THE TRUTH About Travel Vlogging / How To Start A Travel Channel TODAY

NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT! Travel vloggers and travel influencers always seem to live that dream life, traveling to the most beautiful destinations, eating the fanciest meals and doing the craziest things. Even though these things do happen, what you see on social media and on YouTube is less than 10% of what travel content creators do.

The reality is that for every hour of us experiencing something amazing or unique, there is hours of work behind the scenes. We need to organize that said travel experience, plan the logistic of going there, finding sponsors to finance the experience or trip, film the entire trip, edit videos, photos and any other piece of content, optimize it and so much more.

That being said, we love what we do and wouldn't change anything. We are very fortunate to have all these travel opportunities but we also work hundreds of hours every single month to make this happen.

If this is still something that interest you, we hope that this video will give you a few pointers on how to start a travel YouTube Channel. You don't need fancy cameras and you don't need to travel far away either. These tips will teach you that starting a vlog with no money is more than possible. It's all about passion!

This is exactly what I want to do. Start local, expand within my state and also take advantage of family vacations. Thank you for validating my idea and for the inspiration.

[davidstevens]

I have really enjoyed your content. You have made me miss Kenya even more than I already do. My parents worked in TZ. Back in mid 80s to early 90s. I attended for few years and graduated from Rift Valley Academy. I've seen more of Kenya on your channel than when I lived there. Keep up the great content.

[FindingFobbyo]

I appreciate this advice. I recently decided to start my channel after a long time debating on it. It is such a weird feeling going from being a photographer behind the camera to putting myself out there in front of it, let alone making videos! Super excited to start my journey and learn along the way
