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:

    I am no help on this subject, but find it interesting. Are there any particular channels that you remember as especially ‘good’ that you could recommend?

      I watched some random small travel channels, and videos titled like “Why Vanlife sucks”, which apparently has become its own genre by now. I can’t find any really good ones anymore right now, though :( maybe this topic needs a community! I will post any videos I do find here, though.
