Always wanted to travel the world, but too busy, too broke, or too lazy to travel? There are plenty of people who share their travels, adventures, and experiences on youtube. I was skeptical of watching these YouTube videos until I realized just how awesome it is being able to experience these amazing destinations and adventures vicariously through them.
While nothing actually beats the nomadic adventure of exploring our crazy wonderful planet by our own foot, watching it through amazing photography and videography comes as a close second. Think of it as a more personalized Travel Channel.
1. FunForLouis
Let me introduce you to my favorite travel vloggers of all times...Louis Cole. Louis Cole is a British daily vlogger who travels around the world recording all of his crazy adventures. He has 2 million subscribers and one of the most influential people on youtube.
While he may not have the most subscribers he is one of the first YouTubers to be granted access to Vlog and document in North Korea. He has also traveled in his own two-person plane, with a friend around the world in 90 days to make a documentary on global diversity.
He currently is working as a part of the London2Africa Cycle, which he is trying to accomplish a mission in which he cycles, from London to Africa. To figure out how he does this and to witness more of his extravagant adventures, go to his channel on FunForLouis.

6. VagaBrothers
Besides FunForLouis, The Vaga Brothers, while new to my watch list, is definitely my second favorite travel channel. The Vaga Brothers are both California Natives, who view their successful youtube channel as a youtube travel show for our global generation. Together Alex and Marko have become award-winning travel videographers, photographers, and writers.
They have a mission to explore our amazing planet and connect with the younger generation to help inspire and encourage them to do the same.
