Travel + Learn.

Hi, my name is Matthias, I'm a journalist from Germany. Here on my YouTube channel I try to combine my journalistic work with the joy of solo traveling.

My „Travel & Learn“ series tells the story behind the places and countries I‘m traveling. It‘s about the little things along the road that nobody would ever notice - and about the questions you didn‘t know you needed answered.

Do you remember my video about the Swedish city of Kiruna? The town center is being completely relocated to make way for iron ore mining. Several historic buildings are also being moved to the new site.

A little service note: Tomorrow you can follow the relocation of the historic church in a livestream. It starts at 7:30 a.m. (CET):

At first glance, Büsingen looks like a normal German village. But it’s not. Because it’s located in Switzerland. WTF? Check out my new video here:

Do I have any viewers from Canada? I would love to visit your beautiful country and cover some interesting topics: unusual places, fascinating stories from history, cultural highlights, or conflicts.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should explore? If you prefer not to comment publicly, feel free to send me an email at english@matthias-schwarzer.de

I look forward to your messages! 🇨🇦

The small town of Kiruna in Sweden is doomed – all the shops in the town centre are empty. Why? The town stands in the way of an ore mine and is therefore being demolished and relocated. Find out more in my new video:

In the series "The Last of Us," the characters Bill and Frank live happily together in an abandoned village. This village also existed in reality—but today it has completely disappeared. What happened?

You can see part 2 of my "The Last of Us" location tour in Canada now on my second channel ‪@film.safari‬ 🙂

Sillamäe in Estonia looks like a charming garden town, doesn’t it? But what you can’t tell from these pictures: the town was closed off and top secret for decades. Why? Find out in my new video:

Today, the second season of "The Last of Us" is starting! And since just watching shows isn’t enough for me, I visited the filming locations of Season 1 in Canada. Now live on my channel ‪@film.safari‬
