My 10 Favorite Travel YouTubers of 2023

I’ve been completely obsessed with YouTube travel channels for several years now. In fact, when I’m not working or writing for my blog, I’m spending my free time seeking out new travel YouTubers to follow.

Since I dedicate so much time to this hobby, I feel highly qualified to share with you some of the best travel Youtubers on the platform today.

Admittedly, I’m not attempting to define what “best” means when it comes to travel Youtubers, I’m simply sharing with you my personal favorites.

Now that we’re all not traveling and spending a significant amount of our time at home, I’ve figured there was no better time than the present to put this post together for you.

I hope you enjoy.

My criteria for selecting the best travel Youtubers

Before we get into my top 10 Best Travel Youtubers of 2023, I want to share with you the critieria I used for selecting my personal top 10.

Like everyone else, there are certain qualities I enjoy when watching travel Youtubers and certain qualities that annoy me. And obviously, I do my best to avoid the ones that annoy me.

Here are the primary factors and questions I asked myself when putting this list together:

In addition to the above criteria, I also have a low tolerance for certain qualities often found on Youtube channels. I do my best to avoid channels that include the following:

What’s described above are the factors I used to select these 10 Best Travel Youtubers in 2020. You may have different criteria, but at least you know where I’m coming from.

I’m hoping the use of the criteria I identified has resulted in a list that showcases high quality channels, with interesting people, doing interesting things in a positive way.

Without further ado, and in no particular order, here are my favorites.

10 Best Travel YouTubers of 202 3

1. Wolters World

Wolters World is a fairly recent discovery for me, but has quickly become one of my favorites.

The channel is run by Mark and Jocelyn, a husband and wife couple from the United States traveling the world part-time.

Wolters World features down to earth vidoes giving you the top Do’s and Don’ts for each country. They also have a series about Love’s and Hate’s that I particularly enjoy.

Each of their videos is filled with honest and practical travel tips that will help those visiting a country for the first time.

What I love most about Wolters World is that there’s no fluff. They give you straight talk and get right to the point, creating true no BS travel vlogs.

If you want unique and down to earth travel tips, head over to Wolter’s World.

Best travel YouTubers #1: Wolter’s World

2. Kara and Nate

Kara and Nate have become the most popular and likeable travel influencers on YouTube. They consistently post unique, high quality content which has earned them well over a million subscribers.

Kara and Nate became full time travel vloggers when they left their home in Nashville back in 2016. Their original goal was to take a year off to travel the world before resuming their lives back home.

This eventually led them to the goal of traveling to 100 countries by the year 2020, which they recently accomplished. As I’m sure you’ve guessed, they are still traveling.

What I love most about Kara and Nate are two things. First, they have mastered the art of storytelling.

Through Kara’s quality editing skills, the viewer feels like they are tagging along as Kara and Nate enjoy the street food of Jerusalem or see whales for the first time in Antarctica.

A Kara and Nate video makes you feel like you’re there with them experiencing these same things for the first time.

Second, Kara and Nate are the least annoying travel vlogger couple on YouTube. If there was an award for this, they’d win it every time.

No one wants to watch a couple bicker and argue on camera, or one be condescending to the other. Kara and Nate never do this and as a viewer, I am infinitely grateful.

So what are you waiting for, go check out their massive catalog of travel videos. This is also the perfect channel to start with from the beginning.

3. Be My Travel Muse

The Be My Travel Muse YouTube channel is run by Kristin Addis. She also owns the extremely popular travel blog of the same name.

While her YouTube channel is relatively new, Be My Travel Muse has quickly become one of my favorite travel channels on YouTube.

I would describe Be My Travel Muse as an outdoorsy adventure travel channel. The viewer gets to tag along on solo trips with Kristin hiking in Patagonia and swimming with Humpback whales in French Polynesia.

Sprinkled in with her travel videos you’ll also find content on meditation, chakras, and natural travel products.

What I love most about the Be My Travel Muse channel is that it’s consistently down to earth and authentic. You’ll get both the good and the bad.

If something sucks, she’ll tell you about it. If she’s frustrated, she’ll tell you about it.

Her trips are pretty awesome though, so her videos are fun to watch.

Even better, Kristin also seems to enjoy one of my own favorite pastimes, avoiding crowds. She shares great tips and advice for how to get the perfect photos without other people in them.

