Bald and Bankrupt

Bald and Bankrupt

Bald and Bankrupt is a popular British travel vlogger whose real name is Benjamin Rich. He became well-known for visiting unusual and often forgotten places, especially in post-Soviet countries. His videos stand out because he focuses on real, everyday life rather than tourist hotspots. He speaks Russian fluently, which allows him to connect easily with locals across Eastern Europe and Central Asia. His adventures have taken him to countries like India, Belarus, Armenia, and even Turkmenistan. With just a backpack and a camera, he travels simply and avoids luxury or guided tours. His bold and humorous personality often leads to interesting, sometimes risky encounters. Despite facing a few legal issues during his travels, he remains dedicated to showing the world as it really is. His unique style has earned him millions of subscribers on YouTube. Many fans appreciate his fearless attitude and the honest way he presents different cultures.
