Hi! I’m Kate.

I teach women how to travel the world safely — and I’m here to help you have the best trip ever.

I quit my job to travel the world alone in 2010. 12 years later, I’ve traveled to 83 countries and all seven continents! Oh, and I never went back to a “real” job.

Whether you need guidance for your first solo trip or you’re a seasoned traveler looking for destination inspiration, you’ve come to the right place!

You’re the most genuine blogger I’ve ever read…I’ve consumed a lot of blogs and travel related content in the past decade but you’re the only one I really trust and can genuinely say puts your readers first.

No one tackles the uncomfortable and difficult subjects like Kate does. I feel like she makes me a more aware and ethical traveler. It’s a complete bonus that reading her is like manifesting that wickedly intelligent, hilarious well-traveled friend we would all love to have.

Kim serves up travel tips and offers reviews on her channel, and solo female travelers will appreciate her solo-travel tips uploaded every week, including mistakes to avoid, destination ideas for solo travel, first-timer tips, and more.

• Allison Anderson

Allison Anderson is a traveler and photographer who posts incredible videos on topics like general travel, solo travel, and photography on her channel @allisonanderson .

“I spent my childhood snapping away on point-and-shoot cameras and making goofy videos with friends, so when I stumbled across YouTube during a summer in college I couldn’t resist creating a channel,” she says.

Her travel videos are not only expertly shot but also capture unusual destinations like Antarctica, Turkey, and Namibia. “In January 2018, I made it my New Year’s Resolution to begin solo traveling,” Allison writes on her website. “I’ve since traveled alone all over the world, sharing my experiences through photographs and cinematic videos. I hope to encourage other women to embrace the adventure of exploring by themselves.”.

• She Travelled the World

If you’re looking for some advice for traveling on a budget, then @shetravelledtheworld7272 is for you. The channel’s About section reads: “A guide for the young, adventurous and broke.” Courtney from She Travelled the World offers all kinds of money-saving tips, as well as specific solo-travel advice, like how to make friends and how to plan your first trip. Courtney encourages viewers to “live life to the fullest” and save a few euros along the way.

Girl vs. Globe, aka Sabina, has been traveling since she was 17 and has been to more than 50 countries. Sabina says she “loves to travel, eat and meet new people.” Sabina shares travel tips, how to get cheap flights, how to get jobs that pay you to travel, tips for travel outfits, and so much more on the @girlvsglobe YouTube channel. She doesn’t exclusively post about solo travel, but her solo-travel videos are definitely worth a watch. She makes it a point to connect with women in her solo-travel videos, stating: “Traveling solo – especially as a woman or girl – may seem intimidating, but I promise you that if I can do it, so can you! It’s totally normal to be nervous before you take the leap and travel solo for the first time.”

Want some DUDE content? Although he didn’t make this list (because he is not a female), YouTuber Niklas Christl made this video that summarizes what he learned from his year of solo travel after high school, and you should not miss it:

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.

14 Best Solo Female Travel Blogs (Updated 2023)

If you’ve already got your backpack and passport ready, here are best solo female travel blogs to encourage, inspire, and guide you through your new adventures.

281 Views 2 Votes

Traveling alone can provide some of the most fulfilling and life-changing experiences anyone can ever have. Nothing beats the thrill of following the open road to wherever it takes you, all the while soaking in every new encounter and enjoying the deep satisfaction you get from ticking things off your travel bucket list.

Best Female Solo Travel Blogs

#1 the blonde abroad: solo female travel blog.

Kiersten is a Californian who left her corporate career to make her globetrotting dreams a reality. Since then, she has managed to tour over 50 countries in 6 continents and cross out a bunch of things from her bucket list. She has interestingly turned The Blonde Abroad —which features tons of resources for the solo female traveler—from a personal travel diary into one of her biggest sources of income.

Kiersten’s blog focuses on luxury travel tips but occasionally dabbles in backpacking and travel photography. Her content is more guide-like and less like a memoir, and is filled with golden tips in various subjects such as staying healthy while traveling, places to see in various destinations, and cuisines worth trying at every location she has been to. Her blog post 20 Trips to Take in Your 20s is like a map of incredible destinations that every first-time traveler should absolutely visit in their lifetime.

#2 Ashley Abroad: Solo Female Travel & Travel Tips

From backpacking through Europe, India, and Asia for a whole year to occasionally burying herself in books, Ashley’s interests are diverse. However, her love for traveling has equipped her with essential experience and expansive knowledge in the nuances of being a solo female traveler.

