The world's #1 or #2 least visited country. LOTS of mystery to solve. Our last "T" country, and last Polynesian country (one more for Oceania though!). Also Thanks KERI - she is officially the RAREST person we've ever had as a guest host the show (only about 13,000 Tuvaluans in the world). THIS is an episode you don't want to miss. ENJOY!
I’ve always had this fascination with these tiny island nations in Oceania ever since I visited Hawaii. Hawaii is cool, but I don’t think you really get the authentic island experience when everything is so tourist-y. Now enter these tiny island nations that go completely unknown by most of the rest of the world; there’s pristine beaches, coral reefs, islands to explore, and rich culture somewhere here, the only issue is well… trying to get there in the first place.
and there are plenty of islands (maybe not Tuvalu though) that have a much better balance of touristy and authentic than Hawaii, where you can enjoy your luxury beach cabins and pay with credit cards but also be extremely close to the traditional islander lifestyle
@@CoffeeSuccubus Its literally a US state. " Americanized " ( which you say like its a bad thing ) is what it should be. It'd be like if Arizona became " European"-ized, or something.
@mate Yes, it should- because it's a US state. As much as Oklahoma, Utah, Texas, or North Dakota. You say " Americanized " as if it's bad ( it isn't ), and as if it's a country- which it isn't. A US State. Also funny you mock tourism, given that whole nations depend on it for their economy. Or that it stops you from having the " authentic island experience ", which for some IS tourism. There's always...Guam, I suppose, if you want somewhere more rustic
Fafetai lasi (thank you very much) for showcasing Tuvalu 🇹🇻 very proud to see you showcase nearly all the Pacific Islands , with just Vanuatu left 😊 I also want to acknowledge your awesome pronunciation especially with the name TuVAlu .... leshgo Tuvalu !!!! Sipi kana!!!! 🌏🥥🌺🌴🇹🇻
I worked in Tuvalu in the 80s as a surveyor, incredibly beautiful. I flew in once and sailed many times. It was the first time that I was on a tropical deserted island, nobody else… Stunning people/scenery/country, I strongly recommend that you make it one of your life’s adventures, because it will be…
34 Now, after the pyramid top, where I was standing, comes the Capstone and the Capstone is the Seventh dimension! And on the other side, it was in this seventh dimension that the constellation of all the celestial beings stood above the waters, this was the Capstone that had come down there on the pyramid top, above the waters, while I was standing there on sand of the sea, on the pyramid top. And this corruptible body could not get into the Capstone, as the body of William Branham could not get into the constellation of the seven Angels when he was receiving the seven seals. As also the body of Moses could at no time get into the seventh dimension when he was receiving the tables of the law. Who I am then, I, Prophet Kacou Philippe? Have all these great messengers who came before me built the pyramid, age after age, for me to come and stand on it? Who is this one who has received a so great grace? Truly, this one is the celestial door of the pyramid of ages whose bases are the waters. But it is humbly by the underground door the mankind will meet me and will meet Salvation.

Fun Fact (I don't remember it being mentioned in the video) There are 9 stars on the flag which represent the 9 islands of Tuvalu in the rough location.
It's incredible how you managed to get two Tuvaluans on your show, Barbs, as I due to how their so rare outside of their native country and how I don't think contacting the ones who live in the country is easy. No wonder you call people like Carrie, Terry from the Solomon Islands, and Malika from Turkmenistan "unicorns". I do wish the best of everything for the tiny dots in the ocean, Tuvalu and Happy Thanksgiving, Barbs. 🇹🇻
i just about cried when i found out that getting there would be 12 000 euros from europe. never in my lifetime will i be able to see this beauty. really fantastic episode!
I’d love to see geography now episodes which focus specifically on indigenous populations in various regions and videos about the different seas and oceans!
Loved the short segment of countries from years ago demanding longer episodes. I hope when you are done with all the contries left, you get around to revisiting some of them.
Thank you Paul, and everyone else he’s worked with, for telling me about all of these countries, small and large. I’m really exited for the Uganda video, and this one was amazing to😊!
