20 OF THE BEST BRITISH TRAVEL VLOGGERS & VIDEOGRAPHERS

Update July 2023 – this page was getting so many hits for folk looking for general UK travel vloggers that I thought it was about time to include both male and female vloggers in this list. So from 9 of the best male travel vloggers, you’ve now got over 20 to choose from 🙂

With the rise of TikTok, and the introduction of Threads, video content continues to take over the web. Brands, travel vloggers and social networks are strapped in for what will be an amazing journey for travel video content.

For a guy that used a GoPro for many of his first vlogging content, my own videos have come on leaps and bounds. A few years ago I wouldn’t have deemed YouTube to be an important channel for me, but over 100 videos and 5 years later, I’m proud to say video sits front and centre of my approach to vlogging, and I can happily call myself a UK travel vlogger.

In fact, YouTube is now my most engaged social platform.

But enough about me, here’s the list of British travel vloggers to check out.

UK TRAVEL VLOGGERS

Caveat – at travel events I am often asked ‘ Where are all the UK male travel vloggers? ‘. In a sector that seems to be dominated by female writers, creators and vloggers, it’s almost as if male travel vloggers are difficult to find and don’t exist.

Well, aside from the two big names of Louis Cole and Mr Ben Brown , I have good news – there are now quite few of us out there, and we’re all keen to work with brands, either individually, or collectively 🙂

FEMALE VLOGGERS:

Chloe Gunning – Wanderlust Chloe

Vicky Philpott – VickyFlipFlop

Ellie Quinn – The Wandering Quinn

Steph Parker – Big World Small Pockets

Mollie Bylett – Where’s Mollie?

There are so many brilliant UK travel bloggers…

I feel like we don’t get the recognition or klout of our American friends who shout their successes from the rooftops.

So, I’m here to highlight some of the best UK travel blogs for you to plan your trip by. Let’s look at the best travel blogs, UK style. Think of this as my travel blog awards, to the best UK travel bloggers (IMO).

There are a few other lists out there, featuring the best UK travel influencers , but I’ve met almost each and every one of these British travel bloggers personally. I can totally vouch for their skills, their personalities and their outlook, AND their dedication.

This article will introduce you to some of the top UK travel blogs. Whether you’re looking for UK travel bloggers to follow, work with or keep an eye on – these are the best.

List of the best UK travel influencers

All the top UK travel bloggers are based in the UK, not necessarily from here.

So, in no particular order of best UK travel blogs, here goes…

The Top UK Travel Bloggers

Read on for the best UK travel blogs in the WORLD. Some of these UK travel bloggers would call themselves ‘influencers’, others, ‘writers’, but I like to say ‘UK travel content creators’.

1. Victoria Philpott from Vicky Flip Flop Travels

That’s me!

It might look like I’m here there and everywhere but I am actually based in the UK. You know me, I blog about festivals, holidays and making the most of your time off.

I’ve recently set up a new England travel blog at Day Out in England . I hope it will become the best UK blog out there!

“Travel and festival blogger | Holidays make me happy | Love life; especially exploring, music, London + breakfast.”

 “Whether it’s travelling on a shoestring or splashing the cash to see the world, travel writer Victoria Philpott reports back on her adventures in the hope of giving her readers the confidence and knowledge to embark on their own. She’s a full time traveller now, visiting some of the world’s most interesting destinations and coolest festivals to inspire you to make the most of your annual leave.””

2. Helen Davies from Helen in Wonderlust

I first met Helen at a travel blogging conference in Dublin and by the end of our first drink together we had a mutual appreciation for one another. That shouldn’t sound weird if it does.

Helen used to work at Kelloggs but wasn’t responsible for the Choco Krispies / Coco Pops renaming debacle, which was my first question.

Now she runs tours in Africa with her company Rock My Adventure Tours , and lives there half of the year. Her travel blog Helen in Wonderlust , is the leading course of info on backpacking Africa. You can find out more about Helen in the podcast chat I had with her. I’ve also travelled to Malawi, Zimbabwe and Zambia with Helen, and most recently, went camping in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland with her.

One of the most fun travel bloggers in the UK!

“Liverpool based Travel Blogger, Mischief Maker. Loves Africa, Live Music and Adventure. Proud Auntie.”

“Helen Davies is a an adventurer, part-time traveller and full-time Africa lover. Not one to do things by halves, Helen can usually be found on or planning an epic trip. Having spent a year in Africa, she’s keen to encourage others to explore her favourite continent. She writes about her travels (in Africa and elsewhere), and about the people she meets along the way on her blog.”

3. Paul & Karen from Global Help Swap

Karen and Paul are brilliant.

Together with me, Jen and Alicia we form the originally Midlands consortium of UK travel bloggers. They’ve recently set up house down London way though they’re well-known for their worldwide house sitting skills.

If you want a laugh, and a good story, get some Global Help Swap in your life. I’ve been to Costa Rica with Paul on a press trip, and had an amazing time at two years of Glastonbury with them too.

“Responsible, Local and Authentic Travel. Real Travel, Real Experiences. Tips for memorable and meaningful travel.”

“Paul and Karen have visited over 50 countries and are certainly not tired of travelling yet. A recent trip to Mexico was a pleasant encounter with fun loving, generous Mexicans and a few cervezas. When they are not on the move, you can find them deep in a good book with a bottle of red wine close at hand.”

[email protected]

4. Emily Luxton from EmilyLuxton.co.uk

Emily is great fun and one of my favourite travel bloggers to travel with. She’s an excellent photographer and writer, and loves to get the most out of every trip she goes on. She’s so passionate about travel and often goes off on multi-month adventures, most recently to Central America.

Emily Luxton Travels claims she’s a shy girl who found herself travelling, but usually when I see her she’ll be making friends with a glass of wine in her hand. And I see her quite a lot as we’ve lived together for three years now. We’ve had a lot of adventures together – including paddle boarding in Hampshire , in Trentino and in Chang Mai in Thailand too.

“Award winning full-time travel blogger and solo traveller championing deeper travel. Blogging about adventure, food, and personal development through travel.”

“In a nutshell, my travel style is  Deep Travel . That means travelling slower when possible, and travelling intelligently. My mission is to  get to know the world;  not just travel it all or see it all, but to try to understand it as much as possible – and have some fun doing it!  I blog mainly about culture, food, art, people, and landscapes … always focusing on connecting with a new place as deeply and honestly as I can.”

5. Dan from DanFlyingSolo

Dan is absolutely one of my favourite travel buddies and UK bloggers. His photography is incredible and I love the videos he makes too.

Dan lives in Portugal and the UK, in between jetting off around the world. He loves a goat, an adventure, and an opportunity to try something new.

Last year we went skiing for the first time , for him, and although it didn’t go to plan, he stayed positive and did what he does best instead – took photos and made a video.

“Happiest lost with a camera | Travel photographer, writer + blogger | Flag of Portugal Immigrant | Flag of United Kingdom Born | @lonelyplanet ambassador”

“I’m obsessed with exploring the world, meeting amazing people (and goats) and getting as lost as possible with my camera. I was on the road for 1467 days between 2014 – 2018, taking a chance on changing my career from restaurants to capturing the world and somehow it all worked out…”

6. Jen Lowthrop from She Gets Around

Me and Jen go way back, in travel blogger terms. Now she’s one of my favourite people in the UK travel blogger world – we’ve had some great times in London, Porto and Brighton at various conferences.

She’s all about the volunteering, and the dating, and is a great person to talk to to chew the fat with too.

We had a great summer trip sailing in Croatia one year, and she’s another one in the Glastonbury crew .

“Travel blogger on a journey to find my element, through  #travel , adventure, writing, drama, food, love and community.”

“For Jenny, there is nowhere too typical, too outrageous, too hot or too cold to travel to. From a tranquil walk around the Taj Mahal to a nine-month trek across Asia to a hectic but momentous 48-hour bus ride in Northern India, she travels for the people and the stories. The unparalleled experiences, rare moments and genuine human connections feed her passion for exploration, which is hinged on learning cultures, eating exotic delicacies like sugar-fried crickets and living like a local wherever she goes. Jenny says she loves the world too much to let time go by without her next adventure planned.”

7. Monica Stott from The Travel Hack

Monica is brilliant, and one of the UK’s top travel bloggers. She’s got three beautiful children and life up in Chester somewhere and one of those French bulldog dogs that people like too.

Her top UK blog all about the stylish travel and I don’t know anyone who enjoys Twitter chats more than her. We used to work together in social media what seems like an age ago, but now we just talk a lot on Facebook Messenger instead.

She has one of the best blogs UK has to offer.

We’ve been to the Florida Keys together , to Levi in Finland and many, many UK travel blogger conferences too.

“Travel blogger with a love for adventure. Top 10 UK travel blog.”

“”Monica is a full time blogger and one of the UK’s top 10 travel bloggers. She runs  The Travel Hack , a blog about stylish adventure travel and will soon be blogging about travelling with a baby as she’s expecting her first child. Monica began blogging in 2009 when she travelled around Asia and Australia for 2 years. She studied to become a journalist but got swept up in the big, bad world of blogging and never left.”

8. Emily Ray from The Cosy Traveller

Isn’t she lovely hey?

Emily is a sweetheart and is enjoying her lovely life with the help of a good brew and with the presence of an animal now and then. I just went on her blog to find her social media details and for her latest post she’s photoshopped her face onto someone holding a koala. That’s just the way she rolls over on The Cosy Traveller.

Emily is definitely one of my favourite UK travel bloggers.

“Travel blogger and content writer. I blog about comfort, tea and animals all over the world.”

“Emily Ray is a London-based copywriter who seeks to make the most of weekends and her annual leave to explore everything the world has to offer. After completing her journalism studies, Emily re-launched her blog The Cosy Traveller in June 2014, which focuses on everything that makes her happy, including animals, tea and luxury. She’s also a published travel writer, with work appearing in TNT, Time Out and Flight Centre’s online blog.”

9. Chloe Gunning from Wanderlust Chloe

Chloe is great. We’ve been skiing in France together, and lived it up on St Kitts where we drank so many rum cocktails I’m pretty sure we were sick of them by the end of the week.

Anyway, her blog is awesome and she’s an ambassador for Lonely Planet and Visit England, and probably other stuff I don’t know about too. She used to work as a producer with Emma Bunton – Baby Spice!

“Travel blogger, creative producer, foodie and adventurer showing you the world. Happiest when holding a mojito! Regular Lonely Planet + Metro contributor.” wanderlustchloe.com

Based: London

10. Macca Sherifi from An Adventurous World

Macca and I used to work together too, with Monica. Oh the FUN we had. He’s a good friend, and I especially enjoy his company after we’ve both had a little drinky drinky.

Last time I went out with him he was singing McFly songs at full volume at the bar. As for being a blogger, he’s super passionate about his work, and seeing the world. His photography and video skills are amazing. He’s one of the top UK travel vloggers.

We haven’t ever actually travelled together – need to rectify that.

“Travel blogger | Photographer | Presenter. Capturing the world one destination at a time. Warning: Will do anything for adventure!” anadventurousworld.com

11. Lloyd and Yaya from Hand Luggage Only

Lloyd and Yaya were crowned Vuelio’s Travel Bloggers of the Year in 2017 & 18 . Meaning, they’ve actually got the highest views of any travel blogger in the UK. Their blog is AMAZING. It’s the fun and the photography that makes it so good.

They’re two of the best people I know and after our awesome weekend in Hamburg together, I just think they’re both brilliant. They deserve every success they have. Think they should probably sit down and take a rest though – travel much?

Theirs is the most popular travel blog in the UK!

“Travel & photography blog by Yaya & Lloyd | Lovers of travel | Dance ninjas extraordinaire | Will travel for cake.” handluggageonly.co.uk

12. Jess Gibson from The Travelista

Jess looks incredible wherever she goes and whatever she does. I love seeing what she’s wearing around the world – pretty sure her Canada trip was some of her best outfits.

Her UK blog isn’t just all about fashion though, her travel tips for England, Europe, the US and her Asian adventures will help you travel in style. Jess has just welcomed her son Theo into the world and I’m so excited to see her embrace their journeys together.

We had a great time on a Princess Cruise press trip together.

13. Shu Lin from DejaShu

I love Shu. She’s a ball of energy and fun, yet really knows her stuff when it comes to travel and food too. I’ve learned a lot from her, especially about air fryers.

Shu doesn’t actually have a blog, as she’s a YouTuber and Instagrammer but I couldn’t write a list of the best UK travel influencers without her. She’s also a BBC star with a documentary about Chinese food in England that you need to check out.

“British-Born Chinese 📷: sharing meals and life stories 🍜: London based food + travel vlogger and presenter 💌: [email protected] 👇🏽: youtube.com/dejashu 📍: #london

“Dejashu is a visual diary of each chapter of my life and celebrates all the things that I love in life: food, travel and those seemingly little moments that end up leaving the deepest memories.” YouTube |  Instagram |  Twitter | Facebook Email: hello(@)dejashu.com

14.  Abi King from Inside the Travel Lab

As one of the most well known and experienced on this list of UK based travel bloggers Abi has been featured in the likes of Grazia, Conde Nast, the BBC and Stylist Magazine. Ooo, the blogger did good. And once upon a time she was a doctor, which explains all the ‘lab’ influence. Just realised she’d be a great person to go on a press trip with, what with all that medical knowledge.