She has written extensively about what it is like to live in Africa, among other places, and is one of the few bloggers out there with the chops to teach others how to balance a full-time job with a life on the open road. Her mostly practical travel blog consists of articles on things like the best shoes to wear when traveling to tips on becoming an au pair in different countries as a way of making some extra cash. She had however dedicated most of her blog to making the life of the solo traveler much easier by providing insightful tips such as in her article; 12 Travel Accessories That Drastically Improve L ong-Term Travel .

#3 Pearls and Passports: Solo Female Travel Blog

Stephanie put the brakes on her successful career as a podiatrist, overcame her fears about traveling solo, and became an inspiration to many solo female travelers who have since borrowed a page or two from her. She admits that traveling alone has not been the easiest of experiences but she has never regretted her decision to tackle the open road.

Her blog is a recollection of her journey as she travels and occasionally backpacks through destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. She describes her experiences at a number of the places she’s been to with writing that is full of warmth and also detailed richly to give her readers a sense of being there with her. Her posts—far from being of the run-of-the-mill variety—invite the reader to look at these destinations from a new perspective and in a way that excellently portrays things that can only be experienced by someone who has visited those places. Her blog also serves as a useful tool for travelers looking to book accommodations beforehand.

#4 Helen in Wonderlust: Africa Travel Blog & African Adventure

Helen is an event manager who had her heart set on seeking out new experiences from the word go. Her approach to solo traveling for the female explorer is as practical as it gets as she doles out useful tips and various insights on solo female traveling.

Her blog contains a mixture of fun recollections as she describes her adventures through Africa and other parts of the world, and practical guides to things like planning your dream trip, getting travel insurance, places to visit, where to get the best culinary experiences, and a very detailed city guide for her hometown, Liverpool. Her passion for Africa is one that is mirrored in several of her posts which have been dedicated to hiking, backpacking, or traveling through the wild continent. Her post on becoming a full-time blogger— When One Door Closes…On Becoming a Full-Time Travel Blogger —is very useful for solo travelers looking to make a career out of it.

#5 Adventurous Kate: The Solo Female Travel Blog

She captures the essence of every location she visits with beautifully written posts about their lesser-known aspects, making the reader more intrigued about sharing her experiences. Her blog also contains a very helpful Responsible Travel section that the solo female traveler will find very useful in the course of her adventures.

#9 A Dangerous Business: Female Travel Blog

Amanda’s memoirs of the magical time she’s spent on the road belie her small town origins. An avid J.R.R. Tolkien fan (which is where she got the inspiration for her blog’s title), she is a passionate but very unique traveler who has managed to strike a balance between her love for the open road, a full-time job, and her beloved cat.

A Dangerous Experiences is a solo female travel blog centered on her slightly offbeat experiences as she travels to epic destinations. Her homey descriptions of the places she’s been to outline a major (possibly life-changing) experience she’s had at every destination, such as her nail-biting experience on a mountainside in Iceland.

Besides these lucidly written posts, she has also made several posts specifically for the solo female traveler, such as Top 9 Questions about Solo Travel Answered  which debunks several myths surrounding solo female travel in addition to providing a few nuggets of wisdom.

She is a full-time travel blogger with a world of experience on the places to visit, what to do there, and how to have the time of your life as a solo female traveler on the road.

#11 Bucket List Journey: Tools & Inspiration to Live Your List

Annette and her husband Peter own a trattoria with lots of employees, which gives them plenty of time to fulfill their dream of traveling the world in search of new experiences. Bucket List Journey is a story told in her eyes about her adventures through the waters of Palau, the streets of Thailand, rain forests in Costa Rica, and her zany experience with swimming pigs in the sunny Bahamas.

More than anything, this blog is about getting over the travel jitters any first-time solo female traveler might have about chasing their dreams. True to form, Bucket List Journey is simply a long list of things Annette wishes to do in her lifetime, a fair amount of which have already been checked off. She constantly updates the list and carefully details each and every one of her experiences, such as Take a Hot Air Balloon Ride over the Vineyards of Northern California , in a manner that makes all her readers develop itchy feet.

#12 Rocky Travel Guide: Women Travellers Over 50

Michela paints the Australian outback in colors you’ve never seen before in this useful guide for the solo traveler exploring Australia. Born in Italy, she discovered her natural affinity for learning foreign languages which, by the age of 35, had made her fluent in German, English, Italian, and Spanish.