If you like adventure travel in unique destinations, this channel is for you.

Best travel YouTubers #3: Be My Travel Muse

4. Hey Nadine

Nadine Sykora of Hey Nadine is one of the original travel YouTubers and has been creating content on the platform for over a decade.

Nadine’s videos cover everything from solo travel, adventure travel, travel tips, and packing guides. She produces high quality videos with useful, practical information, all with a dash of humor.

What I love most about Hey Nadine is that she provides insight into affordable travel options that are within most people’s budget and realm of possibility.

She’s not strictly a budget traveler per se, but she makes practical travel choices and isn’t a show off.

Yes, I’m sure she has the occasional splurge, we all do. But this isn’t one of those channels featuring luxury stays at the Shangri La and a Louis Vuitton bag placed casually in all the shots. (You know the ones.)

Hey Nadine is realistic, lighthearted and fun, and utterly refreshing.

5. Kristen and Siya

Kristen and Siya are a travel couple from Canada. They used to travel the world full time and even spent some time living in a van.

More recently, they have returned to Canada, had a baby, and bought a house with some friends. Not to worry though, they will continue to travel part time and share their adventures on YouTube.

I first began watching Kristen’s videos on her Hopscotch the Globe channel, which has since turned into what is currently named Kristen and Siya.

The content is the same, with the obvious addition of her husband Siya, who is fortunately just as likeable.

What I love most about Kristen and Siya are two things. First, their personalities. You can tell they are super fun to be around and that they are genuinely nice people.

Second, much of their content incorporates planet conscious living and travel choices.

They are constantly thinking of how their actions will impact the planet. They provide tons of tips and ideas on how to minimize one’s footprint both at home and when traveling abroad.

They also do it in a way that isn’t condescening or intended to shame you. They simply provide good information if you care to use it.

Best travel YouTubers #5: Kristen and Siya

6. Girl vs. Globe

Girl vs. Globe is a travel channel run by Sabina, a part time globetrotter born in the Czech Republic and currently residing in Scotland. She also runs one of the top travel blogs which goes by the same name.

Sabina started blogging and creating YouTube travel videos back in 2014. Since that time she has created fun and engaging travel content from around the world.

Her content primariy focuses on Europe, but she has content from other regions of the world as well, including one of my favorite video’s above from her trip to New York City.

Girl vs. Globe has also recently launched a new interview series called Womankind where Sabina interviews inspiring women from around the world about topics such as kindness, self love, and what it means to be a woman in the world today.

What I love most about Girl vs. Globe is that Sabina is so happy and full of energy in her videos. Her enthusiasm for each new destination immediately makes you wish you were there to experience the new destination with her.

Best travel YouTubers #6: Girl vs. Globe

7. Sorelle Amore

Sorelle Amore isn’t technically a travel youtuber. She’s more of a photographer and digital nomad who just so happens to travel a lot and creates incredible YouTube travel videos in the process.

Sorelle primarily focuses on photograhy and has an incredibly user friendly set of videos that teach viewers how to take beautiful photographs of themselves with tips on posing, scene selection, equipment, and even editing.

She’s uniquely talented in capturing stunning photographs of herself as she travels to beautiful places around the world.

What I love most about Sorelle Amore (besides looking at her stunning photographs), is that she keeps it real.

She shares her struggles and mistakes candidly as she works through challenges and disappointments in her personal life and career. It’s admirable and much appreciated that she’s willing to share the lows as well as the highs.

Best Travel YouTubers #7: Sorelle Amore

8. Luke Life Charms

Luke Life Charms is a Youtube travel channel run by a European professional basketball player turned world traveler.

His content focuses primarily on Southeast Asia and Europe. Luke Life Charm’s travel videos are filmed with a casual, laid back style as he explores each new city on foot, motorbike, tuk tuk, train, you name it.

I’ve been enjoying his Southeast Asia content most lately since this is a region of the world I’ve not yet visited. I love tagging along as he hikes to waterfalls, motorbikes around big cities, and samples adventurous street food in local markets.

What I love most about Luke Life Charms is his super positive happy go lucky attitude. No matter what happens on his adventures, he’s always got a positive outlook. You can see people are drawn to him by all the people that stop to speak with him as he walks by.

