Are you looking for the best travel YouTube channels to follow? Don’t miss our list of the top travel vloggers!

travel the world videos

YouTube travel vlogs are an obsession for millions of would-be travelers all over the globe. There is something about a life of full-time travel that captivates our imaginations. We use travel vlogs to find all the details we need to know before taking a trip, to see places we have always dreamed of, or just to get away from our real life for 30 mins.  Our favorite travel vloggers introduce us to the best street food in Japan, the most beautiful beaches in the Philippines, backpacking in Thailand, and the active volcanoes of Iceland. 

Their carefree and fearless lifestyle urges us all to live a little freer and chase our dreams of adventure. These successful vloggers have captivated us with their footage and made us feel like family with their loveable personalities.  We look forward to their next trip and wait anxiously for the video notification to arrive.  Each is different in their video style, editing, and filming techniques, personality, goals, and niche, but they all have our watch-time!  Here are our votes for the best travel YouTube channels to watch right now!

Sometimes you just need to see it in writing.  Along with this list of the best vloggers, also check out our list of  The Best Travel Blogs of 2021!

The Best Travel Youtube Channels

Kara and nate, who are they:  .

Kara and Nate are travel vloggers that are just good wholesome fun.  They set out from Nashville Tennesee to travel the world about 5 years ago.  Soon after, they made a bucket list goal to visit 100 countries by 2020.  They met their 100-country goal, and by that time, YouTube was a steady career for them.  Kara and Nate are truly addicted to international travel, but COVID changed that game for the couple.  Having no quit in them, they found a way to travel safely and returned to the United States.  They converted a Sprinter van and have set a new goal to visit all 50 states.  Kara and Nate are one of the largest travel channels and have now put out more than 800 videos, so you better get started!

What Makes Kara and Nate Special:  

Kara is a joyful soul. Her big smile and contagious laugh keep you smiling the whole episode.  Plus, she is always ready to laugh at herself and just seems like an all-around nice person.  Nate is so driven and incredibly smart.  Their channel not only provides solid entertainment but great travel hacks and tips from Nate.  Nate has an online course on credit card travel hacks, while Kara sells courses on editing.

Kara and Nate don’t just randomly vlog, they focus on finding the absolute best and most unique experiences and accommodations in their travels.  On top of all that, their filming and editing skills are above and beyond most in the travel vlog world.  They have taken this venture as a business from early on in the process, and it shows.  They are some of the best travel vloggers in the world!

Flying the Nest

Stephen and Jess are an Australian couple who have been traveling the world for years!  We have watched them grow up, get married, and start a family on YouTube.  Currently, they are traveling Australia in their brand new converted van, “Cooper The Van.”  Stephen and Jess show us the best places to eat, unique places to stay, and how to still have adventure even when the kiddos come along.

What Makes Flying the Nest Special:  

Jess is possibly the most down-to-earth beauty out there.  Nothing seems to ruffle her feathers, and she is just a calming force to watch.  Stephen is quirky and so funny.  He is a dork, and he knows it, and he owns it!  Their love for each other is evident, and it’s just a feel-good watch.  Plus, now they have the addition of beautiful baby Hunter, the most chill travel baby ever! 

Hunter has added a whole new level of cute to the series, and the whole audience feels like proud parents watching their own child experience her first Aussie beach sunset.  They are a beautiful family, with a beautiful story.  In addition to all this, Stephen’s camera work and elegant editing style are all his own.  His work is distinguishable and excellent!  We think Flying the Nest is one of the best travel youtube channels out there!

Who Are They :

There is nothing more fun on the planet than watching these two crazy Welsh kids tackle the world! Their accents are hilarious.  They are hilarious.  Craig and Aimee have been together for a very long time, and their relationship has been strengthened by a near-death experience by each of them!  When they met, Aimee had just received a cancer diagnosis, and the road was long and hard.  Then, Craig challenged their relationship some more with a broken neck from an adventure sports accident. 

These two events, in a short span of time, convinced this crazy pair to chase after an unconventional life, and to live every moment to its fullest! Through it all, they have kept their joy and their sense of spontaneity.  Their motto is to “Rule Your Own World,” and they certainly do.  They have spent the last couple of years renovating a Mercedes Vario Bus into their new home.  Custard the Bus is a beauty, and her European adventures are just beginning. They have 500 travel videos for you to binge!  We think they are one of the best travel channels on YouTube and terribly underrated. 