“ Travel writer and photographer who swapped a career as a doctor for a life on the road…Exploring unusual journeys…”

“Abigail King is an experienced journalist and photographer who works with both print and online media. She has circled the globe twice, camped in the snows of Kilimanjaro and Patagonia and tracked down tigers, turtles and panda bears. She’s then had a hot shower and embraced the city life of New York, Rio, Paris and Tokyo. Her work has appeared in Lonely Planet, the BBC, CNN, National Geographic’s Intelligent Travel, France Today, easyJet Traveller, The Huffington Post and more. She’s also written countless city and regional guides.”

15. Eulanda & Omo from Hey! Dip Your Toes In

Eulanda and Omo like to describe themselves as your ‘everyday kind of couple’ but I’ve met them and they’re way cooler than that.

They enjoy discovering the stories behind the stories of the people they meet and the places they visit. They say that thanks to their travels they’re always building on their identity and they want to inspire their readers to explore themselves through travel too.

Eulanda & Omo Osagiede are London-based freelance writers and award-winning social influencers who run the popular travel, food, and lifestyle blog HDYTI (Hey! Dip your toes in).

Julie’s also got a travel planning business, if you need.

She’s one of the top travel bloggers in the UK and has one of the best blogs about travel.

Arianwen is an original member of The Travel Chicks but left to go and explore South America for a year. Then she came back, lasted a few months, and went travelling round New Zealand. She’s now in London but the last time we went for a few glasses of red wine, I could tell her feet were definitely getting itchy. I’ll give her a few months before she’s off again on another #scaredbritless adventure (her #, can’t take the credit!).

“Adventure travel blogger, marathon runner and professional editor. Enjoys photography, travel literature and high-adrenaline activities.”

“Arianwen Morris is the publisher of the travel blog Beyond Blighty – a collection of anecdotes, tips and advice for the independent and adventurous budget traveller.

23. Alicia Drewnicki from Alicia Explores

I’d say Alicia would be the number one call if you’re looking for someone to present something – a TV show, awards, podcast – anything. I first met Alicia when she had to interview me for a Jack Wills Adventure Travel night in store. We hit it off right away and always have a good laugh together when we hang out. Love her.

24. Char Taylor from Taylor Hearts Travel

If you don’t follow Char’s weekly competition update you’re missing out. I’m pretty sure I won my upcoming September Cuba trip by entering one of the competitions on her page, although I can’t be sure. I love the design of Char’s blog, and the content too. If you’re looking for a UK travel blog with a realistic idea of what it’s like to travel with children, you need Char.

25. Victoria & Steve from Bridges and Balloons

Victoria and Steve are a dream team. They run their blog alongside their passions, for Victoria that’s her charity work and for Steve it’s his Planetary Collective film, shown at SXSW.

It’s thanks to them that I visited one of my favourite places, San Pancho in Mexico, last year.

They’re such lovely people on their blog and off, I hope I get to be like them one day. Two of the loveliest UK travel bloggers you’ll find!

Top 5 British Travel Bloggers

Of course,  this list of top UK travel bloggers is my opinion , based on who I’ve met, worked with and heard about. If you want a scientific calculation of the best travel blogs in the UK, check out this blog directory from Gary Arndt .

He’s one of the world’s top travel bloggers and looks at many different stats to come up with his list from all around the world. When I last checked, in April 2020 these were the top 5 UK travel blogs …

1. A Luxury Travel Blog (he has 100s of writers, so I don’t consider it a blog for this list of best UK blogs, but Gary does).

2. Hand Luggage Only

3. The Travel Hack

5. Abi, Inside the Travel Lab

29. Kat Burrington from Travel with Kat

Kat and I went to Gambia together back in December 2012 on a press trip. She’s part of the Travelator Media group, a group of mature UK travel bloggers aged 40+ ready to create content. Kat writes about sustainable travel and human rights, among other topics, and has won the AITO Responsible Tourism Award for her work in Gambia.

“Travel photographer, writer & blogger. Co-founder @TravelatorMedia. @ PlanUK Digital Ambassador.

Travel with Kat began in 2011 but Kat has always been a travel writer and beauty lover. She received her first camera at the age of 10 and, since that moment, she’s never abandoned it. Through her blog she’d like to share with readers the joy of discovering new lands, cultures and friends whether exploring Britain (her homeland) or on her travels many miles away.

30. Jodie Young from The Little Backpacker

I went to the Gold Coast with Jodie as she won a competition with my old work gapyear.com. I was responsible for chauffeuring her and the other two winners around, except the hilly route was so windy and scary I decided it would be much better left to Jodie. She saved my bacon.

Really like Jodie, she’s got a great life attitude and her blog is both informative and fun, love your work. And yeah, she’s actually really little.

“Small and Adventurous Travel Blogger. Student in London. Lover of photography, travel, roadtrips, ice cream & the ocean.”

“The Little Backpacker is a travel blog about adventurous and budget travel. Follow along for advice on travelling on a budget, tips for taking a gap year/working abroad and lots of pretty pictures to inspire you.” Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest |  YouTube Email

31. Paul Dow from Trav Monkey

Paul is a straight talking Manc who knows how to make a beautiful video. His site is a platform for all bloggers to submit content with him looking over it all. It was actually on here that I wrote my first guest post, under the ‘VickyFlipFlop’ guise.

Paul is also responsible for the awesome Traverse events, along with Micheal Ball too.

Interesting fact for you; I once threw a caipirinha in his face after a misunderstanding. He’s never let me forget it (definitely deserved it).

“Pro Travel Blogger, YouTube creator. Have a wallet full of strange currency.”

“TravMonkey has been going for around 8 years and first started when Paul was half way through a 2 year stint of travel around the world. These days he covers his travels and London life with a focus on the quirky and adventurous.”

32. Simon Heyes from Simon’s Jam Jar

Simon Heyes, what a guy. Even though he pipped me to the post to go to Papua New Guinea and be their blog ambassador, I still like him.

We’ve had some great nights out at travel events in London together and he’s very entertaining. He recently, actually I think it was a while ago now, did the 24 Peaks Challenge in 24 hours to raise money for a charity close to his heart. He’s one of my absolute favourite English travel bloggers, although I feel like I’m saying that about everyone now.

33. Ed Rex from Rexy Edventures

I know Ed from the London blogger meet ups. He lived in London, then he didn’t, then he did, didn’t, and now he’s back again. We travel bloggers just can’t make our minds up – so much world to explore. Visit his blog and expect to see lots of photos of him in tiny shorts on beaches.

“Ed Rex writes about RTW Budget Travel, Deafness and British Backpacking, and Goofy Travel. He loves hats, hates slugs and above all, is passionate about travel.”

34. Sarah Toyin

I loved reading Sarah’s articles about Korea, having had a flying visit there for a week. She spent two years there and so has that great insider knowledge that can only come from actually living in a place.

As well as South Korea, Sarah is a fountain of knowledge on Ghana. If you’re planning in travelling there then check it out. Here videos are great too!

35. Sophie Collard

Sophie has a few different projects in the pipeline (don’t we all) but she’s best known for her trainspotting and her love of death tourism. Yes. Known across all the social media as ‘SophonTrack’ Sophie will do all she can to avoid taking a plane anywhere – very eco, well done.

She also runs the TravelDarkly site with a friend which focuses on this strange obsession people seem to have with visiting devastation sites. From haunted pubs to old operating theatre museums, she’ll have covered it.

“Travel writer and copywriter. Social media type. Ride trains and blog about them. Write about macabre destinations over at traveldarkly.com “

“A train travel expert and pioneer of using social media in the community (she was responsible for #riotcleanup), Sophie On Track has written about her travels for The Sunday Times and TNT Magazine.”

37. Flora Baker from Flora the Explorer

Flora is one of life’s good people. She’s so lovely and travels in a way that reflects what’s important to her. I was gripped as she travelled South America, learning Spanish and meeting people as she explored. She’s now based in London and is planning on walking the Camino de Santiago this year.

As well as being one of the top British travel bloggers Flora is also an author – I’ve read the Adult Orphan Club , and although it’s super sad and I dread the day I’ll actually need to read it again, it’s a super useful resource for anyone who’s lost their parents.

“British traveller, blogger & freelance writer. Left handed Latinophile. Perpetual story searcher.”

“‘Flora the Explorer’ is a place for aspiring travellers, avid volunteers and those who want to explore the world through meaningful interaction with local people and their cultures. Over the last six years the site’s founder and writer, Flora Baker, has lived in Florence and San Francisco, worked in India and Iceland, volunteered in Nepal and Lithuania, and more recently, spent eighteen months attempting to become fluent in Spanish while journeying around South America. Through the site’s stories and photographs about her long-term, slow travel experiences, Flora evokes the sense of adventure and curiosity we all have – both for the world itself, and our place within it.”

She has one of the best UK travel sites on the internet.

Best Travel Vloggers and YouTubers to Follow in 2024

As a travel vlogger myself, I may be biased but I think that travel vloggers provide a captivating insight into the world of travel and adventure. You can explore destinations from the comfort of your sofa and get endlessly inspired for your next trips.

The visual storytelling that video content allows for is perfect for travel. I think it’s an amazing way to discover new and unique perspectives on travel.

Travel videos resonate with aspiring adventurers in a way that can be difficult with written content.

Plus, it’s a great way of getting to know a creator and the face behind a travel blog . I love that travel vlogs provide a more personal approach that combines an informative experience with wonderful creativity.

To help you discover the best travel content out there, I have compiled a list of the top travel vloggers and YouTubers for the most engaging travel video content.

I’ve included sections on solo female travellers, family travel vloggers, British travel vloggers, and travel couples. 

From personality-led travel vlogs to stunning cinematic masterpieces, here is my pick of the best travel vloggers and YouTubers to follow in 2024.

Author Bio: Jessie Moore

Jessie Moore is a luxury travel expert with years of experience travelling the world to find the best destinations, hotels and adventures.

Top travel vloggers

Fearless and far.

Mike Corey is the man behind adventure travel vlog, Fearless and Far . I love that he journeys to weird and wonderful destinations, which are far away from the mainstream.

It is a wonderfully creative vlog that encourages people to face their fears to travel the world.

Mike approaches travel and life as an extreme sport. The results are wild, unique, and downright crazy travel experiences. His travel vlogs are a rollercoaster of adventure and adrenaline-fuelled travel.

Drew Binsky

Drew Binsky is an American travel vlogger and Youtube documentary maker. His travel vlog has a heavy focus on discovering and celebrating the various cultures across the world.

Telling unique stories of the communities and culture behind every location, he brings his viewers daily travel videos.

In a refreshing approach to travel vlogging, Drew puts a spotlight on sociopolitical issues, including human rights, gay and transgender acceptance, and challenging racial and religious stereotypes.

He wants to bust the myth that the world is unsafe, inspiring other people to travel and widen their perspective of the world; which I think is an admirable goal.

As if that wasn’t enough, Drew often features amazing special guests on his channel too.

Nadine Sykora is a seasoned globetrotter who brings an impossibly fun and positive energy to her travel content.

I think her energy is genuinely infectious, adding an optimistic and lively dimension to travel and adventure.

It’s this approach that elevates her storytelling, inspiring young people to travel. Her videos are helpful and informative, from packing guides to handy travel hacks.

Hey Nadine is therefore a great resource for aspiring young adventurers.

Sam Kolder is a Canadian adventurer and creator of exceptional travel videos. As a seriously talented travel filmmaker, Kolder’s videos are nothing short of cinematic masterpieces.

Kold is a channel for high quality travel content, as well as some educational videos for aspiring filmmakers.

In his travel videos, you’ll discover engaging storytelling and the best transitions you’ve ever seen. Kolder is also known for his incredible drone shots and a habit for backflipping off tall structures.

Videos are few and far between but, trust me, they are always worth the wait. My favourite travel video of all time is Kold’s Hey Tim :

Lost LeBlanc

Christian LeBlanc is another Canadian adventurer. His unwavering passion for travel shines through his well executed videos on his YouTube channel, Lost LeBlanc .

He has created a dedicated community of like-minded travellers as a result. I love that LeBlanc encourages his viewers to step out of their comfort zones in the pursuit of adventure and global discovery.

He offers a lot of resources to other aspiring travel filmmakers and photographers, teaching both the creative and business side of the travel vlogging sphere.

Formerly known as Migrationology, Mark Wien’s travel vlog is one for the foodies. He believes that food is the reason you should travel and believe me when I say that his dribble-worthy videos strongly support this claim!

His content combines incredible food discoveries with highly watchable travel experiences.

Mark is based in Thailand with his wife, but he frequently travels all over the world trying amazing food from various different countries and cultures.

He is constantly on the hunt for local delicacies and mouth-watering meals.

Phil Good Travel

In the Phil Good Travel vlog , Phil Calvert travels across Europe sprinkling positivity everywhere he goes. His aim is to promote solidarity between all backgrounds, races, and upbringings.

