Welcome to BAKU, AZERBAIJAN! Baku is certainly a city that surprised us. We read a lot online calling this city "the next Dubai" - We're not so sure about that, but we were intrigued to find out if there is any truth to that. From the food, to the architecture, to the people, we found this city to be completely fascinating. Baku is the largest city on the Caspian Sea, sitting 92 feet below sea level, which makes it the lowest lying capital city in the world AND the largest city in the world below sea level! In this video, we'll explore the city and see what our initial impressions are.
AZERBAIJAN is our country number 51 / 197!

🌏Hi! We’re Ben and Haley. We sold everything to travel around the world. We left behind our very normal life to travel the world with only a backpack and on a budget. We left the US with no definite plans and decided to go wherever the cheapest flight takes us. We've been on the road full-time since July 2022. Come with us as we explore this beautiful world. We'll be sharing the good and the bad, the wild and the mundane, and all of our best travel tips to help with your own adventures.
Note: We’ve linked a few items to share useful things we travel with. We only promote products/services that we genuinely love and all of these items are the exact things we currently have in our backpacks right now. If you click on these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you.
THANK YOU for watching!❤️
