Revisiting Countries I've Been Playing Geography Guessing Game

Today, I'm going to be doing something completely different to anything I've ever done on this channel. I've got a trip coming up soon, but in the meantime, I'm going to be playing GeoGuessr and guessing random locations around the world from videos that I've done in the past. If you don't know what GeoGuessr is, GeoGuessr is a game where you're basically dropped in random locations all around the world with street view, like you see on Google Maps, and then you have to guess the closest coordinates to where that street view is that you're viewing. And the closer you are, then the higher your score. I've partnered with GeoGuessr to make this video. They've gone through my videos and they've found lots of locations from my videos, and I have to guess the closest coordinates by putting a pin on the world map. I think it's going to be a lot of fun, it's going to be a trip down memory lane. If you've been following the channel for a long time, it might bring back some memories from this almost 10-year journey on YouTube so far, so a bit of nostalgia there. I've never played this map before. This is the first time I'm playing it, so it's going to be quite interesting, I think. I'm sure it's going to bring back some colorful memories. Okay, so first, this is definitely Africa. I know where we are. This is Ghana, this is Accra, the capital. This is an area where they have markets selling old mobile phones and electronics and everything. We've come to this place where people look through the dump sites here and they recycle. There are also people living here in these slum areas. They're burning down things like plastic cables to get to the copper wire inside of it, and then they'll sell that. It's speechless in terms of the scene here. Is it alcohol? Yes. Okay. Just a little bit. This is a pure organic local medicine. Yeah, right. One shot. A little bit of alcohol, it's pure alcohol. So, we pull up the map here. And we zoom in. Let's go down to Ghana here, Accra. So, let's see how close we can get. I mean, it was a while ago, so to try and remember... I'm going to drop the pen. Let's chuck it here, see how we go. 6.2 Ks, not too bad. Could have done a bit better. All right, let's see the next location. No way, this is so cool. I know where we are again here. We're in Buenos Aires, in Argentina, capital again. And these locations are so cool. You guys can actually play this map, the Indigo Traveller map. I'll leave the link in the description. Let's pull up the map. All right, so, Buenos Aires. That was in a neighborhood. It has one of the most notorious reputations in Argentina. So, we've come to this area where we're under a huge highway that goes through this neighborhood. Some of the houses are like built there. The highway is inside a room there. So, we're going into some of the more dangerous areas now. Apparently, it's best to bike through these areas so you can get away quickly if anything happens. What's the tattoo on your head represent? These guys all sitting in the gutter here are doing something called Paco. Drugs make him forget about any troubles. The Bomberos. We're here with Javier, who's a local fireman here. And here's the local fire station. And it's actually just two shipping containers stacked on top of each other. All right, so, let's try and find it on this map here. It'll be downtown. Put it around here, see how close we are. 4.6 Ks. Not too bad, but I think we can do better than that. Okay, this one looks a bit harder. Middle of the countryside. This is like going way back. I think this is the Baltics. I think this is like Latvia or something. But like finding the exact location... This is like really old videos of mine. I'm just going to chuck a random guess. Could be Poland actually, but let's see. 100 kilometers. I mean, I'll take that from a random photo in the middle of nowhere. Okay, so it was just inside Lithuania. Not bad. Just crossed the border of Latvia into Lithuania. So, that's country one of four done. So, that's really good news. And this is kind of like the countryside of Lithuania and Latvia. Beautiful meadows spread all around. This is... I think this is... Wait, I know. I know where this is. It's got to be Chile. That was... This is a lot of fun. In the south of Chile, I went up and climbing in the mountains with a friend. I'm just going to chuck it in here, see how we go. 125 kilometers, I'll take that. All right, where we got now? This has got to be Nigeria. Nigeria, one of my favorite series that I've made. Africa's most populous country. Known