Given that black travellers are frequently the minority in Europe, Phil has set out to create a community of black travellers in this part of the world.

I love that he brings open-mindedness and optimism to his travel videos, and his enthusiasm is truly infectious.

Sorelle Amore

Sorelle is a quirky bundle of energy with a huge and infectious smile.

Her YouTube channel offers more than just travel, whether it’s home updates or ‘Advanced Selfie’ photography tips. In short, she wants to inspire confidence and creativity.

Her videos feel very authentic, with none of the superficial or forced feel that you sometimes get with other vloggers. Sorelle is constantly striving to be a better human, and tries to inspire others to do the same.

She recently moved to Iceland, so if you love Iceland content (who doesn’t!) then you’ll love some of her latest videos.

Solo female travel vloggers

Brooke saward.

A travel vlogger from Tasmania, Brooke Saward aims to inspire young people to travel more, and to feel more confident travelling solo.

Brooke documents her travels on her YouTube channel in a way that feels authentic and accessible. A popular blogger, vlogger, author, and adventurer.

Eva zu Beck

Eva zu Beck is an adventure traveller and solo female explorer. On her YouTube channel Eva explores less visited destinations which are not commonly seen in mainstream travel media.

Whether it’s visiting Aleppo and Damascus in Syria, hiking the K2 base camp in Pakistan, or trekking alone through Mongolia.

Eva aims to tell the stories of those people, communities, and cultures that you don’t normally see or have access to. She encourages people to push themselves out of their comfort zones.

A truly inspiring solo female traveller and one of my personal favourites.

I Am Aileen

Aileen Adalid is a travel vlogger from the Philippines. She did what many of us dream of doing: she quit her corporate job at 21 to travel the world.

Aileen shows her viewers how to travel the world as a digital nomad, inspiring her community of travel dreamers to do the same.

On her channel, I Am Aileen , you’ll find beautiful travel videos which are packed full of tips and tricks. I love that she also shows you how to live a sustainable travel lifestyle.

Jennelle Eliana

Known as the woman who lives in a van with her pet snake, Jennelle Eliana’s YouTube channel exploded within a matter of weeks. Her travel vlog has a light-hearted feel with a strong focus on sustainability.

All her videos are shot and edited on her iPhone. I think hte lower production values of her videos provide a more authentic portrayal of van life.

She addresses the less glamorous sides of travel and I love that it doesn’t feel as curated or manufactured.

Oneika the Traveller

A thrill-seeker and travel junkie, Oneika Raymond is dedicated to inspiring people of colour to travel the world and live outside of their comfort zone. She inspires through education and engaging storytelling.

Oneika is not just a successful travel vlogger. She is also an award-winning writer, journalist, and keynote speaker – having spoken at the Women in Travel Summit and Women’s Travel Fest. 

Pocket Wanderings

Okay this is a shameless self-promotion but it would be remiss of me not to include my own YouTube channel in this list!

I’m still relatively new to travel blogging but I’m hoping to grow my YouTube community moving forwards. On my channel you’ll find solo travel tips, luxury travel inspiration and hotel reviews.

Family travel vloggers

The bucket list family.

The Gee family started out when they sold everything and left home to travel around the world to become Family Travel Journalists.

The Bucket List Family travel vlog documents their many adventures and travels across the world.

They describe themselves as “just your ‘average’ family”, playing on the fact that most people wouldn’t consider their adventure-fuelled family life to be ‘average’ at all.

I’m sure that the Gee family will certainly make you question whether settling down is the best way to approach family life!

Hopscotch the Globe

Hopscotch the Globe is run by travel couple, Kristen and Siya. Until recently, they would have fallen into the travel couple section – but now they have a daughter and a dog, they are fully fledged family adventurers.

Their aim is to inspire couples and families to travel more. The couple share travel tips, destination guides, food adventures, and tiny home living on their channel.

I find their videos to be funny, entertaining, and genuinely helpful.

Wolter’s World

The Wolter’s World channel is a great destination for honest travel advice. It comprises a family of four who have lived, studied, worked, and travelled across the world.

Wolter addresses the best and the worst parts of travelling to help his viewers be better prepared.

In sharing honest perspectives, Wolter provides helpful insights into the culture and people of the places he visits.

He has a preference for showing this more realistic side of travel – rather than fancy drone shots and backflips of cliffs. There are new videos every Wednesday and Saturday.

The Makepeace family consists of Caz, Craig, Kalyra, and Savannah. They are on a mission to prove that travel does not have to stop after children.

They have travelled the world nomadically since 1997, so trust me when I say that these guys really know what they’re talking about.

Having travelled solo, as a couple, as expats, as digital nomads, in an RV, and as a family, they bring multiple viewpoints to the travel experience.

Their videos help fellow travel lovers unplug from the chaos, travel more, and create better memories – all with kids in tow.

British travel vloggers

Fun for louis.

Louis Cole is a popular British travel vlogger, recognised by his signature dreadlocks.

He’s also partial to a backflip in wonderful and remote locations. The Fun For Louis channel brings upbeat and charismatic video content.

Louis is a non-stop adventurer, creating daily vlogs – so there is a lot of content to get stuck into. You’ll find a whole variety of creative content and fun adventures on Louis’ travel vlog.

It’s exciting, entertaining, and engaging.

Mr Ben Brown

A talented photographer and filmmaker, Ben Brown documents his travels to far-flung destinations. As a result of his engaging content, Ben has achieved wide acclaim for his YouTube content.

Ben is also a professional athlete, as a two-time world champion kayaker. He is energetic and optimistic, which I think shines through his travel content.

Psycho Traveller

Birmingham-born Aly is a digital nomad who has built an online community of fellow travel lovers. The ‘psycho part’ of Psycho Traveller comes from the fact that Aly is a Psychology graduate. 

I love that Aly provides raw, honest commentary in her content, as well as helpful tips and tricks. She aims to inspire everyone – of all ages and backgrounds – to live the life they want to live.

She is also a best-selling author and public speaker.

Couple travel vloggers

The planet d.

An endearing adventure couple, Dave and Deb live by the motto ‘adventure is for everyone’. They are a refreshing change from the ‘perfect’ travel couples you see plastered all over Instagram.

The aim of Planet D is to inspire everyone to seek adventure – you don’t have to be young, fit and rich to travel. 

Their videos provide valuable information and unique experiences for anyone looking to live a more adventure-fuelled life.

Sailing La Vagabonde

Sailing La Vagabonde is run by Australian couple Riley Whitelum and Elayna Carausu. It all started with a dream of circumnavigating the globe by sailboat – with no previous sailing experience!

Riley and Elayna share video content around their seafaring experiences, including useful information for those looking to start sailing.

They inspire others to live an alternative lifestyle and also hope to raise ocean awareness. Now they have a baby in tow, so there’s a new and exciting dimension to their travels!

Kara and Nate

Kara and Nate are high school sweethearts who have been travelling the world full-time for five years. They started with a goal of travelling to 100 countries – which they have since achieved and surpassed!

The travel couple embark on all kinds of adventures – from hiking Everest Base Camp to taking the Trans-Siberian Railway.

You can also find a number of resources on travel hacking, YouTube, and entrepreneurship on their blog.

The Endless Adventure

Eric and Allison embody the classic story of leaving steady jobs to pursue a life of travel as digital nomads.

Their YouTube channel, The Endless Adventure , offers a tantalising combination of travel, food, and adventure – all of the best things in life!

I think this is a great channel for travel foodies, as they share some of the most mouth-watering food from around the world.

I have no doubt that Eric and Allison will inspire you to hit the road and pursue a life of adventure.

Flying the Nest

Stephen & Jess are an Australian couple with a passion for adventure. You’ll find a range of travel content on Flying the Nest , from daily life and food discoveries to volunteering and worldly travels.

The couple share a diverse range of travel experiences, from hiking Machu Picchu to overwater bungalows in the Maldives.

Their videos offer a unique historical insight and engaging video content. Plus, they now have a new baby to join their adventures.

I couldn’t possibly fit all of the amazing travel vloggers out there into this list. But these are some of my personal favourites and a great place to start if you’re feeling overwhelmed with all the travel content on YouTube.

As mentioned above, I do have my own YouTube channel ? It’s only in the early stages I’m already in the process of expanding it and any new subscribers honestly means the world.

Jessie is a luxury travel expert with years of experience travelling the world to find the best destinations, hotels and adventures.

Find me on: Web | Instagram

That’s really nice post. I appreciate your skills. Thanks for sharing.

No travel beans in the list! Missing out guy’s

Why not Harold baldr ? Please try out his channel 🙂

Great list!

I follow Steve Marsh out of Scotland, Cecila Blomdahl out of Svalbard Norway, Mathers on the Map out of New Jersey, and Erik Aanderaa out of Norway. All great travel content. Thanks for these. I plan to check out a few.

The Best UK Travel Bloggers

Having run Spaghetti Traveller for over a decade now, the thing that has jumped out to me the most has been the sense of community amongst travel bloggers.

There are some absolute gems here in the UK, really nice people who you can’t help but love. From the great photographers to the confident folk on a video, to the ones that just love to write, I have tried my best to include all of the best travel bloggers in the UK.

Spaghetti Traveller

Ok, I can’t write this list and leave ourselves off! Following a road trip Across the USA with a number of friends, I decided to setup the blog, as I became addicted to the travel industry.

Since it’s initiation, the blog has been featured on the BBC, Inews, Yahoo, Metro, Guardian, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Start-ups, Forbes, Evening Standard, Hello Magazine, Independent, the Mirror, New Food Magazine, the Sun, Huff Post, Mashable, Wanderlust Travel Magazine and plenty more.

Passport And Stamps (Formerly Italian Trip Abroad)

I first met Toti and Alessia at a Traverse event in Brighton and you could instantly tell how funny and friendly they both were. The two keen adventurers have a base in London, but they’ll jump on a plane to see the world at the first opportunity possible.

Being Italian, it’s unsurprising that their knowledge of the likes of Naples, Rome and Milan is substantial, as they share some amazing tips for your next European city break.

Website : https://passportandstamps.com/

Backpacking Bananas

We met Christianne at the same Traverse event we meet Toti and Ale and we were instantly wowed by her incredible YouTube channel. Instantly envious of both her editing skills and charisma on screen, Christianne now has over 100k subscribers on YouTube and has become one of the biggest travel vloggers in the world.

Whether it’s a travel adventure or some tips and hacks on how to build your own YouTube channel, the Backpacking Banana has some unbelievable content.

Website : Backpackingbananas.com

Weigh The Suitcase

Steve and Amy write in such a personal way, offering their genuine tips and thoughts on each place they visit, with some brilliant city break recommendations on Weigh The Suitcase.

From far away trips to Hong Kong and Singapore, to the best of Europe with Venice and Amsterdam, to exploring what we have on our own front door in Blickling and Edinburgh, you will find a great mix of their adventures on the blog.

Website : Weighthesuitcase.com

Wanderlust Chloe

I met Chloe through a midweek Traverse event in London a number of years ago, as 6 of us bloggers had to crack an escape rooms. I won’t lie, I don’t know how much I contributed to our attempted escape, I was a little clueless what was going on, but I still had a great time!

Considering Chloe had a remarkable 36 flights in 2015 and 47 flights in 2016, I can comfortably predict she has been to more countries than myself, which has helped her to make numerous lists for the best UK travel bloggers.

Website : Wanderlustchloe.com

A Lady In London

Growing up around Silicon Valley, Julie was working as a macroeconomic analyst, but it wasn’t long before her desire to travel the world took over.

Heading to the UK, Julie started A Lady In London back in 2007 and it quickly grew to become one of the biggest travel blogs in the world. She also runs a number of business, blog and social coaching services

Website : Aladyinlondon.com

Vicky Flip Flop Travels

Having worked in the travel industry since 2011, Vicky certainly doesn’t have a fear of heights like me and Raquel, with her adventures including sky diving in both New Zealand and Japan!

Vicky has since also setup a new website, called Day Out In England, which is worth checking out, especially considering the growth of staycations and hidden gems this country has.

Website : Vickyflipfloptravels.com

Emily Luxton Travels

Emily is a huge inspiration for anyone that is considering a solo travel adventure but is nervous or has questions before jumping on a plane. Her trips have taken her across the globe, including the likes of Mexico and India.

But most importantly, Emily is a bit fan of Harry Potter, therefore she has my respect! Emily is commonly top placed on the Trips 100 list of UK travel bloggers and features in a huge number of lists for the best this country has to offer.

Website : Emilyluxton.co.uk

Rexy Edventures

It feels like a lifetime ago now, but I remember meeting Ed at a blogger event in London and instantly got in really well with him.

He had a similar background to me, in that we both worked in digital marketing and were marketing managers for a travel brand. The blog was setup back in 2011, while his adventures have taken him all over, from New Zealand to South East Asia, while he won’t hesitate to jump out of a plane (again, my fear of heights is holding me back).

Website : Rexyedventures.com

Hey Dip Your Toes In

Hey Dip Your Toes In is the brilliant blog by Omo and Eulanda, where their creativity, humour and great personality shines through in their content.

