy the places you visit!
She needs to take all those pictures so she can deduct the trip on her tax return. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
not to mention the ecological damage all those tourists stampeding through the jungle creates... its a very delicate ecosystem and people aren't supposed to be swimming in cenotes covered in perfumes and toxic chemicals like sunscreen. people are literally poisoning the environment
6:58 "Mark Rober taught me all about it🤓😅
You're a doll and I only say this from experience. Cenotes are sadly not the fresh water gems we thought of anymor.. towns are growing faster than they're able to handle and a lot of sewage ends up in the underwater cave systems. Tulum is a small fishing village and needs some help now to support everything. Take care and be safe all ❤❤
sorry but... im no't GRINGO...
Hope is my favourite comfort youtuber she is so humble and that dress is beautiful ❤️
There’s a place in vqes Puerto Rico that has the bioluminescent bay and you get to be in a clear kayak but you can’t take pictures so it keeps the light stays and it’s the most bioluminescent bay ever
If I'm being honest Hope, I am pretty sure that security is keeping 'you' safe. They don't want the tourists to be harmed in any way. So it was the total opposite of what you were thinking. lol
My thoughts as well
Love that your reading the Throne of glass series its one of my favorites!
My son, husband, and I went to the pink, salt flat in Progresso, Mexico. It was SUPER pink and one of my favorite pictures of my son and I was taken there. We also went to the bioluminescence in Titusville, Fl at night in clear kayaks. It was SOOO GORGEOUS!!!!
I absolutely LOVED THIS TOUR HOPE!!!me and my husband will never be able to do something like any of these things and I truly appreciate that you went so we can honestly see them in real life instead of just on internet!!!!you rock…me and my husband and my children are huge fans of your channel. I don’t usually comment, but I truly wanted you to know how much we all enjoyed watching this, in my home. While watching my two younger children kept pulling up the spots you were at on the family IPad and were excited for that. Thanks!!!
you're always stunning but in this video you're literally glowing
2:00 dang I hope you tipped the hell out of your tour guide he went above and beyond beyond
Didn't mean that in an aggressive way, you seem like a very thoughtful person and I'm sure you did right by him
I loved the video as always and you looked gorgeous, but honestly, watching you break the law for a photo, when it was more than obvious you were not allowed to fly drones or enter was extremely disappointing PLUS incredibly dangerous. Following that guy was so stupid, he could’ve been taking you anywhere and more importantly to ANYONE. Even if you guys were not alone this was terrible to watch. Honestly, American tourist coming to break the laws cause it’s fun but getting so angry when something terrible happens is just, wild.
It was just for a photo calm down 💀….also if she chose to follow the guide it’s her choice and it didn’t affect u idk why yall r steaming in these comments 😭
I literally stayed in that Airbnb two weeks ago! Even the same pod :) B&K were so nice! The mosquitos ate us up but the bed was one of the comfiest ones ever. Such a crazy coincidence to see the little details again like the guest guidebook and the BELL 🔔 lol
12:30 was soo beutiful omg just like how i used to imagine in my childhood,
We need to know how much your cave dinner with no prices cost!! Lol the 24kt steak...inquiring minds need to know! 😂
right! I'm so curious
I was curious too so I looked it up. It's 4500 pesos/268 dollars!
Well, she acts like she thinks $50 for an evening dress is a lot of money, which never seems genuine to me.
@@ryeroniI’ve been there before! Each person in my family spent about 50 dollars except someone who got a steak that was around 120. Then we got some appetizers so it was about 550/600 dollars with drinks and wine and tip. This was 2 years ago tho so prices may have changed
AMEN
Can we talk about HOW AMAZING HOPE LOOK? Like the outfits, the hair, her... Stunning! So preety
I've been to a bioluminescent beach and it was so nice
I am 53 years old and yet I get excited to watch your videos.. you have such a bright personality!!❤
I love that you got these cool experiences but what I love more is that you are reading the Throne of Glass series!!!
I love how unique the concept of this video is!Very entertaining and thanks for helping me plan where to visit next
you looked like you had so much fun doing this. Very enjoyable. and helps others to know if they want to add some of those destinations into their itinerary. Great job, amazing photos
Easily your best ever video! I've watched it twice so far. Really excellent work. Thank you to you and Tyler for taking us along on this adventure!
9:14 it’s like in H2O that mermaid show
im so glad i wasn't the only one who thought of this. i always wanted to find a place like this one day tbh, i was obssessed with h2O as a kid/teen 😭😭 honestly i still love it.
I laughed so hard at that "Tyler take a cool pic of me" 😅 You're such a good sport.
This is now one of my most favorite videos of yours !! So cool i love the realistic vs pintrest reality !! More like this 😍
You should do big Island, Hawaii!!!