Her love for foreign dialects eventually burgeoned into a desire to experience foreign cultures, a path that gradually led her to the rocky Australian outback. Since leaving her 9-to-5 job in 2004, she has spent the last 13 years of her life teaching women like herself the benefits of traveling solo in addition to creating interesting memoirs about her backpacking journey through Australia.

The 27 Best Travel Youtube Channels To Follow

Disclaimer: This page may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase using one of those links, I may earn a commission at zero cost for you. Please see my  disclaimer policy  here and my privacy policy here.

I have selected these 27 best travel YouTube channels from great Vloggers documenting their trips around the world. I am sure they will inspire you to travel and meet other cultures.

And if you cannot travel right now, they will surely take you to remote villages of unexplored countries and different worlds and cultures. So sit back and enjoy!

Watching traveling channels is the best way to relax after a long working day, instead of watching unreal movies or sad news, which certainly won’t help you unwind.

Many travel vloggers nowadays are amazingly talented and create spectacular videos out of their travel footage that will make you dream and travel from your couch.

Sometimes you can find travel-related fun videos on youtube that are just hilarious, and you wonder how come those people are not on the big screen. There are so many talented vloggers out there and I have watched hundreds of travel videos before creating this shortlist of the best youtube channels.

So without further ado, please find here the best travel vloggers on Youtube that will make you travel from the couch!

Please note that for navigation speed purposes I couldn’t embed the videos. But I linked them to the related image, for your convenience.

1. Sam Newton Media

Sam Newton is a young talented traveler who decided to drop out of college, buy a video camera, learn out to create amazing videos, and start to travel the world. I am sure you agree with me that he learned the craft quite well.

The way he captures the essence of every situation is mind-blowing. He creates tension and drama to make you stay glued to the videos. The amazing images make you feel as if you were right there, in the scene.

2. The Expert Vagabond – Matthew Kersten

Matthew is one of the first Bloggers who made it a real profession and made us all go for it too. He inspired me to write my first article and start my blog adventure. Of course, I am not even comparing myself to his spectacular work but I keep following him for inspiration.

His videos are breathtaking and very professional. He’s indeed one my favorites among all the travel video channels I have shared here.

This video that I have picked for you amongst the hundreds that he publishes has a special meaning to me because it has been recorded in Antarctica, a place that I am dreaming to visit, and the main character is a penguin, one of the reasons why I want to go to Antarctica, my favorite animal on earth.

This video is hilarious but although I was happy to see the penguin safe I couldn’t help but think how the human species is interfering with nature, in the good and in the bad of course.

Anyway, please watch it and let me know your thoughts.

As for me, I am working towards my goal to be in Antarctica in about 2 years. Will I make it? follow me on  Instagram  and you will know.

3. Jacob’s Laukaitis

I am so glad I have bumped into Jacob’s channel, especially for this particular video about Mexico.

I always suggest renting a car and driving around this beautiful country as I believe it is the best way to explore it. I know it can be a little scary after all the news you hear about Mexico, but I have written an extensive post about  safety in Mexico  and how it is to  drive around Mexico , which will be helpful I am sure.

Anyway, for now, just enjoy Jacob’s video on his 28 days itinerary on the road.

4. Alex the Vagabond

Alex is taking you through his favorite travel destinations for the year 2020. (let’s take it as an omen that we can get back to travel soon).

Check it out.

5. Alex and Marko from Vagabrothers

Alex and Marko are two brothers (of course) who will inspire you with the most complete videos about the places they visit.

I love their style because it’s very simple with no fancy effect but they take you right inside all the cultural aspects of the destination, the history, the food, the people, it’s like listening to an audioguide while watching the pictures.

In the video I chose for you  they are taking us to Uzbekistan but you can check out all the other amazing videos from their channel.

Now sit back and relax for the next 20 minutes with the  Vagabrothers .

6. Ryan Shirley

I just found Ryan’s videos while browsing through YouTube and I loved them. They are very detailed with useful tips and spectacular images.  I could relate to him for being a slow traveler as he spent 3 years traveling around Europe and exploring his beautiful corners. In this video that I have picked, he tells us his favorite places in Europe.

7. Antoine Janssens

I love Antone’s style.

I have chosen his video on Costa Rica because I love wildlife, and the video is full of many details of the local species, portrayed in such a beautiful way. The music he uses helps create a dramatic scene that keeps you there with him. When the video is over, you feel like you want to see more. Check out the Life in the Artic video on his channel, mind-blowing.

