That list of youtube channels features the heavy hitters and best travel vloggesr on YouTube, including Vagabrothers, Mark Weins, Kristen and Siya, Samuel and Audrey and Hey Nadine. So check that out here .

We didn’t want to mess with Christine’s list, but we did want to share more amazing youtube travel channels with you that we check out weekly. Christine had a strict criteria for her choices for the best travel channel like consistent updates, niche, and channels that bring a new spin on the word Travel Show – (She knows what she likes and she has a TV producing background after all).

Best Travel YouTube Channels

We chose our list of YouTube travel channels in a similar fashion. They are people we watch regularly, they update consistently, and have entertaining videos and personalities and do creative work. These travel YouTubers combined with Christine’s list are the best travel channels on youtube. They make us want to travel and I know they will do the same for you. 

Most Inspiring YouTube Travel Channels

Because of his high production value, Mike is hired a lot for companies and brands to make professional travel videos on their channels. Mike is so charismatic, he is a host on the BBC Travel channel too!

When we first wrote this list (and Christine wrote hers) Drew Binskey wasn’t even on the radar yet. And now he has exploded to become the most successful youtube travel channel out there.

He is always showing you what it is really like to travel to a place and he features locals in interviews showcasing their culture and every day life.

Her 8 part video series highlights her climb of Mount Kilimanjaro with World Vision Canada. Her videos are professional quality and she is highly sought after by brands and destinations to produce travel videos.

4. Going Awesome Places

Will of Going Awesome Places covers everything travel. From what travel gear he uses, to giving you inspiration to create your own trips. We love his editing style, use of drones and the feeling of taking you into the destination as you travel along. Will has some great adventures and is a serious adventure traveler but he also has a lot of fun showing travels that everyone can do too!

5. Tourist2Townie

Gareth travels slow and really delves into the destination that he visits. Tourist2Townie travelled extensively in Brazil and became a sensation in Brazil. While visiting a Rio favela, we even saw his logo plastered on the walls of the community. Now that’s fame! 

He’s now left South America and is bigger than ever traveling the world and sharing his video series from each country he visits on his exceptional travel channel.

6. Expert Vagabond

Matthew Karsten is the king of adventure travel doing everything from diving with sharks in South Africa (without a cage) to trekking solo across Greenland. If you want inspiration or need some motivation to get your lazy butt off the couch, check out his videos that he’s posted from his years of travelling around the world.

Update: We shared Matt’s video above in 2019 when updating this article and couldn’t believe this moment never went viral. Well guess what? It finally hit the big time and everyone is buzzing about that penguin now. Check it out.

7. Steve Hanisch

Steve is another travel videographer with high production value on his travel channel that is sought after by tourism board and travel brands. He speaks around the world about making travel videos and produces his videos in both English and German. He’s also got a great sense of humour and is an all-around nice guy.

8. Be My Travel Muse

Kristin is one of the top female travel bloggers and is making waves in the travel vlogging world now too! Travel along with your laid back vibe as she goes around the world to places like the Philippines and Mexico to everywhere in between. She does adventure travels and we love how she chats directly to the audience making you feel like a friend.

Maiku runs his own production company and has won several video awards. We always love checking out his videos. He has put together some great video series that keep you hooked on what is coming next. I really like his behind the scenes information and journalist quality videos like the video above showcasing the Toronto restaurant market.

10. David’s Been Here

David Hoffmann has been traveling the world since 2008. We met him in Istanbul and since that time his YouTube Channel that focuses on food and travel has skyrocketed! With videos uploaded nearly every day from 77 countries and over 1,000 destinations, you’ll never run out of things to watch!

11. Getting Stamped

Adam and Hanna are that dreamy couple that you see on commercials showcasing exotic destinations. They were made for starring in their own travel channel. We love going to island destinations with them as they showcase beautiful locales with their drone work and fanstastic cinematography.

12. Vacation Couple

Kristin and Shadi specialize in resort tours and when we book vacations, we check out their travel channel first. Shadi is a graphic artist by trade, so his work is second to none. When you watch their travel videos, you feel like you are watching a Club Med advertisement and will want to book a luxurious getaway right now!

13. Nomadasaurus

Alesha and Jarryd are an Australian adventure couple that have been on the go for since meeting in a hostel in 2008. They’ve recently returned home after a decade of traveling the world and are showcasing their life in a van through fun videos. We love their organic style and sense of adventure in their videos.

14. Christopher Rudder

Chris is a fellow Canuck who shares his love for travel through his cinematic style and very sexy voiceovers. (this is Deb talking here 🙂 I feel like I am watching a full on travel show when watching Chris as he covers everything from adventure to food, culture and city guides.