In short, Luke Life Charms will inspire you to visit destinations you’ve never considered before, all while putting a big smile on your face.

Best Travel YouTubers #8: Luke Life Charms

9. Vagabrothers

The Vagabrothers, as the name suggests, is made up of two brothers Alex and Marko. They travel the world part time making high quality and highly entertaining travel content.

Like many others on this list, the Vagabrothers have mastered the art of editing and storytelling, as a result their travel videos and engaging and some of the best I’ve seen on the platform.

What I love most about the Vagabrothers is their selection of travel destinations. They choose interesting, less popular destinations to visit, giving the viewer a unique perspective on a location they might not have considered visiting otherwise.

I also love that Alex and Marko are clearly quite different individuals, with different interests and thus different perspectives on the destinations they visit. It’s interesting to hear their thoughts on a destination from their differing perspectives.

Best Travel YouTubers #9: Vagabrothers

10. Rick Steves Europe

Yeah, I said it. I’m calling Rick Steves a travel YouTuber. In fact, I think of him as one of the original travel YouTubers, or at least travel vloggers. He’s also damn good at it.

And to be fair, he also now has a YouTube channel.

Rick Steves has been creating travel content in the form of guide books and videos since the 1970s. He’s one of the most respected authorities on European travel and creates in depth and insightful videos of the most popular cities and towns across Europe.

At the same time, he also encourages tourists to explore outside the major tourist zones and to experience Europe like a local.

By highlighting cultural activities and artistic events travelers will be left with inspiring and unique stories to share with friends back home.

What I love most about Rick Steves is that he not only tells you where to go, but he tells you why you should go there.

By incorporating relevant information about each destination, he inspires you to want to see these places for yourself. At the same time, he instills a deeper appreciation for the places you’ll visit.

Best Travel YouTubers #10: Rick Steves Europe

I hope you’ve enjoyed this post about the my favorite picks for the best travel youtubers in 2020 and that their videos will help inspire you to select a truly unique destination for your next trip. If you enjoyed reading this post please consider sharing. It really helps me a lot. Thanks for reading.

Top 5 Travel YouTube Channels in 2023

Our favorite travel YouTubers that inspired us to travel full time

The Top 5 Travel YouTube Channels that inspired us to change things up and start travelling full time in our renovated RV!

#1 | Kara and Nate

Kara and Nate have traveled to over 100 countries and have participated in many cool events.

This couple deserves a major shoutout for taking a chance back in 2016 that would not only change their lives, but also ours! (they were a big inspiration for us to start traveling)

The first 4 years they had a goal to travel to 100 countries and then did van life for over a year. As travel opened back up they started traveling internationally again.

I came across them when I kept seeing their repositioning cruise videos in the recommended section.

Curiosity got me because I was interested in cruises and didn’t know what a “repositioning” one was so I clicked and started watching an energetic couple give a tour of the ship.

While watching their cruise videos, Youtube started recommending their Trans Siberian Railroad videos which were even more interesting so again I clicked and since then have been hooked.

I’ve seen every video (they have over 800) and always look forward to seeing what adventure they’re doing next!

You can watch all of their videos in chronological order starting from beginning here:

They've stayed in some extraordinary hotels and Airbnbs all around the world:

They participated in some really cool physical challenges that we've never even heard of before:

#2 | The Endless Adventure

We came across Eric and Allison when they did a collaboration video with Kara and Nate while traveling Estonia in 2017.

We were always looking for similar travel channels so after watching some of their videos we became fans right away and binge watched for days.

They make really entertaining videos including all different kinds of travels, stays and adventures around the world.

They started their adventure late 2015 and ever since have created over 700 videos.

We actually got to meet The Endless Adventure in person during the first ever Gutted Event in 2021.

Eric and Allison are super genuine people and what you see on YouTube is what you get in real life.

All videos from The Endless Adventure YouTube channel starting from their first video:

In 2020 they started an RV renovation with a 1970s Coachmen Leprechaun which resulted in a beautiful restored tiny home. They have one of our favorite RV interiors that we've seen!

After completing the RV remodel, which took over 2 years, they started their adventure to travel the 50 states of USA, maybe not Hawaii though.

#3 | Sailing Zatara

This Dallas, Texas family of 6 decided to sell their house, belongings and start a new adventure sailing around the world in 2016.

