What are you doing posting on a travel thread bsnub? You rarely travel more than a couple of miles from the fetid rat infested basement you call home and then its only to purchase lubricant and wet wipes for the jumbo sized anal plug your ex con lesbo hammers in every week whilst you squeal like a pig for mercy.
My first travel
Perth to.bombay at age 18 no internet back then. Didn't have a copy of Lonely planet India, stumbled around for about a month then met a girl that was leaving and she gave me her copy stayed 6 months things were sure easier once I got that travel guide. I didn't use it as a rule it was more suggestions that I could either choose or ignore. Internet wasn't a thing I'm turning 60.tax you do the math.

Where were you, on the beach at Goa with all the silly hippy dropouts, or actually moving around and seeing the horrorshow that is india?
Landed in Bombay the taxi driver sold me a tolla of hash which I paid way to much for,got on the ferry.to panaji ( goa) parked my arse there for about a month in anjuna, then bus trips south towards madras stopping in all sorts of places , done the boat backwater trip in kerela. Took a ferry from trivandrum , Tamil nadu to Sri Lanka spent about a month in Sri Lanka, flew to madras. Train to new Delhi. Side trips to Jaipur, taj mahal bus to Nepal stayed about a month, bus back to Delhi. . Great trip but nothing hippy about it I was cashed up from about 12 months in the Gibson desert after India went to the UK ( scotland) to see the rellos, India is a huge place and I saw a huge chunk of it but I doubt I would ever return. There fucking hard work . The poms sure fucked up there with that colonisation bullshit.. yeah there were plenty of hippy drop-outs and fuck ups I done it in style. It was a good life lesson for me. You get what you pay for..them Injuns sure wore me down with all.that constant haggling. Now in Australia the Indian diaspora still want to haggle. They will even haggle over $5 just to get the last word.interesting country but can't go there to relax.

Do you ever wonder why the national dish of the UK isn't fish n chips anymore tax ? It's curry.
not where i live when im there.
....and theres nowt wrong with a good curry. the uk bobbleheads are mostly ok, hard working, educated and family orientated. unlike the mohammedans from p'stan and b'desh.
i loved india, but it was hard work. i was in rajasthan, himachel pradesh and kashmir. deserts and mountains, proper fucking mountains too. and of course a visit to the medieval charnel house that is varanasi. gruesome sights that still wake me up at night.
Indeed India is not for the faint hearted. At the tender age of 18 limb less beggars scuttling around on trolleys horrified me and I did give them.money but it was apparent it was never enough and eventually I just ignored them, became a bit blase and immune to.it.
Just when I thought we were getting along tax.
whatever happened to him. he had a girlfriend and an apartment in thailand and seemed very contented.
Anyhoo. It's to late. You soap dodgers are stuck with them subcontinental chaps taking your jobs. But it's all good. You can get a decent curry?
Stuff like this always gets my vote. This was interesting.
Now In Laos, with Todd, Neenee and their adopted Mhong daughter Nina. None better. Jumping Places with Chris and the beautiful Carolina. The best don't have their faces in the camera too much, they feature the people and places.
If TikTok counts TomBirtchy is worth a watch to follow his eventual downfall.
^^I followed Jumping Places when they were "trapped" in Palawan (in PH) during covid lockdown. I stopped watching when they left PH. Yeah, their vlogs are good. They seem very chill & calm, not too fakey-happy nor clickbaity. You're right that they show more of the people/ places than themselves.
I also follow them, but didn't see them in the PH. They often mention being stuck in Palawan during Covid. They left the Dominican Republic not long ago which is great scenery. They are in Africa right now, just left off in Namibia.

Delightful Travellers are now living in the Dominican Republic and did a lot of vlogs on the PH, katie. They teamed up with Jumping Places in the Dominican. Check out if interested.

Katie, none of the vloggers I mention in my original OP are fake or clickbaity either. They are all really into the culture, showcase the culture they are in, and most live or have lived in Thailand.
Couple of Japanese; Abroad In Japan with Chris Broad and Paolo from Tokyo.
Chris definitely more humorous, very Jeremy Clarkson-esque
Paolo more informative and his, 'day in the life', series is very cool
I have found another interesting Japanese vlogger who goes and vlogs peoples farms, mainly in the Japanese countryside called Growing Small.

One should listen twice as much as one speaks
Downfall?
I was never into tik tok, I don't even have an account. I know tik tok is off the charts in popularity , but it doesn't appeal to me. Anyone can post whatever. My aunt has gone full on 'hardcore' on it in that she uses all these song apps and puts her face on them. I'm not into the fake things like that.
