- Nauru is small enough to drive in 30 minutes. As a hitchhiker, I found the perfect opportunity to see the tiny nation in a unique way! Highlights of my adventure on foot.

I've been very interested into Nauru since the early 2000s (and almost made it there myself if they could have afforded me). Btw, I'm one of the guys who've worked hard on the Wikipedia article of Nauru, which has become an excellent source that may have ignited the interest of many into this remote island. This is the first video that actually shows the typical moments that only explorer eyes can see. It was great to see the street corners, the coral beach, the kids and the girl on the bike smiling into your camera. I wish you had filmed so many more typical scenes, like when you went to restaurants for your canned beef, when strolling the streets, visiting shops or hanging out with locals etc. Anyhow, this video stands out! Thanks for the great insight into the visa process, what an amount of work you've put into this video which deserves so much more than 800 views. Keep on exploring! I'll watch some more of your oceania videos.
+chotaire I really really appreciate that amazing comment my friend. That's what I'm all about. Not just the scenery, the little things and a bit of life that happens in the places I go. Nauru is an interesting, unique place I had been desiring to visit for years and wanted to see and share that with the world. 🙏🏾
+chotaire to add to my previous comment, I've incorporated other aspects of some of what you mentioned in some of my other videos. Still have some more to add also. Small island, big charm 😁
Why have you not claim your prize
I study Nauru too. I'm looking for people with similar interests. Thanks for the English Wikipedia, great information. Also there is a book in German by Hambruch about Nauru. Reading nauruan fairy tales etc.
Nauru has very few resources being so small. So glad we can all come together and share what we know and learned.
Lived in Nauru early 80s. Went to school there for awhile then did correspondence. Lots of great fishing, swimming and exploring WW2 relics and caves. Still have a Japanese cannon shell. Makes a nice vase. Thanks for the video 👍
A Japanese canon shell! AWESOME! Do you have pictures of it. Would love to see it?
Living in Nauru in the 80's must've been interesting! Any best memories?
@@aperezvoyages Shall do. Its in storage. I'll take a pic when i get the chance. We also dug up some cases of live ammo. Made necklaces out of the bullets 😎
Ah man! That’s so awesome! Would surely love to see if you find any photos in your archives. 😃🤓
Appreciate you wanting to visit our little island we call home and finding beauty in our history and environment.
Was a pleasure! Glad I spent the amount of time I did even under the pressure of visa requirements. Gave me all the time I needed to connect with people and learn all I did!
Man the clouds are like heaven ✨
hmmmm…🧐🤨
5 stars for making the girl on the bike smile in the camera. 10 stars for her to be so nice to take you and a 100 stars for all these nice people living there.
+Marc beebee amen my friend 😁
I was a refugee here 4 years in nauru now im in usa for 5 years
I lived in Nauru in the late 70's at the height of their wealth. Went to school Aiwo Primary then on to the Secondary school. We lived in Meneng. Was an amazing child/teen place to have grown up in. Free outdoor cinema, Civic centre movies with air con, Star Twinkles Restaurant, China town free buses...just to name a few. I am very sadden by whats happened.
This bought back some memories, i went to Nauru in 2007 for 2 months to work. Great to see this clip during my lunch break. :)
Nauru is such an incredible small island! :D Happy to bring you back mate :D
Fascinating island
+Gwen's Language Lab Sure is, also know as "Pleasant Island" also 😊🇳🇷
Soy de República Dominicana en el Mar Caribe y Nauru se me pareció mucho a mí país. 🇩🇴🇳🇷
I'm in Nauru right now. The pandemic made coming here even HARDER! but man, Anthony, you really summed up Nauru well in this video. I love the beach a lot here and the locals are friendly.
Are you there for work purposes? Just saw an ad where they are looking for Case managers to go to Nauru. So tempting to apply for the job but am already in another job. 😫😫😫
This is the most down to earth travel channel on CZcams...for this part of the world
Thanks so much my friend 😊
Watched this same video 10 times because it's amazing.
Glad you enjoyed 🌺😊🤙🏽
You really deserve more subs and views Anthony. Thanks for your amazing content - Love from Canada
+Darien Head Thanks so much man! I really appreciate it 😁🙏🏾
@@markben8485 What Prize?
Mark Ben the scammiest comment I've ever seen
Reported for spam! Thanks man 😎
it is nice to live there,no population boom,no traffics only greeny and fresh air
unfortunately there are only imported foods, because phosphate mining made impossible for them to grow their own food
Thanks for showing us an interesting place that we hardly hear about, and likely (and sadly) will never visit. Hello from Norway
Never say never :D Hello from O’ahu
The video, music nd Rocky sea is just something unique I will never get evertime.thankyu for this beautiful video🤍⛰💙
I don't understand why you're still at 4k subs.