They have sailed to many beautiful islands and the dad is very knowledgeable and shares his experiences dealing with electrical and mechanical issues. 

They provide a real view of what boat life is and show the troubles that arise at sea.

It’s also interesting to see the kids grow up on the boat over the years and how the family dynamic changed as they got older.

Watching them sail around the world was really inspirational to us because if they can do it with 4 kids on water, we can do it with 2 cats on land.

They had a crossover episode with Gone with the Wynns when they were in Fiji.

This playlist starts at a time when they replaced their monohull with a catamaran and began sailing in the Mediterranean Sea.

This is a good point in time for their channel because they got the hand of recording and editing and the videos were very entertaining and high quality

These are some of the most recent videos and are notable because they are some of the first people to sail the Saudi Arabian coast now that its waters are partially open to international travelers.

#4 | Eamon & Bec

This Canadian couple began their journey in 2017 with vlogging their international travels.

Not too long after they started van life by converting a Sprinter van and traveled through Canada, USA and Mexico.

In 2020 they purchased a cabin and shifted focus to home renovation and back to van life travel a couple years later. 

After watching most of Kara and Nate I was looking for similar channels and discovered Eamon and Bec during their 2nd van build series.

Their van design inspired some elements in our own RV renovation!

#5 | Gone with the Wynns

Gone with the Wynns is the oldest running channel on this list starting back in 2011.

Jason and Nikki traveled across the country for many years in their RV.

Their composting toilet videos were the most notable to us because they did a good job of showing how it works and the advantages.

In 2016 they sold their RV and started a new way of travel on a sailboat ever since.

They visit pretty islands all around the world and show behind the scenes of boat life.

They had a crossover episode with Sailing Zatara when they were in Vava’u Tonga in the Pacific Ocean.

We started rug tufting!

The Top 5 Travel YouTubers to Follow in 2023

Have you ever had a video make you feel you were in it? Sometimes dreaming away by the adventures other people engage in is better than being in it yourself. I wouldn’t plunge into the freezing Antarctic myself but watching it, triggers my wanderlust! Below are the top 5 travel YouTubers that will inspire you to get moving in 2023!

1. Kara and Nate

Kara and Nata are a husband and wife from Nashville who started their YouTube channel when they decided to take a year off. They traveled to over 100 countries and lived in a van for 2 years. They often review their first and business class experiences on their channel from Emirates to Turkish Airlines. They also engage in a lot of adventurous activities on their travels. They attempted to swim from Alcatraz to San Francisco, ran marathons and tried to survive on an island for 3 days without any amenities. Definitely worth the watch!

2. The Bucket List Family

The bucket List Family is a bit less into extreme activities because they have 3 children aboard! This definitely doesn’t make it boring though! The Gee family, consisting of Garrett, Jessica, Dorothy, Manilla and Calihan, isn’t just your average family. 7 years ago, they decided to leave all behind and begin a journey around the world. In the first 3 years they visited over 60 countries and they are counting! Although they found their home base in Hawaii, they still wander the world and upload an exciting video each week!

3. Discover With Ruhi Cenet

Ruhi Ceenet is a content creator from Turkey. He doesn’t just share videos on his YouTube channel but also fantastic short documentaries. He visits unique places unknown to many and tries to shine a different light on them as not many know them. These special places often go hand in hand with unique experiences. He went to the coldest city on earth, Yakutsk, visited the world’s most dangerous road in Pakistan and stayed in the most air polluted city in the world, Lahore. He only started 1 year ago, but with what he’s already created, I believe there is much more to come. So stay tuned!

4. Sailing La Vagabonde

Riley and Elayna are an Australian couple who started their YouTube channel in 2014 and decided to fulfill their dreams and sail the ocean without any experience. In the first 4 years they sailed over 65.000 miles (105.000 kilometers), including multiple ocean crossings. Every Monday, they upload a new video with vlogs of their amazing trips and often some helpful information on sailing. If you are into sailing the salty ocean and love beautiful sunsets on the horizon, this channel is for you!

5. Drew Binsky

This man has been to every country in the world(!) and is still going strong! He doesn’t just share vlogs but posts short documentaries where he shares extraordinary stories about the people he encounters, cultures he experiences and stories he hears. Drew has had crazy adventures where he went to North Korea, took an extreme Russian bath and threw a party in the least populated country. He also tried seeing what 1 dollar can get you in different countries and even had Mcdonald’s in 77 countries. So something for everyone!

