Transcript

These are some places that you should go to before they blow up on social media. First one being Ometepe Island in Nicaragua, which feels like it's straight out of a movie. Just imagine an island in the middle of a lake with a volcano on each side of the island. And then you can just like run a scooter here, drive around. They got different beaches, I mean, it's not like real beaches, it's like lake beaches, but honestly, they're still good. And just overall an amazing vibe on this island. And you could definitely see that it's gonna get to that point where a bunch of people are gonna start coming here. So it's better go there before that happens. The next one is Hiriketiya in Sri Lanka, which you could tell that in about five years, this place is gonna be the next Bali, it's gonna be the next Thailand. There's already so much construction going on. So you gotta get here before like all this is built up, so you get like the most authentic like Sri Lanka experience. But honestly, beautiful place, great for surfing if that's what you're into, great food, amazing people, and just overall really good vibes here in Hiriketiya. This isn't really a specific place, but I'm talking about Laos. Laos is amazing. It is I feel like it's what Thailand used to be, and it's bound to like get Thailand, Vietnam and all that. So definitely get here before all that happens because this is one of my favorite countries in Southeast Asia and it's honestly an amazing time. The people here are so sweet. And yeah, just gotta get here before it just gets overran by tourism. It's amazing. It offers everything that Thailand offers, except the beaches. But it's just feels a lot more authentic. But you know, being part of like the backpacking around Southeast Asia, it's bound to like get Thailand, Vietnam and all that. So definitely get here before all that happens because this is one of my favorite countries in Southeast Asia and it's honestly an amazing time. The people here are so sweet. And yeah, just gotta get here before it just gets overran by tourism.
