Well, there's an area it's called the Forgotten Coast. Are you guys familiar with this area? Okay, so right in here you can see Apalachicola to Port St. Joe up to Mexico Beach I've been here recently, but they have these islands right here like Cape San Blas You can see beautiful white sand beaches and not a lot of people they have these little islands all around here Even Cape St. George this area right here is known as the Forgotten Coast So I wouldn't say you want to be right up here on the panhandle next to Apalachicola But you want to be out on one of these Cape Islands like Dog Island or st George Island or Cape San Blas so I'm recommending the panhandle They have some other areas up nor to the east or to the west of Panama City like Seaside Miramar Beach in between Destin and Panama City Beach But really that whole area around the Forgotten Coast you're gonna get seclusion Which I know a lot of you guys are actually looking for.

Thomas. You can go to st. Croix if you want it even more relaxed. So I would say the Caribbean Secluded destination is going to be the st. Thomas st. Croix st. John. You can definitely get some seclusion out there There's gonna be some people but it's it's good enough to get really relaxed by the time you come back I'm gonna go one more place in the United States and we're gonna go all the way out to Hawaii now There's all these other popular islands.

It's like a water park out there next place. I want to talk about is in the Mediterranean So see all these islands I talked about it last time But I don't think you guys fully understand how amazing the Greek islands are right here in the Aegean Sea But one island that I really want to zero in on. Okay, this little area you can see Santorini Everyone goes to Santorini, but there's this island right here. This is where Homer's tomb is It's called Eos like iOS on your phone Eos. That's how they say it But this area right here, you can get some real nice beaches You can go around to the other side of the island too and you can see it's really just Beautiful. It's gorgeous I mean it's surrounded by the Aegean Sea really small and you can get around it and have so many different beaches and some of These but beaches you'll go to you'll be the only person on the beach just chilling out Relaxing or you can go to the other side of the island like Koh Amparo right here where they're gonna have some beach clubs But even then that's still very secluded beach clubs that are like high-end very fancy stuff So the next one that we're gonna talk about Is we're gonna head back over towards the u.s. And we're gonna head to Mexico. So in Mexico They have an area in the Baja right here this area right here known as La Paz a Very popular place is right here in this little area Playa Balandra and you could see right here There's a couple different beaches. They actually call this the best beach in Mexico some people who've been the people who've been there It's like a paradise right here Playa Balandra. So add that to your list. There's Playa Bonita But if you even go over here to Tecolote or Tecolote Playa Escondida lots of seclusion out here on the Baja and there's a couple islands out here like Isla Espirito Santo very cool beach and I'm not just saying that look at this place I mean if you guys even go on to this Google Maps and you just type it in right here I mean, these are like island paradises. Okay right here Bahia de San Gabriel. This is an island right off the Baja That's in La Paz. You can get a flight down there to La Paz. It's north of Cabo San Lucas. Everyone goes to Cabo San Lucas Yeah, they've got a few beaches around Cabo where you can get some peace and quiet but that area around La Paz right here by Isla Espirito, that's where you want to go if you want peace and quiet You could also add Laredo to that list, which we were just talking about the other day Laredo's got some peace and quiet around these islands The thing is you want to get closer to the islands in the Baja in the Gulf of California That's the Sea of Cortez right there. That's where the paradise is. If you go to the other side over here. It's really cooking hot It's not as great. It's the Pacific Ocean side but the cool thing about this area is this is this is the birthing lagoons for the Gray whales so you can have some of the most incredible Interactions with gray whales right here in Puerto Magdalena Isla Santa Margarita, they actually have four different lagoons where the cap where they rear the calves at and They say right in these areas in these lagoons where the gray whales go You don't watch the whales the whales watch you like they come right up next to you and they like look you I and I That's those videos you see on Instagram and Facebook going viral where people are getting right next to those whales They're on the Pacific Coast like by Elvis Cajino and Baja, California del Sur So I know that's important for some people who are in the wildlife to get all the good stuff. What's up Titus? How's it going, man? Good to see you And then so we're gonna pull back out here and now we're gonna go south into Costa Rica Costa Rica is a really popular place But it's got beaches after beaches after beaches My favorite area that I'm gonna recommend to you for peace and quiet is this southern part of Nicoya Peninsula right here This is called Nicoya. You can see Gulf of Nicoya right here. Some people call it Punta Reina's Put the Reina's is right here, but the Gulf of Nicoya right here and Nicoya Peninsula they got more centurions living out there than anywhere else in the world aside from like Greece and Okinawa so people who live out here they live to be like a hundred years old It's something in the air out there in Nicoya But even if you go further south, there's a couple of beach areas down here by a Corcovado But if you go north the Corcovado where all the animals are, that's where the animal wildlife is They don't have very many beaches. It's it's just overrun by like trees and vegetation but down here they have Uvita in Dominical and this whole little area right here. You can get like your own Beach area no problem. I mean, it's not very populated. They call it Balena. Balena is whale again Another one of those areas where they're gonna have whales just kind of hanging out on the coast. They call it the whale tail this is actually called National Marina Balena because they say if you look at it up close it looks like a whale's tail because what happens is when the tide goes out this little area and then they have the Rocks right here and you can actually walk out there at sunset and they have some You know waterfalls and everything. I'll actually show you a little bit about that area