In this exciting video, Alex Melis will take you around the world with breathtaking scenes of dreamy landscapes and adventurous trips. From snowcapped mountains to isolated waterfalls you can’t help but travel with your imagination.

Meli started to produce his videos for fun and is now a professional filmmaker. Check out his channel for more videos.

9. Tony Mcallister

I loved the way Tony portrayed Puerto Vallarta in this video. Spectacular close-ups on the local people and the city highlights, stunning time laps on sunsets, and bird eye view over the bay. This video has it all.

If you are planning a visit to Puerto Vallarta, check it out, but also you can read more on what to do and where to stay in my  Puerto Vallarta detailed guides.

10. Mind Boggler channel

You might want to skip this one if you have a fear of heights. In case it doesn’t bother you at least to watch a video, this is a  spectacular video on the most terrifying bridges of the world.

If you are not too sensitive, the scenes are indeed spectacular and worth watching.

Also, I am glad I found out about this channel, as they have so many interesting videos about extraordinary things and places in the world. Click on the “Mind Boggler” tag to see what other videos you may like.

And you? Are you afraid of heights or would you walk on one of those tall bridges without any fear?

11. Benn TK

Benn makes the most creative videos ever.

Do not get misled by the beginning because in every video it seems like he speaks about motivational stuff, but it’s just a few seconds, and then it’s all about the destination’s amazing sceneries, the people and the spectacular landscapes, all put together with amazing editing skills.

He uses many effects that are very well blended together and flow with the narrative structure of the video. You will love it. I was undecided about what to pick from his amazing videos. I chose Vietnam because it’s a place where I would love to travel one day, but I suggest you check the main page of his channel and watch them all.

12. Carlos Costa

Join Carlos and his crazy friends on their adventure in New Zealand. They will keep on the hook for the entire time. I couldn’t even breathe during the last scene. Got to check it out. Amazing videography, and now I want to go to New Zealand, maybe on a more tranquil journey. 

13. Sailing Le Vagabond

A beautiful young couple sailing around the world on a romantic and adventurous trip.

What has started as an adventure it has now become their lifestyle. And now they even have a baby. They have amazing videos about their life on the water and the spectacular hidden gems they see. Watching their videos is like sailing away with them. Precious.

14. Mark Wiens

Mark is a travel Vlogger who loves chasing the unique culinary experience of the places he visits.

I chose this video about Pakistan because you can feel his enthusiasm for the delicious street food and the generosity of the people. His videos are genuine. He doesn’t focus on the transitions or other editing effects like many other videos that I shared.

Instead, he focuses more on the content and he takes you right inside the culture of the places he travels to.

It’s indeed one of my favorite travel Youtube channel to take virtual tours into the world.

15. Mark Harrison

Mark is taking us on his 12-day adventure in Turkey.

I love his style because he switches between some useful information, funny real-life scene,s and spectacular scenery.

His video feels really authentic with no frills or fancy effects, but still, I believe, of professional quality.

I really enjoy it and, guess what? I want to go to Turkey right now. 

16. Luke Martin

If you love street food this is your vlog. Luke is going to take us through every sort of market and street food place in Asia and Europe.

He takes you on a journey through the local specialties, their taste, and how they are made.

Interesting to learn about local cuisine and their culture.

17. The food ranger

And among the foodie travel bloggers, The Food Ranger, aka Trevor James,  is one of the most popular with almost 4 million subscribers.

In this video that I have picked, he’s showing us how they make noodles. I would have never imagined that it was such a handy job. After seeing this I am not sure I will eat noodles again. He will for sure.

Check this out

18. Eva Zu Beck

I have finally found a woman travel blogger that I really like.

She is real and passionate about the history and the cultural aspects of the amazing places that she visits as a solo traveler. She makes amazing videos without the need to show her boobs or butt. It resonates a lot with me because that’s the way I love to travel, immerse in the culture, alone among locals, and, when possible in lesser-known places.

And of course, alone. She does it in a Middle east country where for a woman traveling solo is not that easy.

I am sure you will love her videos as much as I do.

19. Kara and Nate

One of the most popular couple vloggers with more than 1 million subscribers.

Their videos are very personal but offer a good balance between their adventures and facts, not to mention the beautiful landscapes. Drones are the best inventions.

In the video that I chose they take us to a tiny little village in Norway where they stayed in a beautiful design hotel in the middle of nowhere.

20. Drew Binsky

Drew is a real storyteller, he explores the essence of the countries he visits and digs into the people’s stories.

It’s fun and interesting to watch.