What Makes Kinging It Special:

Craig and Aimee are absolutely hilarious.  They will have you wetting yourself, every episode!  Plus, they take on the wildest challenges.  They have completed the massive and absurd Mongol Rally, a competition that travels all through Europe and Asia, usually ending somewhere in Eastern Russia.  The car must be a clunker and have under a 1L engine, and chaos is highly encouraged!  Craig and Aimee’s Mongol Rally Series will have you rolling. Then these crazy kids bought their own rickshaw and proceeded to drive it from across India from North to South.  It was a wild ride.  Craig and Aimee are two personalities that you won’t soon forget, and their wild abandon, hilarious travel stories, and zest for life will make you want to live a little more freely, and “Rule your own world!”

Raya and Louis

Who are they:.

Raya and Louis are fairly new to the Travel YouTube scene as a couple, but Louis Cole has been in the biz for a long time.  His original channel, FunForLouis has over 2Million Subs, and it’s easy to see why.  Louis is just likable with his laidback vibe and a head full of dreadlocks. He’s an easy-going and loveable dude.  He and Raya are currently traveling through Europe in a rented van visiting family and taking holiday, but soon they will head back to their main mission.  They have about 50 videos out, so you can still easily catch up with the adventure.

What Makes Raya and Louis Special: 

Raya and Louis are into deep convos.  They have spilled the beans about the hard parts of their relationships and mental health issues, and there is just something about that level of vulnerability that makes you want to watch. They are also very eco-conscious and give great tips on how to travel in an eco-friendly way.  They have recently purchased land in Costa Rica to build a tree-house jungle community.  Like with everyone else, COVID changed their plans a bit, but soon, they will be making their way down to Costa Rica in their converted school bus to start a new life!  We can’t wait to see the community they build. 

Endless Adventure

Eric and Allison are the most charming couple from Missouri.  They’re sometimes Southern twang and complete and utter talent to be their quirky selves is both endearing and super funny.  Eric is a computer geek and a total self-proclaimed nerd.  Allison is red-headed beauty with the best big awkward laugh.  These two specialize in unique accommodations and lots of food! They always show us the best places to eat, and exactly what weird foods to try. 

Their lighthearted personalities and willingness to just be their nerdy selves make you instantly love them!  They have currently begun a tiny home renovation too, but not any old sprinter van would fit these two.  They have bought a completely run-down 1970s RV, and they are taking on the renovation completely by themselves!  Clementine  is going to be a beauty, and it has been an awesome journey to watch.  They have  737  videos for you to catch up on!

What Makes Endless Adventure Special:  

They make great videos.  They cover great content, but Allison and Eric are people you could watch read the phone book and be happy.  They are really enjoyable to watch, no matter what they are doing.  They obviously love one another. They love good beer and whiskey in equal measure, and they love a challenge.  They are awkward, funny, quirky, and absolutely adorable!  Keep it coming Eric and Allison. We love it all!

Who Is He:  

“Food is the reason you should travel.”  Well, Mark, we agree!  After University, Mark Wiens set out to find the world’s best street food.  He has traveled the markets of Southeast Asia, stalls of Japan, and he recently spent 16 days with the street vendors of Pakistan.  Mark’s channel is absolutely huge!  With over 8 million viewers, it’s obvious that we YouTube viewers really love food…and Mark.  Mark is an unassuming and charming guy. His great big smile, love for food, and humble demeanor are endearing.  Between his YouTube personality and his incredibly informative blog, Migrationology,  it’s no wonder he has so many faithful followers.  Mark has found a beautiful wife in Thailand and settled with his new family in Bangkok, but they still travel frequently in the hunt for the best street foods in the world!

What Makes Mark Special: 

Honestly, we all wish we knew Mark’s secret!  We think the secret to Mark’s success, aside from some great business savvy, is his magnetic personality.  Mark is one of the most positive personas online.  Even after over 1,100 videos on food, he still seems just as excited as he did with the first one!  Mark greets every new place and every new food adventure with gusto and genuine excitement.  Mark loves food, and we love Mark!

