You're watching Vagabrothers, and this is Peru. What's going on Vagabuddies? Welcome back to the channel. Right now we are in Lima, Peru. It's our first time coming to this country, and we are super excited to be here. We've got a lot of things to tell you. We're in Peru because we're part of a program at YouTube to make four virtual reality videos, and we're going to make a VR tour of Machu Picchu.  But we didn't want to come all the way down here for just a couple of days. So we've arrived a little bit early to explore Cusco and Lima, as well. To capture the experience better, we're bringing along our friend and colleague, Carlos Mason, the cinematographer behind East of Eden and our virtual reality mentor, DJ, to help us capture Machu Picchu, the best we possibly can. It's going to be an awesome adventure. We're going to eat well. We're going meet some Peruvian friends. We're going to explore the culture and the history.... ...

I'm in the middle of reading one of my favorite Korean novels, in the city of Seoul. And today, I'm going to be sharing with you some of the best things you can do on your trip to Seoul. So without further ado, let's get started. (electronic music) Now this is a city like I have never seen before. It's this hyper advanced Asian city that loves poop emojis and loves spicy food. Coincidence? I think not. From its' Korean barbecue restaurants, its' vibrant, alcohol infused nightlife, and of course its' love for everything that is cute and weird, I have never seen anything that quite compares to South Korea. After just shy of a week in Seoul, these are the 30 things, facts, and places that I can't pronounce, that you need to know about before arriving in this incredible travelers destination. Starting with number one, the lightening fast internet at affordable rates. From the moment I arrived at the airport I was extremely excited. I had options to have u...

As someone who left her steady job in search of meaning and satisfaction, hustling for work that pays well but gives me no joy was strictly out of bounds. Of course I broke this rule every single time I was in need of money(which was most of the year if I'm being honest), but having worked on few stories that gave me the elusive satisfaction rode me through 2016, a year which will go down as the one that taught me working towards a focussed goal is better but a diverse income source isn't a bad thing altogether. If you don't know this already, I have always identified as a storyteller – not a writer, not a photographer and definitely not a neo-influencer! When 2016 arrived on swift wings, I dreamt of dedicating the year to relieving the burden of untold stories I'm carrying within but I strayed from that path. I'm now embarrassed to say travel writing is my profession considering I've churned out less than 15(I know, right?) stories this year! However, des...

It was an unusual moment for many of us but it was in fact common for the queen to be this generous. Not one, not two but three gorgeous Royal Bengal Tigers were ambling through the sun-dappled forests of Madhya Pradesh that morning, completely oblivious to the rarity of such a precious sight. Led by the legendary Collarwali , the undisputed queen of Pench, a tigress that has now gained cult status among wildlife enthusiasts for her record-setting offspring count, proficiency in seeing cubs through to adulthood and her audacious appearances with her litter, I gaped in complete disbelief as the shy cubs timidly followed their mother. Collarwali's cub, a 14 month old tigress at a watering hole in Pench National Park It was the summer of 2016 and Kipling’s Jungle Book had just gotten one of its most illustrious silver screen adaptations yet. Images of Mowgli running through the jungles of Seoni flashed in my mind as we drove through the parched landscape of Pench National Pa...

Racing against time and a sky on fire, Ravi brought his motorbike to a screeching halt at Butler Bay when I made a frantic run towards the beach. I was hoping to catch the day's last light from the shores of Little Andaman, the southernmost tip of Andaman archipelago. At the behest of an acquaintance, Ravi, a native school teacher graciously agreed to play host to a fraught solo traveller who was hell bent on exploring this island with nonexistent tourist infrastructure but wasn't brave enough to venture that far without knowing a single person. He took the pain to drive me across the vast island and brought me to what was decidedly the best I had seen in Andaman yet. For starters, measuring over 22kms, it is the longest beach of the whole archipelago! Blazing sunset at Butler Bay, Little Andaman Think Andaman and the first thing that pops into mind is probably Havelock. So as any offbeat traveller worth her salt, I did what I had to do – skip Havelock entirely to fin...