Since lockdown first kicked in, I’ve also loved reading their UK based trips, which have been hugely inspirational, as I don’t feel I make the most of all the hidden gems dotted around Sussex.

Website : Heydipyourtoesin.com

Biggsy Travels

Steve Biggs has his base in London, having grown up in Hertfordshire, while he’s amazing with a camera in hand. His attention to detail is incredible and he certainly has some amazing and unique stories to share.

Steve has been sharing his adventures since 2014 on Biggsy Travels, while he also has a digital background like myself, plus we met him at WTM (plus Traverse of course) and seemed like an absolute legend.

Website : Biggsytravels.com

Global Help Swap

I normally talk about the beautiful destinations people have been, of which Karen and Paul have seen some beautiful places, but it’s the foodie posts that truly had me glued, trying out the Gobi Manchurian recipe one time in my kitchen (mine didn’t look quite as nice as theirs haha).

With a dilemma of whether to get on the property ladder and settle down or go travel the world back in 2010, you can guess which direction they went in, starting the Global Help Swap, and the rest is history.

Website : Globalhelpswap.com

The Travel Hack

Monica is another veteran of the travel industry like myself and many others on this list, having started The Travel Hack back in 2009.

The blog has evolved from the early backpacking days, to illustrate the amazing adventures she is having with her family and in motherhood. Considering I’m now an uncle (wooo), I have loved reading the Mama Hack articles for advice and tips.

Website : Thetravelhack.com

Mallory On Travel

Formerly working as a Warrant Officer in the army, Iain had to run adventurous outdoor pursuits on a regular basis, which developed his wanderlust.

The thing that always stood out for me about Mallory’s work was his amazing work with a camera in hand. His photos are seriously unbeatable. I’m yet to meet Iain in person, but I hope to very soon at a future blogging event.

Website : Malloryontravel.com

A Luxury Travel Blog

There is sometimes a misconception that to be a travel blogger, you have to slum it in grimy hostels. Ok, we’ve done our fair share of that, but we also love a fancy hotel and some fine dining, especially as we’ve got into our thirties.

A Luxury Travel Blog shares some of the best trips and adventures for someone looking for a luxurious holiday. Dr Paul Johnson is an experienced traveller and has successfully built a huge social following for the platform, including 700k on Twitter!

Website : Aluxurytravelblog.com

Along Dusty Roads

Andrew and Emily started the idea of the travel blog Along Dusty Roads in the way all good plans are born, with plenty of gin!

The couple share their adventures, including hiking guides, their ‘things to do’ lists and food recommendations from their travels to South America, Asia and across the globe.

Website : Alongdustyroads.com

Hand Luggage Only

Hand Luggage Only was created by Yaya and Lloyd, as they shared their travel stories while studying at Cambridge University. Their photography skills are spectacular, while they also produce a fair amount of content on food, a favourite subject of mine!

Yaya and Lloyd have been all across the USA, sharing their top tips on all the biggest cities, which are certainly worth a read if you’re planning an American holiday next year.

Website : Handluggageonly.co.uk

Tin Box Traveller

While many travel blogs will focus on either solo travel or adventurous backpacking, I love the fact that Claire has found a different niche, focusing on family trips and advice, an area I think was under-serviced by bloggers.

Exploring the great outdoors and heading camping when possible, Claire shares her family adventures, from caravanning in Dartmouth to hotel stays in Bournemouth. The happy smiles on her two girls will bring a smile to your face.

Website : Tinboxtraveller.co.uk

Heather On Her Travels

Heather is a Bristolian, a place I love to visit and very similar to my hometown Brighton, Heather On Her Travels shares her adventures exploring the world, focusing on the 50+ travellers.

Whether it’s relaxing on a luxury cruise or taking on some outside adventures with hiking and cycling, Heather is an incredible writer and she also targets a slightly different market to some of the others on this list in people who’s children have flown the nest and are looking to explore.

Website : Heatheronhertravels.com

Sophie’s Suitcase

Sophie started her adventuring back in 2010, just like myself, which instigated the travel bug and since then she has been all over the world and shortlisted for numerous awards as one of the best bloggers in the UK.

Sophie has also done something I’m trying to hold myself more accountable for, actually producing regular video content, with new clips going up on her YouTube channel each week. Heads-up, look out for the new puppy video!

Website : Sophiessuitcase.com

This Battered Suitcase

This Battered Suitcase is run by Brenna Holeman, someone who has seemingly seen every corner of the world with more than 100 countries ticked off.

Brenna also writes a fair amount about solo travel, something I find a really interesting topic as it was one of my biggest fear factors before I started travelling.

I love that Brenna doesn’t just go to the ‘postcard destinations’ she has visited virtually every country and makes sure to get to know the local culture and to shine a light on some hidden gems.

Website : Thisbatteredsuitcase.com

Finding The Universe & Independent Travel Cats

Finding The Universe shares the travel stories of Laurence and Jessica, a travel addicted couple who are based in Bath, where my mum lives.

What’s so fascinating about their story is that they were both travel bloggers, who met at a blogging conference back in 2014, with Jess running Independent Travel Cats, making them now the ultimate travel blogger power couple!

Their posts are equally heart warming and captivating, keeping you intrigued about all of their new ventures to come.

Website : Findingtheuniverse.com & Independenttravelcats.com

Nomadic Boys

Stefan and Sebastien are a French and Greek couple and power duo in the travel blogger community. They held great jobs, one being a lawyer and the other being a business analyst, however the travel bug quickly caught up with them, trading in short trips for long adventures abroad.

Their excursions around Asia in 2014 is what really kicked off the travel blogging life and they’ve never looked back since, with that trip lasting an astonishing 18 months!

Website : nomadicboys.com

The Travel Bunny

Suzanne is a fellow Sussex blogger, having grown up just outside of Brighton, while she combines posts about the Sussex area with exotic trips abroad.

Suzanne’s photos are always stunning of unbelievably picturesque scenery, while she’s a very naturally talented writer, keeping you captivated throughout the article.

Website : thetravelbunny.com

Global Grasshopper

The winner of numerous awards and having worked with virtually every big brand within the travelsphere, Becky Moore has grown the Global Grasshopper to an unbelievable height, while she has an incredibly talented team on hand for projects.

With 56k following on Facebook, 23k on Twitter and 13k on Instagram, as well as a steady stream of traffic through to the blog, Global Grasshopper easily makes it onto the list of the best UK travel bloggers.

Website: globalgrasshopper.com

Postcards By Hannah

With 276,000 followers on Instagram (you read that write), Hannah’s adventures are made even more special by the fact that she shares them with her cocker spaniel Baxter.

Easily one of the best photographers on this list, Hannah also offers both social media outsourcing and freelance photography services.

Just like us, her content is more domestic nowadays, focusing on the beauty of Britain while working from home.

She Gets Around

Jen is a travel and lifestyle blogger from Derbyshire with the cutest dog of all time (I so badly want a lab). As someone who loves dogs, baked beans on toast and chocolate fondant, this is someone me and Raquel can certainly relate to! Another thing we can relate to is the transition from backpacking content to more luxurious ‘grown-up’ trips.

Jen is also an avid reader, sharing her favourite books while on her ventures. Having started off with a 9 month trip through Asia, Jen has most recently been providing local tips on the Derbyshire area, from where to eat to interesting walks.

With unbelievable photos from their trips to Machu Picchu, Iceland and Texas, there is plenty to get hooked with, while they’re incredibly talented at writing up city guides, ideal to research before your next big trip.

Helen In Wonderlust

Helen started her blog back in 2013 after quitting her corporate job and heading off to Africa for the ultimate adventure! Combining the scary heights in the Victoria Falls (still on my personal bucket list), with climbing Africa’s highest mountain and meeting the Maasai villagers, she has some serious stories to tell.

But unlike most travel bloggers, who stay for a short period of time in each spot, Helen begun offering tours in Africa and made a business venture out of it, so I doth my cap!

If you’re looking to head to Africa at any point, then Helen In Wonderlust is your dream blog for the ideal itinerary.

The Wanderlust Within

Roshni has me absolutely beat, having travelled to 75 countries, she has truly seen the world and then some!

She also has some remarkable stats when it comes to monthly blog visits, with a big audience in the USA, UK and Philippines and a strong Pinterest profile.

I love the slogan ‘hidden gems around the world’, because that’s exactly what I look for when I visit somewhere new, not the traditional landmarks that everyone knows about, but the recommendations you would get from a local.

Gallivant Girl

I met Anastasia while at Brighton University, as we were both part of the Drama society, performing in plays and making tits of ourselves whenever possible.

She’s got a brilliant sense of humour and absolutely no fear when it comes to adventure seeking. She also goes beyond the usual destination list. Quite remarkably, she’s also a doctor, you know, as you do!

Little Miss Gem Travels

Little Miss Gem Travels is a blog run by Oxford based Gemma, who shares her trips across the UK and abroad, combining weekend getaways, day trips and those slightly more lengthier adventures.

Gemma’s trip to Japan has certainly been inspirational, considering this is very high on our bucket list. She also shares a wealth of lifestyle tips, from saving money for your holidays to coping with issues such as migraines while away from home.

The 20 Best YouTube Travel Channels and Vlogs

Editorial Manager

The art of travel has changed beyond all recognition in the past few years. What once cost a fortune and took weeks of planning can now be documented on a phone and by booking a flight on the way to the airport. Here’s a selection of YouTube’s finest travel channels and vlogs that showcase the creativity the new medium opens up to all of us.

Travel stories have been shared orally from the earliest days of humanity. Yarns of great adventure may have been embellished with the occasional sea monster and one-eyed giant, but even these fanciful accounts had some basis in reality. Journals by explorers were hugely popular with the general public soon after the introduction of mass transit, revealing treasures such as Ancient Egypt and other global wonders.

Travel books, high-quality photography and newspaper accounts soon followed, before TV took over and brought incredible sights into living rooms around the world. People who never thought they would experience the magic of travel for themselves were now given the urge to explore, and so a boom in the tourism industry followed.

Today, thanks to the proliferation of online travel, you can see the world with the simple click of a button.

Sorelle Amore

It’s not always easy to watch other people live out fantasy lifestyles while we can only look on enviously, planning our annual vacations from home. Sorelle Amore has benefited more than most, but her graciousness and warm approach to viewers make her journey all the more pleasurable to watch.

Mountain Trekker

One of India’s best-known travel vloggers, Varhun Vagish initially began his channel as a domestic series. Having explored the country extensively, Varhun is now taking on the surrounding region and is keen to get other Indians to do the same. We really like the way affordability is at the top of the list of considerations when it comes to this vlog – a rare but welcome consideration.

George Benson Travel

Likeable Geroge Benson has wisely decided to separate his passion for travel from his love of football. The travel channel follows George as he explores various locations in his unique style, whereas the vlogger’s other channel focuses on his beloved Chelsea FC. You’ll be pleased to know George’s terrible life choices seem to be limited to his sporting preferences.

Migrationology with Mark Wiens

If any two things work better together on YouTube than food and travel, we have yet to discover them. Mark Wiens has cultivated a huge following online, and it’s easy to see why. His love of food and willingness to hurl himself into every challenge is infectious. While perhaps not for travel purists, Migrationology is still one of the most informative channels to follow on the platform.

Eva zu Beck

Once of this parish, Eva zu Beck is now among the most popular personalities on the travel circuit. Her videos often feature the places we rarely see covered by mainstream media, making her insightful look at the world particularly welcome. Eva’s rise to fame began with a couple of early videos going viral in Pakistan, and she hasn’t looked back since.

The Budgeteers

A trio of friends from different parts of the world make up The Budgeteers, and they have stumbled across a winning formula – fun, enlightening and easy-to-follow trips that appeal to everyone with limited funds. The only problem these vloggers face is that they are prone to becoming victims of their own success. Every step away from the “budget” concept seems to be a massive misstep, thrusting them back into the clutches of sponsors and brands eager to capitalise on their unique skills. This is one team that we want to see less of as their format works best in periodical doses.

Fearless and Far

Marine biology graduate Mike Corey prides himself on taking on the more extreme side of travel through his online adventures. Not all of his choices are worth recommending, as some border on unethical. However, when he gets it right, he really gets it right. The slick production values on his videos are incredibly planned out, making Mike an easy watch.

Drew Binsky

Boasting over 1 billion video views and 5 million followers on social media, Drew Binksy has been championed by several brands in the relatively short time he has been a professional travel blogger. His ultimate aim is to visit every country in the world – something he was so close to doing before the coronavirus outbreak. We’re sure his adventures will continue again soon, and in the meantime, he can keep perfecting his golf swing, a sport he regularly partakes in when travelling.

Shizuka’s Food Adventures in Japan

Part of the wider byfood.com network, this series serves as a treat for lovers of everything Japanese. The main focus is the country’s culinary delights, but host Shizuka Anderson clearly has a flair for travel blogging, too. Describing herself as a Tokyoite, the presenter ends up discovering places that would light up any Instagram feed. It’s one to check out if you’re in need of improving your social media game.

