- Sidemen - $20,000 vs $200 Holiday (Europe Edition)
Sidemen is a group of influencers, YouTubers, and some artists who have a YouTube channel that focuses mainly on challenges. Even though they’re not travel vloggers, they made a video in which they had to split into two groups and go to different places in Spain for a holiday. The orange team had a budget of $20,000 and went to Malaga; meanwhile, the purple team had a budget of $200 and travelled to Benidorm. Each team was given envelopes with different challenges, but only the purple team had real challenges, like as getting a selfie with a group, finding a karaoke bar, and many more, while the others enjoyed the facility. The first team stayed in a luxurious mansion, and the second stayed in a small hotel. If you want to see more, go check their video, but we advise you to grab a snack, it’s two hours long.
- JStu - Overnight in the World’s Most Dangerous Hotel
JStu is a YouTube channel that consists of multiple members and focuses primarily on challenges based on survival and travel. In this video, three of them stayed for 24 hours in one of the most dangerous hotels - the Frying Pan Tower, located in the Atlantic Ocean, 35 miles away from land. This Tower used to be a lighthouse that would guide ships to prevent any crashing. Anyhow, you can only travel there in a helicopter; the ocean is filled with dangerous marine animals like sharks and barracuda, and the weather conditions could be unsafe. The host made a tour of the tower and showed them where they would sleep. Afterwards, each of them was lowered with the rope into the ocean and even touched the water. If this is not adrenaline, then I don’t know what else is.
- Yes Theory - Travelling to the Least Visited Country in the World
Yes Theory is a YouTube channel that has a team of four people who put emphasis on human connection while travelling. In this travel vlog, Thomas Brag searched for the least-visited country in the world: Tuvalu, an island country in Oceania. He proceeded to see this country that is at risk of disappearing due to the rising oceans caused by climate change. After he landed, the fascinating sights of palm trees, clear ocean, and overall tropical scenery were captured with his drone. Throughout the video, he engaged with the friendly locals, played football with some kids, and even befriended some people and learnt how close the Tuvaluan community is.
Honestly, the cultural exchange part is why we love Yes Theory, and we consider it to be one of the best travel YouTube channels.
- Kara and Nate - We Slept on The Side of A Mountain
This has to be one of the best travel YouTube channels because Kara and Nate transformed their hobbies and passion into full-time careers. This couple visited 100 countries, and they have been living in a van and travelling across America for some years. One video stood out to us the most. They travelled to the Sacred Valley in Peru, and oh my, the scenery is spectacular. What’s even more wild is that the place they're sleeping in is like a capsule that is attached to the side of a mountain. The only way they got there was to climb 400m on the mountain. Once inside the capsule, they managed to capture incredible shots of beautiful nature. This activity is not for the weak; they also had to climb to another capsule, which was the kitchen.
- Drew Brinsky - Spending 3 Days in The World's Strangest City
Drew Brinsky, a courageous travel YouTuber who is known for visiting the most dangerous countries on Earth, had spent 3 days in Ashgabat from Turkmenistan, or as he quotes it, “The World’s Strangest City’’. This country is at the top of the least-visited countries because it’s really difficult and expensive to get in there. Drew, with his tour guide, showed Ashgabat, the capital, the marvelous buildings made of white marble, and the biggest fountain in Central Asia. This country looked like a dystopian world, with no people on the street in the daytime, and it gave a haunting feeling of being watched by guards.

What we enjoyed about this video is how natural everything seems, from the way she travels with her dog and van to the warm interactions with the locals. While she uncovers the beauty of this valley-like town, she shares the history of how it became a gold mining village with a multitude of people. Not only that, but she engaged in a conversation with a local person and talked about the cultural differences between a remote town and a metropolitan city. This individual was raised in this town, and he explained how there’s no school in this area, and how just a few people remained here and stuck together.

On top of that, she’s truly talented. For instance, one of our favorite travel vlogs is her solo trip to Antarctica. We couldn’t believe the scenery in this video, it was out of this world. The quality, shots, everything is truly impeccable. For her to arrive in Antarctica, she had to get to Ushuaia, Argentina, then with the ship, crossing the Drake Passage. It’s a long trip, but it was worth it. She captures the wildlife of Antarctica, with the adorable seals, different species of penguins. Allison, with other tourists and the guides, was heading on a boat to view the surroundings, like the impressive Icebergs, and they even encountered a gigantic whale. We wholeheartedly recommend that you watch this video!

They all had a conversation about how Ben and Lisa bought the island, how they took people on tours in the jungle, threw parties, ran a regatta, and many more activities. For a couple of years, they built a resort and had no one on the island. The guest gave them a full tour of the island, discussed the architecture, how they built the treehouses, the little details, how they envisioned the rooms, and even showed the Wynns an underground living roof room.

16. vagabrothers - The Maroons | Jamaica's Forgotten Nation
Vagabrothers are indeed two brothers who travel the world, and one video that stood up to us was their trip to Jamaica’s Blue Mountain, into Scott’s Hall, one of the Jamaican Maroons' towns. They’ve learnt about the maroons' history, how they are descendants of enslaved Africans who escaped and some settled in Jamaica because that’s where the Spanish brought them. The Colonel and other important members of Maroon Town shared some insights about their past, about the town, and even took the vagabrothers on a tour of the place with a big truck. They viewed the multitude of rivers, the jungle, which showed them that the water of their rivers is potable and clean, ate a specific Jamaican fruit called Malay apple, and even learnt about many other plants. It’s so refreshing to discover cultures that still have their unique traditions, beliefs, and maintain their strong independence.
