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:

    This might not be what you’re looking for, but this couple kind of hits that spot for me.

    Truthfully, I find them very charming, but they often make huge mistakes or risky gambles that backfire. It’s always a bit dire when the things go wrong because it’s obvious they’re not wealthy.

    One such example is when they left a property that they had spent years renovating only to move to Florida (a place they know nothing out) and bought a low-lying property that floods 2ft during the rainy season.

    Here’s that video: https://youtu.be/c0QNHFE5LkI?feature=shared

    I would say the Florida saga starts at this next video and continues on for a couple of years: https://youtu.be/lkkZDUp7fq4?feature=shared
