Travel & Outdoors

Probably all people like to travel. Even the most desperate couch potatoes sooner or later come up with the thought "I wish I could take a vacation from work and give up somewhere to Ireland!" But the reality is that in most cases Ireland can only be admired in photographs on the Internet.

Moreover, even admiring photographs from other people's vacations, we show some kind of selectivity. Watching a work colleague go to a four-star Turkish hotel with "all inclusive" and other animators is just such a thing. Admiring well-staged, produced and directed travel shows is a completely different matter.

The Travel & Outdoors section on Twitch combines the virtues of both of these approaches to showcasing new places and wondrous countries. On the one hand, as a rule, they show something interesting and unusual, and not banal beaches with the arrangement of palm trees neatly verified by merchandisers. On the other hand, in such streams there is some kind of "humanity", they demonstrate the personality traits and character of the "presenter", his opinion and attitude.

Therefore, if you want to look at the world outside the window, but at the same time there is no desire to get out of the apartment, you can open the Travel & Outdoors section on Twitch.

Travel without leaving home

Why do we love travel shows? Well, first, you can look at the beauty and customs of other countries. To see some kind of non-standard architecture, strikingly different from the five-story buildings, or, on the contrary, incredibly similar to the usual "panels", like housing "civil class" in Italy. Admire mountains, seas, valleys and parks with trees that are not at all like those that waving branches outside the window. Look at exotic food, which, even with all the desire, will not be able to buy in a nearby cafe, and if it does ... well, it will be about the same to authenticity as Olivier rolls to Japanese cuisine and French salads.

And secondly, we are pleased to look at the charismatic presenters and their witty stories about foreign culture. These are not dozens of similar photographs of a colleague that he brought back from vacation - “I am against the background of a building”, “I am against the background of another building”, “Palma”, “Oh, this cocktail was very tasty”, “To be honest, I already and I don’t remember who exactly lived in this palace, but someone very great ”... This is interestingly presented content, diluted with jokes and some kind of interactivity.

The Travel & Outdoors section on Twitch, of course, rarely offers full travel shows. But by watching videos and streams from it, you can plunge into the atmosphere of another country as tourists and locals see it. Perhaps, move away from the paved routes and see something much more unusual than the Blue Stone, which is under Pereslavl-Zalessky (the spoiler is just a stone and it is just blue, but you have to pay 50 rubles to admire it). See the narrow streets of European cities and the wide avenues of metropolitan areas, plunge into the fast life of the capitals or calmly observe the provincial everyday life, look at tiny flea markets and attractions that no casual tourist will get to, because they are not in a guidebook ...

Places and Genres in Travel & Outdoors

It is clear that it is impossible to predict where the streams will come from in the Travel & Outdoors section on Twitch. The audience of this service is spread all over the world. And therefore, streams are conducted from different parts of our planet with you.

However, the most popular genres in travel and outing streaming are:

• Live broadcasts from a camera mounted on the windshield of a car. You can admire the road together with a trucker who drives along it and carries loads somewhere. It is very relaxing;
• Cameras installed in forests and national parks. If you're very lucky, you can see an animal walking during the stream. And in some broadcasts, an interesting donation mechanism is installed - for each donation, a little food is poured into the feeder for animals and birds. By the way, these streams are a real freedom for birdwatching fans;
• Fishing and other outdoor activities. You can not only admire the nature, but also ask for advice.

Of course, if one of the streamers decides to go on a trip and start broadcasting from there, then it will also go to the Travel & Outdoors section.

Chat in the Travel & Outdoors section

Like other sections of Twitch, Travel & Outdoors has a chat. In it, you can ask questions to the streamer or discuss some points with other viewers.

It's worth noting that - for obvious reasons - in most cases, streamers rarely answer questions. They are a little busy. And if we are talking about broadcasting from a camera in a forest or near a bird's nest, then there is no streamer as such.
