Debrian Travels YouTube channel updated

I had hoped to have completed my review of last year’s fall break trip by now, but I decided I could press pause on that series so I could update my ”Debrian Travels” YouTube channel. “Debrian Travels” on YouTube is not new - it has been linked at the bottom of my homepage for almost a year, and I have added content sporadically in the past. The reason I have focused on the video component of the blog during the past month was prompted by other video content I publish under my overarching Debrian Media banner.

Debrian Media, the overall brand for all my internet media and blog efforts, offers several non-travel video channels including:

These channels trace their roots to a single comprehensive YouTube stream where I uploaded anything I wanted to post to the site. I evolved that original channel into “Brass and Drums” so I could maintain the viewing statistics on my most-watched videos - which were in the marching arts genre - by not moving them to a different channel. I had taken some preliminary steps in recent years to separate out my content into focused channels but that process was incomplete at best. I still had travel and football videos on “Brass and Drums.” When I began vlogging this fall about the current Georgia Tech football season, I realized that I needed to get “Georgia Tech Gameday!” organized as soon as possible. I decided to prioritize my video efforts.

The consolidation of travel content onto “Debrian Travels” at YouTube is now complete. There is still a some organization work that remains (e.g. tweaking playlists) but that may be finished this weekend. The back catalog material pre-dates the Debrian Travels blog and there are more older videos I will add as I have time. Many videos were recorded in Europe but many cover my domestic travels such as the clip below from the historic railroad town of Thurmond, WV.

Thurmond, West Virginia is an historic railroad town in the New River Gorge National River. The CSX line through town and the National River park is an operating rail line. I captured this train, apparently hauling coal (I know...shocking in West Virginia, right?) on a recent visit.

Having a focused channel will better align with the Debrian Travels brand and provide a platform for some additional content I am considering. I urge you to check out “Debrian Travels” on YouTube. Also, if any of my other Debrian Media content piques your interest, I encourage you to check out these non-travel videos. As always, thanks for reading and, hopefully, watching!
