1. Nomadic Matt

Nomadic Matt

By:  Matthew Kepnes

I have to be honest with you — I love everything about  Nomadic Matt .  

Everything from his website’s design to his personal writing voice makes for an engaging reading experience. Not to mention that the name “Nomadic Matt” really sticks with me. 

Matthew Kepnes, AKA Nomadic Matt, was once a cubicle worker who admittedly wasn’t always a big traveler. On his first trip back in 2004, he went to Costa Rica where his perspective in life transformed forever. 

A single trip — that’s how easy it is to fall in love with travel. 

Today, Matthew continues living the life he was born for. He primarily blogs about travel tips, encompassing topics like how to save for a trip and things to do in Singapore. 

Blog Topics 

  • Travel Insurance
  • Travel planning
  • Saving money on travel

  • Destinations

Monetization Strategies

2. Backpacking Matt

Backpacking Matt

By:  Matt Kyhnn

I think there’s something about the name “Matt” that raises a person’s affinity for traveling. 

Backpacking Matt , owned and run by Matt Kyhnn, is a travel blog that has similar vibes with Nomadic Matt. It has a simplistic design, a memorable content tone, and striking travel photos that bring the blog’s stories to life. 

Matt Kyhnn also leverages videos — providing his audience a more immersive way to enjoy his content. 

Fresh out of college, Matt simply decided that he won’t settle for a 9-5 job. Instead, he spent months working and traveling across Ireland, Scotland, and other regions in mainland Europe. 

He then booked a one-way ticket to New Zealand where he now resides. In addition to his blog, Matt also runs his own travel planning and booking website — Planit NZ. 

Blog Topics

  • Brand collaborations

Kate’s blog was built during her time in Southeast Asia along with her freelance portfolio, which helped fund her travels. Her target audience is women who want to travel, but required guidance on how to do it safely and easily. 

The “Solo Female Travel” category on her blog consists of posts about travel safety, travel planning, destination guides, and more. She also compiled a list of travel resources that help turn her audience’s travel ideas into action plans.

4. The Blonde Abroad

The Blonde Abroad

By:  Kiersten “Kiki” Rich

I covered Kiersten “Kiki” Rich of  The Blonde Abroad   in my list of the top lifestyle bloggers to follow in 2024. 

As her blog’s name suggests, she’s mainly a travel blogger who also discusses two other lifestyle-related topics — blogging and photography. 

Kiersten spent three, eye-opening months in multiple countries to re-envision the idea of “ success .” She succeeded in her goal and is now one of the most accomplished travel bloggers on the web. 

The Blonde Abroad covers a range of topics from travel photography to foreign cuisine. All of which draws wisdom from Kiersten’s personal travel experiences.

5. California Through My Lens

California Through My Lens

By:  Josh McNair

Josh McNair, owner of  California Through My Lens , has a distinct writing style that vividly describes details of travel destinations.

California Through My Lens is run by both Josh and his wife, Amy. The pair also has an active YouTube channel called Through My Lens where they share their experiences in video form. 

As you may have guessed, Josh’s content focuses on the beaches, caves, hiking trails, waterfalls, and various landmarks in California. Intricate details of each location, from hike distances to specific travel tips, are often included in his posts.

Dan Flying Solo

By:  Daniel “Dan” Clarke

Dan Flying Solo   is by Daniel Clarke — a travel blogger, photographer, and creative director at his own Portugal-based media company. 

Dan’s blogging life was ignited by his passion for photography. He was originally a frustrated restaurant manager who wanted more out of life.

Like me, Dan is a self-taught blogger. He worked day in and day out by doing free online courses, YouTube tutorials, and heaps of informative guides. 

What makes Dan Flying Solo an extra noteworthy blog is its library of video content. Daniel also makes it clear that the site has no particular theme — not unlike everything else in life.  

“ There’s not one particular theme to this blog because I don’t think that’s how life really is. We change and what we enjoy changes.”