Travel Beans

Alex and Emma are a pair of Brits out traveling the world and documenting their “Tipsy Beans” moments.  They may or may not have a tendency to get a little inebriated while filming.  Alex is witty and his sarcasm comes at the most unexpected moments.  Emma is a doll and has been very prominent in the push for better mental health advocacy.  Emma has struggled with some depression issues, which they have well-documented in a two-part series on their channel.  Thankfully, she has received the help she needed and has come out on the other side.  She now uses their channel on occasion to express the importance of finding life and health in this world, and doing what makes you happy! They have recently started a van conversion as well, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with!

What Makes Travel Beans Special:  

Alex and Emma are truly authentic.  What you see is what you get: drunk, depressed, happy, angry, sarcastic, whatever is going on, you get the true and unfiltered version from them.  They are very funny, and who doesn’t love that perfect British accent? If sarcastic and loveable Brits adventuring is your thing, Alex and Emma have 485 videos just waiting for you!

Who Is She: 

Nadine is one of the oldest and best in the game.  For almost 10 years she has been traveling the globe, first as a solo traveler, then-wife, and now mother.  Nadine has been to almost 60 countries and is the travel tips queen!  She’s always got the best advice and little tricks to make your trip smoother.  Plus, she’s really funny.  Her vlog has transitioned a lot since becoming a new mother.  She posts much more of the daily grind and general lifestyle hacks, but we still can’t take our eyes off her.  Nadine has represented every big brand in the business, spoken at every travel conference, and landed all the awards.  She is the best, and yet she is humble and down to earth. We’ll watch you mom any day Nadine!

What Make Hey Nadine Special:  

Nadine has been in the wanderlust business a long time, and she just knows how to be in front of the camera.  She presents great info in a funny way, and she is joyful and energetic.  She is just fun to watch.

Lexi Limitless

Lexi is a new kid on the scene who has made a huge splash!! That’s all because she has the unique distinction of holding a Guinness World Record.  Lexie was the youngest person ever to travel to all 196 countries of the world.  She accomplished this feat before her 21st birthday!  Lexi is a remarkable young woman, and that level of travel has made her wise and mature beyond her years.

What Makes Lexi Limitless Special:   

This solo female traveler has literally experienced every culture on earth.  She has lived with remote African tribes and tried the world’s most nasty foods.  She is a lovely girl, with a great series of travel vlogs that cover a wide range of topics, obviously!  Her footage is surprisingly well-shot and well-edited. Lexie is just starting to roll out the videos from her years of travel, so go check her out now!

Alexander Ayling

Alex and Marko Ayling made YouTube travel content for years as the Vagabrothers.  They have now slowed on that, but Alexander is taking on a brand new adventure.  He has moved to New Zealand and bought a homestead with his wife Carrie. After a long hunt for the perfect property, they have finally found it, and the renovations have begun.  Alex and Carrie have big plans, and we can’t wait to see how it turns out!

What Makes Alexander Ayling Special:  

Alex is a filmmaker at heart.  His footage is perfect. Always.  Not to mention that Alex has a very distinct narrative style to his videos.  He wants his channel to feel like a place where you come to have a good chat with an old friend.  He truly lets you in on his life and leaves you wanting more!   Catch up on Alex and Carrie’s Renovation Dream here!

Wolter’s World

Wolter’s World has carved out his own nitch in the travel world.  Unlike the rest of the famous travel bloggers, Wolter doesn’t tell you what to do in a famous destination.  He tells you what not to do!  Brilliant.  Every great traveler wants to blend in and look like a local if possible, or at least not do anything too stupid!  Wolter helps us out in this realm.  He makes sure we know the “Top Ten Things NOT to do in El Salvador,” and everywhere else!  Wolter’s World has been in the game almost 10 years too, and his video collection is extensive.  If you want to make sure you don’t have massive culture shock, have all the do’s and dont’s, and know the down and dirty for your destination, Wolter is your guy!

What Makes Wolter’s World Special:  

Wolter has a special way of being able to present the good, the bad, and the ugly about a destination, in a respectful and culturally appropriate way.  He is not afraid to state the bad stuff, and we appreciate it.  Let’s be real. Every destination has its goods and bads, and any experienced traveler wants to know the less than glossy stuff before we arrive. So, we appreciate you, Wolter, keep it up!

