The travel genre on YouTube is kind of a cess pool of rich white dudes making it all about them. Are there cool channels y’all can recommend that aren’t done by annoying people


Thanks,

Not exactly a travel vlog, since he is making videos about the country he lives in, but still interesting.

SimplyRailway is a cool channel where a French dude travels around the world taking long distance train trips. They're very relaxing, he almost never talks and allows the atmosphere to speak for itself while putting up extensive descriptive subtitles.

Mountain Trekker is an Indian dude vlogging his travels around the world, I kinda like his USA videos because it's cool to get an outsider's perspective on the country. His vids are in hindi but he usually has English subs available.

Lots of goons enjoy this guy. He is very unassuming/ non cynical. The "how not to travel across europe" and "straight line across wales" are fun series.

I've watched a lot of his videos and I enjoyed them. He certainly does seem to have rose tinted glasses for the Soviet era - though a lot of people who lived post-Stalin in the Perestroika era do as well, it was a better life in Russia then than now.

The last time I searched his name on youtube I got a dozen exposés on him before I got to his stuff.

Can you link a good one? I don't want to watch them all.

Sorry for the Reddit link below but Bald is literally a rapist who travels round promising all sorts of things to vulnerable young women in poor communities in their countries, using them for sex then leaving. He’s also the exact sort of oval office who gives lone travelling men a bad rep. The amount of times I’ve been asked if I’m a fan of this guy while travelling alone in Eastern Europe is mind blowing considering what a total piece of poo poo he is.

His whole crew is basically just scummy westerner sex tourism club.

Yeah, I just watched the Phat Memer video about him. Halfway through I was thinking, "This doesn't seem so bad. Putin is a paranoid maniac anyway..." Then I got to the pickup artist stuff. I really hope what I heard in that video isn't true - that Elenia is actually his girlfriend. She can do better.

Is there a travel vlog type thing where the host doesn't upsell absolutely everything they come across? This slum is so amazing, this foodstall is amazing, getting held up by law enforcement or militia or bribing their way out of a roadblock is just allways amazing experiences. Offcourse i dont want the scale to tip over to complete asshat either.

I like vlogs where peeps buys some car or vehicle, and they gotta sort it out and maintain it/limp it back home. Sometimes these stories are packed away behind their main garage type content.

Alot of the footage is done with voiceover rather than on the fly, and it can get a bit monotone.

Does a couple of these, buy car make run drives it home. Brings the wifey and pupper along. Some might feel the wifey is along for eye candy but so far it seems honest and above board.

Motorcycol! Might be another one of them rich white boys. I mean he splurged on a bike and kitted it out and spends a year or more touring America and currently Mexico.
But atleast he is multilingual and can talk to people he meets. Seems above board.

I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

Little Chinese Everywhere. The first season is her traveling from Switzerland back to China traveling mostly through countries that tourists don't visit, and in the second season she's traveling to different places in China. She's really fun and very unlikely to be a rapist.

idk a lot about travel youtube, but Mike Chen is fun to watch because he enjoys eating food so much and he makes everything looks so good, might be more food youtube territory, but that's because it's what I'm familiar with

I think she is Japanese, Australian born. Most of her stuff is day trips while her job sends her to various places. She doesn't talk nor does she go on cam. It is very much not about her and is about the food at cute cafes and cool sights.

Geowizard started as a Geoguessr channel but ended up getting massive after he started doing "Straight line missions". I guess its more adventure then travel but he is very good fun. His latest series was on how not to travel America.

Moreover he's a violent rapist from the UK and internet detectives have provided the court documents to prove it. This being the UK, there was enough evidence that he did something awful but not that he knew it was awful so the judge just told him off.

He's also convincingly linked to various MRA forums (along with frequent guest star Harald Baldr) where he talks about how to take advantage of women in poor countries.

To be less negative, I enjoy this guy!

https://www.youtube.com/daleroxxu?themeRefresh=1

He's a poker player who won big and now travels about vlogging. He's mostly about walking the long way round (TWO STRONG LEGS) chatting to people. Big mix of the main tourist sites and total off the trail wandering. Absolutely no instagram bullshit or sweeping drone shots set to autotuned holiday music.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I like the cruising the cut guy but I think he sold his boat and that guy was very very white (british)