Chas Bruns fully embraces the thrifty lifestyle he espouses in this vlog all about the virtues of penny-pinching. Chas hunts out the cheapest experiences and holidays he can, sharing his tips with viewers. This series might not be the most polished one on this list, but it’s arguably the most useful.

FunForLouis

Thankfully, FunForLouis is also fun for the rest of us. This adventurous travel expert might initially appear like the stereotypical travel dude we all want to avoid on holiday, but he’s actually developed a keen eye for the unexpected. Louis is a great host who is at his best when taking off on his own with only a small camera for company.

100 Countries with Kara and Nate

Travel couples are probably the most annoying people across social media. There’s a delicate balancing act between being overly smug and privileged and genuinely engaging and informative, but Kara and Nate just about get it right. Their goal of visiting 100 countries by 2020 has now been achieved, so we do wonder if the pair will be slowing down, especially given how difficult it is to travel at the moment.

Vagabrothers

The high levels of production employed by Marko and Alex, two wanderlust-fuelled brothers, help elevate their channel to another level. Each destination they visit gets the documentary-style treatment, and their videos are all the better for it.

Tourist 2 Townie

If you’re interested in what it’s like to live in a country, then Gareth Leonard’s deeper approach to travel is for you. The flashy, short-form videos that other vloggers aim for really aren’t worth your time if you want to explore a new place with someone keen on expanding cultural horizons. Gareth takes his time with each piece of content and delivers a series that will make you want to learn more before you travel.

Another great vlog with a strong emphasis on food is Miss Mina, hosted by the eponymous Mina Oh. This particular channel is about global travel, whereas a more popular incarnation – Sweet and Tasty TV – hones in on Korean culture. Both are riveting in their own way, although food videos are definitely the strong point throughout.

Wolters World

This honest travel vlog is packed full of practical tips and helpful information. Making viral content doesn’t appear to be at the forefront of Mark Wolters’ thinking, as he and his family explore the world. It all started from one travel let-down and has now blossomed into a wonderfully helpful resource.

PsychoTraveller

Don’t be put off by the rather disturbing name of the vlog – Aly (who is a psychology graduate from England) is actually a great host and guide. Aly is so good that she’s self-published a book to help others looking to travel to some of the many places she has visited.

Phil Good Travel

We’ve previously lamented the lack of diversity when it comes to travel shows on TV , and sadly, the same is also true for vlogging. One man making a real change is Phil of Philwaukee fame, who has teamed up with the Matador Network for this series. It’s fun, full of positive vibes and something we really want to see more of.

Jumping into a vintage Volkswagen (VW) van and driving off into the sunset is the stuff teenage dreams are made of. It’s also the reality that this vlog follows, as two intrepid travellers aim to go off the grid and find their own adventures around the world. VW vans apparently have different nicknames depending on where you are – for Brits, they are known as camper vans, while Americans call them buses. Kombi is the most popular term with the rest of the world.

Jenny J Zhou

Originally from Australia and now settling into the Los Angeles lifestyle by way of a significant stay in Shanghai, Jenny Zhou’s career is just as fascinating as her travel content. There are some great on-location videos on her channel, but as Jenny attempts to make it in the acting world, we wonder how many more travel videos we’ll get. There’s still plenty to explore in the vlogger’s back catalogue though, and her Shanghai films, in particular, make for fun viewing.

He’s quickly growing a following as a new foodie channel to watch.

Schedule: Saturdays

How the best travel vloggers were chosen:

Like all lists, people will wonder why they’re not on it. I’m positive I missed some good ones, but this is very loose criteria I’d be using if I were hired to cast, produce or pitch a TV show. Creators did not need to meet all criteria, but most. – Programming: Weekly dedication, quality, storytelling & individual style execution – Audience: Niche, loyalty, & YouTube friendly – Blog worthy and/or binge worthy – Does it bring a new spin to the term “travel video” or “travel show” – Channel Personality/Talent: brand recognition, hosting & entertainment value

25 Travel Vloggers to follow in 2021

• December 30, 2020

The end of 2020 is the perfect time to start your YouTube addiction 😉 Many people can’t/won’t/don’t travel right now, and that’s totally understandable, but there’s no reason you can’t “armchair travel” through some incredible YouTube creators. That’s why I’m putting together this list of travel vloggers to follow in 2021!

About 2 years ago, we started watching travel vlogs pretty regularly…this was partly thanks to Sean convincing me to buy a smart TV for the living room which means we have access to YouTube while hanging out in the evenings. Discovering how people were creating travel content through video was the inspiration we needed to really focus on building our own travel YouTube channel — which you can check out and subscribe to.

If you Google articles for top travel vloggers, you’ll definitely find a few lists but I’m putting one together for a couple of reasons. One is that I want to share with you who has inspired us, and two, I want to introduce you to a few that aren’t the biggest in the business because there are smaller creators that you might vibe with. So, while there will be some big names on this list, you’re guaranteed to discover new ones!

Have your own favorites? Add them in the comments!

The Endless Adventure

This is our favorite travel channel on YouTube because Eric and Allison are so relatable, friendly, and travel in a similar way we do. They also go all over the world and seem to have fun with life while staying on top of their upload schedule. Obviously, 2020 threw us all for a loop and now they are renovating an RV in between local foodie adventures that usually end up in a super unique accommodation. They are just hard not to like.

Travel Beans

This super fun British couple are known as the Travel Beans and they love to travel and seem to take a different route on travel vlogging. Emma and Alex share all sides of the trip — good or bad. And they are happy to teach us what they’ve learned.

Kara and Nate

Very well-known are Kara and Nate . This couple tends to get a little controversial for, in my opinion, some silly things. While they make a lot of money from YouTube and products they’ve created thanks to their success, they are still down-to-Earth and super pleasant. They go to very interesting places and also stay in very unique accommodations.

I think I’ve found Cup of TJ from The Endless Adventure when they did a collaboration and, funny enough, we were all at the same conference in 2016 (I think) in London, but I wasn’t watching YouTube yet, so I didn’t know! TJ has the cutest travel and food show on YouTube…and I hired her as my YouTube coach for the spring and summer in 2020. So, I can tell you first hand that she’s amazing and her food videos always make me hungry and make me laugh!

Heart my backpack

Silva, from Heart My Backpack is an American-Norwegian who grew up in the U.S. but has lived in Norway for more than a few years now. She’s done the female solo traveler thing before it was cool, she’s been to countries that some people haven’t heard of, and, annoyingly, knows a few languages. (I say annoyingly because I not-so-secretly wish I did, too) Silva will be the first to tell you that she’s socially awkward and if you read her blog, you’ll feel her snarky storytelling shine through. Her videos make it all more fun and you get to see parts of Norway that nobody else is covering!

Deja Shu is a channel run by Shu that’s mostly food and travel with a bit of London lifestyle thrown in. I’ve met Shu and have seen her work and she’s a pro who really cares about giving you a good video that makes you want to run out the door and do what she’s doing. That’s the sign of a good vlogger!

Girl vs Globe

Positivity is the first thing when I think of Sabina of Girl vs Globe . She’s also just genuinely kind and that shines through in every single video. She takes responsible travel very seriously, but I’m guessing she’ll be showing us more of London soon, but until then, she’s sharing a bit of London lifestyle, as well.

Chasing a plate

This food-obsessed travel channel does an excellent job of sharing the best food everywhere they travel. Thomas and Sheena have great energy that you’ll feel through the screen! They’ve done collaborations with some of my favorite vloggers so they hang out with cool people 😉

Backpacking bananas

If you are looking to see what backpacking around the world looks like, especially as a female solo traveler, then Christianne is your woman. She has such a friendly personality that’s easy to follow when she’s on her adventures.

Eva zu Beck

This channel will blow your mind because Eva goes on some crazy epic adventures and makes it impossible to stop watching when you start playing one of her videos. She strives to show you places you won’t see in the mass media and is a true adventurer.

Mark is the king of food travel videos and his YouTube channel was one of our early favorites. You’ll mostly find him in Asia since he and his wife live in Bangkok, but there are lots of videos from all over to get you drooling.

Delightful travelers

Anna and Trevor are a couple of Canadians who love to travel the world — whether it’s through budget travel or splurging on some luxury. I appreciate this balance because sometimes we want to splurge and sometimes we are more frugal so we can splurge in other ways. And it’s always nice to watch people who travel similar to us.

The Wandering Quinn

The wonderful Ellie creates travel videos from all over the world and her bubbly, but real, personality is fun to watch. She even travels to some places you may not have thought of visiting, but she’ll show you what you’re missing!

Roaming Required

For anyone looking for some informative travel content, London residents Roma and Russ from Roaming Required have got you covered! The love sharing history, food, and travel tips from anywhere they travel and I can’t wait to see more videos from them.

Life by Linda

I love this woman’s energy! Life by Linda is all about finding adventure in adulthood and that most definitely includes travel. I really think this is a hidden gem of a travel channel that’s going to be a favorite of many just because of how fun it is!

He Goes, She Goes

The fun-loving couple behind the He Goes, She Goes YouTube channel are from Canada and travel all over. Their friendly and personable personality had me hooked and I think it will have you binge-watching their videos, too!

We can’t stop watching Kombi Life . This guy has been making YouTube videos for 8 years and his storytelling is captivating. If you’re looking for a REAL look into van-life, you should be watching this channel. But it’s way more than that. Just watch an episode and you’ll understand. Besides, since it’s been 8 years, there’s plenty to binge 😉

The Travel Matt

I’m fairly certain this guy was born to be on camera. The Travel Matt is charismatic and gives travel advice and creates travel vlogs in various cities around Europe and is worth checking out!

The Average Tourist

Sara is absolutely charming in her travel videos on The Average Tourist and I can’t wait to see how she grows and gets even better with her filming and editing. She tends to cover North America which is great for North Americans looking for inspiration closer to home at this time.

The Daily Departure

This Daily Departure is run by a flight attendant named Noelle based in Chicago and has travel vlogs from all over the planet! She has such a unique perspective and opportunity to travel and I’m looking forward to seeing what she does in 2021.

Means To Travel

Eliz started this travel YouTube channel just before the pandemic and has been helping people prep to travel again. This is another one where I’m looking forward to seeing how the channel grows and evolves because I love her focus on meaningful travel and talking about how to have the means to travel.

Jeanie Marie

This native Minnesotan loves to travel and has so much energy so if you want to watch a feel-good channel, then Jeanie Marie is one to subscribe to. She currently focuses on Minnesota (which has a bunch of gems), and on her trip to Mexico. Where will she go next?

The Little Grey Box

You’ll notice something different about The Little Grey Box channel and that’s because Phoebe is a professional presenter on CNN and CNBC and her videographer Matt is an actual videographer. That makes this channel a bit more professional than some of the others, but you still get that travel vlog vibe with the excitement and wonder of travel.

Chase for adventure

This is a new-to-us channel with a super adorable couple that travels the world, is so fun to watch. Annette & Daniel are travel journalists who mostly focus on Asian destinations, but have playlists of their videos from around the world.

I’m always on the hunt to discover new channels to enjoy and I’ll share them with you, too! But if you have a favorite, please leave it in the comments so others can check them out. Please don’t forget to head over to our channel at A Wanderlust For Life for all things food & travel. Once you do, let us know you’ve joined us by leaving a comment on your favorite video that we made 😉

Wishing you joy and travels!

Hi! I’m Jessica, an American who made Amsterdam her home in 2014. I share European gems through food and memorable experiences. Want to know more? Head to my about page or check out my YouTube channel .

The Best Travel Vloggers on YouTube in 2022

If you’re anything like me, your YouTube home feed includes a lot of travel stories, with food and travel vloggers, around the world explorers, van life channels, and outdoor adventurers.

Watching travel videos helps me decide where to travel next in the world, and what exactly to do once I get there.

In person travel around the world is difficult with the pandemic right now, so I’ve loved watching travel adventures virtually from my favorite YouTubers. It’s a wonderful way to mentally escape the stress and uncertainty of the last year.

YouTube has more than 2 billion (yes, that’s billion with a b ) monthly logged in users. If you’re a prospective travel vlogger, getting your videos on YouTube can be as easy as filming a video, editing with a video editor , and uploading. Because getting started on YouTube can be so simple, that’s meant plenty of vloggers, with interesting stories to tell, are on the platform.

Many of my favorite vloggers introduce viewers to bucket list travel adventures around the world, while others stay closer to home.

Several travel bloggers on this list, like Kara and Nate, made the transition from around-the-word travel videos to van life during the pandemic. Others have bought and renovated isolated cabins, while others continue their adventures locally.

I enjoy watching their current adventures, but it’s also a great time to dig back in the archives and watch older videos. I even check out a few classic travel TV shows from time to time!

The Best Travel YouTube Channels

Check out some of our favorite YouTube travel channels. We think these are the some of the best travel vloggers on YouTube right now.

Kara and Nate 2.1 Million YouTube Subscribers

I just found Kara and Nate’s channel in the last year. It’s fantastic, and I wish I’d found it sooner! Kara and Nate are a husband and wife team from Nashville Tennessee, who traveled to 100 countries before travel slowed down in 2020.

The production quality of this channel is fantastic, with high quality videography, and great audio as well. These days, they’re making content driving through the USA in a van, with plenty of stops at interesting accommodations and attractions along the way.