15. CAILIN O’NEIL

Cailin was one of the first travel bloggers/youtubers we ever discovered. Coming from a film and TV background she puts a lot of information and personality into her videos. Cailin is a fellow Canuck who has a great sense of humour and a talent for storytelling. Coming from a film and tv background, she makes her travel videos feel like a proper documentary-like one of our favourites the Tomatino Festival.

16. Cammy D

Cameron is the son of one of the world’s top travel writers, Heather Greenwood Davis and he is going to be a star. While still in school, he’s been producing travel vlogs about travels that he’s been on with his family. He’s been branching out recently from travel to tackle subjects like racism, the importance of youth voices, and even showing off his talents in video games.

17. Brendan Vanson

Brendan has a great mix of photography tuturials and day vlogging. Mixing his talents for photography and his great sense of humour, he has been able to carve out a unique niche that has attracted a large following. If you love to take pictures of your travels, you’ll love his getting the shots series “Where he explains how he takes his breathtaking images.

18. ThePlanetD

wow, thanks for putting this piece of information together

Thank you Dave and Deb for sharing this great article. Me and my wife We love travelling and when we not travelling, we can watch someone else travelling…)

An indeed insightful collection of travel youtube channels one would wish to watch.

Thank you very much theplanetd.com to telling us about inspiring travel channel.

This Guy “Indigo Traveller” is really a worthy mention. Gives us an insight into North Korea

Way late to the game but I’d recommend Indigo Traveller. He puts out lots of great content, goes to a number of less poplar destinations (including NK), and seems like a genuinely awesome guy to boot.

Check out Chasing Everywhere! She travel the world full time and makes videos of unique places she finds. Really beautiful drone footage and great tips and tricks! youtube.com/chasingeverywhere

Thanks for letting us know. We’ll definitely check them out! This post is a year or so old, so it is time to update it for sure. Cheers Deb

Hey there! When/if you update your YouTube adventure travels to watch list, maybe consider QE Adventures (short for Quinn and Ethan Adventures).

These teenage brothers are skilled videographers and editors and personably narrate their family friendly high adventures in a style that makes audiences wish they’d come along. It’s one of the few channels with videos from the teenage travelers’ perspectives.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1K9qsPWma9X-tEmrK4wq6Q

Love this post!! Thankyou!! So much inspiration in one page its insane! You guys should definitely check out our youtube channel too! We are Mami & Papi – young parents with a passion for life! Our channel is recent but slowly upcoming – we hope to become insipration to others too one day 🙂 https://m.youtube.com/channel/UC8vQHR5Du1dx1LVEoqL_KUQ

Thanks for sharing your channel. I’ll be sure to check it out and all the best to you!

Hi, Dave and Deb.

Have to say a relay wonderful blog 🙂 Something similar what we have started our self, but we are aiming for local travel experience in our small but very beautiful country Lithuania. As I see you haven’t been here. You are very very welcomed here. Although we are small but that does not mean we don’t have anything to show 🙂 Would be super so see your experience of our countr here 🙂

Cheers, Auste and Justas @ TravelingLithuania

Thanks! We’d love to come to Lithuania in the near future.

What is with the popularity contest? This is the same boring list that everyone publishes. I’m so tired of seeing the same people on these lists, two of whom should not be included!

You are more than welcome to add some names. We asked if anyone had someone to add. So put them on the list. These are the people we follow and enjoy. Also, there is another list that Christine wrote for us just before we compiled this one. that we talked about at the beginning of this blog post. (if you read it) And the reason we decided to do a part two. Sorry if you are not on it, I am not familiar with your videos, but I’ll take a look. I don’t know everyone out there. But I try.

Ah, I just went and took a look at your YouTube travel channel and see that you haven’t posted in two years. That would be the reason I hadn’t thought of you. Good luck if you start posting again. PS, I deleted your comment made under the John Doe email address as I see it is from the same IP address as you, (within minutes of each other) and nobody needs to read a second complaint saying the same thing by you under a pseudonym. But I left yours up because I feel that people have a right to their opinion. Cheers!

Great collection, getting entertained and inspired to travel. Thanks

Amazing collection of channels here! I really dig the aggregation and attribution going on. Thanks for sharing these channels with us!

Thanks for the recommendations, I will check these out!

So my channel isn’t quite as robust as many of the ones mentioned here, but it does highlight a part of the world that none of these Youtube channels even go near. Check it out! I’d love to hear your feedback.

Xinjiang | FarWestChina Youtube Channel

Thanks for sharing Josh, I’ll definitely check you out! You should leave your link so everyone can find you!

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.

How to Watch YouTube TV While Traveling (Outside the US)?

