5 of the best YouTube adventurers, from glorious landscapes to practical guides for your own travels
- There are thousands of travel blogs and channels across the internet, but not all are created equal, we’ve picked five we think are worth your time
With seemingly thousands of travel bloggers and vloggers flooding social media with occasionally compelling but often disappointing content, it can be hard to find people worth paying attention to.
But scratch beneath the surface of this viral sludge and there are some gems to be found, especially if you’re looking for inspiration when it comes to having adventures of your own.
From visually stunning films to practical tips and guides to exploring the world, here are five of the best channels to check out on YouTube.
Harmen Hoek
Describing himself as an “adventurous film maker” Hoek is a man of few words, something reflected in his superb hiking travel videos.
Unlike others, Hoek focuses on producing films that ensure the landscape is the star, with sublime cinematography accompanied by music rather than narrative. A bold step away from the fast-paced content that is the norm.
These are some of the finest hiking films around, and they force the viewer to stop for a while and immerse themselves in the simple beauty of the subject matter.
From the Himalayas to Patagonia, since starting the channel two years ago Harmen has produced 19 films, proving that there is still a place for quality on YouTube for those who are prepared to pause everything else for a moment.