His short captivating videos look more like documentary clips and I was not surprised when he announced that he will be making a 1-hour documentary that includes a few selected countries that he has visited (including Jamaica, one of my home countries).

I can’t wait to see it but in the meantime let’s watch this one that I have selected about a Jew village in Ethiopia.

21. Backpacker Steve

Steve’s videos are quite straightforward and less personal than the others.

I wished he added more music, but I liked the simplicity of his narrative and the fact that he offers useful facts about the places, besides his own personal itinerary.

I am sharing his video on Cartagena because it’s one of the cities of Colombia that I have loved so much for its spectacular architecture and colonial vibe.

I am sure you will love his other videos too.

22. Chris Rogers

Chris specializes in professional sports action videos, not something that all of us can relate to, but still, I wanted to share this one specifically because it includes its 2 years of traveling with spectacular effects and breathtaking transitions from one scene to the other.

You might lose some calories while watching it as it feels like you are skiing or surfing with them.

Worth watching just for that.

23. Sam Kold

This guy is an absolute genius in editing and filming.

Because you need to be good in both to be able to deliver something amazing like this video about The wall of China, but not only.

Don’t get misled by the title. He will take you around Beijing and you will explore the city with them, take cooking class, hope on a motorbike and mingle with the locals.

This video is absolutely phenomenal.

However, while I was browsing through his channel I found this other one here below which almost made me cry ( not easy). It’s the story of his life and how the loss of his brother has deeply affected him. It’s a work of art. So moving but beautiful.

“Don’t ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive. Because what the world needs most, is more people who come alive.” HOWARD THURMAN

24. Justin Poore

I’ve got to share this video because it’s about one of my favorite cities in Mexico and probably my future hometown.

Justin is there for only 1 day but he picked the best spots to share in his video. Check it out and fall in love with the colorful colonial Oaxaca.

25. Mr Brynnorth

Africa’s sceneries are unbeatable; you cannot go wrong.  In this video, you will see the magnificent landscapes and wildlife of Kenia portrayed beautifully by Mr. Brynnorth, whose real name I don’t know 🙂

26. Stefan Zimmerman

Welcome to the dreamlike scenery of Scotland.

If you are a fan of Outlander you will love this video, and if you are not a fan, you will love it anyway. The music is soothing and relaxing as well. There is no voice-over. So you can sit back and chill while watching the spectacular landscapes of the Island of Sky and the Highlands.

27. Bonus video on Deserted Sea by Aramco narrated by the unique voice of David Attenborough

28. BoundlessRoads

That would be me! I have just started this video-making adventure and I am loving it. so while I am still a beginner I enjoy sharing the beautiful places I have been seeing in my latest adventures. I hope you will enjoy them.

Before you go

I hope you enjoyed this list of videos. Before leaving I would like to share some of my most popular posts that you may find useful.

10 Female Solo Travel Bloggers You Should Be Following

Looking for some insight on solo female travels? We've compiled a list of solo travel blogs that you must check out for inspiration!

Written By: Lynda Galea | Updated: November 21, 2023

Written By: Lynda Galea

Updated: November 21, 2023

Want to teach English abroad and see the world on your own terms, but find yourself holding back for whatever reason? Perhaps you’re concerned about your safety, being lonely and outside of your comfort zone, or missing family and friends while abroad.

Take a read of these awesome female solo travel blogs to give you all the confidence and inspiration you need to bite the bullet and start living your wanderlust-filled dreams. After getting lost in their epic tales of adventure and new experiences, you won’t be able to keep your butt in your seat for much longer!

1. Kate McCulley of Adventurous Kate

At age 26, Kate quit her job to travel Southeast Asia for six months. Six months turned into five years, spanning more than 65 countries. If there's an adventure out there, she will go for it. Kate started her blog to show what it is like for women to travel solo. She believes it is best to teach by example, and her ultimate goal is to show women that independent and solo travel can be safe, easy, and a lot of fun.

2. Nadine Sykora Of hey nadine

If Nadine's face looks familiar, you may have seen her talking travel on her popular YouTube channel, Hey Nadine . She has traveled to 49 countries over the last six years, and her experiences have been recorded and documented across her blog and YouTube channel. Her videos are fun, light-hearted, and often include a side of humor to keep you smiling. In December of 2014, Nadine was invited to the White House as one of the Top 130 most influential travel bloggers and digital media outlets to attend the White House Travel Blogger Summit on Study Abroad and Global Citizenship.

