About bald and bankrupt

Bald and Bankrupt is a travel channel run by Benjamin Rich, known for wandering into unusual places, especially in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, and chatting with locals.

Video one

The oldest public video is "I ❤️ India's Policewomen" from June 2018.

The breakthrough

Rich's slow, unscripted walks through towns most tourists never see, and his conversations with the people he meets there, built a big global audience.

Today

Russia was a major focus of the channel, but he was deported and banned from the country in 2022 after openly supporting Ukraine.
