What are the most miserable travel vlogs? (lemmy.world)

So during COVID lockdowns I developed this guilty pleasure of watching YouTubers having miserable times, in the best case vanlife YouTubers.

I'm feeling the old itch, can you help me? Do you know any videos of people on travel channels having really, really bad times?

I prefer vanlife people, followed by boatlife people. But I'm open to different modes of transport. The more privileged the people and the more miserable their travels, the better.

Edit: so I will give you guys something at least, can't find any of the random small stuff I watched years ago atm. The channel vagrant holiday maybe doesn't quite fulfill the criteria, because the guy is doing everything consciously, but it's a fantastic channel, and there definitely is discomfort:

Okay so I tried and I got a hard reality check, man. I watch way too much YouTube. Even when searching for key words I'm drowning in content or not finding anything. This is destabilizing.

I watch youtube when I can't unwind after all my shifts every day.

Oh no. Sometimes YouTube just removes stuff you’ve watched.
