Treks latest slog Is bore fest, he's on a train crossing Australia , sharing a room with Mummy! In one part he does some weird promotion, wearing a cowboy hat that comes across as unnerving! He's acting is really odd and it looks like the footage is speeded up???? Is it me is there something strange about the way he's acting?

He's doing ads now?

Did you hear about the situation Josh Cahill got into with an airline after posting one of his exaggerated scathing reviews?

Crazy: Travel Vlogger Doxxed By Airline After Negative Review - Live and Let's Fly

Popular travel vlogger Josh Cahill was doxxed by Aero Dili after a negative review. There's no defense for such unethical retribution.

The airline shouldn't have released his passport, but these vloggers are making money at (sometimes) other people's and companies expense. There is an element of he had it coming.

And shoving cameras in staff members faces is never OK. In any situation

His behaviour is regularly entitled and dramatic for views. It's a bit of karma.

That blog has a great name, but the tone of the article has put me off reading them again lol

He seems to have unprivated a load of old videos, I swear anything pre pandemic wasn't on his channel for a while

Anyway, one of them is his intro to the channel. So he looks like he was aiming to be another 'how to do luxury travel on the cheap' website and channel. Which makes his channel name even weirder as it doesn't make sense for luxury travel, or luxury on the cheap.



Also, it's been a couple months since a video hit over a million. That's like a 50% drop or more in earnings if it continues. Curious if he has invested his earnings wisely or what his back up plan is. To just rely on youtube ad revenue seems risky

ANOTHER Orient Express video?!

I continue to marvel at how baffling his presentation style is; I feel like I’m watching a show on luxury travel aimed at children which makes no sense IMO.

Also, give Millie an Oscar for at least trying to feign SOME amount of shock for being on another Orient Express adventure!

The way he speaks on this video really irritated me, I hate how he speaks and delivers sentences

Did anyone else catch the "caviar bump" he did in the latest video? You're a mid 30s man on a Disney cruise ffs, why are you pretending to snort a line of coke in a restaurant? It was really out of place and childish. Millie looked like she was dying inside.

I can't imagine him doing any drug, but I guess he would pretend he does coke soley because it's called the rich man's drug. He always looks so alien whenever he tries to be relatable, makes me kind of feel bad for him.

What’s the time stamp for this?

He must be concierge as he was leaving Palo brunch and the only way to book it was to either have status with DCL (which he doesn’t have) or be concierge.

I don't want to come across as too harsh but I'd be very surprised if any of these more popular luxury vloggers actually follow that "pay for own flights for honest reviews" moto. It seems like a job where negative reviews would damage earning potential and it probably takes a fair amount of grifting/ networking to get access to interesting contenting opportunities that would draw views (inaugural takeoffs etc). The only one that maybe could be living this motto is Josh Cahill as he isn't afraid to get into trouble criticising airlines but even then I wouldn't bank on it entirely. I've seen a few of these channels even take potshots at Sam Chui for being a shill, which would be fair enough, yet he's appeared on most of these channels at some point.

Then you have channels, like Nonstopdan, where they seem to be happy enough to travel to and from anti-LGBT+ countries like Saudi Arabia. That seems morally a bit iffy to me. Or TrekTrendy doing an around the world trip in first class for no real purpose while we're being told to behave as sustainable as possible.

Hmm I do believe he does pay for his. He has been quite critical in some videos, nd had the odd tantrum. With how often he flies, and at such premiums he would earn the air miles and his views would give him the income. But I do wonder if his face is known so they make sure he gets good treatment.

His morals are very questionable. Unnecessary travel during the pandemic and then bitching about things not being as normal, flying a private jet to Antarctica, ridiculous unnecessary carbon footprint.