Favorite video: We Slept Outside in Antarctica

Eamon and Bec 782K YouTube subscribers

Eamon and Bec are a Canadian couple that I started watching when they were travelling around Europe and Morocco in their self converted Sprinter van. There’s plenty of gorgeous content on here about their travels, their vegan recipes (they even have a vegan cookbook), and life on the road.

These days, Eamon and Bec are vlogging about renovating their cabin in the woods of Ontario, Canada.

Favorite travel video: How to Winter in the Canadian Wilderness

Foresty Forest 245K YouTube subscribers

Foresty Forest is the real deal, if you’re interested in bicycle touring, ascending mountains, and the great outdoors. His crockpot makes frequent appearances, with simple home cooked meals made in the van.

This is old school YouTube, without paid sponsorships, or paid reviews.

You’ll find yourself singing the insanely catchy theme song, “ Foresty Forest, he lives in a van… Foresty Forest! “

I always catch myself smiling when there’s a new Foresty Forest upload.

Favorite video: Living in a Minivan During Freezing Temperatures

Christian Schaffer – 70K subscribers

Christian makes her living as an outdoor adventure and travel photographer, and was a former Abercrombie model and retail manager.

As you’d expect, her travel videography is beautiful, but the channel is also packed full of thoughtful, intelligent tips about van life, making money, and life in general.

Favorite video: Van Life | Parking and Solo Female Safety

The Wild Card: Tom Green 267K YouTube subscribers

Bet you didn’t expect to find Tom Green on this list!

Tom is best known as a comedian, whose career started on MTV in the 1990s. He’s known for quirky and often pretty juvenile comedy like the Bum Bum Song , the Slutmobile , and Hollywood films Road Trip and Charlie’s Angels, as well as being married to Drew Barrymore in the early 2000s.

These days, Green seems a lot more introspective, as he’s vlogging his van life with his adorable dog, Charlie. Green’s still a quirky mix, with gorgeous cinematography, visits to stunning and out of the way places, musical offerings, and rambling, free-form live streams.

Favorite video: Lost Ancient City In America – Tom Green Visits Chaco Culture National Historical Park – Van Life

Slim Potatohead 129K YouTube subscribers

Slim Potatohead is something of an outlier among travel vlogs.

There’s definitely good videography and storytelling here, but this is not the vlog for you if you’re looking for fast paced, high excitement travel. Slim meanders along on his adventures, and it often seems like very little happens in a given blog. That said, he’s definitely an authentic voice that’s well worth checking out.

He travels pulling a small older trailer, spending plenty of time off grid in nature. Older videos feature the USA and Mexico, but these days he’s focusing on travel within Canada. There are videos on frugal camper renovations, camping spots, and plenty of exploring and meandering.

Favorite travel video: Latitude High: The Arctic Circle Campout

Mark Wiens 7.28 Million YouTube subscribers

Enthusiastic and energetic, Mark Wiens is a food vlogger who shares about South East Asia from his home base in Bangkok, Thailand.

I was first introduced to Mark’s Migrationology blog back in 2012, and I’ve loved following his transition to being one of YouTube’s most popular food and travel vloggers.

He features plenty of street food videos, with a strong focus on Thai food and travel.

Favorite video: Extreme Thai Street Food – CRAZY TOM YUM Late-Night Food Tour in Bangkok, Thailand!

Tyler and Todd 77K YouTube subscribers

Tyler and Todd are one of my absolute favorite channels. They’re funny, engaging, and have absolutely gorgeous videography and solid audio.

They’re a Canadian couple who travel with their adorable dogs Charlie and Eddy.

Because of the pandemic, they’re currently not traveling, but I’ve loved following along as they make a home in Nova Scotia, building an off grid cabin.

Incredibly personable and funny, they’re a treat to watch each week.

Favorite video: Gay Couple’s Routine | Living in an RV full time

Vancity Vanlife 145K YouTube subscribers

Vancity Vanlife features Chrome and his adorable bulldog pup, Cruz.

Chrome is a former professional DJ, so this is a fantastic channel if you love great music and great audio. As a former DJ, he has a fantastic voice for audio.

He uploads almost every day, and this channel is a throwback to early daily vlogs of YouTube. Videos are based mostly around Vancouver, British Columbia, but he does sojourn around Canada and into the USA when he’s able. It’s a great channel to get a feel for daily van life realities.

Favorite video: Winter Van Life In The Frosty Canadian Mountains… Is It Lonely Out Here?

Drew Binsky 2.34 Million YouTube subscribers

Drew, an American YouTuber, is definitely an engaging, entertaining presence on YouTube. He’s also controversial, as he continued traveling during the pandemic, and he’s garnered criticism for visiting countries like North Korea.

This is the type of channel that you’ll likely either love or hate.

Favorite travel video: He is the Ice Man (Wim Hof)

Project Amber 57K YouTube subscribers

Project Amber follows the adventures of a UK vlogger and his adorable Spaniel puppy, Lance as they travel in a converted ex-ambulance.

There’s plenty of great content in the archives that features road trips around the UK and Europe.

The man and dog duo just bought off-grid land in Portugal, and I’m looking forward to watching his local Portuguese adventures.

Favorite video: VAN TOUR – Ex-Ambulance Turned Offgrid Home on Wheels, with Log Burner & Upstairs Bedroom

Lost in Europe

Ash Pollard of Lost in Europe is a 27 year old photographer from Leicester/England.

As the channel title suggests, he mostly features van travel around Europe. There’s some gorgeous videography here, and I’ve loved his time in Scotland, as well has his new content on van life in the winter.

Favorite video: Winter Snow Storm Living In A Van / Arctic Van Life

Bald and Bankrupt 2.66 Million subscribers

Bald and Bankrupt follows the adventures of English travel vlogger Benjamin Rich, who mostly focuses on visiting post-Soviet states.

This channel is much more about meeting everyday people, and getting to know them and their lives, than cinematic scenes and views. It’s great entertainment, and I love that it focuses on getting to know people.

Like Drew Binsky, Rich has travelled during the pandemic. Rich was hospitalized for nine days for coronavirus in July 2020 in Serbia, which was not under lockdown at the time. He admitted that he was “blasé” about the pandemic, and has cautioned his viewers to take the pandemic seriously.

Favorite video: Inside The Belarus Chernobyl Zone

These are just some of my top picks for the best travel vlogs on YouTube channel to follow in 2022! I hope you enjoy watching their videos as much as I do.

Do you have any top travel vloggers suggestions that we missed? Let us know in the comments below.

Some really good travel Vloggers in the list! Thanks for the compilation!

travel vlogging is an emerging activity and i am also thinking of starting it in in dubai visit.

Inspiration & Tips

Travel inspiration, tips and plans all in one place: from conquering high mountain peaks, or even cycling through remote places.

21 Best Travel Vloggers & YouTubers That Are Uniquely Different In 2023

It is strange when we can’t pack our bags and be knee-deep in adventures especially when half of the world is stuck indoors and not being able to travel, this is where we turn to YouTube to find personal journeys of vloggers who have traveled to remote corners of the world.

While I own a travel blog and have had similar adventures, my preferred medium to share has always been blogging.

Vlogging is where I turn to for inspiration from others; travel Youtubers who are deeply charismatic and find new places and see so much potential in a map.

Whether it is the solo female, black explorer or the survivalist lone traveller in the outback, or a vlogger just like you and me who is learning about a new tribe in a remote corner of the world, travel vloggers have managed to inspire me to hit the road and seek offbeat adventure in places I have never been to.

Here’s my list of travel vloggers and YouTubers who are different yet wildly inspiring!

Best Travel Vloggers and YouTubers Who Are Uniquely Inspiring

1. eva zu beck .

It goes without saying that Eva Zu Beck has taken vlogging episodes to new heights.

Her documentary styled-videos and engaging way of connecting with audiences have led her to amass a huge following and almost becoming popular overnight after she visited Pakistan!

She tries to deconstruct how people should travel and focuses on life lessons, historical values of these places and her philosophical way of seeing the world.

Her 7-day journey horse trekking in Mongolia and episodes of visiting Syria and even Afghanistan are done with a lot of heart, thought and meaning.

By no means does she romanticise their lives, but tries to give a deep dive into their stories, culture and traditions.

2. Allison Anderson

Allison Anderson spent her childhood snapping away on point-and-shoot cameras and making goofy videos with friends but found her love for photography, storytelling through YouTube’s broadcast medium.

Her storytelling and photography are topnotch — her videos tug at your heartstrings especially her solo trip to Alaska as she cruised from Vancouver to Anchorage on her wilderness excursion.

You will find her sharing her experiences through stories and cinematic videos as she hopes to encourage other women to embrace the adventure of exploring by themselves.

3. The Cottage Fairy

If your country is nothing like the lush landscape that you live in, concrete, buildings and incessant noise, then you will love Puerto Rican American Paola videos and her aim for a calmer, healthier life that steers away from the never-ending city mentality.

Paola videos help us to remember our childhood, and those yearning for a slower and more peaceful life in nature, far away from my current stressors.

In a world of do-more, hustle-more, visit more places, Paola shows the opposite end of what it means to live close to nature.

Her videos show the world that we can live any way we want as long it makes you happy.

4. Ronnie & Barty

Ex-film makers based in India in a mountain town known as Manali, Ronnie & Barty show the cultural lives of those who live in the Himalayas. They explore new sights, sounds and sensations.

It is nice to see the Himalayas through the lens of their own people, rather than foreigners, and this is what makes Ronnie & Barty’s storytelling come alive.

They feature stories about restoring an 80-year-old mud house in Lahaul and how beauty can be found in unlikely places such as Tirthan Valley.

5. Kamran Ali 

Documentary styled vlogs are rare on YouTube and Kamran Ali , aka KamranOnBike showcases what it is like to see the world on a bicycle.

He is a photographer who has been travelling around the world by bicycle for the last six years.

He has cycled 50,000 km in 43 countries. Recently, he finished a three and a half year bicycle journey from the tip of South America to Alaska.

Most of his footage features travel encounters, short stories and 4k footage of the mountains.

He believes that empathy should be at the centre of our hearts and that the stories have the power to change the behaviour of people for the better.

6. Wheels To Wander

Cycling has gain momentum during the pandemic and there’s a strong urge for people to be closer to the outdoors.

Eric & Maudi are a bicycle touring couple who started their world cycling tour to the Far East.

If you want to know what’s it like to ride at high-altitude or even stay with the nomads at Tajikistan or cross the Persian Gulf, Wheels To Wander have many wonderful encounters filled with amazing landscapes of what’s it like to discover a world full of hospitality and wonders.

As someone who has bicycle toured in Kyrgyzstan , I find their strength and perspective to be immensely contagious.

Watching their short films makes me want to ditch everything and travel on a bicycle for one year!

7. Nomad’s Trails

 Another bicycle touring couple (probably the last on this list), but Nomad’s Trails helmed by Peyman and Matilda, have been cycling around the world for at least 10 years, currently pedalling across Africa.

For most of us, Africa is a continent that is largest unexplored and undiscovered, Nomad’s Trails pushes the envelope and features unthinkable adventures of what’s it like to cross the Sahara desert on a bicycle and what happens when you run out of water or if you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere.

We may not be able to travel far and wide, that too on a bicycle but we can live precariously through Peyman and Matilda’s adventures.

8. Kombi Life

Imagine packing all your life belongings and travelling around the world on a vintage classic VW Kombi!

That’s what UK-based travel vloggers did, they packed their belongings and started a world adventure travel series about #vanlife, overlanding and alternative living.

Their videos features the Van Life in parts of Africa, Mexico and Europe focusing more on what’s like to live off-grid and be on the move in a tiny home.

9. Mari Johnson

From completing the Pacific Crest Trail to living an adventurous life in New Zealand, Mari Johnson inspires many solo women to hike all day and enjoy the great outdoors.

She shares what’s it like to experience life on the trail from the Pacific Crest Trail and living an outdoor lifestyle in New Zealand.

Although she has not uploaded any new videos in the last few months after being a new mother, her space is worth watching to know what’s it like for women who continue having an outdoor lifestyle with a family!

10. Elina Osborne

As more women explore trails, countries, and mountains, there are some who make it a lifestyle.

Elina Osborne is a thru-hikers who started her long-distance hiking trail when she flew from the suburbs of West Auckland to walk from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail.

Inspired by Cheryl Strayed’s novel ‘Wild’, she filmed her journey of how she walked 2650 miles with a single backpack.

Feeling the pains of lockdown in 2020, she decided to hit the trail again but this time on her home turf, New Zealand.

Some of her adventures featured how she walked from the top of Aotearoa, New Zealand to the bottom, on Te Araroa, New Zealand’s Trail where she explored 3,000 long kilometres of farm, road, and mountain ranges.

11. The Planet D

If you love a mish-mash of travel videos featuring things to do such as travel guides, tips and adventure videos, Dave and Deb from their popular website The Planet D take you around the world in their weekly video series.

They are a married adventure couple who live by the motto "Adventure is for Everyone" and their travel videos are often filled with fun, humour, inspiration and information.