7. Travel with Lakshmi

Travel with Lakshmi

By:  Lakshmi Sharath

Lakshmi Sharath worked on a desk job for multiple media organizations for 15 years. She then started her personal travel blog in 2005 — traveling to over 25 countries and across every corner of India. 

Travel with Lakshmi has only grown steadily ever since. It won multiple awards, including “India’s best travel blog of the year” award from Indiebloggie.  

As an Indian herself, Lakshmi made sure to highlight the country’s top travel destinations on the blog. She also documented her travels to foreign countries — from Abu Dhabi to the United Kingdom. 

As a way to support aspiring travelers around the world, Lakshmi also covers important tips on starting a travel blog. This includes essential tips on photography, travel planning, and travel writing.

Even in his professional life as a computer security consultant, travel was a big part of Anil’s life. He eventually decided to quit his job and fixate on one goal: to visit every country in the world.

What makes foXnoMad unique is that Anil utilizes his knowledge in tech to provide insightful tips on traveling smartly. He also develops apps that can help travelers in situations like determining water drinkability and calculating tips.

11. Alex in Wanderland 

Alex in Wanderland

By:  Alexandra Baackes

Alexandra Baackes created  Alex in Wanderland   for two reasons. 

First, she’s been dealing with a case of wanderlust all her life. And second, she’s a fan of a beloved, fictional character — Alice in Wonderland. 

Alexandra is originally from Brooklyn, New York where she purchased her one-way ticket into the traveling life. She now blogs about the best travel destinations, outdoor activities, and her personal, travel-related gear.

One of the things I like about Alex in Wanderland is the presentation and categorization of content. 

On the “Categories” page, Alex makes sure articles are well-organized based on topics like travel inspiration, activities, and planning. This makes it easy for her audience to find the information they need at any given time. 

  • Outdoor activities

12. Hey Nadine

Hey Nadine

By:  Nadine Sykora

Nadine Sykora of  Hey Nadine   is a popular travel blogger, YouTuber, and social media influencer.

Hey Nadine contains a host of content on travel advice, hacks, destinations, and inspiration. As a seasoned YouTuber, you can expect her blog content to contain a lot of embedded videos from her channel. 

  • Video production
  • Advertisements through YouTube
  • Sponsored content

13. I Am Aileen

I Am Aileen

Just like Kiersten Rich, Aileen Adalid is another travel blogger whom I also featured in my top lifestyle blogs listicle.

Aileen runs  I Am Aileen   — an award-winning blog that discusses just about everything there is to discuss in travel. She writes about destinations, the best travel activities, foreign cuisine, and more. 

What interested me the most about Aileen is her blogging background. At age 21, she quit her corporate job, which only paid $300 a month, to become a professional traveler. 

Since then, she’s been on a streak of smashing goals and breaking barriers. Thanks to her commitment to quality content, she’s recognized as one of the top bloggers in Asia. 

  • Online shop

14. Wandering Earl

Wandering Earl

By:  Derek Earl Baron

Here’s a fun trivia about  Wandering Earl . 

Unlike most bloggers who use their first names, the “Earl” in “Wandering Earl” is actually a middle name. Blog owner Derek Earl Baron only thought that “Wandering Derek” didn’t sound as catchy.

Derek is a one-of-a-kind, adventurous soul who discovered his purpose as a modern nomad relatively early into adulthood. After graduating in 1999, he planned a three-month vacation across Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. 

That three-month vacation continues to this very day. 

And that’s how Wandering Earl was created — documenting Derek’s adventures in over 100 countries. He also shares valuable pieces of wisdom on travel planning, food, budgeting, gear, and so on. 

Wandering Earl has that “old-school” look and feel to it. On the plus side, the site’s design only highlights 

  • Working while traveling
  • Selling “eGuides”

15. Be My Travel Muse

Be My Travel Muse

By:  Kristin Addis

Be My Travel Muse  is a solo female travel blog created by Kristin Addis. 

