7 Travel YouTubers To Watch To Cure Your Wanderlust
Every Pixel

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. The channel serves as inspiration destinations, travel information, and pure second-hand enjoyment of their travels that really make you feel that you are with them.

7. Migrationology

Last, but definitely not least, the food mogul himself Mark Wiens. Mark Wiens is a full-time travel eater with 1.9 MILLION subscribers. He believes that the main inspiration and the main goal of traveling should be experiencing the food.

He has tried some of the nicest cuisines while abroad, as well as some of the more bizarre and crazier cuisines that not many would dare to try in their entire lifetimes. To second hand try the crazy foods follow his channel on youtube at Mark Wiens. He also has a vlogging channel, if that better suits your style and it is at Mark Wiens Vlogs.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