Expert Vagabond

Matthew Karstan is a true vagabond.  His channel focuses on hiking and camping adventures and budget travel advice in some incredible and off-the-tourist-track places.  Matt has worked with everyone from Lonely Planet, to National Geographic, and Go Pro.  He excels as a travel blogger and photographer,  in print and social media. His travel blog tells exceptional stories of life on the road as a digital nomad. However, his YouTube channel is a fabulous collection of his adventures in true old-school vlogger fashion. He is genuine, experienced, and gives fantastic advice.

What Makes Expert Vagabond Special: 

Matthew is just a normal guy who loves nature and loves to travel the world.  He isn’t especially eloquent, and his videos aren’t overproduced.  He just gives great footage, great advice, and especially great travel experiences, from an expert traveler who has seen it all!

Eamon and Bec

Eamon and Bec are the quintessential van-lifers… or they were.  They were traveling in Morocco when COVID hit, and they had to abandon their van  Trinity  there.  Though they did get a new van and do a few trips, COVID made life tough for these Canadians.  They soon abandoned the van in favor of a cabin in the Canadian wilderness.  They are quite the DIYers and have entertained us thoroughly with their renovation successes and disasters!  Eamon is always on the move to the next crazy antic and Bec is just along for the ride.  Her great big laugh and gentle spirit make everyone love her.  Their next adventure is to buy another Canadian property to run as an Airbnb.

What Makes Eamon and Bec Special: 

E and B are another great couple that has proved during this pandemic that they could sit and do absolutely nothing, and we would still tune in every Sunday to get our fix!  We have watched them tackle everything from van conversions to home conversion, dog fostering, and more. And, we still can’t get enough. This delightful pair has over 300 vids for you to veg out on, and we know you’re gonna love them.

Rick Steves

Rick Steves is the king of all things travel-related. Period.  There are no better travel guide books on the planet! His fabulously detailed books and ridiculously nerdy audio guides have been leading us through Europe and making us snort-laugh for years! But, the YouTube videos he produces are just as good.  Rick isn’t really a vlogger in the traditional sense.  His videos are definitely professionally researched, written, filmed, and produced by a talented professional team.  They are just the right mix of fun and informative, with all the necessary information on tourist sites and local must-do items. 

What Makes Rick Steves Special:

In short, the experience.  Rick has traveled Europe extensively, with multiple visits to each country.  His team of local guides, researchers, and destination experts put for the most up-to-date and interesting information and leave out the fluff!  With well over 1800 videos to peruse, there really is no better place to get all your necessary trip information. 

Sailing la Vagabonde

Riley and Elayna have the world’s largest sailing YouTube channel.  These two Aussies are going through a transition though.  They recently had their second baby and sailed their last sail.  So, what is up for the crazy foursome now?  We don’t really know, but we know it will be fun!

What Makes Saling La Vagabonde Special: 

We have watched their whole relationship unfold from newly-mets who had never sailed, to season professionals with two beautiful kiddos. We don’t know what is in store, but we are guaranteed to stay tuned to see! 

New Travel YouTube Channels to Keep an Eye On

While we have focused most of this article on the oldies but goodies, there are some truly great channels that are just getting their start on YouTube.  For a few fresh faces in the travel industry, we suggest you subscribe to one of these awesome newcomers!

Jits into the Sunset

Tania and Adam are an Irish and English couple traveling the UK with their Sprinter van  Jitters.  They are different in the YouTube crowd.  They make travel vlogs, yes, but not all that often.  They are self-proclaimed slow travelers, who put out new videos whenever they feel like it. However, they are full of travel inspiration and well worth the wait.  

What Makes Jits Special:  

Adam and Tania do life van life their own way, and they don’t seem to get caught up in the travel YouTube channel game.  They make vlogs, but it doesn’t seem to rule their life.  They live on their own plane and do things in true freedom, and that’s an admirable way to live!

Lost Among Locals

Who are they: .

Ryan and Abby are a married couple from Arkansas.  They left their jobs and sold it all in early 2020: the big house, the cars, all of it! Little did they know COVID was coming. Like everyone on this list,  it changed their plans a bit, but they managed to Central America and start their world tour.  Ryan is quiet, slightly awkward, and you can tell he is the world’s nicest person.  Abby is sassy, funny, and you never know what might come out of her mouth!  

Ryan and Abby are culture vultures who genuinely love to learn about history, cultural oddities, and all the things that make different people groups unique.  They are full-time travelers and digital nomads, so their version of slow travel and international living is refreshing to watch. 

