Indigo Traveller is a great channel who goes to less-travelled parts of the world to shed light on how people live in less fortunate parts of the world.

I love how he is able to cut through politics and other perspectives to show the human element of the situation of the people on the ground of the places he visits. It’s refreshing, and haunting, to see the day-to-day struggles of the people interviewed.

I wish that more media was cognizant of the individual struggles of those presented within his videos, and that they would talk about ways to assist the countries and people that are highlighted in Indigo Traveller’s travels.

    If you’ve ever watched one of his videos, you’ll see that his content is not really described as “slum tourism”.

    I was born in India, I know what slums look like. Never dealt with slum tourists, but still. This doesn’t strike me as that

      I’ve spent 10 months in India, over two trips. Absolute favorite and least favorite country, depending on how my stomach felt. What part are you from?

        Tenali, Andhra Pradesh

        Edit: also I 100% know what you mean about most favorite and least favorite country

        Maybe you can sample some Hyderabad chicken Biryani one day. It’s really fucking tasty.

        Altho Hyderabad isn’t technically part of Andhra Pradesh anymore. Long story, has to do with local politics…

        Food is hella bomb regardless

          Missed that area. It was getting really hot and I think I took a train from Tirumula or Pondicherry straight to Puri. Is the chicken biryani there much different than other places?