for kidnapping, for ransom. What's the price? The price of this one is $1,000. A city in chaos. Don't have words. Demoralizing. I think this is Makoko, this map here. So, let's try and pull it up. Back down here. All right, let's go down to Lagos. There's the third mainland bridge which goes over Makoko. So, this is the toilet here. When they go to the toilet, it just falls through to the water. The canal from land links to this place. Sewage? Yes. Crazy driver. This fish is caught from the water here. Your bed is here. Yes, that's my bed. Got a nice view, eh? I used to play this when I was younger. There's people partying everywhere. Nightclubs all along the beach here. So, you don't go to the gym? No, I don't go to the gym. So, this is the local bar. But maybe if you have a few too many drinks, that you might fall into the sewage water here. We were just coming through the canals here and we crashed into a young boy on a boat. And the boy fell into the water here. So, how to hang this here? Because of rats. Beautiful trip there. Thank you guys so much for all your donations for the orphanage. We ended up actually building an orphanage here. I've been updating via the Instagram, but if you haven't been following that and you did donate, here are some clips of the orphanage and everything. It's really beautiful and I'm so grateful to you guys. And still, every day, we check. I'm in the WhatsApp groups. We're feeding the kids every single day. Dear Nick, Inigo Traveler, and all your followers, we want to express our heartfelt appreciation for your generous support of our food efforts. Your kindness makes a real difference and we are truly grateful. May blessings continue to flow your way. What do you say? Thank you, God. Amen. It's got to be around here somewhere. Let's go here. Oh, that's in Kano in northern Nigeria. Okay. Well, completely wrong. 832 kilometers. Still in the right country though. I would have sworn that was Lagos, but Kano in the northern Nigeria, that was a wild trip. Absolutely insane. And then we just see these guys getting chased by men with swords and like wooden sticks with circular saw blades on them. And what do these kidnappers want? Look at how tight this is. Is there quite a lot of drug use in Kano? Yeah. Cough syrup. If you charge, you give me $20. Okay. Burning the rubber off the copper wire so he can sell the copper, so he can afford food. There's military planes doing circles around this area. This is like my first ever series. I mean, this is going way, way back. This is Vietnam. That was my first ever series motorbiked. Absolutely shocking footage. My first ever videos. Built the YouTube channel on it, so definitely nostalgic. There's Hanoi, so obviously north near the Chinese border. This is in 2016. I turned up at this place absolutely soaking wet in monsoon season because, you know, I was so smart not to check what the season was and decided to motorbike the length of Vietnam. Hustle, I have a hustle. I have a hustle. It's in Chiba Tower. Okay, how much does it cost? Just $200,000. I'll see you, okay? Okay. I didn't have a shower. Power's off in the whole of this town. There's no hot water, no internet. I bought that motorbike for like $300, and I sold it for like $120 because it was like half fallen apart. I'm just going to throw a guess around somewhere up here. 62Ks. Okay, what do we got here? That is Beirut, Lebanon. I'll recognize that mosque anywhere. Over to Lebanon, Beirut. Chuck it here, see how we go. 175 meters. Okay, I'll take that. That's my best score so far. What's next? Okay. Oh no. Is this... Jaipur? This could be India, I think. Is it? You can move along in the map as well if you want. All right, let's go to India. This is going back. This is like old, old, old trips, but it's so much fun to reminisce. Good friend. He knows. Nice man. Yeah, man. So, where are we going now? We're going now to the water palace. Water palace. Is it beautiful? It's beautiful. All right. Yes, the water and the palace, okay? Awesome. Thanks, man. Welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. Thank you. My tuk-tuk driver just turned around, and he wants to drive through the arch, and he wants me to film it. So, such a cool tuk-tuk. So, that palace out there, he was calling it the water palace. That's my virtual driver. I'm not sure if that's its official name, but it's beautiful nevertheless. All right, Jaipur. Okay. It's got to be here. It's got to be. It's got to be about here, right? 75 meters. There we go. We're starting to get the hang of it here now. 75 meters. Okay, I know exactly where this is. This is Mongolia. Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia. That was a good trip. That was a year ago. Yeah. I did get very sick though. I had to... Very sick. The traffic here is something else. That was going to be a five-kilometer drive. It's going to take two to three hours. It almost looks like you could be in Latin America. Brazil, you've got the favelas on the hillside. There's dog attacks here? Yeah, very often. And... Big dog. What's cooking here for lunch? Milk, tea, and a little bit of rice. Sheep tail. Local toilet here. These people do not have any form of heating apart from fire. They don't have running water. Do you think the government's handling the economy and the standard of living of its citizens well? They're failing 100%. Soviets taking down Nazi Germany here. High, high levels of pollution. Many, many times over the safe limit. The fetuses can actually get severely impacted. Children can often come out with behavioral and cognitive issues. So, that's a bear over there. So, this is a bear. Because he's a shaman, a spirit enters into his body. The spirit asks to, you know, like, feed it with sometimes, you know, like, some milk, maybe with some vodka. Let's go to Ulaanbaatar. Where are you? There you are. Let's zoom in. So, there's the national... It's got to be here, doesn't it? Let's try and get really close to this one. That's the parliament. We're on this side of that. 19 meters. All right, here we go. Look at that. Here we go. This is great. This is also Beirut. This is absolutely Beirut. Beautiful view there. That was a heavy trip, definitely. I know Lebanon's an even more dire straits, desperate situation now, but it was also very desperate then. Let's go back to Beirut. Get back to Beirut we go. I went just after the port explosion. So, definitely brutal. Here we are. Geneva Airport, Switzerland. About to get on a plane, head to Lebanon, Beirut. Let's go. Felt by millions in Lebanon. This is a national disaster for Lebanon. Just after 6 p.m. local time on Tuesday, the 4th of August, an explosion ripped through Beirut's port. We've come down to the port area. You can see behind me the absolute mess. That's the exact point of the explosion site there. You can see the silos on the left there. Silos had six months supply of food in them, destroyed wheat and grains and things in a country where supplies were already so low. You can see the impact on the Beirut port silos building before and after the explosion. Caught in the middle of something quite insane, to be honest. Out of nowhere, everybody just started firing guns. That's a really good representation of Lebanon as a whole that the people are so strong and resilient and they're fighting back so hard. You know, they just get straight back up. Even with glass in their back, they're still coming to work and fighting, right? This is how we survive in this country. Our only code is to support each other, to enforce each other and to survive every single day. This is our mission as human beings, to stand for human beings that are oppressed in calamities and try to relieve them and release as much stress they've got as possible. This is our mission, with your help and with your support. Together we can save lives, together we stand for each other. Beautiful. I'm going to chuck it like around here somewhere. 1.5 Ks, pretty good. All right, I think I know... This is... I know where this is. This is great, like this is... This really shows me how fortunate I am to have visited all these amazing places. Let's get on with the day, take it easy, acclimatize and see what Cusco has to offer. So, as you can see, epic views there. It's pretty tiring, seeing as we just flew in straight to this altitude. Normally, you should acclimatize. If you guys want to play this exact version with many different locations from my videos over the years, you can jump on and play. This is Cusco in Peru. Let's head down to Peru. We're bouncing from corner to corner of the globe, right? Where is Cusco, geographically? There, up in the mountains, right? All right, so let's get into Cusco. Going to be in the old town kind of area. Around here... 2.7 Ks, not too bad. All right, what's next? Where are we? Where is this? Is this Madagascar? What's that say? So, it sounds Arabic. This could be one that takes me out. Definitely thinking North Africa. I'm going to just go with just a stab in the dark. Essaouira, Morocco. Chuck it here. Oh, no! It's Mombasa in Kenya. How could I? It's a bit embarrassing, isn't it? 6,553 Ks off. All right, we'll just pretend that never happened. Where are we