What Makes Lost Among Locals Special:  

They traveled internationally for 12 years before leaving for full-time travel and had already experienced several amazing destinations as a pair.  So, they bring a unique blend of touristy sites juxtaposed with everyday local life and budget travel tips.  They dance with Albanians at a baby’s birthday party, play street games with old Turkish men, and score the best local foods in every destination.  COVID definitely made local interaction harder for them, as they regrettably express, but we look forward to seeing more of their off-the-beaten-path lifestyle in the future!  Keep up the good work guys!

The Vandersons

Emily and Danny feel like instant friends.  They are just so likable.  Danny and Emily set out in their van, with their cat Graham and dog Sombrita right after they got married.  They have since been traveling through Central America with their nomad pet family! Their goal is to make the full journey from Seattle to Argentina in their tiny, colorful van.  Though they are new to video making, their vlogs are heartfelt and laidback.  Danny is a lifelong BMX biker and app developer, with a surfer boy vibe and Emily is the sweetest soul. If easy-going is the vibe you are after, these two have the vids for you! 

What Makes The Vandersons Special:  

Emily has a narrating voice that is absolute perfection. Their footage is good, but the real perk to watching the Vandersons is that they tackle destinations you have never heard of.  Because they travel full-time, at their own pace, they get to some truly off-the-beaten-path gems that you don’t get to see in many other travel vlogs. Plus, their delightful pet-filled family is just heartwarming, and it’s awesome to see a young couple so happy, living a crazy unconventional life to the fullest!  

That’s it, guys!  These are the best travel bloggers out there right now!  You have lots of new videos to binge, so you better get busy! Let us know in the comments, which of these bloggers is your favorite.

You’re stuck at home, wishing you were on that trip to wherever you had to cancel. Here are ways to tour destinations throughout the world from the safety of your own home. Some of the videos offer 360-degree views, music and narration and all but one are free.

“Rick Steves’ Europe”

The most-watched PBS travel show since 2000 offers every episode for free on RickSteves.com . Steves is an engaging host who discusses history and culture as he takes viewers on insightful tours of destinations as diverse as Spain’s Andalucía and the Holy Land .

Visitors to his website can also listen to his radio shows and delve into Steves’ new “ Classroom, ” which includes short videos on serious subjects such as empowering women in poor countries.

“ Hunger and Hope ,” his newest TV program, follows him through Ethiopia and Guatemala to examine extreme poverty. After spending many months every year on the road, Steves, like us, is now housebound, he said in an email. “My ‘Hunger and Hope’ special focuses on the strides we’ve made in helping the poor around the world to improve their lives,” he said. “You’ll be inspired to see how people can pull together to overcome crisis.”

Google Arts & Culture

Since 2011, Google’s arts and culture platform has been building an impressive collection of interactive photo tours of the world’s greatest museums and monuments. Viewers click around on the screen to get different views, zoom in and out and read descriptions. It’s a good way to take a dive deep into works of art; it’s best accessed on the free Arts & Culture app (available for IOS and Android) while you’re wearing headphones.

The Google platform has upped audience appeal with “ The Hidden Worlds of the National Parks ,” its latest offering. Through 360-degree video and interactive photos, visitors explore Kenai Fjords National Park in Alaska; Hawaii Volcanoes National Park; Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico; Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah; and Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida. Each program is enlivened with dramatic music to match the scenery and narration by the park’s rangers.

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long, 18 miles wide and a mile deep.

This Russian company films throughout the world, capturing iconic cities, parks and historic monuments in 360-degree photos and 360-degree high-def videos designed for virtual-reality headsets. The AirPano website sells its inventory to download for VR viewing, but visitors are welcome to watch clips of more than 140 videos online for free.

They run as long as seven minutes; most have gorgeous scenery and atmospheric music and some include narration. No surprise that clips of destinations with the most views are bucket list favorites: the Grand Canyon in Arizona; Antarctica ; the pyramids in Egypt .

Other popular videos include action adventures such as diving with a great white shark . There also are clips from film shoots in Russia: Frolic with bears in the Kamchatka , celebrate New Year’s Eve in Moscow (it’s a lot tamer than you may think) and fly scarily close to the eruption of the Klyuchevskaya Sopka volcano . After perusing AirPano’s video clips, you may decide to splurge on a VR headset.