YouTube TV is a fantastic way to watch live TV channels without a cable subscription, but it's only available in the United States . Also, it's hard to imagine YouTube TV coming to other countries due to overly complicated broadcast rights. That said, your best option is to use a VPN that has the power to unblock YouTube TV outside the US .

Unfortunately, even if they have US servers, most VPNs can’t unblock YouTube TV. That’s because they don’t have the required security and privacy features needed to hide your VPN use. YouTube TV's geo-blocks are quite aggressive, and not many VPNs still work .

In this article, we’ll show you the best VPNs that let you watch YouTube TV while traveling . You’ll also learn how to watch YouTube TV when you’re in another US state. On top of that, we’ll tell you which VPNs have fast speeds for buffer-free streaming and how you can purchase a subscription. Let's dive right in!

How to Watch YouTube TV While Traveling

Since YouTube TV is available in the US only, you'll need to connect to a US-based server to unblock the streaming service. Just follow these steps:

1. First,  subscribe to NordVPN , which can unblock YouTube TV while traveling.

2. Proceed to  set up NordVPN on your device(s).

3. Once you launch NordVPN's app , click on ' Log In ' in the top-right corner.

4. Your Web browser will launch, asking for your NordVPN credentials .

5. Once you return to the VPN app, connect to any US-based server .

6. Wait until it says ' Connected ' at the top, indicating your VPN session is now live.

7. Now, access YouTube TV  on your device (via its app(s) or website).

That's it! As long as you're connected to a server in the US, YouTube TV will remain accessible. Also, since NordVPN comes with unlimited bandwidth, you can keep it active all the time, especially if you want to encrypt and safeguard your private data.

How to Watch YouTube TV Outside the US

If you're currently outside the United States, there's still a way to subscribe and access YouTube TV from abroad. This is a bit tricky workaround, but it should work without any issues. Go through the following steps.

The following method will ask you to buy a Play Store gift card, the only method available to subscribe to YouTube TV outside the US. You'll need to subscribe to YouTube TV on the Web first. After that, you can install its Android or iOS/iPadOS app.

1. Begin by  subscribing to NordVPN using your Web browser.

2. Then, you need to set up NordVPN on the device(s) you'll use to watch YouTube TV.

3. Open NordVPN and activate your account using the ' Log In ' button.

4. Make sure to connect to a US server using NordVPN's interactive map.

5. Now, proceed to buy a  Google Play Store gift card  (via Amazon). Keep in mind that you need to have  enough funds   for   one full month  of YouTube TV.

6. Then, redeem your gift card code via  Play Store on the Web .

While redeeming your gift card, make sure that you're signed in to the Google account you'll use on your device to watch YouTube TV. To avoid any issues, that account should be associated with an address from the US. Therefore, consider  creating a new Google account  while running NordVPN in the background.

7. Now, proceed to  sign up for YouTube TV  (on your computer).

8. Enter your  ZIP code  (which should correspond to the area of the chosen VPN server).

9. Pick your  base plan , and pick any   add-ons  you want to use.

10. Review your subscription and choose to pay   using your Play Store balance .

11. Click on ' Start Trial ' to register your account and begin using YouTube TV.

Upon subscribing, you can also download the YouTube TV app on your iPhone or Android device. Just make sure you have a US-based Apple/Google account. And, of course, make sure to run the VPN app before you access YouTube TV.

What's the Best VPN to Watch YouTube TV While Traveling

The best YouTube TV VPN should have servers in the US. It also needs fast speeds so that you don't deal with buffering and quality drops. The VPN also needs high-end encryption and strong data leak protection so that your actual IP address doesn't leak to YouTube TV.

Based on those factors, these are the 4 best VPNs for watching YouTube TV while traveling: 

• NordVPN - This VPN is our #1 recommendation and the best way to watch YouTube TV while traveling. It has 5,800+ servers in 60 countries, including close to 2,000 US servers. You get fast speeds, ultra-fast protocols like NordLynx, a no-logs policy, and the ability to unblock a lot more US and non-US streaming services. Get NordVPN .
• Surfshark - This VPN is known for its ultra-fast speed and ease of use. You get 3,200+ servers in 100 countries, including 600+ servers across 15+ US cities. It works with YouTube TV with ease, as well as with any similar live TV streaming service. You also get OpenVPN and WireGuard, a no-logs policy, and 24/7 live chat support. Get Surfshark .
• ExpressVPN - You get 3,000+ servers in 105 countries with this VPN, which also includes hundreds of servers in the US. ExpressVPN is among the best VPNs for streaming, and it's known for its fast speeds, thanks to the Lightway protocol. It offers apps for any device, a no-logs policy, and features 24/7 live chat support. Get ExpressVPN .
• CyberGhost - This VPN has streaming-dedicated servers in the US. So, we were always able to access YouTube TV. In addition, its fast speeds helped us avoid buffering, quality drops, and long loading screens. Overall, it has 9,000+ servers in 100+ countries, has the OpenVPN/WireGuard protocols, and more. Get CyberGhost VPN .

