Jorden Tually takes the flat-country challenge to the Maldives

A viewer's geography prompt sends the travel creator from a high-rise lookout to a sandbar, with a business-class upgrade along the way.

Flying to the FLATTEST Country in the World

From a high-rise observation deck, Jorden Tually can rule out his starting point immediately. A viewer has asked him to fly to the world's flattest country. "Well, it's definitely not here," he says, before opening his laptop to find somewhere much closer to sea level.

The destination is the Maldives. His Short, "Flying to the FLATTEST Country in the World", has drawn roughly 230,000 views in 16 hours, an unusually fast start for his channel's Shorts.

Getting there involves a long layover and an unexpected free upgrade to business class. Before he reaches the flat landscape, Tually gets to lie flat himself, stretching out in his airplane seat. The arrival brings an island runway surrounded by turquoise water, followed by a beachside reveal of the destination.

In the comments, the geography guessing game continues. Several viewers had expected the Netherlands, with Denmark and Singapore also coming up. Maldivian viewers offer welcomes, while another suggests making the tallest country his next assignment.

The Maldives isn't new territory for the channel's catalog: Tually published "HOW TO TRAVEL THE MALDIVES ON A BUDGET" in 2018. This visit has a different brief, ending with an overhead shot of him stretched starfish-style on a narrow sandbar, with sea on either side.