+zak. Haha not sure but still growing little by little! You've got a big journey coming up my friend 🙌🏾
@@aperezvoyages yes I do! (replying with my new channel) hopefully we will still meet up in some part of the world one day.
this made my heart dream
Nice to see this video. I was their in1991. Till 1993. Missing this Beautiful Island 🏝 .I have
Ots of Nauruan friends. Working with Philatelic Bureau of Nauru.
Beautiful Island😊
I wasn't expecting this to be so heartfelt
🙏🏽🙏🏽😊
Liked and subbed! Anga DeiNaoero meg ian New York (I am a Nauruan living in New York)
Hey what's the cost of living there per month in nauru ?
@@ricardorostant2566 it’s pretty expensive, electricity can cost up to $100 a week. Water is about $100 month and internet connection up to $400 a month
Thanks for sharing brah
i love nauru
💙💙💙🇳🇷
I love Nauru too. I'm Russian.
+Anthony Perez, I like the details you share about your experiences and the places such as Nauro that you’ve been to.
Thank you brother! :D
Nauru follower since 2014
Nicely Explored!
There is an Australian Detention Camp Also in Nauro
That our Nauru is so fun
I'll be heading towards Nauru once I graduated from the University
Amazing to see inside nauru ...goog job bro..keep it up
+ZRZ CHANNEL Thank you brother 😀
Looks beautiful there
Wow, Nauru is beautiful. I'm ashamed to say I've never heard of it, and I consider myself fairly educated in geography. Looks like the locals are fairly accepting. Nice video. We just followed your channel...would love it if you returned the favor.
Never an ounce of surprise that people haven’t heard of it. I mean it is literally a tiny dot in the pacific. But that’s what makes it that much more incredible of a place to learn about. Not much is online other than wiki pages and blogs/vlogs of travelers content there. Maybe one day you can adventure there also. 😄
@@aperezvoyages Definitely! We need to get to the lesser-known places like this.
Yeah, that way it can turn into a crap hole that's overcrowded with tourists
All up to government of Nauru. If they promote it in the right way, they can have tourism but in moderation. Look at how Bhutan is. Extreme example but their culture and system is still well intact
Fair enough, but greed can be an easy trap to fall into.
4:12 - it must be difficult for boats to bring trade to Nauru with all those sharp, jagged rocks? Great video btw!
My older brother has been here. I hope some day the nation can recover.
It’s tourism is doing incredible
It was a beautiful island 🏝️ thanks for this video
Rich country in the world

once Upon a time
Thanks for sharing us about Nauru.Subscribed
Thank you!! Welcome to the channel! 🌺😀
Would like to visit Nauru. Not very interested in flashy, fake marble facade structure, endless swimming pool, type resorts but just want to visit regular place where people live day to day in a unique country.
Amen brother!
Same 👍 like Paris is overrated
Nauru is the best. Salam I from indonesia
Kepala bapak kau is de best
Anthony gracias por compartir este video y el atrevimiento de ir a una de las islas tan remota, es el primer video sobre Nauro que veo, lo apecio
Gracias amigo! Un placer!
U dont need to hitchhiking just walk around 😂😂.... one of my next projects too to visit this tiny interesting island with a special history.
It’s actually a big island in terms of walking lol
What a sweet thing to say about the place right at the end
+Craig Evans Thanks brother! Like nearly all places I travel too. Comes with a story and long desire to go with lots of time passing by before making it. 😊
Just wanted to say that I enjoy your videos a lot - vloggers exploring Oceania doesn't really grow on trees. Always straight to the point as it is over there, no cherries on top or fancy editing.
Planning to visit Australia + New Zealand for about 2ish months in total with a detour for about a week to one of the islands in Oceania. Have a wife and a kid who will be 4 by then. We're thinking of 7ish days in Fiji - would you reckon Fiji would be worth that visit? As you've been around down there, which island/country would you say would "suit us" best for about a week?
Thanks in advance - greetings from Sweden!
+Daniel H Hey Daniel! Thanks so much for the feedback and the kind words. I really appreciate it. The pacific islands hold a place in my heart! If I could pick an island best suited for a family. I would say Fiji would be your place. Infrastructure is a bit better than most islands and if you have an emergency God for bid, you have emergency services at the ready in Fiji. I wish you all the best in your planning. Aussie is still on my sights and New Zealand is just amazing! Best year ever! If you have any more questions my friend, just message away 😀

I liked vedio. I was there in 1980 when my father ran the motor workshop. i 3 1/2 weeks holiday.
Gerard.
That’s amazing! Some great memories during a historic time 😎
@@aperezvoyages Thanks for the reply.