This was a video i never knew i needed. Wow just wow!! The locations, the reality vs expectaion, the joy of some of those experiences! Just perfection Hope!! ❤
Aaaaahhhh I’m from the Yucatán peninsula, I’m so in awe you made a video of the beautiful attractions you can find in there. hope you had fun! 😊🎉 ps. You can find cenotes in the whole peninsula!!
Okay, I looooove seeing the Pinterest vs. reality stuff. Very fun!
I had an expectation x reality moment in Iceland where the place I wanted to see the most was, actually, illegal to get close to. 🤣 The guide said people are destroying the area going into the spot they shouldn't to get pictures. This video is sooo important to show that!
Totally saving this video for if I visit Mexico in the future! Thanks for giving us authentic reviews! The culture, food and people are always the best part of visiting any country! Every touristy place I've been to always has lines and waits as well.🤣It just comes with the territory. Love your travel vlogging style!
my parents are from mexico and with having the privilege to travel back in forth, if you were to want to visit special places, it is better to do it as early as possible! busy hours for any place will always be 12pm, 3pm and 6pm since they are mainly food or tourist hours ☺️!
I swam in a bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico and I feel like all the Pinterest pictures are doctored. It was GORGEOUS in real life but it’s more of a glittery glow than a straight up sparkle & seems incredibly difficult to actually capture on camera so I didn’t even try and just enjoyed it in real life :)
I loved this video so much!!! I love the fact you and Tyler just travel the world together making videos like this, it’s so wholesome!! Love you hope🫶🏻❤️
This is One of my favorite videos from ur account ❤❤❤...I'm about to turn 20 and haven't seen much of this world yet and seeing how beautiful it can be in a single video brought me so much hope in my future to visit the world as much as I can when I'm capable of doing so...
That museum that was 30 mins away in the jungle truly felt like something only seen in a movie or a fairytale. Also I just have to say I love the way you ended this video, I think that message was something that doesn’t get said enough.
you should totally make this a series and i love how you travel for us to see if it’s as real as it looks. 2,000 for a tree house is weird but for that treehouse is worth I think I’ve seen your photos reacting to them. These places are amazing please make more of these videos!❤
Natures beauty!❤
Do you really believe she did this for the followers?
I absolutely loved this video!!! Such a fantastic idea to visit all these places and give your honest review. I wish I could have a sit down conversation about the places as I’ve been to several of them ❤
Your content always inspires me so much! I always find myself watching your videos all the way until the end. I hope you'll be coming to VidSummit again this year because I would love to see you speak live
Its the last scene for me (aka your quotes).... live in the moment, meet new people & cherish every moment of it!
4:33 the bioluminescence only works at specific times
I am a kid, but I am I love your videos😊
My day always gets better when Hope posts!!
I'm glad to see you out in the world having experiences rather than just shopping
Yes u said it perfect
my days complete when hope posts
Apart from video... Girl, you are a GEM with a REAL smile and hope. Lots of love and power to you.
Isn’t she lovely? :)
Just come to San Diego we get the bioluminescent all the time, I’ll just go down to the beach and sit and watch at night you can see the dolphins swimming through the waves with blue lines behind them, and when the surfers are out it’s even cooler
I think your picture at the pink beach was a 10 outta 10, the other girls picture was a 4 outta 10!!! Keep doing all the amazing things you do and never stop being so sweet!!!llk
Sooo gorgeous thank you for taking us on this beautiful vacation and giving us a tour with you guys! So nice you are very thorough thank you again love it!🙏💯❤️😉🌞😎
Gonna be a lot of hot takes in this one.
I'd like to preface this by saying I like Hope and her channel, I watch everything she puts out and this is not directed at her but at an idea.
All these locations are really gorgeous, wild and clearly not yet trampled by mass tourism - I never knew how diverse just that one area of Mexico is. Makes me want to go there, I've never really even considered it before, so I guess I'm glad Pinterest took you down this route lol
But… the heavy emphasis on getting "the shot" for socials is such a turn off to me. I mean, obviously, commemorate your vacations as you wish, it's your money and time (and in Hope's case - business)! But hot take… going to a unique place to reproduce an exact photo or experience someone else took or had for a social media post that amounts to "I did this too" (while breakings local rules and laws to do so)? Why? So what? The internet is now full of photos of different people in those same positions at the same angles in the same places at the same times. It's like those cardboard cutouts at county fairs where you stick your head in the hole where the face goes. Why not take photos at new angles and of things around the "the shot" (the people, the culture, the animals, the mundane details)? These shots are often way more poignant and can end up carrying more emotional value because they're totally unique to you, your trip and especially your mind's eye. *Those* shots contribute to our shared understanding of each other, not the ones that parrot some influencer over and over. I say all this because I genuinely fear we’ll eventually lose our unique selves in the noise that is social media if we feel like we *must* replicate someone in order to leave a mark.
i visited cancun a couple of years ago and i loved it! the people and the history were definitely the highlight for me, everyone is so nice and friendly there
So excited for this video your so beautiful hope!!!!! ❤️