Let’s see what adventure inspires you next!

17 Best YouTube Travel Channels to Follow

Written By: The Planet D

Digital Nomads

Updated On: December 14, 2022

You may have seen our list of the best youtube travel vloggers written by the outstanding Christine of GrrlTraveler . She introduced us to some of the best travel vloggers who have endured through the years. 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).

Table of Contents

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.

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!

Maiku runs his own production company and has won several video awards. We always love checking out his videos.

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

While still in school, he’s been producing travel vlogs about travels that he’s been on with his family.

i culdnt find any better travel insights than this , thanks a bunch

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

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!

If you’re familiar with a couple different airlines, you could start a channel evaluating travel options when it comes to different airlines and what they offer. You could make videos discussing first class options, luggage fees, or rating meals served in flight.

One interesting idea would be making videos on how to optimize travel rewards and benefits as a frequent flyer with different airlines that offer perks for certain customers.

4. Living as a digital nomad

Are you a digital nomad? If so, this could be the travel niche for you!

Becoming a digital nomad has turned into a huge topic over the years since COVID. If you’re a digital nomader or want to become one, turn your interest into a YouTube channel.

5. Luggage review

A luggage review YouTube channel could be killer at affiliate income if you want to make a little money on the side. If you work out a deal with some manufacturers to review their bags, you could get some for free and then talk about what you do and don’t like and send viewers to affiliate links to purchase online.

Review-based videos are great, especially if you’re trying to grow as a beginner on YouTube. Why? Because they’re easy to make! It’s completely based off your experience and opinion and doesn’t require a lot of research and due-diligence.

Review channels can be solely focused on your own observations and preferences that can build a great relationship with your audience if you articulate them well.

6. Alaskan Travel

Alaska! It’s part of the United States but we all forget it exists. I bet you could make a great YouTube channel if you’re interested in Alaska or if you live there because I’m sure there’s plenty of people (myself included) who really want to check it out one day.

Your audience potential might not be as big as if you focused on North American travel or even Canadian travel, but you could carve out a powerful niche talking about Alaska, best places to visit, and touristy activities for newcomers to the area.

7. Middle Eastern Travel Destinations

Dubai? Saudi Arabia? Israel? Plenty of people visit the Middle East so this is a great opportunity where you could start a channel to talk about places to visit, safety tips, and the do’s and dont’s of traveling in the Middle East as a foreigner.

8. Living in a van

An interesting subreddit you’ll want to check out is r/VanDwellers. Look how much it’s grown! There’s definitely a growing interest in van life and working remotely from your van.

9. Cruise Travel Review

Ahoy cruise enthusiasts! If you want to start a YouTube channel about cruise travel, you could make a lot of money! You could make videos to review various cruise lines and compare the amenities like dining, suites, spas, fitness, and service on board.

Answer people’s questions about cruise if they’ve never been on one before, like what to do and what to avoid while on board, best times of year to travel, and some of the overrated and underrated cruise destinations.

10. Canadian Travel

So you like Canadian travel, eh? Good news, it could make a great YouTube channel. From the cities like Toronto and Vancouver, to the mountains and parks like Banff, and seasonal resorts, you could make a killing by focusing on Canadian travel.

Who do you want to target? You could make content for people who love the outdoors like hikers, skiiers, or people coming to Canada for a road trip.

You could also make content for young professionals and digital nomads who want to WFH in Canada. They might want to hear more about the urban setting and night life throughout the major cities in Canada.

11. Travel gadgets

If you’re into tech and travel gear, you could make a YouTube channel talking all about gadgets for travelers! This could be normal travel stuff like backpacks, luggage, noise-cancelling headphones, or you could talk about some quirky gadgets.

Why not make videos about all the weird travel gear people can buy? Like portable bidets.

Your content could target specific travelers if you want to niche down. Like travel gear for parents, or students, or backpackers who need a lot of gadgets. The world is your oyster.

It doesn’t even have to be travel-related gadgets if you’d rather create a YouTube channel talking about tech gear, I have another list of ideas for tech niche channels here. 