She studied in Taiwan and kept an investment banking job for four years. The only problem was, her daily routine rendered her creative, dreamer side claustrophobic. 

Her first step was a one-way ticket to Bangkok — envisioning a life of writing and travel. That’s exactly what she accomplished with her blog, which now caters to millions of readers all over the world. 

Kristin believes that solo traveling is the best way for women to feel empowered and more confident. She prioritizes solo female travel tips on her blog, including guides on safety, packing, and maintaining relationships. 

Be My Travel Muse also has heaps of content on popular travel destinations and self-care for women.

  • The Photo Muse Masterclass online course

16. Followtheboat

Followtheboat

By:  Liz Cleere and Jamie Furlong

Followtheboat   is a unique travel blog that focuses on a specific mode of transport: sailing. 

It is created with love by a travel writer Liz Cleere and photographer Jamie Furlong. There’s also Millie the rescue cat, which functions as a source of inspiration and encouragement for the blog’s human founders. 

Despite the focus on sailboats, Followtheboat’s content isn’t just made for sailors. The posts are tailor-made for travelers who also happen to be interested in the art and joys of sailing. 

Don’t be surprised at the humor and dynamic range of topics on the blog. You’ll find posts like “tools you need on a sailboat” and “is this the weirdest loo in the world?”

Followtheboat also has a library of podcasts, which record Liz and Jamie’s experiences on their travels. 

  • Boat maintenance
  • Patreon donations

17. Matthew Woodward

Matthew Woodward

By:  Matthew Woodward

If Followtheboat is about boats, you can probably guess what  Matthew Woodward   is a blog about trains. 

Not to be mistaken for  Matthew Woodward  the internet marketer, Matthew Woodward the rail adventurer loved trains as a child. He owned model railway sets, traveled alone by train, and watched shows about trains on TV. 

In his time as a geography student, he explored Europe with his trusty Interrail pass. He set his passion aside to focus on his career, which he eventually gave up to become a travel writer. 

Today, he blogs about railway systems over different continents. He’s also an accomplished author of three books: “The Railway to Heaven,” “A Bridge Even Further,” and “Trans-Siberian Adventures.”

  • Railway systems
  • Traveling by train
  • Selling books

18. The Opposite Travellers

The Opposite Travellers

By:  Ryan and Rachel Riel

The Opposite Travellers   were created by married couple Ryan and Rachel Riel. 

While both loved to travel, Ryan and Rachel had contrasting preferences when it comes to traveling. 

Rachel prefers to travel in style and luxury — through the accommodations and services offered by establishments and travel agencies. Ryan, on the other hand, leans toward daring adventures like biking and trekking — on $5 per night accommodations. 

The couple, however, utilized their differences as a selling point in The Opposite Travellers. 

As such, the website’s “Travel” section has two main categories: “Luxury Travel” and “Adventure Travel.” In other words, the blog has a diverse content library for travelers of all tastes and budgets.

The Opposite Travellers also boasts high-quality visuals taken and produced by Ryan Riel. All of the site’s videos are published on Ryan Riel Media — Ryan’s official YouTube channel.  

  • Content production

20. Bucket List Journey

Bucket List Journey

By:  Annette White

Travel is all about adventures, and so is life. 

That’s the essence of the  Bucket List Journey   by Annette White. 

The blog’s tagline is “tools and inspiration to live your list.” It refers to a person’s “bucket list,” which is basically a list of goals and experiences they want in life. 

Annette didn’t always have such a positive outlook in life. She used to be diagnosed with anxiety, which caused her to miss out on life-enriching experiences and opportunities. 

Eventually, she decided that she’ll no longer become a prisoner of fear and uncertainty. She had courage and took charge of her life’s direction — something every aspiring blogger needs to do at one point. 

Bucket List Journey talks about bucket list-worthy destinations, motivation, money, and travel tips. Annette also imparts knowledge on people who also struggle with facing fear and making braver life decisions. 

