Resources
There are a lot of travel blogs and sites offering travel resources out there. And a lot of well-written, useful ones, at that. Below you’ll find a list of some of my favorites.
If you have a blog or site you’d like added to the list, please let me know!
Travel Blogs
My Favorites
Here are the blogs that I check up on diligently (meaning 3-5 times per week). There’s a great variety here, but that’s what I love best about travel blogging.
2 Backpackers — Aracely & Jason travel the world sharing HD adventure travel videos, HD travel pictures and independent budget backpacking travel tips.
Adventurous Kate — Kate is one of my very favorite bloggers. And she lives up to her name, too. Whether partying it up in Vegas, or riding a motorbike around Thailand, Kate is always up to something fun.
Ali Adventures — Ali has been traveling most of her life, and reached her goal of visiting all 7 continents before turning 30.
Backpacking Matt — Matt’s is one of the first blogs I started reading consistently. At the time, he was in New Zealand, working and traveling. Since then he’s hit up SE Asia, too, always posting interesting stuff.
Bacon is Magic — Ayngelina blogs about travel, food, photography and much much more. Her take on South American culture is always refreshing, and her food posts always have my mouth watering.
Brendan’s Adventures — Brendan is up to some pretty awesome things lately, including a trips to Antarctica and the Galapagos. His photos (of both people and places) are always interesting.
Brooke vs. the World — Brooke refers to herself as “a thrifty traveler and experience collector.” She’s traveled all over the world, and is currently residing in Australia with her partner.
Candice Does the World — Candice has a passion for a lot of things, namely Newfoundland, beer and being hilarious. Okay, maybe I made that last one up. But she is one funny writer, and I love reading her stuff.
Captain and Clark — Tawny and Chris are quickly becoming the travel couple I enjoy following the most. They have a fun sense of humor, which always comes out in their awesome travel videos.
C’est Christine — Christine spent a summer living and working in France, nearly a year living and working Down Under, and now is off to new adventures in Asia. I love reading all about her travels and living as an expat and seeing the gorgeous photos she posts.
Chicky Bus — Hop on board and let Lisa take you off the beaten path. I love the posts she does highlighting the locals in the places she travels.
Don’t Ever Look Back — Amy and Kieron recently completed a RTW trip that took them from North America to Thailand. They are one of my favorite travel couples to follow.
Finding the Universe — Laurence is a great writer, and a great photographer. After completing a working holiday in New Zealand, he’s now living in France.
GlobetrotterGirls — Dani and Jess are an awesome couple who have been traveling the world together since April 2010.
Go, See, Write — Michael is hilarious, and his writing is fun to read. If you’re looking for a blogger who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is, check this site out.
Grounded Traveler — Andrew is currently living abroad as an expat in Germany, and it’s always interesting to read about travel from his perspective.
Hecktic Travels — Pete and Dalene are currently traveling and housesitting their way around the world. I love their photos and the very honest and real way they write their posts. One of my favorite travel blogs!
Jack and Jill Travel the World — Jack and Jill are currently on a RTW trip, and running a pretty awesome blog at the same time.
Johnny Vagabond — Wes is on a budget trip around the world, “traveling cheap, taking pics and telling lies,” as he says. He’s also producing some awesome travel content, including humorous stories and stunning photographs from all over the world.
Land Lopers — Matt is out to experience the world on a budget, but not neccessarily as a backpacker. His posts are always well-written, and usually make me think.
Lauren’s Road Less Traveled — After living a studying abroad a couple of times, Lauren has now settled in D.C. for the time being.
Maiden Voyage — Emily writes about travel for the 20-something adventurer (or others young at heart), with a goal of inspiring people to get out and see the world.
My Beautiful Adventures — Andi blows me away when it comes to the travel experiences she’s had. She’s a Chinese medicine doctor who also has a love affair with South America, and her travel philosophy is, indeed, beautiful.
Nomadderwhere — Lindsay was my very first travel inspiration. She’s studied abroad and at sea, and I started following her when she was chosen as an STA World Traveler Intern. Since then, she got hired at ProjectExplorer to help produce video content. She just proves to me that, if you work hard enough, anything is possible.
Nomadic Samuel – Miles away from ordinary, dripping with sarcasm. A travel blog which features both daily travel photos and videos, along with interviews, photography tips and quirky stories.
No Place to Be — Poi and Kirsty are in the middle of an exciting round-the-world journey together. The English couple has so far had adventures all across Asia, and I love reading their very conversational posts and reviews.
Over Yonderlust — Shaun and Erica are childhood sweethearts traveling the world the same way they’ve traveled through life: no regrets, no missed opportunities and no rock unturned. I love their spirit, and their blog.
Suzy Guese — Suzy just finished up living in Italy for a summer, and constantly delights readers with insightful, thoughtful posts on all sorts of travel-related topics. Another of my favorite bloggers.
Technosyncratic — Christy and Kali have a blogging style that I love. They are candid and funny, and take some lovely photos, too!
The Aussie Nomad — The title of Chris’ blog really says it all — he’s an Australian currently traveling the world, and usually has some good stories to tell.
The Planet D — Dave and Deb are a couple seeking adventure around the world. They put out some great content, and some even better photos.
The Roamantics — First of all, how can you not love a blog with such a creative name? Lorna backs up her blog title with travel stories and tips from around the world that I always look forward to reading. She’s on a U.S. roadtrip now in her Chinook, and will set off around the world next year.
The Runaway Guide — Leif ran away from home at age 16 without a penny to his name, and has been traveling the world ever since. This guy has some amazing stories to tell.
Todd’s Wanderings — Todd’s great site offers up “ A Molotov Cocktail of Curiosity, Compromising Situations and a Life Less Ordinary.” If that description doesn’t make you interested, I don’t know what will.
Traveling Canucks – Their blog name really says it all — Cameron and Nicole are two Canadians traveling the world, writing about their adventures traveling as an adventurous couple.
Traveling Savage – Keith is my kind of traveler — he travels a few weeks at a time here and there. He also has an affinity with Scotland. And he’s a fantastic writer and storyteller.
Travels of Adam — A few years ago, this graphic designer from Boston decided to trade in the traditional American dream for a life of travel. He’s currently living and working in Berlin.
Twenty-Something Travel — I’ve followed Steph for a long time. I watched as she scrimped and saved for months, before embarking upon a RTW trip, which has now turned into a permanent nomadic life. I love her site, her writing style, and her attitude toward travel.
Wandering Earl — Earl is a really great blogger, and an even better writer. He’s been traveling for the past 10 years, and has some seriously amazing stories to tell.
Where is Jenny? — It’s Jenny’s goal to become a location-independent minimalist. She packed up and sold off her life so that she can travel the world indefinitely, skateboarding, exploring and designing as she goes. She’s so inspiring, and definitely a blogger to watch.
y Travel Blog — Caz and Craig are swiftly becoming a force to be reckoned with in the travel blogosphere. They’ve made travel the focus of their lives, and are always writing thoughtful, informative and entertaining posts about all corners of the world.
