way guys I want to remind you that if you check   the links below we do have specific travel guides 
for some of these destinations so don't forget to   check the description below now we're headed to 
Colombia to guatape pinol now this large rock is   very interesting because you can actually walk 
up the sides of the cliff and then get a view   of the lake and the surrounding area around 
guatape it's a very identic type environment the   best way to get to guatape is a tour bus that goes 
from Medellin all the way over here it does take   around an hour and a half to get here but like 
I said it is worth it now we're headed to White   Sands New Mexico here you will see the silica 
type white sand that you can walk across or even   sandboard Glide along this beautiful soft sand 
right out here in the middle of the desert now   we're actually headed back out to Hawaii to Hawaii

the region there's Mauna Loa which is considered   the largest active volcano and then Kilauea 
considered the most active volcano in the world   and it's not always running with lava but when it 
is it is Raging so if you get a chance to check   out this lava flow do so there are many hikes 
that you can do while on this area of the big   island so do some research before exploring next 
up we're headed to another volcano Caldera this   one's called Santorini The Honeymooners Paradise

around Paris you realize this is a very eclectic   and artistic City with other places such as Moulin 
Rouge home to the can-can dance as well as Mason   Rose Cafe and even the largest shopping mall in 
the world galleries of Lafayette I recommend at   least four days in Paris next up we're headed to 
the Dead Sea now the Dead Sea borders with Jordan   and Israel and while here you can do a mud bath or 
a salt bath which is interesting because when you   get in the water you actually float because of all 
the salt and the buoyancy in the water there are   no fish or animals that live in the lake or around 
the lake it is basically a Salt Pond you can see   here's the mud bath and once you get the mud then 
you go in the water and wash it off it's also the   lowest point on planet Earth and now we're headed 
back out to Hawaii to Kauai actually Nepali Coast   right here is on the western edge of Hawaii where 
you'll find a lush rainforest and dramatic Sea   Cliffs as well as Waimea Canyon Hanalei Bay and 
some of the most dramatic scenery you will find   in terms of landscape anywhere in the world if you

incredible biodiversity and yes we are headed back   to Italy this time we're on the Amalfi Coast home 
to Positano as well as the island of Capri it is a   tourist destination known for its stunning beaches 
beautiful towns as well as amazing beaches the   architecture of the towns actually dates back 
to the 9th century so it's a very old area to   explore right along the Mediterranean Sea here if 
you get a chance try and do the drive either on a   moped or a very small car because the roads are 
windy and skinny now we're headed to the Yucatan   Peninsula in Mexico known as the Riviera Maya this 
area is in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo.

In order to arrive here you would most likely arrive 
in Cancun or Cozumel by airplane and then you will   explore Playa Del Carmen and my favorite place to 
loom as well as several of the Mayan ruins like   Chichen Itza and the archipological site of Tulum 
right there on the beach I recommend seven days   in Riviera Maya now we're headed to Arizona this 
time we're in the Grand Canyon the largest canyon   in the world carved out by the Colorado River at 
the bottom of the Grand Canyon you will find a   majestic area known as Havasupai Falls and it is 
a long Havasu Creek you can hike to the bottom and   up in one day they say or some people actually 
do rim to rim that south rim to North Rim this   time we're headed to Maya Bay located in the Phi Phi 
islands in the Andaman sea of Thailand now this   area here is considered by many to be the most 
beautiful beach in the world and it is currently   undergoing repair so you can't really swim here 
as much as we would like to you can either arrive   here by tour boat from Krabi or Phuket or you can 
actually stay in the phi phi Island at tonsai beach   so you can actually get here much quicker next up 
we're headed to Guatemala to a lake surrounded by   volcanoes known as Lake attitlan this freshwater 
lake is surrounded by three dormant volcanoes and   many different Mayan Villages the region truly 
is a paradise and popular with people who like   to do Retreats for yoga or just kicking back and 
relaxing you will find a strong presence of Mayan   culture that you should explore and appreciate 
while here it also has lush green vegetation on   the hillsides you can do some hiking and kayaking 
while here although the waves in the later part   of the afternoon get very rough and now for those 
of you who enjoy deep sea diving or just getting   in the water and seeing incredible underwater 
places Red Sea right here that intersects with   Saudi Arabia Egypt Jordan and Israel so you can 
do some incredible diving here as you can see it   is an underwater Disneyland my favorite place on 
the Red Sea is charmel Chic but you can also stay   at her get up both are in Egypt but you could 
easily spend a week or two here exploring all   the dive sites and another place that you must go 
is the whole country of Thailand.

Thailand is so   diverse in the north you have Chiang Mai and 
Chiang Rai with the Golden Triangle and many   Buddhist temples if you go towards the middle you 
have one of the most popular cities in the world   with tourists Bangkok then as you go south you 
have Phuket you have the Phi Phi islands you also   have Krabi and there's so much to see along the 
Malaysian Peninsula as well along with the many   temples there's also floating Market it and great 
nightlife but I really enjoy the culture and the   people now we're headed to one of the Premier 
cities in the world this one is Dubai and the   reason we put this on the list is because it's a 
very futuristic city they have the Museum of the   future home to the world's tallest building Burj 
Khalifa they also have some impressive projects   where they're building Islands largest ferris 
wheel in the world Lots going on in Dubai and   I would say it is worth at least checking out 
although you could easily stay several weeks in   Dubai I'm going to recommend 72 to 96 hours 
if it's your very first time just to get a   feel for the city try to avoid the summer months 
June July and August because it's extremely hot   now we're headed to the Big Apple out here in New 
York and definitely one of the Premier cities in   all of the world just like Dubai if you've not 
been to the Big Apple I would highly recommend   getting over there at least once checking out 
Manhattan Times Square all of those areas that   you know so well and yes New York City is a true 
gem for NYC I would recommend around three to four   days just exploring if it's your very first 
time all right guys that's going to conclude   this list of 50 best travel destinations around 
the world we could do a part two with another 50   if you would like including places like Raja Ampat, the islands of Palau we could also include   Vietnam and so much more Cape Town South Africa