  • Overcoming fear and anxiety

21. Migrationology

Migrationology

By:  Mark Wiens

When I first visited  Migrationology , I wasn’t sure whether to classify it as a food or travel blog. 

Then I checked out Mark Wiens’s “About” page. There, I learned that he viewed food as a way to connect with people in various cultures. 

And to be exposed to these cultures, Mark dedicates his time, money, and efforts to travel. 

Mark makes sure the blog only focuses on content based on his personal travels. It’s made for people who want to experience the flavors of the world — in person or through Mark’s posts. 

Apart from general food travel blog posts and city guides, Migrationology also offers readers a “Food Tour” service. It is the result of a year of research done by Mark himself — in partnership with  Bangkok Vanguards . 

  • Bangkok Food Tour

22. The Cranky Flier

The Cranky Flier

By:  Brett Snyder

We already mentioned a blog about boats and another about trains. It’s time to talk about a blog on airplanes and air travel.

Cranky Flier   is a unique blog created by Brett Snyder — President and “Chief Airline Dork” of Cranky Flier LLC. 

Brett has been fascinated with airlines all his life. When he was young, he collected airline timetables and even spent a birthday with his grandmother watching planes land. 

As an adult, he spent several years in the airline industry fulfilling multiple roles. He became a sales intern at USAir, senior analyst at America West, marketing planning product at United, and so on.

Today, Brett publishes his opinions about the airline industry on Cranky Flier. He also updates several series, like “Worst Airline Ever,” “Airlines We Lost,” and “Across the Aisle Interviews.” 

I’ll let you determine what these series are all about based on what they’re called. 

  • Airline industry
  • Cranky Concierge service

23. Never Ending Footsteps

Never Ending Footsteps

By:  Lauren Juliff

Lauren Juliff is one of those bloggers who already knew what they wanted to be from an early age. 

She dreamt of traveling to new places, meeting new people, and exploring new cultures.  Never Ending Footsteps   is proof that she accomplished all three. 

The blog consists of posts about Lauren’s fulfilling travels to different countries. But unlike a lot of famous travel bloggers, she also talks about the downsides of being a digital nomad.

Never Ending Footsteps has a “The Incidents” blog section where Lauren discusses the not-so-sexy aspects of traveling. She has been scammed, attacked by monkeys, locked out of her room, lost her passport, and more. 

Despite these incidents, Lauren’s love for travel only grew. Such experiences increased her wisdom and travel acumen — resulting in some of the most insightful travel articles ever published.

Lauren also helps her audience get into the world of travel blogging. Check out “How to Start a Travel Blog” for information on web hosting, working with WordPress, and so on.

Against The Compass

By:  Joan Torres

How do you make a travel blog stand out?

Joan Torres has a surefire answer: covering the most unusual and “off the beaten track” destinations.

Against The Compass   is a unique blog that talks about the travel routes and destinations you probably haven’t heard of. It covers destinations that people don’t normally include in their bucket list, like Pakistan, Tunisia, Syria, and other high-risk countries. 

Of course, Joan makes sure to highlight the importance of safety when traveling in relatively low-popularity destinations. He has comprehensive guides for solo female travel, travel insurance, and general travel safety.

  • Travel insurance

26. Everything Everywhere 

Everything Everywhere

By:  Gary Arndt

In travel blogging, a picture is undeniably worth a thousand words. There’s simply no excuse for any travel blogger to forego the inclusion of visual content in their posts.

Gary Arndt’s absolutely nailed it with his photography work for  Everything Everywhere .

Gary actually won multiple, major travel photography awards — more than any travel photographer. His photography is so good that I suggest you check the “Travel Photos” page on Everything Everywhere.

Go ahead, take a break and thank me later. 

Other than taking breathtaking photos, Gary also publishes detailed blog posts about the places he’s been. He’s been on the go for roughly 9 years non-stop, which means readers will never run out of material.