Gerard.
Thank you for sharing 😊
no problem. man.🙂
Very nice country Nauru....from Bangladesh
I think this is taking off with views beacuse of the recent history of Nauru videos. You deserve the views!!!!!!!!!
It’s crazy when it shoots back up because of the influencers that go haha
nice country i like
Amazing video, salam dari Indonesia 😃
Perfect video…❤❤😅
😅🤙🏽👊🏼
FYI, I saw a big 29-storey Building name Nauru Bldg. in the Makati Philippines build in 1989. It was owned by Nauru Government.
They were a super rich nation
Muito lindo 😍
Nice clip, Perez, sure Nauru is a unique island. Take care.
It sure is 😊🤙🏽
Beautiful video thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching :)
Hi Anthony, thanks so much for this video 🤙

Heel mooi amigo 👍🏽😉
Your videos are amazing.......did you went to pohnphei and non madol yet???
Thank you braddah! No not yet. I wanted to go during my pacific island trip but couldn’t afford going over to FSM from the Marshalls
@@aperezvoyages being an Indian visiting Nan madol for me was tough but the experience I had was unforgettable....
❤️🌍
You like my home because I love my home 😁😁😁😊🥰
Great videos! You post!!!!
+japeth harrison Thanks my friend 😀
Nice view
2024!
Wow! Lovely video man. This video is more beautiful than the one I saw by Drew Binsky.
Hoping you also grow in near future. All the best! 👍
Thanks so much man! I really appreciate that
You won one more sub. xD
Welcome 😀
Di mana kota nya nauru?
Apa kah kota nya indah,selain pesisir pantai?
Muy Linda la hisla
Good content !
It looks so much bigger compared to the map size.
Perspective is crazy! It’s not a big island but once you drive or let alone walk, it’s much bigger than it seems.
i want to go to there
Found your channel yesterday and I'm in love with your videos. One question, do you remember the name of the song/s used during this particular video?
Cheers from Colombia 😋
Welcome to the channel hermano! All the songs I use on my videos are royalty free through Soundstripe: bit.ly/3clKPeq . Any particular ones you liked?
@@aperezvoyages the one that's sounding at 2:43 and around. I think you put it throughout most of this video
Are there bicycles
I believe so! 😊
I would love to see country ❤️❤️ 🇱🇰 im from srilanka
❤❤❤
Hey what's the cost of living there per month ??
I couldn't tell you. I just know there are people who live in decent family homes where others live in poor conditions.
2:56 2:58 3:01
Resort goods idea and hotel
Sad that one of the most wealthy Pacific island nations ended up like this.
Corruption and greed at its finest
Ask them if that have any phosphate left.
Saw the video about that country. Ugh. People got the short end of the stick. 150 years ago, it was a beautiful island till someone finds bird droppings. Stripped mined to bare bones. The people even bought sport cars and one guy couldn’t get to sit in his. Sport cars in a circle with speed limit less than 35 mph.
@@NyuuMikuru1 There was a time in the last century when they had the second highest income per capita in the world.
@@deirdre108 I know, I saw that video.
I don't think Chandra is Nepali Refugee, he might be a migrant worker.
do you know if theres a cheaper way then via nauru airlines?
it was around 3.5 grand for one person round trip last time i checked
Depends where you’re flying from but Nauru airlines is the only airlines flyin in and out of Nauru
Me Nauru to you go to nauru
You are standing in on of the richest and poorest country in the world.
Hey Anthony. Nice video u share here. I’m curious, where you stay in nauru? And how about the foods there?
I stayed at a listed Airbnb with a guy named Matthew and his wife Tricia, great people and accommodating to travelers. Some who are big time CZcamsrs. And the food is between imports from NZ/ Aus, Chinese restaurants, or fresh caught fish from the sea. Or a combination of both 😁
Anthony Perez thank you Anthony.
Anytime brother 👊🏼
Who else is here after they learned about their money mismanagement?
+Erebus Anima Nauru's irresponsible history of their funds and natural resources sets an example for the world.
Nauru is best to make a large disneyland,a water world or a golf course.
Idk about that man 😂
Best not to do that! smh
quick question, from where did you arrive to nauru? or from which country,
From Tarawa Kiribati round trip 😊
Nice video, like from Brazil
After dhurve rathee
hello, is it true that nauru has alot of wild dogs? i have heard those wild dogs could be aggressive too.
Aloha! Yes you are correct. Lots of wild dogs across the island and are super aggressive. You need to carry a stick and if they go to attack pretend to pick up a rock and throw it.
Hey super matchi I'm tamilan
Oh I thought it's just a rock with loads of bird poops.. it's an actual island country but it looks dilapidated