3. Kiersten Rich Of   the blonde abroad

After graduating with honors and getting a job at a prestigious financial firm in LA, Kiersten realized she was living someone else's dream and needed to escape the corporate routine. She left her career to travel the world, volunteer in developing countries, and discover her own happily ever after. Since then, she has traveled to 50 countries and hopes to inspire others to live a life they love and settle for nothing less than extraordinary. 

4. Annette White Of bucket list journey

After getting a handle on a case of severe anxiety, Annette made a promise to herself to not let fear make decisions for her. As a result, she started saying yes instead of no to opportunities that presented themselves. That promise, along with her dedication to start living her bucket list, led her to making travel a second career. She has been on Safari through Africa, eaten insects in Thailand , zip-lined through the Costa Rican rain forest, swam with pigs in the Bahamas, bathed elephants at a recuse in Chiang Rai... the (bucket) list goes on! 

5. Amanda Williams Of   a dangerous business

As a kid, growing up on a Christmas Tree farm in a small, Ohio town didn't provide Amanda with much excitement. It wasn't until high school that she decided she wanted to travel, and a Lord of the Rings obsession is what let her to New Zealand after graduation. Since then, she has been to more than 45 countries and is always on the lookout for her next adventure. Amanda is a strong believer that when it comes to travel, there's no right or wrong way to do it. She's never given up on her "normal" life to travel long term and wants others to see that they don't have to quit their job or leave their loved ones behind in order to be a traveler. She hopes her blog and her stories will help convince you of that!

6. JUNO KIM Of runaway juno

Born and raised in Seoul, South Korea , Juno says leaving her job as a mechanical engineer to become a full-time travel blogger was one of the most difficult decisions that she ever made. As a Korean who grew up in a conservative household, her career departure created enough shock to change everything in her life, including her relationship with her own family. Fast forward to now, and after six years of full-time travel, Juno says she has grown. She has a deeper understanding of people now that she would have never learned if she stayed at home working as an engineer. Her travels also helped her grow to respect her own culture and realize the importance of family.

7. Dani Heinrich Of   globetrotter girls

In the middle of a long, grey British winter, Dani decided to break free and fly to Las Vegas on the first leg of what she thought would be a year-long trip around the world. Seven years later, and this one-year trip turned into a global exploration without an end date. Having lived in Austria, Spain, and England, Dani combines months of rapid travel with longer stays, living as a local wherever she can. She shares stories related to what it's like to be a gay or lesbian traveler, and also publishes guest posts by fellow LGBTQ travelers who share their travel stories and experiences as well. Her mission is to inspire curiosity about the world and provide the tips and tools to help you see as much of the world as you can for yourself.

8. Alexandra Baackes Of Alex in Wanderland

Alex in Wanderland was created in 2009 as a means for Alex to document her two month trip to Southeast Asia. The night before she left, she cried; terrified over the thought of eating dinner alone, getting lost in the airport, and having her camera stolen. That summer, she fell head-over-flip-flops in love with the adrenaline of travel and realized that there are truly people out there living the nomadic lifestyle that she thought only existed in her head. In 2011, Alex left New York to travel full time, and she has not had a permanent address since. There's no date, no itinerary, no real backup plan. Just adventure, adrenaline, and a lifetime of globe-trotting daydreams to fulfill.

9. Sherry Ott Of   otts world

Otts World is Sherry's journey from traditional cubicle to travel writer and digital nomad. She quit her corporate IT job in 2006, with the original intention of simply taking a year-long career break. In this time, Sherry traveled to 23 countries, finding a new and exciting world outside her office walls. Her eyes were opened to possibilities and the beauty of simplicity, so she sold all her possessions and relocated to Vietnam where she supported herself through teaching ESL, selling photography, and started working at building a blogging presence. Sherry is currently in her mid 40's and has spent over a decade living out of a suitcase with no permanent address since 2006. 

10. Liz Carlson Of young adventuress

Liz started her travel blog back in 2010 when she was getting ready to move to Spain to teach English and procrastinate on life. She lived on and off in Spain for over three years (Salamanca, Córdoba, and La Rioja) before learning that being a professional travel blogger was actually a thing. This prompted her move back into her parent's attic outside of Washington D.C. to work for a year, build out her blog properly, find work online, and save money. After having saved up enough, Liz walked into her boss' office, quit her job, moved to New Zealand and began full-time blogging. It is here that she developed a deep and abiding love for men in stubbies and gumboots. She hasn't been deported yet and hasn't looked back since!