We made sure to highlight only the best picks above. However, your options don't end there. So, if you wish to learn more about the recommended VPNs, as well as explore more options, our guide to the best VPN for YouTube TV should be your next destination.

How Does a VPN Let You Watch YouTube TV Outside the USA?

A VPN lets you watch YouTube TV while traveling by making it look like you're in the US . In other words, a VPN gives you an American IP address, giving you access to US-based sites.

Basically, when you use a VPN server, it acts as a middleman between you and YouTube TV. Instead of your traffic heading directly to the site, it first stops by the VPN server. Overall, your connection will look like this:

You --> VPN Server --> YouTube TV

Because of that, YouTube TV will your connection request is coming from the VPN, not your device. Since connection requests contain IP addresses (among other data), YouTube TV will only see the VPN's IP address.

As long as the VPN server is from the US, the site will think you're communicating with it from a US IP . Since YouTube TV is available there, the website won't restrict your access with geo-blocks - and that's how you'll get to watch YouTube TV outside home area.

Can YouTube TV Block VPNs?

Yes, just like other streaming services, YouTube TV can block VPNs.  So, the trick is to use a proven VPN that has the power to unblock YouTube TV outside home area.

The VPNs we listed in this article currently work with YouTube TV. However, the website might eventually block their IPs. Still, that shouldn't be a problem since these providers refresh their servers' IPs very often.

If you'd like some tips to lower the risk of seeing the VPN/proxy error, try this:

• Use a  different VPN server .
• Try another VPN protocol .
• Use your browser's  incognito/private  mode.
• Clear your browser's  cache  and  cookies  before using YouTube TV with a VPN.
• Restart your VPN as well as your router.
• If you're on Windows, disable your computer's firewall .
• Get a  dedicated VPN IP .

How to Pay for YouTube TV Outside the US

You can only pay for YouTube TV with an American payment method. Based on that, here are some options to consider:

• Purchase a US-based gift card. You can get a US-based gift card from any online retailer ( we recommend Amazon ). Remember that you must also use a US address to sign up. Plus, you’ll need to be connected to your VPN in a region that matches the address you used. That’s because YouTube will verify the location on your device. 
• Use a virtual credit card. The most popular one is StatesCard because it comes with a US billing address. You can sign up for it from anywhere and use it to subscribe to YouTube TV. Be aware that StatesCard will charge you a one-time fee and a monthly subscription.  

Can You Subscribe to YouTube TV Outside the USA Using a PayPal Account?

If your PayPal is not set up in the US, YouTube TV won't let you use it. Also, you'll need to have a US-based payment method associated with your PayPal account.

So, why not register a new PayPal account while connected to the US server? Well, you can do that, but PayPal will ask for a valid US phone number.

You could get one with services like  OpenPhone  or  CallHippo , but we can't vouch for how efficient those methods are. It's much, much easier to just use a gift card, as explained above.

What VPN Speeds Do You Need to Watch YouTube TV Outside the US?

Anything over 20-30 Mbps  should be enough to let you stream YouTube TV.  According to YouTube TV's support , these are the speeds you need to watch YouTube TV while traveling:

If you experience slowdowns because you already have low ISP speeds, here's how to speed up a slow VPN . Also, learn more about the fastest VPN services on the market.

Is YouTube TV Available Internationally?

No, YouTube TV is not available internationally; it’s only available in the United States. 

That’s because every country has different companies that pay for the rights to air shows and movies in their region. YouTube TV lets you watch US television channels, and they only have the right to air content in that country. 

Can I Watch YouTube TV Outside of My Home Area?

Yes, you can watch YouTube TV outside home area - but only while using a VPN.

When you sign up for the service, you’re asked for a ZIP code, which becomes your home area. You can change this, but it’s only allowed twice a year. 

When you travel to a different US state, you can watch the channels from your home area with a VPN. That’s because each region has different channels and different licensing agreements.

What Can You Watch on YouTube TV While Traveling Domestically?

While traveling domestically, YouTube TV will provide you with local networks for the location you're visiting (you can't record local programming outside of your home area), local sports programs , and sports programs from your home area if they're available in other regions .

