With summer well underway, maybe you need some travel inspiration. For that, we'll look at some of the best travel vloggers on YouTube—the people who inspire us to travel, and are fun to watch while they do it.
Matti Haapoja
Matti not only makes beautiful travel vlogs, but often makes each video a learning moment for his viewers. Whether it’s the best travel gear for a location, or filming techniques, you’ll always finish his videos feeling inspired. Now that he has started a family, his recent videos haven’t been travel-focused, but this is good news for aspiring filmmakers.
He now has more time to give his expert reviews on some of the newest camera tech and he continues to create useful tutorial videos that only get better with each release.
Johnny Harris
While Johnny is way more than a travel vlogger, traveling and exploring are at the heart of everything he does. He combines investigative journalism, dynamic filming and editing styles, with an obsession for map animations to create super engaging videos.
After working with Vox for many years he decided to take the leap into building his own YouTube channel to great success. He’s had a few videos go ultra viral, some of the stand-out videos include “The REAL Reason McDonalds Ice Cream Machines Are Always Broken” (well worth the watch, currently sitting at 10m views), NFTs, Explained, and a gripping personal story about why he left the Mormon church.
Drew Binsky
If there is a quintessential travel vlogger, Drew Binsky has to be in the running. He set out, and accomplished, a goal to travel to every country in the world and documented his journey along the way. Needless to say, a deep dive into his channel will take you all over the world.
Kristen & Siya
For those of you who are wondering if traveling is still possible once you start a family, this channel offers all the inspiration you need. From RV life, to tiny house living, all with a newborn and dog in tow, they offer a unique perspective that shows traveling is always possible!
Yes Theory
The guys from Yes Theory explain their whole philosophy best, “We believe that life's greatest moments and deepest connections exist outside your comfort zone.” With this in mind, their channel is full of some of the most inspiring and entertaining travel videos you’ll find on YouTube.