27. The Longest Way Home

The Longest Way Home

By:  David Ways

The Longest Way Home   started as the personal travel journal of David Ways — a solo traveler in search of home. 

The blog originally started as David’s private, digital diary. As he journeyed across Europe and gained experience, it turned into a full-on blog with travel guides to specific locations. 

David finally found home in Nepal before traveling to other parts of Southeast Asia. 

He’s not the most nitpicky blogger in terms of grammar and spelling, but he’s definitely a brilliant storyteller. He’s also skilled in capturing and immortalizing moments into photos, which you can view on his blog’s gallery. 

The Longest Way Home has a library of content about various destinations, trekking, and travel planning. It also features in-depth travel guides to Nepal, Thailand, and overland travel — plus a mini-guide to Portugal.  

  • Travel planning

  • Fashion and style while traveling
  • Traveling as a minority
  • Personal opinions
  • Social media marketing

32. The Adventurists

The Adventurists

By:  Tom Morgan

The Adventurists   is hands down one of the most well-designed travel blogs in this post. 

The blog proves that integrating tons of video content into one page doesn’t have to affect its loading speed. In fact, the site loads surprisingly fast despite having several video panels on the homepage.

I’m not going to delve too deeply into this technical feat. What I’m going to focus on, however, is the brilliant team behind The Adventurists. 

The site is founded by “Chief Idiot” — Tom Morgan. Apparently, most of the crazy ideas featured on the blog were his. 

Every page on the site reflects Morgan and his team’s wackiness and passion for great adventures. They do, host, and document daring outdoor activities on air, land, and sea — plus, a whole lot of charity.

Their audience can also participate in these activities, which can be held in various parts of the globe. The “Monkey Run,” for example, is an event where participants race through dirt trails on tiny bikes.

The bottom line is, it’s hard to come up with unique ideas that set you apart in the blogging landscape. The Adventurists, on the other hand, managed to do so multiple times. 

  • “The Adventures” events
  • The “Shop of Stuff”

33. Time Travel Turtle

Time Travel Turtle

34. Hand Luggage Only

Hand Luggage Only

By:  Yaya and Lloyd

Hand Luggage Only   is a hugely successful travel blog by couple Yaya and Lloyd. 

The site doles out travel advice, inspiration, photography tips, food reviews, and posts about must-see destinations. It also has a library of high-quality videos where Yaya and Lloyd describe their experiences in detail.  

Yaya and Lloyd started the blog in 2014 with a plan to share their travel stories with the world. Within a few hours, they published their first posts using photos they already took and edited. 

The moral of the story is, consider starting a blog if you already have a library of unused travel photos. 

35. Travel4Wildlife

Travel4Wildlife

By:  Christina Garcia and Hal Brindley 

It should only take anyone a second to figure out what  Travel4Wildlife   is all about. 

The blog is created by couple Christina Garcia and Hal Brindley out of their passion for wildlife. 

Hal is an experienced wildlife photographer for organizations like the Nature Conservancy Magazine, SEE Turtles, and RARE Conservation. Christina, on the other hand, is an experienced zoologist who worked on studies on wolves, cheetahs, and leopards.

  • Wildlife tour reviews

The main focal points of The Insatiable Traveler include destinations, cruises, photography, and travel gear. Susan also covers the safaris in various regions, like Tanzania, Namibia, and Kenya.

38. Uncornered Market

Uncornered Market

By:  Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott

Dan Noll and Audrey Scott are a pair of adventurers, storytellers, and tourism advisors who advocate for responsible traveling. 

They created  Uncornered Market   — a responsible tourism blog — after leaving their secure and stable lifestyle in Prague. Prior to that, they lived in San Francisco and took a leap of faith for the sake of avoiding regrets.  

It’s clear that both Dan and Audrey believed that fulfillment can’t be found within the confines of your comfort zone. They explored, made connections, and shared their experiences through their travel blog. 