Touropia loves “best of” lists. Watch free videos such as “15 Best Places to Visit in Asia” and “17 Most Beautiful Islands in the World,” then read photo and fact-filled travel articles for more information — and links to hotel reservation sites. This is the website for those who want to travel the entire world while sitting at home.

You may have seen a Geobeats video clip on TripAdvisor.com . This global network of local filmmakers makes short travel films to sell to tour operators, destinations and other travel-related businesses. It’s fun to browse the website’s one- to three-minute video clips. It favors the fun, young and quirky, with lots of GoPro and drone shots.

Check out “ The World’s Scariest Hike” or “ Here’s What It’s Like to Experience the World’s Highest Cliff Jump .” Brett Olsen is the energetic on-camera host for slightly longer videos such as “ Five Ancient Sites People Believe Were Built by Aliens .”

Did aliens create the lines in Nazca, Peru?

The Great Courses Plus

Great Courses , which offers hundreds of online classes from English literature to statistics, has a travel category that includes Great Tours: England, Scotland, Wales taught by British-born historian Patrick N. Allitt.

The 36 lively and informative 30-minute video lessons focus on subjects such as Britain’s medieval castles, London museums and estates and gardens. If you watch one a day, you’ll be traveling in Britain for more than a month.

Access to all courses costs $19.99 a month for a year. You also can sign up for a $10-a-month plan that includes a 14-day trial and no-fee cancellation at any time.

How the best travel vloggers were chosen:

Like all lists, people will wonder why they’re not on it. I’m positive I missed some good ones, but this is very loose criteria I’d be using if I were hired to cast, produce or pitch a TV show. Creators did not need to meet all criteria, but most. – Programming: Weekly dedication, quality, storytelling & individual style execution – Audience: Niche, loyalty, & YouTube friendly – Blog worthy and/or binge worthy – Does it bring a new spin to the term “travel video” or “travel show” – Channel Personality/Talent: brand recognition, hosting & entertainment value

I never had the money or time to travel. But at 64, I'm done only seeing the world through photos and videos.

  • I grew up living paycheck to paycheck and working my whole life, but I always dreamed of travel.
  • At 64, a few years from retirement, I can afford to travel and I built up the courage to go alone.
  • My first trip was to Antarctica, and I plan to keep seeing the world while I can. 

Insider Today

I've dreamed of travel ever since my uncle gave me a subscription to National Geographic magazine for my 8th birthday.

I still remember flipping through beautiful photos of Antarctica and dreaming about one day seeing such a wondrous place with my own eyes.

But travel was never really in the cards for me. I grew up living paycheck to paycheck in a large family in a small Long Island town. I've been working since I was a kid, and I never even left North America.

But I decided that, at 64 years old, my dreams have been on hold for long enough.

I finally have the money and time to travel, even though I'm not retired yet (I still have about three more years until then). I started my bucket list, and I'm determined to check things off.

First up was my dream adventure to Antarctica .

I mustered up the courage to book a long solo cruise

A cruise seemed like the best way to visit Antarctica — it's generally more cost-effective than flying — so I booked one that embarked from Santiago, Chile, this past December.

It was my first time leaving North America , and I was petrified of heading to South America, alone, for 16 nights.

But I also knew that if I didn't overcome these fears, I would only see the world through pictures and videos. I'd be depriving myself of my life-long dreams.

Related stories

Fortunately, I summoned the courage and boarded the plane for the long flight to Chile.

Seeing Antarctica was as incredible as I'd dreamed it'd be

The cruise itself was quite the journey.

I bundled up and tried to maintain composure as temperatures dropped, and we sailed through the notoriously rough and rocky Drake Passage .

I felt like I was in a movie as the ship approached Elephant Island, awed by the majestic snow-covered peaks and glaciers and the enormity of where I was swept over me.

As we continued toward the Antarctic Peninsula, we sailed past magnificent icebergs of various colors, shapes, and sizes — some as tall as a 20-story building.

We even passed a research station, where the inhabitants came out and waved to us travelers as we sailed by. From my balcony, I saw penguins, whales, birds, and other sea life.

While stopping at the Falkland Islands, I took an excursion to a penguin rookery and watched thousands of penguins walking on glaciers and diving into the ocean.

It was pure magic.

The experience bolstered my courage and deepened my desire to keep traveling

The trip was everything I thought it would be, and more.