12. Airbnb vlogging & reviews

Are you an Airbnb superhost? Or just an avid traveler? Either way, you could make a rapidly growing YouTube channel focused on Airbnb travel.

If you love going to obscure or extravagant Airbnbs, why not show the world? You could make vlogs, video tours, and reviews of some wild and crazy Airbnbs.

You could show some of the most interesting and lavish places to stay. OR, you could target a specific persona who is looking for Airbnbs. Students traveling for spring break? A group of girls planning a bachelorette getaway? A digital nomad wanting to work abroad?

There’s a lot you could do here. You’ll want to think about how much your content should focus on 1. The Airbnb, 2. The type of person who would stay there, and 3. You and your opinions as a host or guest of Airbnb.

13. Best study abroad programs

If you’ve studied abroad before, you know it can be a hassle getting paperwork, visas, housing, and travel plans taken care of before leaving. It can also be expensive. A great YouTube channel could focus on study abroad programs, destinations, and opportunities for students who want to get out in the world and go abroad.

Your videos could focus on things like:

• Application process for different programs
• Uncommon ways to study abroad
• Scholarships to study abroad
• Reviews of different programs
• Tips & tricks for the study abroad process

There are a bunch of study abroad programs for all different focuses. The state department has several programs. I did a trip through the US State Department called NSLIY  when I graduated high school.

It was great, but I wish I had watched YouTube videos from other people who had done it before me when I was applying to get a sense of what it would be like.

14. Mexico Travel Tips

If you love Mexico, why not make a YouTube channel all about Mexico travel tips? You could make videos about the best beaches to visit, the most amazing food to try, and the most vibrant cities to explore.

Share your experiences about the culture, language, and customs of Mexico. You could also talk about safety tips, how to bargain in markets, and how to avoid common tourist scams.

Waxy O’Connor’s

€ | Pub | Sports Bar | Live Music | Bar Food

There’s more to Waxy O’Connor’s than just drinks. It’s also home to some of the best pub origin stories around. Starting with the name, Waxy O’Connor’s is inspired by the iconic Dublin candle maker Finbar O’Connor. His impressive candle-making skills earned him the nickname “Waxy,” and he became legendary for his ability to house large amounts of alcohol at any given time. Today, his spirit is alive and well in the pub’s atmosphere. So, when you visit, raise a glass for Waxy and soak in the history that makes this place special. And don’t forget to ask about the Waxy O’Connor’s tree—that’s a whole other historic story.

Address: 14-16 Rupert St

The Horniman at Hays

€€ | Pub | Hearty Meals | Riverside Terrace

Housed in a former tea warehouse, The Horniman at Hays is the perfect spot to relax for an afternoon. With an impressive lineup of beers on tap and expertly crafted cocktails, there’s something here for everyone. And don’t forget the food. The Horniman offers classic pub favorites like crispy fish and chips or hearty meat pies. If you’re tired of walking and want to enjoy some views of London, gran a seat on their riverside terrace.

Address: Unit 26, Hay’s Galleria

Spaniards Inn

€€ | Historic | 16th Century | Great English Poets | Hampstead

Located in the picturesque neighborhood of Hampstead, this historic pub exudes charm and character. Established in 1585, it has retained much of its 16th-century allure, featuring antique furnishings and a cozy fireplace. While it’s a bit of a walk from the nearest train station, the peaceful journey through tranquil lanes and greenery is well worth it.

This pub was a favorite haunt of some of Britain’s most renowned writers, including poets like Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Mary Shelley, the author of “Frankenstein.” Interestingly, it’s also said that the esteemed poet John Keats penned his famous poem “Ode to a Nightingale” in the pub’s beer garden, adding to its literary legacy.

Address: Spaniards Rd

Founders Arms

€€ | Riverside | Stunning Views | Tate Modern | Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre

Enjoy the distinctive ambiance of Bankside while taking in stunning views of the River Thames. This pub capitalizes on its prime location, featuring expansive windows and a lovely riverside terrace. Situated in the heart of Southwark’s cultural hub, it’s just a short walk from iconic spots like the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, making it the perfect starting point for exploring Bankside.