@@DLR1997 They is some big ones coming up. USA, United Kingdom, UAE, Vietnam, and ……. Ukraine. That episode is going to be quite hairy. Also, I think early episodes (especially the A, B & C Countries) need full episodes of their own. He did those really early in the channel and deserve the full episode treatment.
Hey Geography now team you guys should do a segment on wider ethnolinguistic families like Germanic peoples, Slavs, Sink-Tibetan, Austronesian, etc. I like the way y’alls channel shares info and I feel like y’all could really do really well with side episodes like that.
Keri is such a natural co-host, Paul! She did great. Best co-host, that's not already a part of Geography Now, ever! You should really think of hiring her! 🥳
It was great to hear the Tuvaluan language! Very interesting video. The individual regions (islands) being important for personal identity even though it's a small country kinda reminded me of my own country Switzerland.
I have learned so much about the world watching these videos! I was only vaguely aware that Tuvalu was a country in Oceania prior to watching this video. Thank you!
29:45 They do deserve longer episodes, dude. No but seriously, I understand that for now you only focus on getting to Zimbabwe. And I am all for it, there are some really known and interesting countries coming, like Zimbabwe itself, all "United" countries (UAE, UK, USA), Venezuela, Yemen, Uruguay, and I personally already can't wait for my birth country Ukraine (only one more episode left before it, yoo-hoo!) That being said, I do hope that in some 8795 years, after you make videos about all UN countries and all UN observers and unrecognized countries, you will find the time, resources and, most importantly, the desire to redo at least the A and B countries into current format. Regardless, that was a great episode)) Really amazes me how such a small country with barely any land has so much going for them)
I haven't yet had the good fortune to visit Tuvalu, one day I will get there, I know a few Tuvalu who live in NZ, really looking forward to visiting. Can't wait for the episode on Niue, and Taiwan, when they come.
I do plan on visiting Tuvalu someday when I am able to financially, and this video has helped me quite a bit considering how scattered the information is about Tuvalu online.
Love this video, most people in this region are more familiar with nz, Samoa, hawaii,and tahiti, Rapanui ( Easter island) but there are other islands like Tuvalu you don't hear about. ♥️
26:41 - Fale-tuagane; Is a Funafuti traditional way of presenting the gifts to their brother or their sister who is getting married. Other Tuvalu Islands are coping it and also practicing the Fale-tuagane during their wedding ceremony…
As a Polynesian thank you for videos like this(and the rest of the pacific videos). Videos like these help preserve culture which is usually misrepresented or forgotten completely.
When ever i hear Hannah speaking i go nuts. I like the way she speaks, so adorable, espacially how she pronounces the „s“ it‘s so cute, i don’t know how angels talk but i imagine they speak just like her.
I am Tongan and the name Kongatapu is the same as Tongatapu the main island in Tonga. Tonga means south and tapu means forbidden/secret/no etc. The word falekaupule in Tongan is basically 3 different words fale (house) kau (members) pulr (leaders)
In hawaiian there are cognates for Saituagane and Saitaina, they're Kaikuakane and Kaikaina, though the adoption meaning is not there, they are also used fro sibling relations, Kaikuakane is for a male brother to a woman, and Kaikaina for a younger sibling of the same gender.
I just watched Canada and then watched this and it is amazing to see how much the videos (including the puns) and the channel has evolved. I wish I knew about this channel years ago, it is just such a gem.
I’ve heard from mangrove videos that mangroves grow really well in sea water. Would this actually work to reduce or even prevent sinkage of small island nations?
Ya maybe but a big problem is sea level because at some point the trees will be too small and get washed away, but yeah and in many places where they take out mangroves the effects of erosion and waves get worse
Hey, I've been there, to Funafuti. The Pandanus fruit was interesting, the coconuts were good, the crabs were great and the coconut crabs were amazing. I remember one of the days I was there, it was raining really heavily and I had to go out to get some fishing line for something. I could have waited until the rain stopped, but my clothes were due for a wash anyway. The path I took from where we were staying to the shops, I ran both ways about 380m, brought me along the side of the air strip for about 140m, running through water that was nearly up to my knees. All in all, a very memorable experience.
