About The Poor Traveler®
The Poor Traveler started in April 2011 and is run by Filipino duo Vins and Yosh. The channel has grown to about 279 thousand subscribers and more than 25.9 million views across 478 videos. They publish frequent, practical travel content including city and region guides, day trip and road trip itineraries, hotel and cruise reviews, and flight and visa advice. Videos cover the Philippines and nearby destinations such as Taiwan, Thailand, Korea, Japan and Australia, often presented as informative vlogs and step by step planning guides.
A hands on Filipino travel resource, this channel excels at trip planning and realistic cost details. We like their mix of itinerary videos, hotel and cruise walk throughs, and quick mistake lists that save time and money. A standout is their Tagaytay attractions video and the popular Top 10 Best Beaches in Batangas, both clear examples of useful, watchable local guides. Uploads are steady at roughly six videos a month, so we can usually find fresh destination advice, hotel tests or visa tips whenever we are planning a short trip or a longer itinerary.
They also write a travel blog: The Poor Traveler®.
