10 Travel Blogs to Follow and Why

Are you looking to start a travel blog but need some inspiration?

Are you looking to book a trip but need some inspo, tips and tricks?

Either way, in addition to my own, these 10 blogs will help you out.

Happy blogging; happy traveling.

1. The Blonde Abroad is a blog I appreciate because I am one of very few young women who have had the confidence to Travel Solo. It takes a lot of courage to get on the plane knowing you won’t be meeting your best friend when you land. It takes a lot of effort to step out of your comfort zone to make the lasting friendships that come from traveling solo. The Blonde Abroad does a fantastic job providing resources to young women looking to travel solo, in an aesthetically pleasing way.
2. The Poor Traveler provides a very detailed, budget friendly guide to traveling the world. However, the blog isn’t just a guide to help readers navigate budget, “poor” also depicts misfortune. The blogger duo is looking to help their audience avoid some first timer mistakes. If the shoe fits, wear it.
3. Dan Flying Solo is an inspiring blog sharing the story of a career change: corporate world turned blogger. If you dream of traveling the world as a full time job, this blog will captivate you!
4. A Broken Backpack caught my attention because Mel is Canadian and a Social Worker. I have family in Canada and my mom is a Social Worker. If you enjoy no filter, Mel is your girl!
5. The Blog Abroad has inspired my own thoughts about changes I would like to make to my blog to channel more of my personality in things like the “About Me” section. With the paragraph, “For those who don’t know me personally,  there’s still time to bail, I just want to welcome you into my world. I’m not your everyday travel blogger. I’m awkward. I’m sassy. And I sound like Beyonce in the shower. Hold your jealousy,” you can’t go wrong following Gloria for all of your travel blog inspo!
6. My Life’s A Movie caught my eye because of the bright photos and graphics on the Home Page, including the map with all of the countries visited. Alyssa’s blog will certainly influence the design of my own blog. Maybe she is the perfect inspiration for you too!
7. Travel Break is clean, sleek and high quality having been featured on The Huffington Post, CNN, Forbes and several other Media Sources. Great inspiration for serious travel bloggers.
8. Backpacker Banter is an all encompassing travel blog. From photos proving the beauty of a place to a guide to travel in Australia, Chris is a Brit looking to inspire others to see the world for themselves. Chris, like The Poor Traveler, has a section on budget, including his yearly spending.
9. Nomadic Boys is a guide to gay travel! I love this blog because I imagine it being difficult to navigate traveling as a gay couple with different cultural norms around the world. Such an insightful blog, thank you Nomadic Boys!
10. A Dangerous Business Travel Blog caught my eye because Amanda is a former journalist and I studied Journalism in my undergraduate career. I love that she emphasizes fitting travel into your existing lifestyle because that is exactly what I do in my own life! If you are looking to find a way to travel more, but have a busy life, Amanda is your girl!
