YouTube Travel Shows

Follow several world travelers, explorers, and adventures via YouTube using the links below:

Bald and Bankrupt
Benjamin Rich, the Brit behind the wildly successful YouTube phenomenon Bald & Bankrupt, is funny, entertaining, and always unpredictable. But more than anything, he is fearless. With a channel unlike anything else out there, Bald (as he often calls himself on the show) seeks to highlight the lives of real people in the forgotten corners of the former Soviet Union and elsewhere.
Indigo Traveller
New Zealander Nick Fisher curates one of the all-around best travel channels on YouTube, as the friendly Kiwi seeks to explore lesser-known and misunderstood destinations often negatively portrayed in the media. In countries like Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Somalia, his laid-back demeanor enables him to effortlessly chat up locals to help show viewers what life is really like behind the headlines.
Kara & Nate
This husband and wife duo from Nashville recently achieved their goal of visiting 100 countries after four straight years of travel, amassing 1.3 million subscribers along the way. The self-described “awkward newlyweds” always seem to discover an interesting angle to their travels, from living with a local family in Bhutan and documenting the wonderfully bizarre World Nomadic Games in Kyrgyzstan to skiing inside a mall in Dubai and climbing an active volcano in Vanuatu.
The Endless Adventure
Eric and Allison Bieller were living a comfortable life in San Francisco with two steady jobs and plenty of Netflix to watch on the couch with their cats... but they realized something was missing, so they booked a one-way flight and never looked back. Calling themselves “just two Midwestern goofballs” who “wanted to live a more intentional life full of adventure,” the couple can be seen scouring the globe in search of unique destinations, foods, and experiences like driving a tuk tuk in the Philippines, documenting the sprawling Tokyo food scene, and uncovering hidden street art in Romania. They often stay in unique, visually pleasing Airbnbs like a floating tiny house in Sweden and a WWII bunker in France, mixing their quirky “everyman” aesthetic with useful travel tips for viewers.