Moreover, you will also get to access nationally available networks , including both live and on-demand programs, but since some networks have different versions for different time zones, you'll see the live version that matches your travel location. The best part is that you can also watch all your recorded programs from your home area once they've completed airing on live TV.

How to Access Other Region Channels on YouTube TV When You Are in Your Home Location

You can enjoy all the regional channels the YouTube TV streaming service offers in the United States if you use a VPN to change your IP address .

Open your chosen VPN app on your device, select a VPN server from the region where the desired TV network is available, and turn on the VPN.

Remember to do this before accessing the streaming platform. If you're doing this from a browser and it doesn't work, clear your cache and cookies and try again. Also, don't forget to turn off the VPN when you want to return to your local programming on YouTube TV.

Can You Watch YouTube TV in Multiple Locations at the Same Time?

To watch YouTube TV in multiple locations at the same time, you need to use a workaround to access different geo-specific programming at the same time, and the solution includes using a VPN to achieve your goal.

The first thing we should say is that you can have 6 accounts linked to this service , each with its own login, personalized content recommendations, and individual DVR library.

However, the service offers 3 streams that can run simultaneously on different devices (the 4K Plus add-on includes unlimited streams for an additional charge).

Here's more information based on which YouTube TV plan you currently use:

• If you have a standard YouTube TV membership , since 3 is the limit for simultaneous streams, open NordVPN on 3 devices, select the desired VPN servers on each, and turn on the app everywhere. Now, open YouTube TV on each of these, and you will see the platform's content offering for the locations you selected on each device.
• If you have the 4K Plus add-on with unlimited streams , you will be able to watch YouTube TV in multiple locations at the same time, but up to 6 locations this time. That's not a problem for NordVPN since it supports up to 6 simultaneous connections.

If it's on-demand content you're looking to unblock on YouTube TV while traveling abroad, know that the 4K Plus add-on allows you to save recordings from your Library to your phone or tablet so you can watch offline, so you can use this to your advantage.

Final Thoughts

Even though it’s restricted to the United States, you can use a VPN to watch YouTube TV from any country in the world. The only trick is to pick a VPN with US servers. However, most VPNs won’t work with the service, so you have to make sure you choose the right one. 

We recommend NordVPN for accessing YouTube TV while traveling. This VPN has 15+ locations in the US, so you’ll always be able to unblock the streaming service. Plus, it consistently gave us blazing-fast speeds. And aside from YouTube TV, it works with other platforms as well.

Does YouTube TV Have International Channels?

Yes, YouTube TV has international channels but only as paid add-ons. You can choose between channels in Spanish, Hindi, Korean, and more. 

Is YouTube TV Available in Canada?

No, YouTube TV is not available in Canada. However, if you’re in (or traveling to) Canada, you can use a VPN to access YouTube TV by connecting to a US server.

Can You Watch YouTube TV Outside the US with a VPN?

Yes, you can watch YouTube TV outside the US with a VPN. If you want high-quality streams with zero buffering, along with constant access to your favorite YouTube TV channels, we recommend sticking to the VPNs recommended above.

Can You Watch YouTube TV in Different Locations?

Yes, you can watch YouTube TV from anywhere as long as you use a VPN with US servers. 

How Do You Get Around YouTube TV Travel Restrictions?

You can get around YouTube TV travel restrictions by using a VPN. This tool lets you connect to a server in a different location, making it look like you’re accessing YouTube TV from a region where it’s available.

In the past decade, living the nomadic lifestyle has exploded in popularity, and travel bloggers that are looking to stand out have flocked to YouTube to vlog about their travels instead.

Vlogging makes travel personal . There's something about speaking directly to an audience, looking them in the eyes, and taking them along with you on your travels that gets wanderlusters hooked.

With engaging storytelling, fresh creativity, clever editing, and informative details, YouTube vloggers and creators can share their expertise and teach aspiring or soon-to-be travelers how to navigate the unfamiliar.

With so much travel-related content existing on YouTube today, it can be hard to sift through the thousands upon thousands of Youtube travel channels to find who produces the best travel video blogs .

Quality and consistency are what make a YouTube channel stand out from the crowd, along with a unique perspective that creates an engaging experience for the viewer. It's important for the best travel YouTubers to inspire, inform, and to create content that gets the mind racing with possibilities.

This adventure-fueled family decided they weren't done exploring the world and discovering what life had in store for them, so they opted to skip the whole "settling down" stereotype.

In 2015, they took a huge leap and sold everything in the name of travel and are thankful every day that they were brave enough to do so. Since then, they have explored the globe with their three small children and are having a blast!

