The slowest traveller

If Bruno Maltor is one of the most followed travel influencers today, it is above all thanks to his audacity. Indeed, while TF1 offered him a permanent contract, ensuring him a comfortable future, the young Auvergne native preferred to live off his passion by creating his blog Votre Tour du Monde. It was a risky gamble, but it paid off since it is now a reference for all travellers. His thing is slow travel: taking his time and soaking up the culture of the countries he visits. His authenticity is also highly appreciated by his community. Because if the blogger obviously shares his good plans, he never forgets to mention his problems.

The most don't go

After graduating from a business school and starting a career in digital marketing, Benjamin Martinie gave up everything to film his travels. Like most travel influencers, Tolt has already had the chance to travel around the world. But his particularity is to highlight unusual destinations. This series of videos he calls Don't Go and has fun contrasting what he sees with his own eyes with the prejudices people may have. It's enough to arouse curiosity and today he has 167,000 subscribers on YouTube.

The most artistic

Jonathan Bertin is without doubt one of the most talented travel influencers.

With her motto "travel while having fun", she takes her subscribers on adventures that are as funny as they are exciting. One of her latest videos "I'm getting married to a stranger in Las Vegas" is a perfect example.

The most "dream sellers

Bestjobers is Elisa and Max, two travel influencers for whom the adventure began in 2013. Elisa won the "Best job in the world" competition and the couple flew to Australia. For a year she was paid to write about her trip on the web. It was hard to imagine a return to "normal" life.

Although they almost put an end to their escapades in 2016, the YouTubers / Instagrammers could not resist the call of the road and continue to live their nomadic dream.
