Learn the tricks to identify exact locations from travel videos. From using AI tools to manual research techniques, find any place you see on social media.
You've seen that stunning beach, that incredible restaurant, that hidden viewpoint on TikTok or Instagram—but the creator didn't share the location. Sound familiar? Here's how to find the exact places from travel videos.
Check the Obvious Places First
- Video caption and hashtags
- Comments section (others may have asked)
- Creator's bio or link in bio
- Tagged location on the post
- Pinned comments from the creator
Use AI-Powered Detection
The fastest way to identify locations is using AI tools like Reelstrip. Our AI analyzes video content, audio, and captions to automatically detect and verify locations. Just paste the video URL, and we'll tell you where it is.
Manual Research Techniques
- 1Screenshot distinctive features (signs, architecture, landmarks)
- 2Reverse image search the screenshot on Google
- 3Search the creator's other content for more context
- 4Check Google Maps satellite view for visual matching
- 5Ask in travel-focused Reddit communities or Facebook groups
If a creator frequently doesn't share locations, they may be doing it intentionally to avoid overtourism. Respect their decision and look for creators who are transparent about locations.
When You Still Can't Find It
Some locations are genuinely hard to find, especially hidden gems and private properties. If you've exhausted all options, consider DMing the creator directly. Most are happy to share with genuine travelers, especially if you're polite about it.