Rachael Grow

Let's Grow There

Over the past five years I have worn many hats as a creative freelancer and have been able to pursue adventures across the globe. To me, travel is more than checking a box or sitting on the perfect beach all day. Travel is about self-discovery, keeping an open mind, and learning through culture immersion. In 2017 I was chosen by one of my favorite travel bloggers, The Blonde Abroad, to attend her first ever blogging retreat in Bali with a handful of other inspiring bloggers. It was truly a dream that taught me so much more than I could imagine. Fast-forward to 2019 when I was given the role of one of the lead English writer for Worldpackers. My in-depth articles touched on subjects like volunteer work, overcoming post-travel blues, outdoorsy tips, and boldly adventuring. Inner growth is my jam.

Callum and Jake Robinson: Parents set to visit area where Perth brothers last surfed before disappearance

The parents of Callum and Jake Robinson are due to visit the site where the brothers and their American friend last surfed before they vanished, following the heart-wrenching task of having to formally identify their sons’ bodies.

Following a mercy dash to Mexico to be closer to the investigation into their sons’ disappearance and formally identifying their bodies, Perth parents Martin and Debra Robinson will visit the area where their boys had been enjoying their holiday before they vanished.

It is understood they will visit San Miguel Beach to see the last place their sons went for a surf together before they were shot dead during their camping trip, according to news reports.

Local Ensenada surfers also gathered at the beach to pay their respects to the trio.

Journalism for the curious Australian across politics, business, culture and opinion.

The brothers and their friend Jack Carter Rhoad went missing in the Baja California region, near Ensenada, while on a surfing and camping trip.

The trio had been travelling in Mexico when they failed to check in to accommodation in the city of Rosarita on the coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula on April 28.

Their bodies were recovered after they were found down a 15m-deep well in the La Bocana, Santo Tomas district in Baja California on Friday.

A fourth body was also found in the well, which is believed to a property owner who went missing several weeks ago.

On Monday, Mexican authorities confirmed that the Robinsons formally identified the bodies of their sons, who are believed to have been murdered by thieves trying to steal their ute for its tyres.

Baja California Attorney-General Maria Elena Andrade Ramirez told a media conference that investigators believe the three men were killed when they resisted the robbery.

According to the Baja California Forensic Medical Service, all three died from a gunshot wound to the head.

Mr and Mrs Robinson arrived in Mexico on Sunday and were photographed leaving the Baja California Forensic Medical Service’s morgue in Ensenada with local authorities.

“The confirmation comes after the victims’ families were able to identify them, without the need for genetic testing,” the Attorney-General’s office said in a statement.

A burnt-out pickup truck, which belonged to the men, was also located in the Santo Tomas area — reportedly with a firearm inside it.

Mexican media outlet Zeta Tijuana reported Jesus Gerardo Garica Cota, also known as El Kekas, his 23-year-old partner Ari Gisel Garcia Cota and Kekas’ brother Cristian Alejandro Garcia were charged after Mexican authorities found the four bodies.

Jesus Gerardo Garcia faces a “forced disappearance” charge.

It is understood all three were in possession of methamphetamine and other illegal drugs when they were arrested.

Prosecutors believe the charged trio were familiar with the area in which the bodies were found and that more people may have been involved in the carjacking.

Baja Californian locals also took to the streets to march and demand improved security in the area, local news outlet En Contraste reported.

Some held surfboards with messages, including “Australia, we are with you” and “They only wanted to surf and they executed them”.

10 Best YouTube Travel Vloggers To Follow in 2024!

Looking for inspiration for your next trip or just the opportunity to live vicariously through other travelers? Look no further than travel vloggers. These are the 10 most inspiring travel vloggers you should follow on YouTube!

They say you are what you consume. Not just the food you put in, but also the content you put in your mind! So you must be careful of what you feed on to align with what you want out of life.

Are you passionate about travel and want to see more of the world but always lack the motivation to just get outside and explore? Then it's time to watch some travel vlogs.

Travel vlogs can help you plan your next trip by showcasing corners of the world that you might not have considered. They also share tips to help you get the most out of your next travel experience.

But with thousands of travel vlogs out there, which ones should you be watching? Here are my 10 best travel vlog channels to inspire you this year.

Top 10 Travel Vloggers on YouTube

This list includes stylish 5-star travelers, full-time digital nomads, and budget backpackers. Some are solo travelers, couples, and families touring by plane, train, and automobile – usually a decked-out van-turned-RV!

They share destination recommendations, travel tips, and personal thoughts on why they travel and how it's changed their lives.

But if you're more of a reader than a watcher, these  travel blogs  will be more up your alley.

10. Ginger on the Go

Ginger on the Go is a relatively new travel vlogger. Still, he's already standing out from the pack by sharing some of the most relatable travel content on YouTube. 

