I sometimes use travel vlogs as research material when planning my trips. I feel they have the potential to give us a glimpse of what everyday life in a foreign place away from the main sights. But I cannot for the life of me stand those vloggers who run around and yell “Hello!” at locals (I appreciate the effort to learn the local language, but who does that? That’s not normal human behaviour.).

Are there any vloggers who do not exhibit the behaviour above you could recommend?

    Wolters World isn’t exactly vlogging more like tips on travel from experience. And he seems nice

    The love for Bald is head scratching. He gives an exclusively stereotypical Anglo point of view, seems condescending and borderline racist. The type of traveler he portrays is the exact type of traveler I am actively trying to avoid when abroad

      Pretty sure he’s extremely derogatory towards women too. Can’t remember specifically what it was but he was involved in some dodgy forums.

    Backpacking bananas is pretty legit and I check in for Lostleblanc when he uploads.