Some of the topics you’ll find in Uncornered Market are about destinations, sustainable tourism, food, and trekking. Dan and Audrey also write about personal growth and experiential travel. 

Uncornered Market is also a tourism development and marketing consultancy company. They help travel companies, destinations, and tourism organizations build their brands and deliver their message to a wider audience.

39. Jessie on a Journey

Jessie on a Journey

By:  Jessica “Jessie” Festa

Like plenty of bloggers, Jessica Festa needed a taste of life before discovering her true calling. 

In her youth, Jessie traveled to mostly cruises in the Caribbean and road trips in North America. She also experienced being a sightseeing guide in New York. 

Jessie on a Journey   is the result of her pursuing her dreams of getting paid to do something she loves. She now blogs about being a solo female traveler, blogging it, and profiting off of it. 

I’m sure a lot of big-name bloggers are all too familiar with how Jessie made the blogging vision a reality.

For a long time, she felt that the workaday lifestyle isn’t for her. It made her feel like she’s living everyone else’s life — not the kind of life she wanted to keep. 

Despite the disapproval of loved ones, Jessie decided to quit her secure job in favor of being a travel blogger. 

She was just as unprepared as most people before starting their own blog. The key difference is, she went out there and took her first step.

40. Legal Nomads

Legal Nomads

By:  Jodi Ettenberg

Back when Jodi Ettenberg was in law school, she never would’ve guessed she’d run a successful travel and food business. 

That happens to a lot of people, especially those who never thought of giving priority to their passions. 

It’s just a hunch, but I think the name  Legal Nomads   had something to do with Jodi’s background in law. 

Legal Nomads highlights destinations and local cultures just as insightfully as other travel blogs. What makes it different is that Jodi focuses on local cuisines to experience and tell the stories of each destination. 

A huge part of Jodi’s blog is about wellness and gluten-free eating. She then utilized her knowledge and experience to create detailed restaurant cards, which travelers can use when visiting certain countries. 

  • Gluten-free restaurant cards
  • The Legal Nomads Shop

41. Indiana Jo

Indiana Jo

By:  Jo Fitzsimons

Like Jodi Ettenberg, Jo Fitzsimons also used to practice law before becoming a successful travel and lifestyle writer. 

Indiana Jo   started way back in 2010 where Jo can comfortably type away her thoughts and musings. Fed up with her full-time job, she went out to see the world as a digital nomad.

It wasn’t always smooth sailing for Indiana Jo, however. According to her, she thought about quitting the blog several times before finally realizing that it’s a lifetime thing. 

Jo writes about her travel experiences, destinations, wine, and food. She also shares travel planning tips along with a long list of content about topics that personally interest her. 

  • Travel health and safety

42. TravelFreak

TravelFreak

By:  Jeremy Scott Foster

TravelFreak   is the brainchild of Jeremy Scott Foster who left America in the middle of a recession and to Australia. 

For a while, he racked up some savings as a traveling bartender. It took some time before he finally made the switch to be a digital nomad and online entrepreneur. 

Jeremy created the blog to help people create opportunities to achieve the fulfilling life they deserve. 

He writes about travel advice, destinations, gear, and ways to get your finances in order as you travel. This includes guides on how to land and keep a job abroad along with resources on reliable booking websites. 

I personally like the way Jeremy designed TravelFreak to provide the best possible user experience. Unlike a traditional layout, the site features a search bar so readers can jump right into the content they need.

TravelFreak has been featured in Forbes, National Geographic, The New York Times, and a few other big-name publications.   

43. The Everywhereist

The Everywhereist

By:  Geraldine DeRuiter

Before anything else, yes — that’s Rand Fishkin in the photo above. 

And yes, the next travel blogger on this list is Rand’s longtime sweetheart and wife. 

Geraldine DeRuiter was a former copywriter and went with Rand in his travels, which are often business-related. She then turned to the habit of documenting their travel experiences, which she described as “love letters” to her husband. 