Along this scenic stretch of the river, you’ll also find attractions like Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hinde and the Clink Museum. However, I highly recommend snagging a riverside table to fully appreciate the breathtaking views of St. Paul’s Cathedral as night falls. Few pubs can rival the vibrant mix of a bustling tourist destination and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Address: 52 Hopton St

€€ | Super-sized | Specialist | Craft Beers | Tower Hill Tourism | Historic Church

If you’ve ever visited a highly-rated pub but felt that all beers taste similar, then this pub is my top pick for a memorable drinking experience. It’s hard to miss, as it’s one of the largest pubs in London, stretching across an entire block at one end of the street!

While some of their specialty craft beers can be on the expensive side, you can opt for quarter pints to sample a diverse range without breaking the bank. Conveniently located near attractions in Tower Hill, such as the Tower of London, it’s also close to All Hallows-by-the-Tower, one of the city’s oldest churches, as well as the ruins of St. Dunstan in the East, a stunning gothic church.

Address: 21 Great Tower St

The Kings Arms

€ € | Pub | Busy | Classic English Menu

Built in 1742, and was once known as the Three Jolly Butchers, The Kings Arms hasn’t forgotten its roots. The menu features traditional English meals including the hearty steak and ale pie. Locals certainly appreciate the history because the place is packed during golden hour, from Thursday to Saturday. Whether you’re looking for a drink or a classic English meal, The Kings Arms is a charming stop to add to your itinerary.

Address: 2 Shepherd Market

The Lamb & Flag

€€ | Very Small | Covent Garden | West End | Outdoor Drinking | Laid Back

Whether or not this pub claims the title of London’s smallest, its intriguing history is undeniable. There’s hardly enough space to navigate between patrons and place your order, yet visitors are drawn here, perhaps because of the cozy atmosphere. Surprisingly, more people can often be found outside enjoying their drinks than inside, simply due to the lack of space!

In the 1800s, this establishment gained notoriety for hosting illegal bare-knuckle boxing matches, with vintage fight posters showcasing its colorful past. Additionally, the poet John Dryden was reportedly attacked in the alleyway by thugs hired by the Earl of Rochester. In honor of Dryden, the pub owners have named one of the upstairs rooms after him.

Address : 33 Rose St

The Holy Tavern

€ | Traditional | Historic | Candlelit Tuesdays

If you’re interested in adding some history to your pub experience, The Holy Tavern is your place. The Holy Tavern sits within the historic grounds of one of London’s oldest hostelries, The Clerkenwell Priory, which once served as the headquarters for the Knights Hospitallers in England. The building dates back to 1720 and has maintained a lot of its 18th century aesthetic. The bar even hosts “Candlelit Tuesdays,” where they turn off the lights and only use candles. But don’t worry, the pub’s food and drink offerings are not stuck in the past. With an extensive cocktail, wine and beer menu and bar food including wild boar hotdogs, this is definitely a great spot to spend the evening.

Address: 55 Britton St

€ | London’s Biggest Pubs | Very Popular | Rock Music Fans | Underworld Club | Live Music | Camden

The Worlds End is an iconic pub located in Camden Town, well-known across the UK for attracting rock music enthusiasts. One of the main draws for visitors is its prime location, just across the street from the train station. More significantly, it has long been in the running for the title of London’s largest pub, and its reputation for vibrant crowds and lively ambiance is well-deserved, with patrons often spilling out into the streets.

This North London establishment also features a renowned basement venue called The Underworld. I’d recommend heading to The Worlds End for a casual drink and socializing, while The Underworld is the place for live rock performances—just be prepared for the noise level, as conversations can get drowned out in both spots!

Address : 174 Camden High St

Blind Beggar

€ | London’s East End | Quiet | Local Favourite | The Kray Twins | Footballer Bobby Moore

This historic pub, located in a working-class area of London’s East End, is famously known as a favorite of 1960s gangsters Reggie and Ronnie Kray, who not only drank here but also committed a murder of a rival gangster. Today, it stands as a significant landmark in East End history, although the current owners have no ties to that criminal past.

Many curious visitors come to trace the footsteps of the Krays, but the atmosphere is now much quieter and more traditional. Gone are the days when celebrities like actress Barbara Windsor and England football captain Bobby Moore were regulars in the 1960s. Bobby Moore even owned the pub in 1966, the same year England clinched the World Cup title. Maybe you’ll also have a lucky streak after visiting the pub.

Address: 337 Whitechapel Rd
