So during COVID lockdowns I developed this guilty pleasure of watching YouTubers having miserable times, in the best case vanlife YouTubers.
I’m feeling the old itch, can you help me? Do you know any videos of people on travel channels having really, really bad times?
I prefer vanlife people, followed by boatlife people. But I’m open to different modes of transport. The more privileged the people and the more miserable their travels, the better.
Edit: so I will give you guys something at least, can’t find any of the random small stuff I watched years ago atm. The channel vagrant holiday maybe doesn’t quite fulfill the criteria, because the guy is doing everything consciously, but it’s a fantastic channel, and there definitely is discomfort:

I assume you have heard of An idiot abroad?
It’s a comedy, I think a lot of the misery is acted, but fun nonetheless.
Yes, that might have been an early start into the genre for me! I fiercely love Karl Pilkington 🥲
That guy is such a fecker, intentionally going around being a tosser wherever he goes and trying to give us all a basld name. God, I can’t stand that pillock :-(
He’s absolutely hilarious. If you take Karl Pilkington seriously, it’s you that’s the problem.
Btw, Borat is a character.
But everybody likes that type of humor.