Today, Geraldine works full-time on  The Everywhereist   — named by Time magazine as one of the best blogs in 2011. 

The Everywhereist contains posts about food and Geraldine’s travel experiences along with a comprehensive Philadelphia travel guide. The guide contains information on where to go, eat, shop, and stay. 

Geraldine also wrote a book called “All Over The Place.” It chronicles how she embraced her love for blogging after being laid off, which aspiring bloggers can draw inspiration from. 

  • All Over The Place book sales

44. Keep Calm and Travel

Keep Calm and Travel

By:  Clelia Mattana

Keep Calm and Travel   is a travel blog created by serial traveler Clelia Mattana. 

Ever since she was 19, Clelia is a certified sea lover and globetrotter. But like many travel bloggers, she was given a choice between a secure job and the traveling lifestyle. 

Clelia’s finalized her choice when she bought a one-way ticket to Asia. She then created Keep Calm and Travel to send a simple message:

“No matter what your age is, or your budget, or status, you can travel and live your life on your own terms.”

The blog’s topics include destinations across continents, photography, and travel gear. She also has a dedicated page for Sardinia, which is one of her absolute favorite travel destinations.

45. Practical Wanderlust

Practical Wanderlust

By:  Lia and Jeremy Garcia

Lia and Jeremy Garcia, who aptly labeled themselves a “travel couple” on Instagram, are the minds behind  Practical Wanderlust .  

Jeremy is a film degree holder whose passions include writing and directing. He also became a high school teacher who taught filmmaking and digital media art.

Lia, on the other hand, has a fashion design and apparel merchandising degree. She took on roles in corporate merchandising before becoming a business systems analyst. 

Why did I tell you all this? Simple: I want you to know what the pair had to give up pursuing their dreams of traveling. 

Practical Wanderlust’s goal is to help other people enjoy travel in the most realistic and sensible approach possible. The blog is filled with detailed content on planning memorable trips on a budget, where to go, and staying safe.   

Lia and Jeremy also host their own podcast, which is available on Google Podcasts, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. 

  • Coaching and mentoring services
  • Sponsored podcast episodes

46. Expert Vagabond

Expert Vagabond

By:  Matthew “Matt” Karsten

Matthew Karsten, AKA the  Expert Vagabond , has been a travel blogger, photographer, and digital nomad for nine years.

He talks about budget travel tips, destinations, travel photography, and strategies to make the digital nomadic life work. 

Matt is a business degree holder who spent time freelancing as a nightlife and event photographer. While he admits it was fun, he knew that he wants and deserves something more. 

After a year of downsizing his life, eating homemade food, selling eBooks, and saving every penny, he was ready. He set out to obtain a different kind of wealth — that which is made with adventures and experiences.

  • Nomadic living

47. The Voyageur

The Voyageur

By:  Pauline Chardin

Pauline Chardin is a France-based fashion designer, photographer, and art director. 

She always had a soft spot for travel — driven by her appreciation for picturesque architecture, landscapes, and good food. She started  The Voyageur   to help people view the world through her voice and eyes. 

The Voyageur is a simple, yet aesthetic website achieved through Pauline’s incredible photography skills. Apart from itineraries and posts about hotels, food, art, and architecture, the site also has a sizeable photo gallery.

Images are accompanied by a brief article that describes the destination’s history and Pauline’s thoughts and emotions during her visit. I’m not sure what it is, but there’s something about this content format that’s truly engaging and relaxing. 

  • Art and architecture

48. Amateur Traveler

Amateur Traveler

By:  Chris Christensen

Don’t be fooled by the name —  Amateur Traveler   is by no means run by an amateur.

Chris Christensen is a skilled photographer, travel writer, and podcast host. The site also utilizes a long list of monetization strategies that I believe every blogger should learn. 

