As mentioned before in my blog posts, my ultimate dream for a career would be to do something involved with traveling the world. Now for some people, traveling the world would just include going to certain countries, taking pictures and videos, and relaxing and having a good time. However, there’s way more than just that. I believe that every country has a secret treasure that nobody knows about or is just unfamiliar with.
For example, Jacob, for the most part, stays aways from heavily populated, touristy areas in the countries he visits. He does a great job unveiling what I like to call, “secret treasures,” of a country, or the parts that have yet to have been noticed by the public. These “treasures” can include a variety of things, such as spectacular views of nature, or meeting and interacting with the locals to get a better understanding of the way of life. I’ve noticed that many of these travel YouTubers do put themselves out there to meet with the locals and get personal stories or information about a country’s history, culture, current status, and/or relationship with other countries.
Jacob, Indigo Traveller and Drew Binsky, are three of my favorite travel YouTubers who have mastered this art form and hence, this creates not only better content, but produces a better overall story, which at the end of the day, is what traveling is all about. Every country has its own story and some of these stories have yet to be discovered. I want to open up the covers and read these stories out loud to the world and open up people’s minds.
As mentioned, Drew Binsky is one of my other favorite YouTubers who travels for a living. The biggest appeal to me about his channel, is his determination to visit every country in the world. As of this blog post, he only has 15 left, and he’s not even 30. I would love to visit every country in the world, but I’d want to do it in a unique style. I’d really want to immerse myself. I’d not only want to be a storyteller, I’d want to be an inhabitant. I’d like to live in every country in the world for at least 30 days, to really gain a sense of the way of life.
I know some countries are probably too dangerous to visit for 30 days and I know some would forbid that, but you never know what could happen. Anything is possible, which is another seemingly repetitive but misunderstood statement. There are nearly 200 countries in this world and each one is beautiful and unique in its own way, so the journey would never die down as long as you have that passion and love for what you’re doing.
