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

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

as the Amazon the Amazon is the largest tropical rainforest in the world with 2.7 million
square miles also the Amazon River is the second largest river in the world and it is known for its
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
