Welcome to my channel, The World and Alex.
My name is Alex, and in December of 2023, I quit my job, sold my apartment and all my belongings to pursuit a lifelong dream of traveling full time.
The idea of traveling solo, as a middle-aged man, is both exciting and daunting, so I decided to bring my camera, and document my experiences. Not only to share my journey but also in the hopes of showing how amazing and wonderful traveling and the world truly is. 🌍
My goal is to visit the traditional sights as well as the lesser-known places - on a budget - and do some volunteer work with animals whenever possible.

19 Hours on a Ferry From Osaka (Japan) to Busan (South Korea).
I took the ferry from Osaka in Japan, to Busan in South Korea. It was a 19-hour overnight journey, and it cost about the same as a flight.
I got my own cabin, and it was including dinner and breakfast.
Furthermore, I got exquisite views along the way. If you have the time, I definitely recommend taking this route (and experience) instead of flying.

What to Do in Osaka, Japan
zhlédnutí 71Před 16 hodinami
Osaka is the 2nd biggest city in Japan, and there is absolutely something for everyone. From temples, shrines and even castles, to busy streets and alleys packed with restaurants and shops. Universal studios was a fun day and the city of Nara, with the famous deer park, is only 45 minutes by train from Osaka, so make sure you have enough days to experience it all!

3 Days in Kyoto, Japan, on a Budget
zhlédnutí 191Před dnem
3 days in Kyoto was not nearly enough. It is such a lovely city with so much history and culture, and even though it is a big city (with approximately 1,5 million inhabitants), it still has that small city vibe. With numerous and beautiful shrines and temples, historic little streets, shopping opportunities and amazing restaurants, I would have loved to stay longer - definitely a place that I w...

Anime, games and the vending machines, Gachapon, are super popular in Tokyo/Japan. There are stores pretty much everywhere you look. The popularity with Anime is everything from toys, collectibles, outfits and looks to restaurants. Game stores include everything from video games to claw machines where you can try your luck grabbing pretty much any item imaginable. Gachapon can be found on the s...
What to Do Around Mt Fuji - The Perfect Day Trip
zhlédnutí 299Před 14 dny
While in Tokyo, I took a day-trip to Mt. Fuji. We stopped at 4 different places; first was Oishi Park, by lake Kawaguchi, where we got a perfect view of the iconic mountain. Next stop was Arakurayama Sengen Park where we went to the famous Chureito Pagoda that also gives you a perfect view of Mt. Fuji. Then we headed to Oshino Hakkai to see 8 ponds with natural spring water, and the final stop ...
Best Things to do in Tokyo, Japan, on a Budget
zhlédnutí 770Před 21 dnem
It is my first time in amazing Tokyo, Japan. The city is massive with people everywhere. Each area of Tokyo is very different from one another, so there is plenty to see and do, and it doesn’t have to be very expensive. I experienced so much while being on a budget, and I have narrowed down my favorite things in this video. Sensoji Temple Shibuya Scramble Crossing Ueno Park Imperial Palace Shin...
Best and Stunning Views in Bangkok
zhlédnutí 547Před 2 měsíci
Bangkok has a staggering amount of skyscrapers and hence amazing viewpoints. At the King Power Mahanakhon, you can do a skywalk which is the highest observation deck in Thailand. You get a 360-degree view of Bangkok, and if you have the nerves, you can walk on the glass floor and look directly 314 meters down to the street. Ticket price from 880 baht ($24). Right next to the Skywalk, you can op...
Hiking the Monk's Trail in Chiang Mai
zhlédnutí 54Před 2 měsíci
The Monks Trail (Wat Pha Lad nature trail) in Chiang Mai is a hike of about 2 kilometers and an elevation of 1.073 meters. The trail leads up to the Buddhist temple Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a temple that is very sacred to many Thai people. Besides the religious importance, it is a very beautiful temple (with a stunning view of Chiang Mai). The day I did the hike, it was 39 degrees (102 Fahrenh...
Sleeper Train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai
zhlédnutí 313Před 2 měsíci
I took the sleeper train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. The journey took just under 13 hours, and I was pleasantly surprised about the comfort and standard of the train. I had a very comfortable sleep and the price was only 938 baht (about 25 USD). Not only was it a lot cheaper than a flight, I also saved money instead of spending a night in a hotel. About me 👨 My name is Alex, and in December of ...
Train Market and Floating Market in Bangkok
zhlédnutí 108Před 2 měsíci
I went to the iconic Train Market and the Floating Market in Bangkok. I booked a tour for the price of 38 USD. Both markets are fairly close to each other, about 1,5 hours from Bangkok. Although it was a great day and interesting to experience, I did feel that both markets are now more a tourist attraction than actual markets. About me 👨 My name is Alex, and in December of 2023, I quit my job, ...
Songkran Festival 2024 in Bangkok
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed 2 měsíci
Songkran Festival is the New Year celebration in Thailand, and it is a giant water fight. I finally got to experience this incredible festivity - and it did not disappoint. I was in Bangkok and found my way to Silom Road and had so much fun. Everyone splashes each other with water (an ancient tradition to wash away the sins from the previous year), and it was such a joy to see everyone with big...

