    #12 - Indigo Traveller (North Korea, Afghanistan, and Extreme Travel Videos)

    Today's episode is a conversation with Nick Fischer (Indigo Traveller). Nick makes travel videos in very unusual and often extreme locations such as North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, and more. His videos sometimes blur the line between travel videos and journalism - though Nick is quick to point out that he isn't a journalist. What he is though is one of the more unique travel channels on YouTube. His work has not only earned Indigo Traveller over 1 million subscribers, but it has also raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charities around the world. We have a lot to get to, so let's get started... here is Episode 12 of The New Travel Podcast, with Indigo Traveller. 0:00 - Intro 0:52 - Conversation Begins 2:00 - Where Indigo Traveller Grew Up 3:28 - Maps Without New Zealand 4:01 - How Indigo Traveller Started YouTube 6:38 - YouTubers Who Inspired Indigo Traveller 9:38 - North Korea 17:24 - Afghanistan 19:48 - Travel YouTuber or Journalist?  21:23 - Money Raised for Afghanistan  22:53 - Somalia 25:58 - India 28:22 - Yemen 31:32 - Finding a Fixer & Travelling Safely 36:49 - Dan’s Morocco Story 38:49 - Travel Can Show You The Truth 40:45 - Does The Media Focus on The Worst of Humanity? 41:47 - Egypt 44:33 - Is Indigo Traveller a Thrill-Seeker?  46:11 - Venezuela  48:26 - “Live and Let Live” 50:10 - Supporting Indigo Traveller’s Work 51:55 - Last Words 52:29 - Outro Watch the newest video from The New Travel: http://bit.ly/Newest-Video-Link Or, check out my "Life in Montreal" playlist for more videos from Montreal: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy6sv6ZuyrMs6HpAs7uAKWMJluZkUmpkB Or, check out my 2nd Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS1RbrMgMas37BD4ELZNCHQ Music by EPIDEMIC SOUND (great for YouTubers), get 30 days free: ► http://bit.ly/dan-epidemic-sound-link
