I would certainly add Jordan Taylor, Travel Light, https://www.youtube.com/Travellight21
and Poppy https://www.youtube.com/c/WheresPoppy from Where’s Poppy.
They both produce absolutely fabulous video blog posts.
Might seem conceited to be plugging my own Kindle book but thought it might be of interest to your followers? It tells of my travels in Japan from a daily log I kept plus tips, hints and some advice. I travel alone and mostly stay in self-catering apartments. I started at age 64 and my next trip should have been to celebrate my 70th but Covid put an end to that – so I am aiming to celebrate my 71st in Japan!!!
It’s in Kindle format because I made slideshows of each day which I uploaded to Youtube and the links are within the text.
This isn’t about making money, I really wanted to share my love for Japan and my experience with like minded people – so it is priced at 2.99 GPB (about 12 shekels, less than $4) It’s actually free on Kindle Unlimited!
