If you're in London, try Jago Hazzard. "Tales from the Tube" and other odd stories about London.

Even if you're not in London, it's fascinating.

Fabulous! Am currently in hospital, so keep them coming!

My list:
Wildbeare I think already mentioned and sintax77 hiking in the US Also 2feetforward - hiking, but they've been quiet for a while
The Positano diaries - expat and her Italian partner living the dream
My basic journey-us van life
Divorced and living alone in Japan - like Nami - but with less fiddly cooking and 2 gorgeous cats
Linna in Japan - life with a family in - I think - Yokohama
More flight attrndants: guy who flies, Steven Perrera (would guess you will love or hate - lots of thrifting and cats too), Sophie Fay mentioned above is Sophie Fay Hart, and an Australian called Breanna Young.

It is rumoured that I have a life spent not watching YT. ...

I came on to say MrBallen but I see someone beat me to it.

I also enjoy Observe (body language expert), Bailey Sarian (true crime + makeup) and Buzzfeed Unsolved.

Yorkshireman in China. I first discovered him when he was on the phone to James O'Brien during the pandemic giving a fascinating account of what pandemic life was like over there. He came back during the pandemic, but has now returned. Quite a character.

Rick Steves does great travel videos. My late mum was a fan (in her 90s!)

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 15/06/2023 19:08

Depends what history you like but do like Facinating Horror...all about diasters.
Some disasters he talks about avoidable but majority of them are just daft and others so tragic and didn't need to have happened!

Northernsouloldies · 15/06/2023 19:34

Bricomalingo, best Northern soul channel, this persons record collection must literally be worth tens of thousands of pounds.

4plusthehound · 15/06/2023 19:56

Wow!

I watch The Middle Sized Garden. She was recomended by a Mumsnetter on the gardening section. I watch her all the time now, she saved me a fortune and helped me learn so much about gardening.

I've just discovered The Museum Guide on youtube, and thought back to this thread.

35andThriving · 29/10/2023 19:18

She's a Canadian that goes around Museums and art galleries explaining the pictures and artefacts.

Travel - trek trendy

Relaxing lifestyle - namis life

Small homes - living big in a tiny home, never too small

Welsh twins for pure chaos (separately they are a makeup artist and skincare YouTuber, together they're chaotic twins)

I love Never Too Small! Lots of beautifully designed small homes, it's so pleasing to see people living so efficiently

If you're in London, try Jago Hazzard. "Tales from the Tube" and other odd stories about London.

By complete coincidence, I found his channel today. Really enjoying it.

I love watching Luxeria’s reaction videos.

Very educational - I’m always cutting her off mid-sentence to google stuff.

A very articulate and intellectual lady.

And her friend Roly has his own channel and is funny AF.
