Great list! I'd also suggest taking a look at Peter Santanello's videos: https://www.youtube.com/@PeterSantenello He's mostly focused on the US now, and has some great series on Appalachia, the US/Mexico border, and now the Deep South. Definitely worth checking out. I agree with you on Indigo Traveller as well. He's very mild mannered, so the click baity titles are a put off, and, yeah, recently (especially the one on Jamaica), it was almost as if nothing positive could be said.

Thanks Chris :)

“After all, maybe I should have started a travel channel back in the day…” is exactly what I am thinking too as I lived in South Korea for 15 years and travelled throughout East and Southeast Asia. Though I should not complain as I made friends in every country, had many super experiences, and thus became a big lover of the areas I travelled through.

Good luck juggling your life and fitting in some travel.

Kind of funny, my wife and I watch ~14 travel vloggers and none cross over with your list. I've heard of two on your list (Indego & Bald). Maybe we're more focused on what looks more like vacation travel where it sounds like your list is more edgy. Also funny after watching some of these channels for up to like 6 years, to see how they evolve. Several of the channels we watch are having kids now or buying brick and mortar places, so that has led to the content changing. Or you have someone like Kara & Nate that have morphed into niches like physical challenges & higher end reviews. In any event there's a lot of creative and entertaining people out there.
