almost all countries finally open for

tourism 2023 is the year of travel

whether you explore the fjords of Norway

or witness the wonders of Patagonia I

hope that in 2023 you can safely travel

to some new places in our beautiful

world let's start this video off at the

Portuguese island of Madeira located in

Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa

Madeira is often called the Hawaii

Europe and after visiting it I totally

understand why the island was born of

volcanic Origins and if you love hiking

or just relaxing on the beach Madeira is

the place for you Punta du Sol was my

favorite place for swimming there was no

sand just smooth Boulders but the ocean

was amazing to swim in and there was a

place to go cliff jumping my favorite

place on Madeira is pico de arriero it's

one of the tallest points on the island

and since you're so high up you'll often

be in or above the clouds now the hiking

there is exquisite the trails are so

well maintained you get some of the most

phenomenal views and you don't even need

to hike that far I was blown away by the

dramatic Peaks and unique reddish and

orange colors of the rock there's this

one peat called Pico dugato that was my

favorite I mean if you're up for

adventure in 2023 You Gotta Give Madeira

a visit after we're gonna head up to

Western Norway I Was Here recently and I

was just blown away by the beauty of

this country I really like Western

Norway in particular because it's home

to majority of Norway's fjords and the

Landscapes there are just on another

level one of Norway's most well-known

fjords is gear ringer Fjord you can get

there by driving about five or six hours

from Oslo now the Fjord is massive and

one of its most well-known features is

the Seven Sisters waterfall that

Cascades 410 meters to the water below

now one of my favorite features in the

Fjord is skagaflop it's this historic

Mountain Farm perch on a cliff now to

get there you need to take a ferry and

then you hike up now the views up there

are just breathtaking and the grassroof

cabins look like something out of a

fairy tale another one of my favorite

places in Western Norway is luvatne it's

located just a few hours away from gear

ringer this is Glacier lake with the

distinct turquoise water I mean such a

stunning color and the scenery around

the lake is unbelievable there are

mountains and waterfalls everywhere you

look Norway truly is a special country

and I hope you can visit this year after

we're gonna head down to Africa to visit

the country of Namibia located on the

Atlantic coast above South Africa now

when people think in Namibia the Namib

Desert probably comes to mind it's full

of massive orange sand dunes and those

orc Antelope now one of my favorite

places in the Namib Desert is deadly

with this claypan surrounded by Massive

dunes and what makes it so unique is

that there's these trees that died 600

years ago because water stopped coming

into the area and they are frozen in

time now another one of my favorite

places in Namibia is the Spitz cope is

this Granite Mountain that reaches

1728 meters above sea level and has been

called the Matterhorn of Namibia if you

want to see some African Wildlife the

atosha National Park is a wonderful

place to see animals such as lion

giraffes and elephants and another cool

fact about Namibia is that Tom to more

cheaters than anywhere else in the world

anyways Namibia is such a spectacular

country I hope you can visit now while

we're still in Africa we're gonna head

to the islands of the Seychelles now

located in the Indian Ocean off the

coast of East Africa the seashells are

an archipelago made up of 115 islands

and are home to some of the world's most

famous beaches now when you find the

seashells you'll probably come to the

island of Mahi it's the biggest island

in the archipelago and also home to

Victoria which is the Island's capital

now there's a lot to do and see on Mahi

and it's also a great place to venture

off to the other Islands one of the most

famous places in all the Seychelles is

the beach called ante Source de Arjun

it's located on the island which you can

reach by taking a ferry from the

neighboring Islands it's often rated as

one of the world's most beautiful

beaches and I totally understand why it

has these massive Granite Boulders that

create in other worldly landscape now

afterwards we're gonna head over to

South America to visit Patagonia located

in both bottom halves of Chile and

Argentina Patagonia is easily one of the

most beautiful regions in the world it

has fjords like Norway sounds like New

Zealand and the mountains are comparable

to the Alps now one of the most famous

places in Patagonia is Torres Del Paine

is located on the Chilean side Torres

Del Paine is a national park home to

animals such as squinacos and pumas and

it's named after its iconic three

Granite Towers another one of the most

well-known places in Patagonia is

Fitzroy it's this Mountain Range located

on the Argentinian side I think it's

possibly one of the most beautiful

mountains in the world there's several

grocery lakes and viewpoints tomorrow

this mountain range from I mean the area

is just spectacular afterwards we're

going to visit the Emerald Isle of

Ireland I went here for the first time

this summer and it quickly became one of

