Smiles, Scams, and Chaos in Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 | The Dubai of the Caucasus?

What is it really like to travel to Azerbaijan? From the stunning futuristic architecture of Baku built on immense oil wealth to getting hit with a massive $2,600 car rental scam on day one, this trip was a wild ride. In this video, I explore the vibrant streets of Baku, taste the incredible local food, and experience both the warmth of the locals and the absolute chaos of the city's traffic. I also dive into the region's complex and heartbreaking history. My original goal was to visit the highly contested region of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), but after broken government websites and permit denials, my plans completely changed. Join me as I explore the Land of Fire, uncover an abandoned Armenian church in the heart of the city, and navigate the extreme highs and lows of solo traveling in the Caucasus. ⏩ Next up: Visiting Artsakh - The Country That Vanished Overnight 🌍 About Me: I’m YoungMin!
