00:03number one Aruba you know Aruba the island in the southern Caribbean that literally doesn't get
00:09hurricanes so people go there all year round yes Aruba that happy little island I want to tell you
00:16if you want to know what it's like if New England and New York threw up on a Caribbean island
00:22that's
00:22what you have the prices are expensive even for the Caribbean it is expensive but also it's the
00:28fact that you'll see giants and Patriots flags flying everywhere and you just feel like you're
00:32kind of an extension on a fancier warmer suburb of one of the major cities in the Northeast so it
00:37has a definitely a different vibe than other islands in the Caribbean now next on my list
00:42is Vancouver British Columbia now you'd think with all the movies and TV shows that are filmed there
00:47and the way they talk about Vancouver on HGTV and everything it must be the greatest place to live
00:51ever it must be a wonderful place to live actually for nature yes the nature there is beautiful the
00:56whale watching that's really cool the Museum of Anthropology where you see all the First Nation
01:01stuff I mean that's really incredible like those are cool I'm not saying it's not a good place to go
01:05what I'm saying is it's overrated now another overrated place which is kind of a victim of its
01:10own success in terms of population growth is Sao Paulo Brazil I live in Sao Paulo Sao Paulo is a
01:16fantastic place to live if you're working there because it's got great shopping it's got great
