Flicking through an Atlas reading facts & figures [ASMR Maps]

In this relaxing ASMR maps video I am flicking through an atlas, reading facts and figures about different countries around the world, and doing some map tracing using a bamboo stick pointer. I will also ramble about history and geopolitics, so this is a geography lesson too!
DESCRIPTION
In this interesting ASMR video I am exploring the world using a paper map atlas. The video is calming and relaxing, hopefully helping you with sleep problems and insomnia. I am speaking in a male deep voice with a Welsh accent and switch between soft spoken and whisper voice. Today we look at Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Africa, Antarctica, the Arctic circle, Brazil, and the EU.
FEATURES
I hope you like this ASMR Geography and Map video! It contains tracing, whispers and some soft spoken parts with a Welsh accent.

Some comments to the currency part: 1) Croatia is a part of the eurozone since 2023, ditching the Kuna 2) Austria used to have schillings and Slovenia had tolars

Austrias currency was called Schilling. :)

Really nice video! Loved the "antartica being a desert" fact :) And fun fact too: the Amazon river is the biggest in the world if you consider volume of water

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

Thanks for the info! Love these types of comments!

[@PaulRamen]

I don't think there is a north hemisphere bias on world maps. (and Africa is mostly a northern hemisphere continent^^) It's just the closer to each pole the more stretched, the closer to the equator the more compressed Fun fact: about 9 in 10 people worldwide lives north of the equator

[@user-kv8ck7op3i]

Your consistency is great, interesting videos on a regular basis!

would be so cool if you make an asmr video "how to" kind of video for beginners who dont know how/have much knowledge on how to read maps. Ive become 100X more interested in wanting to learn to read maps and maps over-all since finding your channel and watching your videos!

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

I referenced this in the video I recorded for next week. I'll add it into my videos from now on for you. :D

Maybe do a video on Wisconsin! Milwaukee/Madison are good cities to look at :)

I think the arctic circle is that 3rd faint ring - 1.5 lines out from where you pointed. It’s a faint label above the word Siberia on one side and Canada on the other. 41:27

I think you could try making a video playing around in the true size website it might be fun! Anyway keep up the good content 👍

I know that there's a well-known publishing house in the UK and in the world as well. I'm about penguin books, I especially adore cloutbound series by its cover. So I'd like to know whether you have any local shops in your city or in another place in Wales. And what do you think about this publishing house at all? Thanks for your feedback in advance

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

Penguin are fantastic. We don't have many independent bookshops in Wales but Penguin books are the best and are sold everywhere

Hello from your local Geordie, I love this type of ASMR. Interestingly makes me sad kinda, might sound silly but I often wish the Scottish border wall moved past Newcastle/Wearside or that we could have our own mini gov lol. The neglect and poverty is gettin really bad. Ps Your accent is also lush 👌

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

My fav accent in the UK is the Geordie one, it's perfect! I hear you, it's almost like the North doesn't exist to those in London...

[@FizzyJuiceCool]

As a Scottish person with Northern English family I would happily annex the North of England yes

28:06 the book says the name of this statistic is "wealth" but the definition provided is actually annual income (formally, "Gross Domestic Product per capita"). Assuming the map is colored according to GDP per capita, I believe it is more or less accurate. Converting GDP per capita to US dollars is a common convention to compare countries with different currencies, but there are multiple ways to do it, primarily depending on whether you just use market exchange rates or you adjust for the relative cost of living. So you can look up three different sources of GDP per capita for the same countries and same years and end up with slightly different results. The one statistic that stands out as wrong is that they list Luxembourg as having a GDP per capita of $73,910, but all sources I checked report it as the richest country in Europe, with GDP per capita exceeding $100K.

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

Ah, thanks for the explanation!

Hello good job ❤

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

Hey, thanks!

[@devoiddead]

does any of you know why most african countries have rather more simple and straight borders compared to others? im geniunely curious.

[@RasRoK]

Most African countries were colonized by European countries such as France, Great Britain, etc. When it came to defining borders between colonies, they did not bother much and made them straight, which often led to interethnic conflicts, because minerals were found in the territories. I am Russian and the message was written through a translator, sorry for the mistakes.

Ireland is poor mate. Safe haven for corporations to make money. Tax free. Irish people are on the dole and living in poverty. Everyone knows this. I was born in US. First generation. It breaks my heart because I know I can’t afford to move to my homeland in my lifetime

[@WelshASMR82Maps]

Yet everything there is so expensive! Dublin is outrageously so. Such a pity, the Irish are bloody lovely people.
