Malini Angelica, Travel Vlogger & TV Presenter

Even though the reason for embarking on a voyage is profoundly personal, the desire to travel is universal. Travel allows some type of escape—from careers, relationships, or simply the stresses of daily life—and many people need it sorely on this account.

The year 2020’s brief periods of forced sedentariness give power to this sort of travel motives, as it’s quite painful to see our passports relegated to the role of coasters or stabilizers for wobbly tables.

But it’s certainly not the sole purpose why people pursue traveling! Few might travel to find some kind of legitimacy in becoming a part of a community that celebrates ❝Holidays❞ as the symbol of the good life.  

And then comes the few fortunate whose work allows them to travel the world, and in that sliver demographic lies the luminaries whose work is to travel the world, more familiar as Travel Vloggers.

The appeal and fascination associated with Travel vlogging are so pronounced that the difficulties and tricky elements that go into such a profession are often overlooked! 

It’s not just documenting travels on YouTube and Instagram or recounting the experiences of the people they meet. The veterans consider themselves a trustworthy guide for countless aspiring travelers to sort the genius from the strokes of luck.

Travel vlogging is not a tangible affair one can draft a review about. Travel vloggers are artists who drip-fed, through our devices, the emotion that a destination embodies.

Permeable to what is around them while developing a visual palette, they have been to far more places than they show. Keep their preferences private from deciding what belongs in the video.

Balancing all these aspects while contending with the typical frustrations of travel—from transportation and accommodations to health and safety.

Malini Angelica, a flourishing facet of such a rarified group of travelers, never shied away from taking things even further.

What remains somewhat obscure is the fact that Malini’s upbringing, background, and choices in her education and professional journey have shaped the passion and love she puts into her work.

Angelica’s proficiency in different vocabularies wasn’t an accident per se either, especially Spanish, which she has well-versed in Barcelona as part of her degree in English literature, Spanish, and Portuguese at the University.

While her job as an auditor has allowed her to explore various parts of the globe, the push from the pandemic inspired her to shift from being just a traveler to becoming a travel vlogger.

Since then, Malini’s role as a TV Presenter and YouTuber has taken her to Japan, Italy, and the USA (to name a few), and a brief scan of her YouTube channel quickly dispels the notion that change isn’t bad at all. 

Although we love to see her strolling through curious neighborhoods and savoring local cuisine, it’s the soothing voice-over, that typically starts her videos and outlines the location, which sets the tone. My absolute favorite is the one about ❝Barcelona.❞

In the blizzard of more arduous tasks, the clothing that Travel Vloggers don is often picked with the most modest consideration. They might be living out of a suitcase but couldn’t leave the costume of their character.

Malini contradicts here as well! She aligns her styling choices with the mood and what resonates with the locals and location. It’s not thoroughly pristine to see travelers dressing like townies, but their exertions are often visible.

On the contrary, Malini dresses in regional clothes so sprezzatura-ly that it seems so natural that it is hard to foresee that she’s putting a lot of thought into that.

So, of course, she can’t put on the shirt fibbing on the top of the pile or the first pair of shoes she can find. Let’s see if we might be lucky enough to glimpse her dressing concepts amidst her busy timetable.