now? This is Brazil, isn't it? Yeah, I know where this is. This is in Rio. Like, that was an incredible, really an amazing trip. Very sketchy at times. One of the most dangerous things I've seen there. Very tight, look. Hard to breathe. Very young on crack. He changed, he's still in the crying. Look at the lap the world is taking. The ones we love never die. Lots of bullet holes. Do you know how new these bullet holes are? Oh, a couple of days ago. Look, the view. Swimming pool for swimming. Somebody like me coming up here alone would be the most stupid thing you could ever do. Alone? You're dead. The main problem is sewage. Hi, mom. How are you? Hello. To eat. What is this, man? It's balsamic. Mercy! Do you want to die? All right, let's get to Rio. So, I think it was on, like... Yeah, yeah, there's Racinha. I think that is Racinha. Less than a kilometer, not bad. I'll take that. 943 meters away. Amazing trip, amazing country, Brazil, really. It's a... So much going on. Where are we now? Oh, I know where we are. This is... There you go, it says it right there. Soweto, South Africa. Johannesburg. Just outside Johannesburg. That's 2018. We've arrived in a city just out of Johannesburg called Soweto. It means southwest township, basically. You can see these, like, different buildings here. These are called men's hostel and there's 12 of these all around Soweto. And so, these are for single men mainly who come from the outside villages and come to work to get money for their family. Now, we've come to the cooling towers here and you can actually... If you call ahead and arrange it, you can bungee jump off the middle bridge there. So, that'd be a pretty cool thing to do. That was a blast from the past. All right, South Africa, Jo'burg. Jo'burg, Soweto over here. Chakra around here, 7.5 Ks. Okay, what do we got here? Is this... Yeah, this is Albania. Man, they really dug deep in my old videos. I got a rock just in case. Where am I? I'm not gonna lie, this looks like street dog territory. I don't really know where I'm going. Like, it's one of those mornings. Got a little friend here. Mastercard got stolen. I don't want to get shot today. Smoke a cigarette, ride a quad bike, play with some knives and guns. Albania, let's go to Albania, everybody. It was above Tirana, which is the capital. 7.9 Ks, what do we got here? This is a huge city in Nigeria. I forget the name, but I definitely don't forget the place because I had a really funny interaction with a local woman there. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. Money, money. Okay. Money. If you want it, come and get it. Okay. Okay, Kenny. Money, money. Money, money, money. If you have malaria sickness with you, then you can get this. Does the driver have malaria? Maybe he has it. All right, so Nigeria, let's zoom in. What was it called? There it is, Ibadan. Of course, I remember Ibadan. Chakra in the middle there. 1.9 Ks. Okay, where are we now? Why do I get a feeling that this is Kenya? This has got to be Nairobi because the buses are like this. This is the most unique paint jobs on these buses. Let's go to Kenya. Get this Kenya right this time. Right into Nairobi. It's a market I went to in Nairobi, isn't it? Let's have a look around this market. It looks super cool. How are you? Nice to meet you. Take a picture. You also take me, man. It's video. Yeah, it's a video. Yeah. Can I talk? What can I say? Say anything. Welcome to Nairobi or... Let me first pick this. All right. Can I get some tomatoes? Yeah. You have been here how many days? I got here yesterday. Yesterday? Yeah. Oh, so this is your next... First day. First day here? Yeah. Oh, that's nice. And you're alone. You don't have a boat guard here. No. Are you okay? You can kill me right now. Yeah, I can shoot you. Chakra here. Not bad. 1.4 kilometers in a city of like 20 million people or something. So, I'm going to wrap the video up there, guys. A great trip down memory lane. Thank you to GeoGuessr for partnering with me on this video. You can also play anywhere in the world. So, you can have it select random locations in any corner of the world. It's a lot of fun and educational. So, give it a go if you want. I'll leave the link in the description. I'll see you in the next video. About to jump on a plane and fly to a brand new country I've never been to. Looking forward to sharing it with you. In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Thank you for all the support over the years. Just playing this game makes me realize how lucky I am and how fortunate I am to have you guys supporting me over the last almost decade.
