YouTube Spotlight: Travel Vlogs and Guides (2017 Edition)



Recently I have been watching tons of travel vlogs, guides, etc. for personal research. Whether you want to travel and don't know where to start, or you want to live vicariously through other travelers, these videos are for you.


  1. How to Travel Guide by HeyNadine- This comprehensive how-to guide goes over all of the basics of planning to travel. From where to travel to how to budget, this playlist has been very helpful to me. Not only that, but Nadine approaches this guide with such a kind and comforting tone. If you want to travel but have your doubts, this series will clear up much of your hesitation.
  2. How to Save Money for Travel with HeyNadine and Kristen Sarah- Travel cost is one of the most intimidating aspects of travel. If you want to travel but don't know how to save enough money, this video includes a variety of tips to help you out. This video is also a collab between several vloggers, giving their unique perspectives.
  3. Travel Vlogs by Haus of Color- There are a variety of travel vlogs available to watch; this series I enjoy because of its host and editing. These videos are well-edited for a quick, clean viewing. The vlogger is also extremely friendly and makes me feel like "I can do this too!". Perfect vlog series for beginner travelers.
  4. How to Deal with Long Flights by Kristen Sarah- This video's a short one, but it has a variety of helpful hints for flying. The tip about wiping down the tray and elbow rests on the plane (preventing illness) is definitely a must! I also recommend this video by HeyNadine, also about air travel.
  5. EuroTrip Vlogs with Kristen Sarah-Kristen's vlogs really showcase what I love about vlogs. They are fast paced, full of little random treasures, and backed up by an amazing personality. Her humor makes her blogs fun to watch.
  6. Travel Vlogs with HeyNadine- As you can tell by my list, I really enjoy HeyNadine's videos. Her vlogs are no exception; she shares her own unique experiences, making you want to pack your bags and bounce!
  7. Abandoned Sites Travel Vlogs (Exploring with Josh)- If you are looking for a more creepy look at other countries' history, I recommend this series. Now this may not be everyone's cup of tea, for ethical or preference reasons, but it is a series I enjoy and wanted to share. Watching with the lights out is a must.
  8. Travel Vlogs with RayaWasHere- Like Haus of Color, Raya's vlogs are great to watch for the beginner traveler. After watching her videos, I feel empowered to travel.
  9. Carry-on Packing Tips with KittyCotten- This video is great for the organized traveler or packer in training. Everyone packs differently, but this video is a fresh look and method for packing.
  10. Travelling with Kids Vlogs with Amber Fillerup- Most of the travelers showcased on this list travel solo or with other adults. If you are looking to travel with family, this vlog will be more relatable for you. Featuring Amber and her two adorable kids, going on adventures to international destinations. Hey, anything is possible, and these videos are #familygoals!

Thank you for reading! What are some of your favorite travel YouTubers or videos? What types of videos would you like me to showcase next? Let's talk in the comments below.

Pre-k Stranger Danger Circle and Activity

Your preschoolers may know how many legs an ant has, how to use a pipette, and how to count to ten, but do they know how to stay safe around strangers? It is such an important lesson, yet not all children are exposed to it. It is also a difficult subject for us adults to talk about, but there are ways to introduce "stranger danger" skills without scaring young children. To get you started, below are a couple ideas for a stranger danger unit. Intro to Stranger Danger Circle Transition in- For our transition in, we started with a finger play to get children settled. Before our story, I introduced the question "What is a Stranger?". As I had anticipated, children guessed that a stranger was a bad guy; they described strangers as being burglars, people who take kids, and bad guys. Body- For the bulk of this circle, I chose to read a book from my childhood, which is "The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers". This story is about young sister bear lea

How to Collage with Inkscape

Greetings! Today I wanted to share a method I use for creating artwork...one that is quick, easy, and somewhat addicting. Creating collage using a digital program may seem daunting, but it's actually a really easy way to make art, especially if you're not as gifted in the whole technical aspect. For today I am using Inkscape, which at this time is a free program that can be downloaded (you can get it from their official website: https://inkscape.org/en/download/). Keep in mind the techniques I'm using today are somewhat advanced and although I will try to walk through it as simply as possible, you may also consider experimenting and becoming more familiar with Inkscape if you are a first time user before attempting this tutorial. The first step for any type of collage-making is to collect materials for collage. Doing this digitally is easy, since there are so many great images on the internet. Google images is great for getting images if you know what specifically you&

Thoughts on Week of the Young Child 2017

Next week starting April 24th is Week of the Young Child 2017 (WOTYC), which celebrates young children, parents, and educators. In preparation for this time, I have been thinking about how I want to share this event with you. The most obvious idea seemed to be sharing activity ideas based on the curriculum themes for each day. As I sat down to write up activity plans, I kept thinking there was something bigger I wanted to say. Taking things back a step, I focused on the event itself. Why do we have Week of the Young Child, when the suggested themes and ideas should be celebrated all year long? The most important reason is awareness...children are important! With a special time of year for everything, from puppies to ice cream sundaes, it can be difficult to take these celebrations seriously. But some are more important than others. No matter how little experience you have with kids, we all have important reasons to care, to educate ourselves, and to be better. During our first
