Thanks to the wonders of the internet, you can see, hear and almost feel a destination on screen before you even get there. There are dozens of great video blogs out there on travel that can help you plan your next vacation. Whether you want to rough it in the jungle or live the high life in the world’s great cities, you can take a virtual vacation online with these unique travel vlogs.
Sonia’s Travels
Our favorite travel vlogger right now is the fun and friendly Sonia Gil. In Sonia’s Travels, posted each Thursday, she shares videos of her favorite travel spots. She also offers plenty of useful travel tips, something she refers to as “cracking the secret code of travel,” something we definitely approve of at the Funjet Insider. Watching Sonia’s video on her new favorite beach in Dominican Republic makes you feel like you’re discovering it along with her.
Fun for Louis
Popular vlogger Louis Cole considers himself a nomad, not a tourist. His adventures have led him from LA to Nairobi and everywhere in between. And he records it all, posting videos daily on all of his experiences, from finding authentic samba in Rio to leaving his laptop on the plane from Bejing (and being reunited with it in New Zealand). His videos are a little on the long side, but they really give you an idea of what day-to-day life is like in a destination.
Pause the Moment
At Pause the Moment, Ryan Gargiulo provides tons of tips, gear and accommodation reviews along with his travel videos. For gearheads who wants to make sure their camera stays waterproof and charged, he’s a great resource. He’s spent a lot of time in Mexico, so be sure to check out his videos of Puerto Vallarta and Tulum.
