UPDATED and EXPANDED for 2016
Over the years I have come across many fantastic content creators via youtube, in my travels, and at events. So I thought I would put together this list to showcase the very best to you in hopes you find some more inspiring, educational and entertaining travel content to watch.
I am all about sharing the love and introducing you to all these wonderful travel videographers/ travel video bloggers. Some have massive audiences, others are still building, all produce great videos.
These creators all take a very first person approach to story telling and their travel videos. Also, they regularly upload, since there are plenty of viral travel videos and some beautiful travel videographers, but they post infrequently.
Listed in no particular order, go check them out and Subscribe to their channels!

Thanks for the shout-out Nadine! Love these channels, and there are a couple here that are new for me.
Nadine you rock! Thanks for the mention. So many new people to follow and collaborate with 🙂
Great list! I watch your videos, the Vagabrothers, Mark Wiens, and recently discovered Louis, Ben, and Steve!
Thanks Nadine! What a huge honor and surprise this was 🙂 We really admire your channel and the success you’ve achieved with it. Thanks for including us with such great company here 🙂
Hey Nadine, thank you very much, really appreciate it. By the way, in the first photo of you at the top… I have that exact same camera and mic.
I have seen Louis a few times in other peoples videos, and kind of thought I would not really like this guy much. However a few weeks back at the end of the Mexico trip when he gave you a big hug, I thought this guy can’t be all bad, so I started watching his videos. Now I am subscribed and I am definitely a FunForLouis fan. So good of you to give a big shout out to effectively your rivals for YT views. Still waiting for your 2 a week, yeah I know, that’s how Nadine is, but I have learned to live with it. lol
Thanks for including me in this amazing list of incredible YouTube stars! We should all travel together someday SOON!
Love the list! I watch a lot of these people.
Hopefully some day, after I improve myself, I will be on a list like this! 😀
Greats finds 🙂 Some vloggers I haven’t seen before!
So happy to see more and more people traveling these days! We’re glad to be a part of the travel YouTube community!

Subscribed to everyone!
Nice list nadine. Don’t forget to check my channel too.
Cheers!
Love the fellow Travel Vloggers!! Just created my channel before taking off on my RTW trip. I’d love for you to check it out! Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Nadine,
Thanks so much for this list!! I’ve been searching for a list like this for weeks! Be sure to check my daily vlogs out too… I’d post a link but don’t wanna be spammy! I guess you’ll just have to search for me on YouTube yourself 😉
Nadine!! Your videos have inspired us to make our own! We are on a RTW trip for a full year, doing daily vlogs. Our vlog is http://www.youtube.com/c/OrbitTheOrb
Nice round up! I watch many of these folks on a regular basis.
I’ve heard of most of these creators, and I’m excited to start watching some new creators! I found sixpennyglobe a while ago, but unfortunately they stopped posting and I’m not sure what happened to them.
My friend Laura has a small youtube channel and I think she is good enough to be included on this list, but it’s difficult for small youtubers to be recognized when there are so many people creating amazing content.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6vgqVv44Ao&feature=youtu.be
Maybe next year I’ll make the cut 😉
I hope so too! You make cool videos
Check out Carlos Costa. His Himalayan trip is my fav!
Check out Kinging It 🙂
Great list!
Pyschotraveller is also a great travel vlogger. You should check her out!
http://www.psychotraveller.com
Hey Nadine, you should have included Mike from Mike’s Road Trip…his videos are great. And, he’s pretty good looking too. I wish I would have been the one staying with him in this room…: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwGV7XQIKrE
Lots of good sites, some I’ve never seen before so I subscribed and will check them out. I always like the up and coming ones. Thanks for the suggestions.
Psychotraveller, backpacking bananas and Kinging-it should be on this list!! All have very well made videos! Kinging it are hilarious as well 😉
Hi Nadine,
Congratulations for all your work and your blog and Thanks for this great article !
I have been as well a travel vlogger (french) for the last 5 years. I have a video over 850 000 views on Youtube and I have more the 15 500 subscribers. I don’t want to be spammy and insert any link in my comment. But if you take a look to my channel Vizeoproduction and think I would deserve to be part of this article I would be honnored !
I am ranked 18th on Rise Global 1k travel Blogger.
merci Nadine !
I hope to meet in a corner of the world.
Hey Nadine, you are promoting a group of Canadian guys (High on Life) that has been destroying US National Parks and National Landmarks as well as doing the same in other parts of the world. Please remove them from.this list.
Thank you.
Absolutely!! Promoting their illegal and shamelessly destructive acts is disgusting. I can’t believe a fellow traveller and lover of the magnificent natural sights could support such a reckless group. It’s very sad and frustrating to see.
Nadine, Can you update this and remove High on Life? They destroyed a number of sensitive habitats in the US, have warrants for their arrest and are still under investigation for damage in several US Parks. There are several better examples of what to do suggested in your comments and should easily replace these bad examples. Travel and enjoy the world… leave no marks.
Hey Nadine- I am disappointed in your choice to highlight High on Life. If you google High on Life, you will find way more about their destruction than their fun loving give a care attitude about travel and adventure. From Machu Picchu in Peru to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming/Montana to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, I could go on, because there are MORE places they have damaged. I have grown up in Wyoming and love where I live and it saddens me that people think that to get a great picture or to get notoriety that they can be so disrespectful to nature and one another. Please remove them from your site. Thank you.
And don’t forget climbing on a Holocaust memorial in Europe. I hope Nadine will update this blog and remove them. They are NOT worthy of followers or any positive attention.

Great list! You’ve introduced us to a lot of new faces that we were not familiar with. Here are a couple we follow and enjoy. Mike’s Road Trip and Two for the Road, do you know them? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfK8eJZ4oDA – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TSG0OkaB30
Hey Nadine ! Thanks for the nice list, cool channels there 🙂