It made me more confident that I could overcome some of my fears of traveling to foreign countries, especially doing so alone.

Next on my bucket list is visiting other places my 8-year-old self dreamed of seeing, like Norway and Iceland. Later this year, I'm flying to England to board another cruise for another long-awaited adventure.

Although it took decades to get here, I'm glad to finally be pursuing my travel dreams — now, there's no turning back.

Intense rainfall sweeps across Dubai and the wider United Arab Emirates, disrupting flights

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Intense rainfall swept across Dubai and the wider United Arab Emirates on Saturday, causing localized flooding and disrupting flights at the world’s busiest airport for international travel.

Nearly 50 millimeters (2 inches) of rain fell in Dubai over six hours — a heavy amount when the country as a whole averages under 120 millimeters (4.7 inches) of precipitation a year. Authorities sent crews out to collect downed tree limbs and open up drainage grates, though the rain quickly overwhelmed some areas.

Dubai police shut down portions of one major highway as traffic slowly crept through standing water on others. Rare lightning storms also lit up the afternoon sky.

At Dubai International Airport, the busiest for international travel, flights for both long-haul carrier Emirates and its low-cost sister airline, FlyDubai, were disrupted in the downpour.

Authorities had warned the public about the coming storm over a day in advance, with emergency personnel preparing for the rare rain.

Rain is unusual in this arid, Arabian Peninsula nation, but occurs periodically during the cooler winter months.

After a Night ‘on Fire,’ Biden Hits the Road to Make the Case for a Second Term

Pumped up by the reaction to his forceful address to Congress the evening before, the president sought to build on the momentum by opening his general election campaign with a trip to Pennsylvania.

Biden Makes a Campaign Stop in Pennsylvania

President biden held a campaign rally outside philadelphia on friday to amplify his message from his state of the union address..

Our freedoms really are on the ballot this November. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are trying to take away our freedoms. That’s not an exaggeration. Well, guess what? We will not let him. [cheering] We will not let him. I see a future where we defend democracy. Not diminish it. I see a future where we defend our freedom, not take them away. I see a future the middle class has a fair shot and the wealthy pay their fair share. I see a future for the planet — move from the climate crisis in our country, away from the gun violence that we have so much of. I see a future of America remains the beacon of the world.

By Peter Baker

Reporting from Wallingford, Pa.

  • March 7, 2024

President Biden took his bid for a second term on the road on Friday, effectively opening the general election campaign with a strongly populist pitch and an aggressive attack on his Republican challenger, former President Donald J. Trump.

Kicking off a monthlong set of barnstorming trips mainly to swing states, Mr. Biden reprised the themes of his State of the Union address at a rally in Wallingford, Pa., as he sought to capitalize on his robust nationally televised performance and galvanize Democrats who have been anxious about his age and poor poll numbers.

Mr. Biden made clear that his regular targets during this re-election bid would be billionaires, corporations, pharmaceutical companies, banks, credit card companies and even potato chip makers. All of them, in his telling, are out to gouge consumers and duck their fair share of taxes. But his favorite villain in his election-year narrative will still be Mr. Trump, his opponent from 2020 now in a rematch set by this week’s Super Tuesday primaries .

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are trying to take away our freedoms,” Mr. Biden told a crowd of cheering Democrats in a school gymnasium, this time not shying away from citing his challenger by name, unlike the night before. “That’s not an exaggeration. But guess what? We will not let him.”

Mr. Biden seemed delighted by the reviews of his State of the Union address, which allies hope will jump-start his campaign after months of Democratic uncertainty about his prospects. “I got my usual warm reception from Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene,” he joked, referring to the Georgia Republican who had heckled and jeered him .

He was so pumped up after the speech, he said, that he stayed up until 2 a.m. and checked out the Fox News coverage. Unsurprisingly, he disagreed with the conservative network’s take that his economic policies would “ruin America,” as he summarized it. “We have the strongest economy in the world right now,” he said.

The president was introduced on Friday by his wife, Jill Biden, who seemed likewise charged up by the address to Congress. “Wasn’t he on fire?” she asked the crowd.

She too went after Mr. Trump directly, contrasting him with her husband. “He wakes up every morning thinking about how he can make the lives of Americans better,” she said of Mr. Biden. “Donald Trump wakes up every morning caring about one person and one person only: himself.”

