I really enjoy Kara and Nate. They are the right level of enthusiastic and authentic, without being overwhelming.

They're all the same 'how to live dirt cheap in x 'top 10 places to go in the most tourist driven part of x city' insert surprised Pikachu face at 'you won't guess what we ate this night market!'

Benny and Meeka are my favorite now. Channel it's pretty new, but they’re a super chill couple. Not overly hyped and annoying like others.
Idk if she is travel vlogger. But Sundai Love. I absolutely love her content.
Indigo traveler. Goes to the most f ed up places in the world and often times genuinely transforms their life to the better. Very authentic and a perfect contrast to the „how much I get out of 100 USD in a Vietnam“
I often try to get the feeling of a city by watching a 4K walking tour on YouTube. I try to do this on Google Maps as well, but often their maps are 5+ years old. I just watched a few of Montevideo for example.
I also look on Google Maps for "consumption zones" which are the yellow areas that are typically commercial or mixed-use zones where people might be going around to get a feeling for the walkability and vibe.
Vloggers IMO are not a great fit for digital nomads. They are trying to create engaging content for the average person, which means, they are trying to create artificially engaging content, whether it reflects reality or not. I'm personally trying to see how day-to-day life would be if I were to be there for more than a few days.
