YouTubers. Youtubers everywhere [Travel Bloggers]

[rbjhan]

Very niche but I watch Japanese Youtubers...to the surprise of no one!
Solo Travel Japan has English subtitles if anyone's interested. Kuga's Travel is another, he has one English channel and another one in Japanese.
Many others but if you don't speak Japanese probably no good...

There's a certain style to the Japanese Youtubers, which is to say I find them much much less annoying than, you know, Sam Chui etc...

How do you all find the time to watch all these things?

Quick, I’ve got to go and get in my two hours completing the Forza Horizon 5 weekly playlist on the Xbox…


For those who don’t know of what I speak… awesomeness awaits.

The Flip Flop Traveller

Flight Formula

Vicarious Voyager

These are probably my top three. If they're posting, I'm watching.

TFFT pumps out an insane amount of high quality, well narrated content, and brings hotel industry experience to his accommodation reviews. FlightFormula is down to earth and has a uniquely entertaining and comedic style. Vicarious Voyager's videos are well edited with a huge amount of work going especially into silky smooth animations.

I don't think he's been mentioned yet but Ricky from Prince of Travel is also pretty good, and Marcel Brinkpeter (formerly flytoptier) has outstanding production quality and detail if you can make it past his pretentiousness.

More destination oriented than flight review, I'll also never miss an Attache upload.

I watch them both, also practically every Shigetabi release, and the occasional Onoda, Suit, and US生活＆旅行 video

Good Lord - can honestly say I've never heard of any of them! Might have to take a peek.

Please do! They're all up and coming channels and can use the views, subs, and algorithm assistance. FlightFormula is also the creator of the excellent QF WineTracker tool.

Well, I can already say that Attaché has gone straight to the pool room.

Alex is great. He's got quite the CV - he was part of the founding team of Virgin America, went on to become global Head of Online Marketing for Virgin Group. He's also a co-host of travel podcast Layovers if you like his style.

I think I've binged all the flight formula content the past few weeks, there was a great story in one of the videos of how he got into the points game as a teenager in high school. Some awkward gifs and memes as others mentioned, but worth a watch.

Noel Philips is entertaining and annoying at the same time - like a car crash, you can't help but watch.

There's a few others I've enjoyed watching but not remembered who they are - i think there's an Aussie guy who often flies with his wife and is more a Lux traveller. I prefer the aspirational videos generally when seek out this content, unless looking for something practical for an upcoming travel.

If he also flies with a young child in his more recent videos, possibly Eddie Khoo. He flies a lot of J & F out of Australia.

I prefer the ones who don't show themselves...
Or as little as possible!
Trip around JP is another one I like.

Edit, I do get lots of Youtube recommendations and sometimes find good ones for the places I am researching, don't subscribe much though.

Jeb is very much a travel reviewer, although I am not sure what industry Jeb is in.

I went down this rabbit hole during covid. He took over his father's seemingly quite successful sales training business.

He was previously listed as part of the exec team but is no longer - he may have stepped away to pursue Youtube full time.

Like Petter / Mentour Pilot - stops flying for a bit to front a camera!

In terms of aviation related youtubers, one that pops up for me from time to time is Simply Aviation. Just basically reviewing the flight, usually don't see or hear from them at all, and mainly do economy reviews.