As a digital nomad, he often stays in budget-friendly places you might consider for yourself. Resorts and hotels can be quite pricey!

He shares valuable profiles of popular destinations with a fun twist, like flipping a coin to decide what to do. He isn't afraid to go off the beaten track and try something completely different. Ginger also shares helpful travel tips, such as packing guides and how to save.

9. Wolters World

Wolters World is both a  website  and a YouTube channel that follows the travels of a typical family. They started vlogging when they found most of their online recommendations were generic and uninspiring. This family of travel vloggers has now been to more than 90 countries.

As well as sharing top things to do, they talk a lot about what to expect from local cultures and customs. They also dedicate time to things "not to do," so you don't offend locals, get ripped off, or waste your time.

8. FunForLouis

If you want a travel vlogger that creates content as fast as you can consume it, tune into Louis' daily vlog posts. Besides being very charismatic, he's an adventurous traveler who shares unpredictable stories, such as run-ins with the Mexican police and buying a travel ban in Europe.

Louis started traveling in 2012 and has since been joined by partner Raya, who matches Louis' passion and energy. The vlog highlights conversations with locals, how they live their lives, and the advice they would give to friends worldwide.

7. PsychoTraveller

Alyshia Ford characterizes herself as the PsychoTraveller. A bit weird, I know! She's on a continuous travel journey where she shares weekly posts of what she's up to. She loves food and wine, and as a psychology graduate, she uses her knowledge to provide different layers of interpretation for her experiences.

Aly has traveled so extensively that she's decided to return to some of her favorite destinations, determined to get the most out of it. By traveling back, she documents how fast the world is changing.

6. Samuel and Audrey

Traveling couples will find kindred spirits in travel vloggers Samuel and Audrey. They're a pair passionate about discovering new cultures and eating their way around the globe. The mixture of travel destinations and love stories makes for a compelling viewing experience.

Their channel is now branching out as the pair renovates a hotel in Argentina. You'll enjoy living this adventure vicariously through their updates and destination posts.

5. Grrrltraveler

Grrrltraveler is completely put together by Christine Kaaloa, who has spent years traveling the world, mostly on solo trips. As a travel YouTuber, she is an excellent reference for women who enjoy solo travel. 

She's a professional photographer and writer living in Hawaii, a hotspot tourist destination. This makes her more  readable  and watchable than most.

Christine also shares the logistics of how she manages to travel as much as she does, how she balances work with travel, and how she makes money from her travel vlog. 

There's lots of helpful travel advice, especially on what to eat, and guidance on how to face issues like the fear of traveling alone.

4. Eva Zu Beck

Are you enamored by the idea of living in a converted van and exploring the world with complete freedom? Eva is your go-to vlogger if you don't fancy being tied to plane or train schedules. Eva Zu Beck is living the dream and sharing it all on her YouTube channel.

She's previously traveled extensively and has adventure travel videos from Mexico to Mongolia. As of writing this, she's now sharing her project to convert a 4x4 into a mini camper van and documenting her trek across the Pan-American Highway.

3. Hey Nadine

Hey Nadine is another nomadic traveler sharing the campervan life. But rather than traveling solo, she and her partner do it together. They recently had a baby, which adds a different dynamic to the story.

FAQs About Travel Vlogging

How do travel vloggers get paid.

Travel vloggers earn their money in 3 main ways. The first in monetizing their YouTube channel. This is possible for popular channels as people are likely to watch them frequently along with the adverts that usually come on. Vloggers get paid per minute of view time.

The second way is through affiliate marketing. Many online companies, such as Amazon, will pay you a small referral fee for clients that link to a product from your site or channel and then choose to buy. Many big travel sites, such as Expedia and Kayak, also have affiliate programs.

The third way that travel vloggers get paid is by partnering with companies to promote their products. A vlogger might be paid to write about a hotel or experience to promote it to their viewers.

How Much Do Travel Vloggers Make?

There can be a big difference between what travel vloggers make, depending on the popularity of their channel. According to a 2018 study, a travel vlog with a healthy but not enormous following on YouTube might expect to make $12,000 a year. 

While a large channel with lots of partnership agreements earned more than $200,000.

The average estimated income for a successful solo travel vlogger is $3,000-$4,000 monthly, but they can earn much more!

How Can I Start a Travel Vlog?

If you're an enthusiastic traveler and feel like you have stories to tell, then you have the basis for a travel vlog. 

But remember that most successful vlogs share a personal story on top of travel advice, so be prepared to share some of yourself along with your experiences. You need to be your channel's face, heart, and soul.

To make your channel successful, find a thematic niche to focus on and invest in the equipment you need to film good-quality footage. 