I'm in love with Criminal Minds!! I was so happy to see Random Hannah as a character in the episode. :) I Love Hannah and her personality. Keep up the work Barb!!!!
Shipping info could be a bit more accurate. Tuvalu sold Nivaga II way longer than 9 months ago (video's release date). Currently, the islands are services by the Nivaga III, Manufolau and Moeiteava as the main scheduled vessels and a couple smaller vessels that are sometimes chartered for specific purposes.
If I had the opportunity I would visit to both take in the island vibe but also the Japanese wartime wrecks. It’s like some Indians Jones/Lara Croft/Nathan Drake mystery exploration. They should sell tourism by perhaps embracing that ‘theme’.

Wow so many similarities. In Kiribati, we call it. Te Karewe(toddy), Te Mai(breadfruit), Te ore ano(ore means hit/throw/kick), maneaba(meeting house), Nuian language(I can understand it very well different accents tho) etc.
As someone who wants to visit every country in the world one day Tuvalu is really high on my list. You seem very sweet and warm people and I would love learning how you guys live. The islands look very exotic for me since I'm from Europe, beautiful to see. The fact the country is very hard to visit because of the limited flights, small space, being far and very far apart spread and the limited hotels, I only find it more fun and adventureous to visit it. The fact you guys are welcoming to visitors to stay because the hotelrooms are very limited only shows how guest free and warm you are. I think Tuvalu is my favorite Polynesian country and I really hope to visit it one day.
25:32 Cotton and linen _are_ "cellulosic fibers", in that, like most plant fibers presumably are, they're mostly (>50%, though definitely not entirely) made of cellulose, although wool is not, being an animal fiber made more of proteins like keratin (which is apparently about a third of wool).
@@sammijanejones Barbz is starting with the countries recognized by the United Nations. Hence, neither Taiwan nor Somaliland (which he ACTUALLY VISITED) have appeared. He said he'd do the unrecognized countries after! As this video said, Tuvalu is one of the few countries to even recognize Taiwan as a country.
Sailed on the postal ship for a few days around the atolls there, rode on a motorbike with a local on Vaitapu to feed his pigs, shared drinks with a weight-lifting champ on Funafuti, visited a family with a captive sea turtle, and watched the flying fish glide across the waves in front of our stern. Also, I hear half the population has diabetes due to importing foods they didn’t evolve to eat regularly.
Another awesome video! I absolutely love traveling to obscure places and learning about different ways of life. Although I'm 19 so I haven't traveled much. Tuvalu is now on my travel list, to spend a few days on each of the "islands"
The reason i know about Tuvalu is because the frisian football coach Foppe de Haan tried to get their national team into FIFA and there was a documentary made about it. Looks like paradise 😅
Before I was happy Bulgaria starts with B so Barbs can make a video but now I am jealous, the first countries just got some tiny videos 😅 Is it possible to somehow compensate with extra information for the first countries after the completing the set? It's a great source of more content 😁
In my undergrad World Archaeology course I wrote a paper on the nation of Tuvalu and course project centered on this island. I am so glad to see this episode
The channel needs to add bougainville (I hope I said that right) which will gain independence in 2027 so they might be add it. Which they really need to add!
The world's #1 or #2 least visited country. LOTS of mystery to solve. Our last "T" country, and last Polynesian country (one more for Oceania though!).

34 Now, after the pyramid top, where I was standing, comes the Capstone and the Capstone is the Seventh dimension! And on the other side, it was in this seventh dimension that the constellation of all the celestial beings stood above the waters, this was the Capstone that had come down there on the pyramid top, above the waters, while I was standing there on sand of the sea, on the pyramid top. And this corruptible body could not get into the Capstone, as the body of William Branham could not get into the constellation of the seven Angels when he was receiving the seven seals. As also the body of Moses could at no time get into the seventh dimension when he was receiving the tables of the law. Who I am then, I, Prophet Kacou Philippe? Have all these great messengers who came before me built the pyramid, age after age, for me to come and stand on it? Who is this one who has received a so great grace? Truly, this one is the celestial door of the pyramid of ages whose bases are the waters. But it is humbly by the underground door the mankind will meet me and will meet Salvation.