The president’s travel schedule is about to pick up. After this stop in Pennsylvania, Mr. Biden will head to Georgia on Saturday, New Hampshire on Monday and Wisconsin and Michigan in the middle of next week. Vice President Kamala Harris will travel to Arizona and Nevada, meaning that between the two they will hit within a week all of the half-dozen swing states considered critical to the outcome in November.

The cabinet will join in the blitz as well, with the secretaries of the Treasury, interior, agriculture, labor, health and human services, education, energy and veterans affairs as well as various agency directors all taking to the road. The officials will talk about policy goals like protecting abortion rights and promote the administration’s accomplishments, such as strong job growth, rather than making formal campaign speeches, but it all fits into the broader effort. The president and his team got good news as they headed out when the Labor Department reported that U.S. employers had added 275,000 jobs last month.

Mr. Biden’s well-funded campaign announced that it would open the season with a $30 million advertising blitz . The campaign plans to hire 350 staff members and open 100 offices in battleground states over the next month, countering Democratic nervousness about its sluggish start.

After flying to Philadelphia on Friday, Mr. Biden stopped at a private home in Swarthmore to visit Jack and David Cunicelli, the owners of a local cafe. A member of their family is an old friend of Hunter Biden, the president’s son.

But one of the electoral challenges facing Mr. Biden as he seeks to reassemble his 2020 coalition manifested when he arrived at Strath Haven Middle School in Wallingford, where hundreds of protesters upset at his support for Israel’s war in Gaza were waiting. “Shame on you,” they chanted. They added, pointedly, “This November, we remember.”

Inside the gymnasium, Mr. Biden got a friendlier greeting from the crowd: “Four more years!”

Mr. Biden did not exhibit the same volume as he had the night before and stumbled over his words occasionally. But wearing a blue quarter-zip sweater and no tie, he appeared loose and in good spirits, engaging playfully with the crowd. At one point, he trotted out one of his regular lines, complaining that billionaires pay only 8 percent in taxes, a figure that fact checkers have said is misleading .

“I pay more than that,” a woman called out.

“You sure hell do!” he replied.

After his speech was over and Dr. Biden joined him onstage, the president interrupted the applause and made the campaign staff turn down the music so he could tell a well-worn story about how he had proposed to her. “I had to ask this woman five times to marry me!”

But he had a serious message about the choice he sees for the country between him and Mr. Trump, whom he blamed for threatening democracy and coarsening society.

“When you ride down the street, there’s a Trump banner with an F-U on it and a 6-year-old kid putting up his middle finger — did you ever think you’d hear people talk the way they do?” Mr. Biden asked. “Look, it demeans who we are. That’s not America.”

The president associated his challenger with dictators like President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and autocrats like Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary , essentially making the case that Mr. Trump shares their anti-democratic instincts.

“You know who he’s meeting with today down in Mar-a-Lago?” Mr. Biden asked the crowd. “Orban of Hungary, who stated flatly he doesn’t think democracy works, he’s looking for dictatorship.” He added, “That’s who he’s meeting with. I see a future where we defend democracy, not diminish it. I see a future where we defend our freedoms, not take them away.”

Our Coverage of the State of the Union

In a raucous state of the union address, president biden sought to reassure americans that at 81, he is ready for a second term..

Biden’s Performance: The president was feisty   and displayed a newly found solemnity and blunt combativeness . Republicans jeered  from their seats. And Democrats enthusiastically cheered their presidential nominee, even as a few aired their grievances about the war in Gaza .

A Contrast With Trump: In his speech, Biden launched a series of fiery attacks  against former President Donald Trump, a competitor whom he did not mention by name but made clear was a dire threat to American democracy  and to  stability in the world .

Middle East Crisis: During the State of the Union, the president announced the construction of a port to deliver aid to Gaza. That decision, as well as the  authorization of aid airdrops  on the territory, raised uncomfortable questions  about America’s role in the war.

Seeking a Tricky Balance: As he spoke to Congress, Biden tried to demonstrate that he could be tough on the border without demonizing immigrants .

A Rare Mention: Biden briefly referenced a topic  that he has often been reluctant to embrace: marijuana. His words could signal a move toward promoting the efforts he has made to liberalize cannabis policy.

Style Choices: Democratic women in suffragist white , Marjorie Taylor Greene in MAGA red. The sartorial statement-making on the congressional floor was clear .