If you aren't an expert yourself, you need to learn or partner with a professional. After that, it's all about posting regularly and consistently and being patient as your following grows.

You can start earning off advertising when you meet YouTube's minimum engagement levels for  monetizing your channel . This also generally gives you the stats to approach relevant travel partners and suggest collaborations. Don't forget affiliate advertising for major travel sites!

‘It’s going to be worse’: Brazil braces for more pain amid record flooding

The death toll has climbed to 56 in Brazil’s southern Rio Grande do Sul state, with tens of thousands displaced.

Overpowering floods and mudslides caused by torrential rains are continuing to sweep southern Brazil, killing at least 56 people and forcing tens of thousands out of their homes, the government said.

As well as raising the death toll on Saturday, the country’s civil defence agency said rising water levels in the state of Rio Grande do Sul were straining dams and threatening the metropolis of Porto Alegre.

Photos: ‘out of control’ fires endanger wildlife in brazil’s wetlands, photos: rains, mudslides kill 37 in southern brazil’s ‘worst disaster’, deforestation in brazil’s amazon falls to lowest level since 2017, brazil’s congress weakens environmental, indigenous ministries.

Triggered by storms that began on Monday, the flooding is only expected to get worse, local authorities said, as rescuers scoured the ruins of washed-out homes, bridges, and roads for missing people.

“Forget everything you’ve seen, it’s going to be much worse in the metropolitan region,” Governor Eduardo Leite said on Friday as the state’s streets were submerged.

‘Nothing could be saved’

The flooding, Brazil’s worst in 80 years, has so far affected at least 265 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul, according to the southernmost state’s civil defence department.

It has injured at least 74 people, displaced more than 24,000, and left 350,000 with some form of property damage.

“Nothing could be saved,” said Claudio Almiro, who lost his home and possessions to the flooding.

“Many people have even lost their lives. I raise my hand to heaven and thank God that I’m alive.”

Residents in several cities and towns have been left completely cut off from the world, with no electricity or telephone access, while others have been forced to abandon their livestock.

“You don’t know if the water will continue to rise or what will happen to the animals, they may soon drown,” said Raul Metzel, from Capela de Santana, north of the state’s capital.

Five days in, as the rainfall shows no signs of letting up, four of the state’s dams are at risk of collapsing, creating the risk of a new “emergency situation”, according to civil defence officials.

Brazil’s federal government has sent aircraft, boats and more than 600 soldiers to help clear roads, distribute food, water and mattresses, and set up shelters, while local volunteers have also helped with search efforts.

‘Disastrous cocktail’

Climatologist Francisco Eliseu Aquino said the devastating storms were the result of a “disastrous cocktail” of global warming and the El Nino weather phenomenon.

South America’s largest country has recently experienced a string of extreme weather events, including a cyclone in September that killed at least 31 people.

Aquino said the region’s particular geography meant it was often confronted by the effects of tropical and polar air masses colliding – but these events have “intensified due to climate change”.

And when they coincide with El Nino, a periodic warming of the waters in the tropical Pacific, the atmosphere becomes more unstable, he said.

7 Stellar Oregon Pinot Noirs to Drink Right Now

Selections from one of the best pinot noir-growing regions in america., mike desimone and jeff jenssen, mike desimone and jeff jenssen's most recent stories, how this aussie winery is creating pinot noir that rivals burgundy reds, restaurant wine lists are getting better because of surging travel, the sonoma winemaker quietly crafting some of the region’s best pinot noir.

There is twice as much Pinot Noir as all other grapes combined planted in the state of Oregon. The Willamette Valley leads the charge with over 21,000 acres of vines, confirming it as one of the best areas in the United States to produce this finicky varietal. Burgundian wine families have been putting down roots here for decades, to the point that the valley has been dubbed the Burgundy of the Pacific Northwest. While the flavor profile of Pinot Noir grown in Oregon differs from Burgundy, there are many winemakers who try to emulate the style of the old country and a large percentage do so successfully. More than 80 percent of the Pinot Noir produced in Oregon is made from grapes grown in the Willamette Valley, which is home to over 700 wineries that benefit from a combination of sedimentary and volcanic soils.

On the east side of the state, the Cascade Mountains provide a barrier to the arid, dry climate of eastern Oregon while the Coast Range on the west shelters Willamette River vineyards from frigid Pacific air and pelting rain. The summers are moderate with cool nights that allow for concentration of sugars in the grapes and cooler, sunny autumns provide the perfect weather for harvesting grapes with vivid acidity and complex flavors.

This delightful bottle has a bright and luminous red cherry color and aromas of freshly picked red raspberry, Bing cherry, and brown baking spices.
