Video blogging (sometimes called vblogging, or vlogging) is the new(ish) frontier, and while I don’t have a clue how to go about it a whole lot of YouTube users do.

Interested in vlogging on the road, or making short videos about your travels once you’re home? Here are a few videos to get you started:

Matador member Jenny Williams has made videos about her travels in India, South East Asia and Colorado - check them out here.