Great episode! Can't believe you found two real Tuvalans to co-host. And such great production lol, especially that audio mixing ;)
Wow so many similarities. In Kiribati, we call it. Te Karewe(toddy), Te Mai(breadfruit), Te ore ano(ore means hit/throw/kick), maneaba(meeting house), Nuian language(I can understand it very well different accents tho) etc.
Tuvalu plays in CONIFA (FIFA for unrecognized States). They even made it to the World Cup of CONIFA in London in 2018.
I love Polynesia.
❤️❤️❤️ Tuvalu
As someone who wants to visit every country in the world one day Tuvalu is really high on my list. You seem very sweet and warm people and I would love learning how you guys live. The islands look very exotic for me since I'm from Europe, beautiful to see. The fact the country is very hard to visit because of the limited flights, small space, being far and very far apart spread and the limited hotels, I only find it more fun and adventureous to visit it. The fact you guys are welcoming to visitors to stay because the hotelrooms are very limited only shows how guest free and warm you are. I think Tuvalu is my favorite Polynesian country and I really hope to visit it one day.
The fact that yall foud 33 minutes of information about a nation that is as big as my town amezes me
I’m excited! You guys are getting closer to Venezuela!!!
Barbs Ur videos are the best bro u absolute legend keep up
25:32 Cotton and linen _are_ "cellulosic fibers", in that, like most plant fibers presumably are, they're mostly (>50%, though definitely not entirely) made of cellulose, although wool is not, being an animal fiber made more of proteins like keratin (which is apparently about a third of wool).
This was lovely. I love to learn new thing about small island nations. :3
And now all 10 T nations are done. Onto the 7 U's!
Taiwan: Am I a joke to you?
@@sammijanejones Barbz is starting with the countries recognized by the United Nations. Hence, neither Taiwan nor Somaliland (which he ACTUALLY VISITED) have appeared. He said he'd do the unrecognized countries after! As this video said, Tuvalu is one of the few countries to even recognize Taiwan as a country.
This episode was worth the wait. Thanks to Paul, the adorable Keri, and all involved for introducing us to Tuvalu! The more you know! 🤗
YES YES FINALLY THE TUVALU EPISODE!!!
You have no Idea how long I was waiting on that
Sailed on the postal ship for a few days around the atolls there, rode on a motorbike with a local on Vaitapu to feed his pigs, shared drinks with a weight-lifting champ on Funafuti, visited a family with a captive sea turtle, and watched the flying fish glide across the waves in front of our stern. Also, I hear half the population has diabetes due to importing foods they didn’t evolve to eat regularly.
Her accent is so unique and she has pretty eyes!
Another awesome video!
I absolutely love traveling to obscure places and learning about different ways of life. Although I'm 19 so I haven't traveled much. Tuvalu is now on my travel list, to spend a few days on each of the "islands"
I love Tuvalu!
The reason i know about Tuvalu is because the frisian football coach Foppe de Haan tried to get their national team into FIFA and there was a documentary made about it. Looks like paradise 😅
This place looks so cool I wish people could go here more
Gained more knowledge about tuvalu lots of love from India🇮🇳
Before I was happy Bulgaria starts with B so Barbs can make a video but now I am jealous, the first countries just got some tiny videos 😅 Is it possible to somehow compensate with extra information for the first countries after the completing the set? It's a great source of more content 😁
I can't believe how short is 30 minutes video...
Super nice as always.. Thank you for your effort
Go watch the Afghanistan episode. Literally 6 minutes.
I WAITED FOR THIS FOR SO LONG BUT SO SAD TO REALIZE IT’S ALMOST OVER
In my undergrad World Archaeology course I wrote a paper on the nation of Tuvalu and course project centered on this island. I am so glad to see this episode
The channel needs to add bougainville (I hope I said that right) which will gain independence in 2027 so they might be add it.
Which they really need to add!
Great episode & wonderful Tuvaluan guests.
Jewellery from sea shells,
Mathai, Island ending with word Tapu, so many similarity with Indian languages. Love 💕 from India 🇮🇳
What do those words mean in the Indian language?? Curious Tuvaluan here haha
@@kiserra tapu means a small island in hindi
