Selfish plug of my own channel:

In the travel space right now, my favourite folks are The Budgeteers. They started with a really unique consept of just going on a trip and travelling until the money runs out. They couchsurf, hitchhike - all things I've done in the past and I can tell these guys are the real deal. And they don't shy away from the unpleasant moments too. It's a nice change over artificially positive travel

Vlog wise, I really like the production value of Michael Aranda. I don't think many people put in the thought to videography and sound design to regular vlogs the way he does: https://www.youtube.com/user/WhatImDoingRightNow

Special Mention to Jamie Mantzel. He's definitely misguided in a lot of his opinions, but I love just watching him build stuff. He has really ingenious solutions to problems, and it's crazy how much he can do with the minimum of tools. He moved to Panama and is building up his island right now:

It's some serious off the grid shit.