This area right here is that Uvita Marina Balena that I was telling you guys about Thank you to everyone who's already hit the likes and help them get this video out there So the next place I want to tell you guys about is going to be Africa Zanzibar, so you can get a really great experience. I think we talked about it in the last video I don't know if you guys tuned in but I was telling you guys about the area around Tanzania so Tanzania has this area called Zanzibar and Zanzibar is where everyone's trying to get to for these beautiful waters This beautiful experience. It's an island off Tanzania right here, but you can see all up and down here just Beautiful beaches. It's green friendly people Right here Zanzibar add it to your list, but you can see there's the ocean all up and down here There's not a lot of people. It's not overcrowded. It's not over tourists That's what's happened to a lot of the main beaches out in the world So many tourists have gone to these places when you go there. It's not even relaxing It's like stressful because there's so many people at these destinations Brandon says hey Jeff. What is your favorite non-tourist Beach in Florida? Well, actually, I don't know if you were watching the beginning of the video here but we did talk about the area around it's called the Forgotten Coast and why do you think they call it the Forgotten Coast because It seems like everywhere else in Florida gets attention except for this little place, but it's basically the Cape Sandblast St. George Island Indian Pass. It's a place to get relaxation. I'm not gonna say it's the absolute favorite I love the Keys who doesn't love the Keys, but they have these really nice islands right here These capes and the beaches are awesome. The water is warm, especially in the summertime and this area around Apalachicola so right here Port st. Joe this whole area Dog Island You want to get out to these islands you can see you they have a bridge that'll take you out there St. Joe st. George Island is the name of the one that I really like but I'm dropping that information for you I might even make a full video because I have a full I've filmed a full travel guide of that area that I actually never Published so you guys can tell me which ones your favorite Secluded beaches, but this is really my list that I've really dialed in here For the for the top secluded places. I didn't want to go all across the board and give you too much information But if you guys want some peace and quiet You can also find that out in the South China Sea the Philippine Sea Philippines has I think over 7,000 islands Indonesia has a lot of islands Philippines is a little bit easier to get around. I found Then Indonesia Indonesia is really nice. Also, I mean they got Sulawesi. They also have some of the best Snorkeling and diving you can find in but they have Banda Ark right here. Let's see. What was that one? There's there's really amazing diving around this whole area right here and Maluku see Yeah, it's just fantastic in that whole Banda area right there that's that's Banda Ark So if you guys are looking for really great diving check out that area around Indonesia, it'll blow your mind They have Raja Ampat down there. Let's see if I can find Raja Ampat. Oh Man, that's a hard one to find Raja Ampat. Anyway, you guys gotta look it up our AJ a on pot It's like a secret place I mean it's a place where there's so much wildlife in the water that you're swimming with manta rays and sharks and big fish and maybe even Occasional whale shark all right there in this area. It's it's really close to West Papua, which is Uri and Jaya the old name Uri and Jaya. This is where they have a lot of Mines, there was a lot of big mining Freeport MacMoran right here. You can see Sulawesi right here This is this is like tough territory But that's where you want to go, but I like Philippines because they got around 7,000 islands Palawan lots of beaches there, but some of the beaches that I like her in this little area right around here Okay, this is north of Mindanao they got behold and then they have a couple of a little island down here like sequoia and they also have Pong Lao I went to pong Lao we put a video on there and I really like that one It Chimay says do you have a video that follows the old route 66? No, I don't I That there's basically US Highway, what is it 80? She's talking about this right here. So this is the old route 66 right here now. It's Essentially a highway 40 it goes through Winslow, Arizona, you know standing on the corner and Winslow, Arizona But such a fine sight to see it connects all the way to Williams like if you go from Winslow to Williams you'll see Route 66 it's kind of like some some of route 40 is Mixed in with hot route 66 and Arizona's actually got the famous part of route 66, you know but I would say most of the famous stuff probably happens from the Colorado over to It probably extends a little bit into New Mexico around Gallup, I think Gallup's out there, but other than that, I mean, there's not much else to see I mean, I know the closer you get to Texas. It's kind of like what is there to see in, Texas? Is that for I don't know. I mean Texas, you know how that is. But anyway guys, thanks for watching Thanks for crushing up the likes drop a comment Let me know what kind of live streams you guys want to engage with.

This is the stuff that I actually Travel with I don't travel with all of it every time. It's a lot of items actually I'm like, how did I fit all that in my suitcase? But I think I do so I use a hardshell suitcase I could probably dial this whole video in on what exactly that I use and wear When I'm out there, but you can see I really like the brand called Osprey for backpacks And I like Vanguard for suitcases. I go with Samsonite hardshells. That's just my personal preference Some people use Swiss gear I've used Swiss gear But I stick with Osprey for my backpacks or Vanguard for my travel bags. I go with Apple Mac for Computers I use DJI products for my cameras and I use one GoPro. Although GoPro needs to get it together Then I just put some of like the watches I can like I said, I can make a more detailed video about this I use these flip-flops from Ola Kai. I love that brand. I always take a good pair of Nikes for off off-roading Walking off-road and then just some of the things you need for getting around In the country I can make a more detailed video and in that it's up Salvador and So, let me know if you guys want what kind of videos more beaches more islands more travel tips What it is you guys are looking for before I get out there and start traveling again I won't be doing these lives as much so we'll see you guys on the next one