You’ll see them showcase the best travels of what the globe has to offer from places as far as Antarctica, the Caribbean and the South Pacific.

12. Yes Theory

Bonded over a desire to shake things up and get people to step out of their comfort zone, Ammar, Thomas, and Matt met in 2015 in Montreal, Canada through a series of serendipitous encounters.

They decided they would do 30 things they had never done before in 30 days, and make a video about it everyday.

They even met the Dalai Lama and travelled to the least visited country in the world. Some of their videos may appear over the top, but their philosophy has always been to show the extreme sides of the world with their energetic videos.

 For all the motorcycle adventures and those who are inspired by solo women who take up grand big adventures, Lea Rieck stands out among the rest.

She rode 90,00 kilometres around the world on a Triumph Tiger 800. How bad-ass is that!

She recently started her Round Africa journey on a gorgeous Yamaha T7. While she was in Germany, having a break from her travels, the COVID-19 outbreak began and she could not return to Benin.

Her aim is to visit tourist destinations and go to places where most people don’t.

She even circumnavigated the world solo from 2016 to 2017 and her channel showcases all the places she visited and missed on earlier.

14. Itchy Boots

 More bad-ass females and more motorbike adventures, this time with Itchy Boots by Noraly who is passionate about motorbikes and solo adventures around the world.

She quit her job, sold her stuff and she’s now travelling the world full-time by motorcycle.

She first rode on a Royal Enfield Himalayan for 3,000 kilometers through the Himalayan mountains.

With this motorcycle named “Basanti”, she rode 36.000 kilometers from India to Malaysia and via the Middle East and Iran, through the ‘Stans’, Russia, the Caucasus and via Turkey back to The Netherlands.

She shines through in her storytelling as a former geologist where she unpacks unplanned discoveries such as South Africa’s Diamond Mining territory while on her overland trip!

15. Li ZiQi

I first stumbled upon Li ZiQi for her wonderful cinematography that looked like it came from Avatar’s movie set.

She intricately weaves her traditions in Sichuan province with her deep knowledge of food, nature and Chinese culture.

Working in the remote Sichuan countryside, Li ZiQi performs the work of a farmer with the grace of a fairy and emphasises what’s it like to live in a beautiful countryside filled with ancient traditions.

Her meals are often elaborate and she finds inventive ways to use flowers, ginger or green plums to create delicious meals.

With many of China’s rural villages being disappeared completely due to the nation’s urbanization, watching Li ZiQi videos are a reminder of the vast rural areas in China that encompass a huge diversity of experience and traditions that are largely ignored and underrepresented.

16. Kraig Adams 

For those who are genuinely looking for some respite from the daily hecticness, Kraig Adams a solo hiker and minimalist focuses on shooting hiking videos focusing on the experience, nature and what draws him to surroundings like these.

He further illustrates his minimalist approach to life in vlogs, videos of his travels to places like Panama, Iceland, and Japan.

Some of his greatest videos are these 4 hours long silent hiking videos weaved with scenes of the mountains, rolling clouds, sunset rays behind a mountain and of him hiking which are perfect on days where you want to get work done but miss the call of being outside.

17. A Nordic Herbal Shaman

 Wildness escapades have grown in popularity as more people experience a different kind of life!

Whitney Alison at the age of 27 decided she had enough and wanted to live her life to the fullest, so she left Holland for the wilderness in North of Sweden to reconnect with nature and ancient practices like herbalism and shamanism.

She documents life in the most artistic and deepest way questioning existentialism, living in a forest, loneliness and what’s it like to forage for your own food.

18. Exploring Alternatives

 As more people ditch living in a house after two years of being shut off from the world, Exploring Alternatives provides a hub of what’s it like to travel and live in tiny houses such as vans, RVs and boats.

This may birth new ideas especially if you’re someone who wants to explore long-term travel, minimalism, zero waste living, off-grid living and more.

19. Green Renaissance

I would say this is not necessarily a travel channel but the content put together here may make you want to question your life and ditch your routine for a meaningful, possibly slower life filled with adventures.

On a journey to inspire change and create beautiful and meaningful stories, the Green Renaissance channel put together by Michael and Justine are passionate filmmakers, living off-grid and dedicating their time to making films that explores what it means to be human — they share conversations with ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Each film touches just one person, fills them with a bit more hope, or leaves them feeling more inspired.

I particularly liked their stories on remote island living and how they captured one guy’s story of the island of Saint Helena. He chose to lead a life that is very different to those of us who have grown up in big cities

20. Julia Sheehan

 A true-blue thru-hiker who did something that changed her life forever: Julia Sheehan hiked the entire length of the Appalachian Trail and decided to document it!

Largely inspired by ‘Into the Wild’, she decided to carve out her own true adventures by documenting all her thru-hike tales in the US.

She has recently completed the Arizona Trail, the Oregon Coast Trail, Laurel Highlands Trail among others.

21. Karl Rock

From shedding stereotypes about the South Asian continent and highlighting the different gems in this region, Karl Rock left his career and life behind as an IT consultant in New Zealand to take viewers behind the scenes of incredible India.

In his vlogs, he shares tips for people to help them travel confidently & safely in India and updates the world on its outdated perceptions about the country.

He has visited every state and union territory in India, and its culturally similar neighbours – Pakistan and Bangladesh, and aims to make others fall in love with India and the subcontinent.

That’s all for now in this list. Do you have a favourite? Share with me in the comments below on which YouTube vlogger you really like!

28 UK Family Travel Bloggers to Follow

When I started this blog I had toddlers. It was all about the funny anecdotes all families will recognise as part of the joy of having a young family. Over the years, though life has grown no less amusing, we have added back in some of the more grown up pursuits we used to enjoy before we started a family; mostly that involves travel! Showing our kids the world – and more, watching how they enjoy the world – has been an immensely happy thing to write about, and I feel privileged to now be classed as a family travel blogger. Often I’m asked for recommendations of other family travel bloggers to read for inspiration, or to work with. So a group of us who often work together decided to put together this guide to some of the best UK family travel bloggers. I hope you will find some in this feature who are new to you, and enjoy exploring their adventures with children around the world.

Travel vlogs resonate with aspiring adventurers in ways that written content can't. They let the audience identify and connect with travel vloggers, and explore and experience new and exotic places with them.

Are you looking to get started with travel vlogging? We put together a comprehensive beginner's guide on how to start your journey.

Read on to learn about what travel vlogging really is, how to actually get started and find useful tips and tricks on growing your audience. We'll even throw in some travel vlog ideas for beginners!

Not what you were looking for? Explore several other aspects of filmmaking .

Travel vlogging definition

Let's start with the basics! What really is travel vlogging?

Travel vlogs are personal, realistic videos that feature the vlogger exploring new areas or locations. These vlogs or video blogs are then uploaded on video-sharing pages like YouTube, where a wide range of audiences can watch them.

As one of the most consumed video content on the internet, travel videos have a great audience who are ready to live vicariously through their favorite travel vloggers.

These vlogs can also provide helpful travel tips on what places to visit, where to eat and where to stay at.

How to get started with travel vlogging

If the wanderlust has taken over and you're ready to dive in, here's the steps to get started:

1. Set up your channel

First things first, you need to decide where you'll share your travel videos with your audience. YouTube and Vimeo are by far the most popular platforms for sharing video content, with YouTube alone having 122 million active users every day.

Head over to the platform of your choice and create a channel with your own name, a stage name, or something entirely customized.

Take good time to think about how you want to portray yourself, as this is the first step of your online branding journey!

Fill out your channel with a profile picture, contact info and description, and tie it to the rest of your public social media. Personalizing your channel now will give viewers a better chance to connect to you!

2. Get the right equipment

What are the travel vlog essentials to pack? Well, depends on your needs of course!

One thing to always keep in mind is portability. If you pack lightly or go out for a day of exploration, you don't want to be weighed down by a full camera bag with all the extra accessories.

A front-facing camera is great for vlogging too, and a wide enough focal length is a must!

Instead, you need to find what's your best travel vlog camera and top 3 lenses. Bring along a small, durable mic and maybe a gimbal, and you'll have all you need.

For lightweight and durable cameras, you can't really go wrong with a mirrorless . They're very versatile and come with a range of interchangeable lenses, where you can definitely find your favorites! Add a gimbal to minimize camera shake, which can make or break your footage.

If you're very active and always on the go, maybe an action cam or a 360 camera could come in handy too! They fit in your pocket so you can pull them out as needed.

While every vlogger has their own preferences, the Sony ZV-1 is a compact made specifically with beginners in mind. The Sony a6600 is excellent in low-light and comes with great in-body image stabilization. The Fujifilm X-S10 is a bit more advanced but it's great value for its price and it handles great. If you want to learn more about the best vlogging cameras , read on. For those planning international travel vlogs, services like VisaFly can be invaluable in navigating visa requirements and travel documentation efficiently.

3. Create your first travel vlog

It's time! Hop on a plane, train or boat and pack your equipment.

It might make sense for you to define a story arc before you actually start filming. Knowing what events or locations will take the main stage of your vlog can help set the pace and know how much to record. But if you're the type to just go with the flow, that can work as well!

Get filming and put yourself out there. A vlog is meant to be personal. If you want the audience to connect with you, be friendly and open while staying authentic to yourself.

Editing your video is where you'll make sure to give your vlog a consistent flow. You don't need to be an expert to get started, but it might be worth checking out some travel vlog editing courses, like these ones on Skillshare.

Add some upbeat copyright-free music to keep up the energy through the travel adventures and set the right tone. Make sure you include brand promos, like your logo and end with a Call To Action, such as "Please like and subscribe!" It's simple, yet effective.

5. Publish and promote

Over time, as you build up a following, it definitely makes sense to cross-promote new travel videos on all your social media!

You can also reach new viewers by collaborating with other creators while building a network and having fun! Interacting with your fans in the comments and addressing them directly will also

Create thematic playlists that viewers can binge before deciding to subscribe! Grouping all videos from your South Asian road trip makes logical sense and encourages viewers to keep watching.

Growing your audience 101

If you wanna be the next Louis Cole or Matthew Karsten, you'll have to build and grow an engaged audience. Having passion and wanderlust is a necessary first step, but the following tips will help you get better and enter the ranks of polished, professional travel vloggers.

Consistency

You might find it boring to hear this over and over again, but consistency is really a must if you want to make it as a content creator.

Especially in the beginning, you can expect no or marginal gains. You have to keep at it every day to let more and more people discover your channel. Creating genuinely good content will pay off in the long run. If the rise to fame would be easy, a lot more people would be doing it.

Keep learning

The beauty of technology and various online platforms is that anyone can pick up a camera and start vlogging. But make no mistake, there's always more to learn!

With time and experience, you'll find your own vlogging style, get better at recording and editing, and learn what sort of promotion works best for you.

Never be afraid to do your research about your destination either. As a well-informed traveler you won't miss out on any local staples and you're a lot less likely to commit cultural faux pas as well.

Set an upload schedule

... and commit to it! Like in everyday life, no one likes to be let down when promises were made. Aim to upload vlogs 2-3x a week or even daily for rapid growth.

Make sure you don't disappoint your subscribers by disappearing without a warning - but don't be afraid to take a break when you need to either. Clear communication goes a long way.

Shot variety

If you've done your research and scoped out the competition, you'll find that most successful vloggers include more than a few different kinds of shots in their videos.

Keep your audience entertained! Open with a good establishing shot , have proper close-ups of mouthwatering food or stunning decoration or throw in a drone wide shot to show off the sun setting over the cliffs.

Use movement and a range of angles to bring some spice and variety. If you want to learn more, check out our comprehensive camera angles 101 .

Keep your videos short

Or at least don't drag them out to be longer than they need to be. Short and sweet is the way to go, especially if you consider the average adult's attention span.

If you have entertaining content to fill out 20 minutes, great for you! Rules are meant to be broken. However, as a general guideline always ask yourself: would viewers spend the time to watch my whole video, or are there parts I could cut shorter?

Travel vlog types

While it's not necessary to pigeonhole yourself into just one thing, it helps a lot with the narrative thread if you pick a type of travel vlogging to focus on. This will also make it clear for your subscribers what to expect, and in return, they'll likely stay with you on your travel adventures.

Depending on your trip, you might want to focus on solo, family travel or couple travel vlogs. You can even involve the locals! Whether you focus on down-to-earth road trips, travel tips or culinary gems, lean into your style and make it your own. It will help you stand out in the vast content type options.

Your tone of voice can also vary depending on your style. Do you want to be entertaining, informational or educational? Find your brand and stick to it to build a loyal following.

Rise of the Indian travel vloggers exploring Antarctica and the Amazon

N ewly affluent Indians are now said to be the world's fastest growing market in global tourism as they explore far-flung destinations from Antarctica to the Amazon.

India became Asia 's highest source of international travellers for the first time in 2022, with tourist numbers exceeding those of China , South Korea and Japan .

Some 27million Indians are now going abroad which is expected to more than double to almost 70million by 2030, according to Bollywood star Deepti Bhatnagar .