What was the name of your hotel in Delhi?
The LaLit… a little extravagant but perfect location 👍🏻😊
Great video! Enjoying ur travel vids! new Subscriber! Keep up the great work! Watching from Brisbane, Qld
Thanks so much 🤩
I hope that Japan becomes your second home!
Thanks 🥰 LOVE Japan 🤩
Wow I am heading there in September. Not sure if I can wake up that early to go to the bamboo Forrest. But I will try to get up as early as possible.
I’m sure you’ll have a fantastic time, regardless of the time 😉 Enjoy 🤩
It looks so safe and peaceful at 4 o'clock in the morning! Just an extraordinary, special place, truly. Thank you for capturing the spirit of Kyoto for us!
Thank you 🥰
Beautiful Kyoto Japan.. Superb video 🎉. Definitely now in my travel bucket list.
Thank you very much 🥰
Great video. Loved the blooper at the end 😂
Thanks 🫣😉🥰
Couldn’t agree more!!! 😊
First time seeing one of your vlogs. You seem a lovely guy. Great job presenting India in all its contrasting glory. Sad that it was such a short visit as there is so much to see in Delhi. I agree with you on the Delhi Red Fort, good to visit the outside and around the entry gate but Agra's Rad Fort is far more interesting to visit. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much 😊
April and May are the hottest months in India! Last time I went was March of 2022 and it was the hottest March on record in 211 years! It was averaging 38-43 degrees 😅😅😅 so April/May temperatures. It is hot but it’s nice cause there’s less people around 😂
So hot - but so worth it 😉🥰

Hi Alex, where did you stay in New Delhi? TIA xx
I stayed at the LaLit hotel. Perfect location 👍🏻😊
Your videos are interesting & informative, keep up the good work.
Thank you 🥰
I can optimize videos and design thumbnails if you want. Then your channel will grow organically👍
Appreciate the offer but I like the learning process 😊
Wow, Alex, it's incredible that you took the initiative to present the world's traditional sights to everyone. But, although your video is good, I am a bit disappointed with the number of views. Your video optimization and thumbnails are not perfect.
Thanks, I know but it’s a learning process 😉

The sweat is real! When we did it we had stinking hot weather on the way up, then torrential rain at the top! Yours looks much more pleasant.
Even with the heat, I throughly had an amazing day 🤩 A big hike ending with a breathtaking view - nothing better 👍🏻😊
Absolutely phenomenal episode man! What a presentation!
Thank you 🤩
ปีหน้าชวนเพื่อนๆมาเยอะๆนะครับ
Many has already said they want to come 🤩🎉🥰
The air quality is bad, you shldn't be exercising outside in the heat. I'm glad u made it out ok!
I had hoped to cool down by some random waterfalls but they were all dried up 🤷🏼♂️😆

สวัสดีครับ 🙏
How do you feel about Sleeper Train?
I would do it again 👍🏻😊
That footage of the train passing you makes us nervous! Haha great content 👌
It went really slow so not so scary 😜
Pretty cool

I was wondering how to say Coogee, glad you cleared that up 😊 My family and I, will be headed that way later in the year.

Welcome @theworldandalex 👍
I am from Agra and you
Sun block and a sun shading hat are essential in that region.
Absolutely, the Australian sun is so strong! Even when it’s cloudy…
Great video, the sharks will give me nightmares! 🦈 😮
These sharks didn’t care about us humans, think it was more the commotion of all the other fish that got their attention 👍🏻😊
on behalf of all Australians thank you
Thank you 🥰
Great content keep them coming
Thanks 🥰
