Young History

10 small islands make up this African country. This country was the first to be touched by the Portuguese empire. There is much to be said about this country but I would rather tell it in full form. This is Cabo Verde.

A small archipelago that contains as much history as a full sized nation. This is a personal favorite of mine, so I thoroughly enjoyed doing this one. This country spent almost 1000 straight years under foreign rule by different powers and today it is one of the only ones that still remains. This is Malta. 

In the Yucatan Peninsula lies a country of vastly different cultures and a lot of history. The great Maya, the Spaniards and the British all made appearances in the history of this country and affected it greatly. This country and its people have held a lot of stories in its time and I am here to tell them. This is Belize.

A small country attached to Borneo which it shares with much bigger neighbors of Malaysia and Indonesia; has a history and culture strong enough to contend with these two giants. It is a strong monarchy which in the modern age endures a lot of criticism from the western world but just like it has throughout its entire history, it has endured. This is Brunei. 

The Capital of the Lone Star statem the city that totes the term,"Keep Austin Weird", and home to some of the best BBQ in the world. This is the Live Music Capital of the World, This is Austin.

This is a first for the podcast but with an impromptu trip to Austin, I thought it only fitting for me to give a little history on the city.

There isn't a single part of this country that isn't ripe with beauty, from the Pink Sands of Harbor island to the Masterful resorts of New Province this country has become THE tourist destination on in the Caribbean and Atlantic Ocean. Despite its location this is considered the richest country in the Caribbean. There are endless amounts of things to say about this country but we shall get into that soon. This is The Bahamas.

Lying of the south western coast of the Indian Subcontinent is an island group of pristine beauty. Where Buddhist and Muslim faiths have shaped the land and so has the European influence mainly from Britain. This country is one of the most truly and naturally beautiful places in the world. With a history as diverse as its islands this is sure to be a good one, this is the maldives

In the land of fire and ice lies a history that stretches back thousands of years. This country has seen people from all over the world influence its story, Gaelic Monks, Norwegian vikings, Danish Kings and more have all spent time in Iceland. This most northern capital in the world is in Iceland and so is  the rest of the  history, this is episode 26 and this is Iceland. 

In the gulf of Guinea lies a lesser known volcanic mountain range called the Cameroon range, upon this range is one of Africa's least populated countries. These two islands and the people on them have been a host to a vast history and a lot of culture. They have survived many things from colonization to natural disasters, this is Africas dual island duo, this is São Tomé and Príncipe.

The cradle of Polynesia, pro wrestling royalty and the home of The Rock, Samoa is a culturally rich place that has survived many ages of change and they still grow even today. This is a huge one and this is Samoa.
