HK2NY: Hong Kong to New York - Backpacking Documentary Series (2014)

In this travel documentary, 2 friends, Karl and James quit their regular day jobs and travel the world for 9 months. During this series, the whole journey through 4 different continents is filmed using nothing but a Handycam. This is for me the best travel documentary series on the whole of YouTube. Nothing really compares to the immersive and real feeling that you get whilst watching. Honestly some of the best escapism content out there. I first had the opportunity to watch the series in 2016, and ever since I return and rewatch it every now and then. By now the music feels nostalgic much like the soundtracks of movies like Jurrasic Park and Indiana Jones. The development of these two random British dudes on their journey around the world is one I find to this day one of the best travel series on the whole Internet, unmatched in its combination of providing entertainment, escapism and inspiration. For me an absolute 10/10
