The Rustic Wanderer | Solo Travel

For the new faces, here is a little (re-) intro: I am a solo traveler and a Martial artist who loves spontaneous budget travel, outdoors and food. Tell me a cool fact about yourself (funnier the better) 👇 youtube.com/c/TheRusticWan…

I have been doing the pan India Solo ride for a while now. 160+ episodes later, I'll be undertaking the Delhi -> Kanyakumari ride. Any travel brands up to collab and sponsor upcoming episodes of the travel series on YT, pls do connect. Limited brand integration slots available.

Just 5 subscribers away from hitting 1200 sub mark. If you love travel content, consider supporting. Currently touring India as a local.

@DirectionallyCT Oh yeah plenty. Been to some in India, Mexico and Japan during my recent travels.

Weekly Travel Talk Time! Have you ever visited a UNESCO World Heritage Site? Which one?

Been a bit quiet over here as I've been consistently growing my YT vlog channel. Just hit 1K subscriber target and June is off to a great start 🚀#travel

@Richard_Hazell_ Great food with huge portions, budget-friendly and then siesta immediately after

What's one thing you think about when you think of Spain?

@TheFearlessFor1 Is that an OS version issue or more of a memory issue when you say its old and wont let you download? For the latter, RAM upgrade could be an option

If my mac isn't letting me open/download an application because it is too old, there isn't any work arounds for that other than getting a new laptop, right?

@vidIQ shorts- publish when ready, vlogs-scheduled

Do you schedule your YouTube videos or publish them as soon as they are processed?

@EmeseMaczko Yeup. During my time in Mexico, I deliberately avoided resorts, Tulum and Cenotes for this very reason. Spent a whole lot of time in Oaxaca instead. Did couple collabs with local businesses, walked around, saw a triathlon and swam in open waters.

Have you visited a city/country for the VERY FIRST time but intentionally avoided the most popular attractions? What was your reason? What did you see instead? Did you regret it? #journorequest #forbes

@Richard_Hazell_ Oh I can imagine. Sunshine loading.....

@rusticwanderer It's rough here especially out in the countryside the roads are so dangerous. Bring on the summer

It's -5 outside this morning 🥶

@lonelyplanet Continuing with my pan India tour- The India Darshan wherein I am slow (solo) traveling through all States and UTs of India. Starting to head down South now.

What's your FIRST TRIP of 2025???

@mws 835

how many subs on YouTube are you ending 2024 with?

@vidIQ documenting my memories and sharing the good and the bad with others so they can prepare accordingly

What's your main motivation for creating YouTube videos?

Normally when people do the India tour, they like to print the route plan as a decal be it on their ride or t-shirts. I didn't do anything like that for my tour and someone asked me why. As a spontaneous traveler, I don't have a route, I live for experiences and go with flow 😁

@vidIQ This is one of the few vlogs that is bringing in views consistently to my channel- The Rustic Wanderer

What was your most viewed video this year?

@vidIQ Slow and steady I suppose

How many YouTube subscribers have you gained in 2024?

As a seasoned spontaneous solo traveler, sometimes I wonder over coffee, if I end up with someone who loves to plan trips, like meticulously by the minute, one of us is gonna be super mad thereafter. No?😂

@JugniGhumakad Have a great time there. I just got back and miss the food and the ghats already.

Next destination 🤩 #Banaras

@Karai_Dan oh there is plenty, even in the street food scene like karaage or even Yakisoba. Tasty for sure but oily. They do walk a lot so maybe that helps

Americans who have never been to Japan: “Japan doesn’t have junk food and that’s why they’re so thin.” Japanese 7-11: “Our new item is a butter croissant covered in a chocolate filled cookie.”

I was so mad at a photographer at the Taj Mahal. They made a racist comment about NE indian couple being "Indian" and not "Japanese" otherwise their "bro" would have charged them tourist price of 100 Rs per pic. He had a smile on his face for saving them money🤦‍♂️