my all-time favorite countries it's a

land full of magical Landscapes dramatic

coastlines and enchanting history one of

the main reasons I want to go to Ireland

was to visit the great Skellig Island

you may recognize it as Luke Skywalker's

hideout in the Star Wars movies it's

famous for being a monastic settlement

that house monks in these beehive-shaped

Huts until the 13th century now the

island really is something else you can

only reach it by taking a bow over a

rough sea now when we got the island I

just loved walking up the 618 steps to

the monastery it's easily one of the

most impressive places I've ever been

now another amazing Spa in Ireland is

the Cliffs of more they're probably

Ireland's most recognizable destination

with Cliffs that rise over 214 meters

above the sea I just loved walking along

the cliffs and modeling at the beauty

Ireland is such an amazing country

afterwards we're gonna head over to

France to visit the French Riviera also

known as the Cote de Azure the French

Riviera is one of the most highly sought

after destinations in Europe it's

located in southern France on the

Mediterranean Sea one of my favorite

places on the Riviera is as it's this

medieval Hilltop Village that was

founded around the 14th tree when you

walk through the village you'll feel

like you're going back in time I loved

all the Cobblestone paths that winded

through as now while you're there you

can hike to the top and reach the Exotic

Garden that not only has beautiful

plants but an amazing view of the

Riviera another one of my favorite towns

on the French Riviera is San Tropez it's

renowned for its beaches nightlife and

luxurious lifestyle I really enjoy just

walking around the town just Marlin has

Beauty now if you're into more nature I

recommend you check out the kalanks near

Cassis they offer some of France's best

scenery with Incredible sea coves

surrounded by daunting Cliffs the one I

really wanted to go to is called kalank

de Ambu now you can only access it by

hiking or taking a kayak in when I reach

the beach I was just amazed by the Steep

White Cliffs coupled with the greens of

the Pines and blues of the water we went

for a swim and the water Clarity was

amazing I wanted to find a Clifton spot

and after swimming Down The Cove I found

this little rock about seven meters high

and sent a few jumps off it I mean

there's truly no better feeling than

cliff jobbing in the Mediterranean

afterwards we're going to head over to

Italy to visit Tuscany located in

central Italy Tuscany is known for its

Landscapes history and artistic Legacy

I've been obsessed with Tuscany ever

since I've seen the Gladiator now one of

my favorite places there is sen to

mijano it's his Hilltop Talent famous

for its watchtowers and Incredibly

preserved medieval features now if you

want to see some of Tuscany's

Countryside you can visit valdorta when

you think of Tuscany this is what you'll

probably imagine Lush Rolling Hills

perfectly aligned cypress trees and

picturesque Hilltop towns this is easily

one of the most scenic parts of the

region now the City of Florence is the

crowning feature of Tuscany it's

considered to be the birthplace of the

Renaissance and the history there is

endless whether you walk across the

Ponte Vecchio Bridge or Marvel at the

architecture of the Duomo Florence is

sure to take you back in time afterwards

we're going to head over to the country

of New Zealand now after seeing movies

like Lord of the Rings I think it's safe

to say we all want to visit New Zealand

one day now new is made up of 700

Islands but the two major ones are the

North and South if you're down for more

Adventure and crazy Landscapes I'd say

the south island is where it's at it's

home to the Southern Alps where Mount

Cook is located it's the tallest

mountain in New Zealand and stands over

12 218 feet high another curl spot is

the Milford Sound described as the

Eighth Wonder of the real the Milford

Sound is a fjord that was carved out by

glaciers during the Ice Age it's one of

the wettest places in the world and the

whole area is just full of a rainforest

and magical waterfalls New Zealand

opened up back in 2022 for travel so

hope you guys can leave it a visit this

year now for our final destination we're

gonna head over to Asia to visit Japan

also known as The Land of the Rising Sun

I have to say Japan is one of the places

I want to visit most this year Japan was

one of the last countries to open up for

tourism but this recent September it

finally eased restrictions making it the

perfect place to visit in 2023 from the

snow colored Northern island of Sapporo

to the Japan Japanese Alps this little

island country has so much to offer now

when you get to Japan you can visit

Tokyo it's the largest city in the world

with a population over 37 million from

Tokyo you can Venture about an hour and

a half outside to visit Mount Fuji the

active volcano is the tallest peak in

Japan with a height of 12 388 feet it's

a perfect cone shape and acts as a

sacred symbol for the country a great

place to view Mount Fuji from is Lake

kawaguchi you can get a wonderful view

of the Little Canada from there and

overall it's just a beautiful area

nearby is the Charrito Pagoda which

offers one of the most incredible views

of the Sacred volcano