Bhatnagar, who has become one of India's most popular travel experts, said tourists are being particularly drawn to sites such as Machu Picchu in Peru and Hallstatt in Austria, which is said to be the inspiration for Arendelle in the Disney film Frozen.

She added that more Indians now have the money to travel abroad and spoke of a 'tick box' culture among the younger generation where they are keen to get the perfect selfie or video to show off to their friends and followers on Instagram .

Tourism into India is also on the rise, particularly for religious trips - and airlines in the country last year ordered more than 1,000 new planes to meet extra demand.

The topic was examined in the new  BBC Radio 4 podcast The Tourist Trap , which sees travelogue presenter Rajan Datar look at the 'relentless rise of global tourism'.

He attended the upmarket tourism trade show Luxury Tribe in New Delhi, saying that it was clear 'millions more Indians now have the cash and the desire to travel the world'.

Bhatnagar, 56, who started India's first travel show on TV more than 20 years ago, told Datar that she had seen a 'huge change from then to now'.

She added: 'There's so many Indians going to Antarctica now. They want to travel to Amazon, they want to travel to Machu Pichu.

'In 2000 when I started a travelogue it was a dream for people to travel. But today they are travelling everywhere and they want to know new places.'

Bhatnagar also spoke about the rise of the 'luxury traveller where they do not think about any budget'.

She said there were now 'many weddings happening all over the world', with some travellers requesting 300 black Mercedes S-class cars for trips.

Bhatnagar spoke about a 50th birthday party in Austria, adding: 'They took over the entire high street, and then Schönbrunn Palace, even the railway stations, because the whole train tracks were converted into 'happy 50th birthday'.'

In 2022, India became for the first time Asia's highest source of international travellers, according to tourism consultancy IPK International.

International tourists that year from India - the world's most populous country - exceeded those of China, South Korea, and Japan, the firm said.

India is now set to be the fourth-biggest global spender on travel by 2030, with travel and tourism expected to become a £322billion market - a rise of about 170 per cent from £118billion in 2019, according to Booking.com.

Speaking about what is causing the boom, Bhatnagar said: 'More Indians have financial means to travel abroad. More and more of these Instagram, digital sites, are showing these beautiful visuals. So I think social media is playing a very strong role.

'They want to go to a certain place to get the selfie. They think that's one of the most photographed spots and they have to be there.

'There's a tick box – they have to tick this box, I've been to Rio, I've been to this spot in Hallstatt. I think the younger generation are usually travelling like that.'

Hallstatt is a lakeside village in Upper Austria which is often praised for its incredible views. 

But it has seen tourism surge in recent years thanks to its links to Frozen and becoming hugely popular among Instagrammers.

Bhatnagar said: 'I think Hallstatt is such a pretty place and it was breathtakingly beautiful, surrounded by mountains, beautiful lake, you can go hiking, you can experience going on a boat cruise ride, and when I was there I really experienced serenity. I have given so many people advice to go to Hallstatt.'

One of the destinations becoming hugely popular with Indians is the US, with the country's Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting the White House to meet President Joe Biden last June in what was seen as a turning point for bilateral relations.

And the US is trying to accommodate this new tourism boom by opening two new consulates in the Indian cities of Bengaluru and Ahmedabad.

For the first five months of 2023, travel from India to the US exceeded pre-pandemic volumes – at a time when other Asian countries were lagging, particularly China, where tourists have been slow to return to the US post-pandemic.

The surge in tourism both in and out of India saw the country's airlines place orders for more than 1,100 planes over the last eight months of 2023.

Among these was the biggest commercial aircraft order in history by Indigo in June last year for 500 Airbus A320 planes, set to be delivered between 2030 and 2035.

This beat a deal from Air India to buy 470 planes from Airbus and Boeing that same month.

India's domestic tourism sector is also booming with an extra 50 to 100million tourists a year expected following the opening of the new Ram Mandir temple in Ayodhya in January.

And many younger Indians are also travelling to other countries for education, with 770,000 Indian students going to study abroad in 2022 – a number which is growing by about 10 per cent each year.

Out of this total almost 140,000 went to the UK. The Office for National Statistics has said nearly a quarter of all visas were given to Indian nationals in 2022 - the highest of any nationality - with 55 per cent of these were for students.

TIS2024 will address the 10 key innovations that are transforming the tourism sector worldwide

TIS – Tourism Innovation Summit will once again turn Seville into the epicenter of tourism innovation and traveltech. The event has opened accreditations to attend the world tourism summit that this year will take place from October 23 to 25 at FIBES. For three days, the more than 7,000 professionals attending will be able to learn about the latest technologies in AI, Business Intelligence, data analytics, cybersecurity, connectivity, 5G and augmented or virtual reality, among others, that are directly impacting the sector.

TIS2024 will once again host a new edition of the Tourism Innovation Global Summit, which will address the current trends and challenges of the tourism sector through ten thematic axes that are postulated as essential for the future of tourism.

The first of these is the promotion of innovation and new technologies in the sector with the aim of improving the tourist experience, anticipating trends and promoting destinations. To this end, experts such as Bruno Hallé, from Cushman & Wakefield, Dolores Ordóñez, from Gaia-X Hub, and representatives from associations such as IFITT, will explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and data in tourism, as well as the importance of cybersecurity and data protection. Digital transformation and digitization of processes to improve tourism business operations and destination management will also be addressed. Professors and experts Dimitrios Buhalis and Carlos Flavian will also analyze the impact of the metaverse on the tourism industry.

Sustainability, circular economy and responsible tourism will also be the focus of debate at the Tourism Innovation Global Summit. Companies such as Ilunion Hotels and TUI Care Foundation will present success stories in the destinations where they operate that apply the circular economy by reducing waste and reusing resources. Initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of tourism and to adapt tourism infrastructures and services to climate change will also be shared. Tourism managers from cities such as Madrid, Amsterdam or Florence will also share their strategies to minimize the environmental impact of tourism in their destinations and the integration of sustainable, responsible and ethical practices. In addition, there will be a debate on mass tourism and how to promote tourism without affecting local communities.

The promotion of accessibility in tourist destinations will also be addressed and projects that promote inclusion will be presented by Magali Bertolucci, head of diversity, inclusion and wellbeing at MSC Cruises.

Changes in consumer preferences, especially post-pandemic, are causing changes in the way we travel and are moving towards a more experiential and personalized tourism. In this context, experts such as Enrique E. Ruiz de Lera, Deputy CMO of Turespaña, will address digital marketing strategies for tourist destinations, as well as new trends in branding and the use of social networks for tourism promotion.

In parallel, TIS2024 will also analyze the tourism economy and its impact at a global level, and the emergence of new business models in the tourism industry that drive innovation, such as the Innovation with Purpose strategy by Ilunion Hotels. Finally, the shortage of qualified personnel in the tourism sector and strategies for attracting and retaining talent will also be discussed by DCH (International Organization of Human Capital Managers).

China, guest country at TIS2024 

The fifth edition of the benchmark tourism summit will continue to expand its international expansion and will include China as a guest country to learn about the trends, technologies and practices that are being implemented in the field of tourism. This is a very important market for Spain, whose travel bookings increased by 260% in the last year according to data provided by Trip.com.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

This country is banning hijabs despite its 98% Muslim population

Share this with

A country which is almost entirely Muslim is set to ban the hijab as it is ‘alien’ to its culture.

Tajikistan has long had an unofficial ban on the religious wear in public institutions, but a new draft law would ban the importation, selling, wearing and advertisement of the hijab.

Those who break the new law could also be fined heavily, from $740 for individuals to $5,400 for legal entities.

Tajik lawmaker Mavludakhon Mirzoeva told Radio Free Europe the draft bill includes a ban on clothes deemed ‘foreign’ to Tajik culture.

Though controversial, the bill is expected to be approved and signed into law by President Emomali Rahmon.

In recent years, special task forces worked to enforce the ban. Police also often raided marketplaces to arrest those breaking the unofficial ban.

Tajikistan also previously banned bushy beards, and forced many men to shave theirs against their will.

Late last year, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom said of Tajikistan: ‘As part of an effort to maintain complete, authoritarian control over all segments of society, the government of Tajikistan commits systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.

‘The Tajik government has placed undue restrictions on all facets of religious practice, including prayer, celebrations, education, and rituals.’

Which other countries ban the hijab?

France, Denmark, Belgium, Sri Lanka, Bulgaria, China, India, Germany and Turkey are just some of the countries that have banned the hijab in some form.

In 2022, authorities temporarily closed all Islamic bookstores in the capital for ‘violating the religion law’.

In 2023, Abdullo Rahmonzoda, the head of the Committee for Youth and Sports, suggested that bloggers shouldn’t grow beards.

His reasoning was ‘promoting’ them online could be seen as sympathising with ‘terrorist groups’ and ‘threatening national security’.

Youths charged over terror plot against Jews days after ‘anti-Semitic rape of 12-year-old girl’

Jews living in the country say it has become a frightening place to live since Hamas’s attack

A teenager and a minor have been charged with planning a terrorist attack on Jewish targets in France, just days after a 12-year-old girl was allegedly gang-raped in an anti-Semitic attack .

Jews living in France , which has the largest Jewish community in western Europe and the biggest outside Israel and the United States, say the country has become a frightening place to live since Oct 7.

“It’s terrifying to see that once again in France, in 2024, we can be physically attacked because we are Jewish,” said Caroline Maury, secretary-general of the Jewish collective Nous Vivrons (We Will Live).

“The attack is all the more terrible as the victim was 12 years old. She was a little girl. The suspects were also between 12 and 13, which reinforces the horror of it all. A new threshold has been reached,” she said.

Nous Vivrons was created following the Oct 7 Hamas attack on Israel , in response to a rise in anti-Semitism.

Reports of Tuesday’s alleged violent sexual assault and taunting with anti-Semitic slurs, in the Paris suburb of Courbevoie, had forced some Jews to consider leaving France, Ms Maury said.

Terror charges

Separately, on Friday, prosecutors charged a 19-year-old man and a youth in the Paris region with planning a terror attack on Jewish targets.

The pair became connected on social media and were planning “a violent action notably aiming at Jewish targets,” a judicial source said. The 19-year-old faces changes of terrorist conspiracy and acquisition and possession of arms for a terrorist enterprise. The youth was arrested on June 13.

Investigators have expressed concern over the young age of some suspects detained in recent months for planning attacks.

“This is a necessarily worrying phenomenon,” senior anti-terrorist prosecutor Olivier Christen said at an evidentiary hearing on Wednesday.

Reports of the alleged rape caused protests to erupt on the streets of the capital and other French cities this week ahead of the imminent snap election and the Paris Olympics.

On Tuesday, three boys aged 12 to 13 were charged with rape, making death threats and insulting the victim’s religion.

Death threat

The girl says she was dragged to an isolated location, where she was beaten to the ground, gang-raped and forced to perform a sex act. During the attack, she claims her assailants put a lighter to her cheek and threatened to kill her if she went to the police.

“This very young girl suffered everything. She suffered anti-Semitic insults, humiliation, threats, physical violence, sexual violence,” Oudy Bloch, lawyer for the victim’s family told French news channel BFM TV on Friday.

“She really believed that she was going to die in this abandoned building,” Mr Bloch said, adding that she is doing poorly, physically and psychologically. “She is not doing well, her family is in shock,” said Mr Bloch.

Details have emerged about the accused, one of whom lived with his mother and was described as violent and angry.

According to Le Figaro, one of the alleged attackers was in a “puppy dog relationship” with the victim, who led him to believe she was Muslim as an act of self-preservation.

‘Hatred in his eyes’

The adolescent, who allegedly had photos of a burning Israeli flag on his phone, is said to have become irate upon learning the girl was in fact Jewish.

“He’s a lost kid and very easily influenced. He has a screw loose,” one woman said of her 13-year-old neighbour in a social housing complex. “You can see that he’s uncomfortable in his skin. You see rage and hatred in his eyes.”

Others said the family, led by an “overwhelmed” single mother of four, had a bad reputation in the building for screaming and fighting, and claimed that the accused was abusive and hit his mother.

“These are particularly poorly behaved people who live without worrying about others,” another unnamed resident told Le Figaro. The shocking details of the attack have made anti-Semitism an election issue.

According to government figures, 366 anti-Semitic acts were recorded between January and March this year, marking a 300 per cent increase on the same period the year before.

Attacks rise four-fold

The latest figures continue an alarming trend from 2023, when the Ministry of Interior recorded 1,676 acts of anti-Semitism, nearly four times the number from 2022. A government report warned that last year was marked by “an explosion” in hate crimes after Oct 7, 12 per cent of which took place in schools.

“Anti-Semitism is now everywhere, you can be a victim of it anywhere. There’s no longer a safe place,” Ms Maury added. “Behind these numbers, there are actual lives. It’s not just statistics.”

Since the Israel-Hamas war, Jews living in fear have taken to removing the Mezuzah, a religious symbol, from their doorpost, or their kippah skullcap from their heads, and are changing their names for deliveries, Ms Maury said. Others are considering leaving France altogether and returning to Israel.

“There’s a lot of fear. I think Jews are afraid and it’s legitimate, it’s not a question of paranoia. There’s been a terrifying reality since Oct 7.”