True, he wasn’t the most experienced traveler when he started the blog. Before he created Amateur Traveler, he was a full-time EVP of engineering and operations for a company based in Silicon Valley. 

In his defense, he grew up in a family that traveled a lot to national parks in a trailer. He also learned a lot of foreign languages, which he believes is a window into understanding and embracing different cultures. 

Amateur Traveler discusses destinations, travel budgeting, planning, gear, and booking. The site also features a weekly podcast on the top destinations around the world. 

  • Amateur Traveler Shop powered by Etsy
  • Podcast advertisements
  • Social media and content marketing consulting services
  • Content writing services
  • Paid guest posts

49. Girl Eat World

Girl Eat World

By:  Melissa Hie

Melissa Hie is the “Girl” in  Girl Eat World  — a name that encapsulates what the whole blog is all about. 

You see, Melissa’s three passions are food, travel, and storytelling. She started the blog in 2015 as a digital diary for herself and friends who need travel tips. 

Prior to her blog’s success, she amassed quite a following on Instagram. This springboarded her blogging career, which she put in the back burner after focusing on her full-time career.

Girl Eat World is essentially a compendium of Melissa’s travel stories and travel planning guides. She also has an iconic style of capturing Instagram posts, which must be seen to be appreciated. 

50. The Adventure Junkies

The Adventure Junkies

By:  Antonio Cala and Amanda Zeisset

The Adventure Junkies   is definitely not your average travel blog. 

It’s not just about the travel stories of founders Antonio Cala and Amanda Zeisset. Upon visiting the blog for the first time, you’ll realize that it’s all about the community the blog has built. 

New visitors are encouraged to join “ Summit ” — a free community for people who seek adventures through travel and outdoor activities. There, members can connect, plan events, share posts, ask questions, form groups, and discuss anything related to travel. 

The Adventure Junkies also compile guides and resources about outdoor activities like diving, kayaking, mountain biking, and snowboarding. There’s also a section for visitors who’d like to learn about outdoor and underwater photography.

Antonio and Amanda started The Adventure Junkies as a personal blog about their three years of cycling. Over time, their readers began asking questions on how they can plan their own adventures. 

The couple then realized that they need to create something more than a personal blog. As such, they transformed The Adventure Junkies as a one-stop shop for adventurists.  

  • The Adventure Junkies Store
  • Paid digital guides

51. A Broken Backpack Travel Blog

A Broken Backpack

By:  Melissa Giroux

Melissa Giroux used to be a social worker who only traveled once a year. 

Melissa created  A Broken Backpack   a year after her journey in the Canadian Rockies — hitch-hiking from point A to B. She continued working on her blog as a creative outlet while working on a farm in Australia. 

It didn’t take long before A Broken Backpack’s popularity gained momentum and gave Melissa a new frontier. 

The website contains crucial tips on travel gear, budgeting, destinations, and the life of a digital nomad. Melissa also put together in-depth guides on travel blogging, moving to another country as an expat, and backpacking.

  • SEO eBook on Nomad Life 101

52. The World Travel Guy

travel blogger website

By : David Leiter

David Leiter is an American travel blogger currently based in Bali, Indonesia, with his wife Intan (who’s a Bali local).

They travel around the world and try to document the most scenic destinations by creating articles, photos, videos, and guides for other travelers.

David runs  The World Travel Guy , an adventure travel blog that he started when he was a solo traveler, but now covers their travels around the globe as a couple.

In total, they’ve visited dozens of countries, while also checking off some bucket list adventures like a Komodo dragon safari in Indonesia, the Mount Everest Base Camp trek in Nepal, and a bunch of world monuments like the Angkor Wat and Taj Mahal.

53. Life Part 2

Life Part 2

By:  Jonathan Look Jr. and Sarah Wilson

The last blog on this list that your best life can start at any time you choose. 

Let me tell you the story behind  Life Part 2   and the people behind it.

Jonathan Look Jr. and Sarah Wilson are both happy retirees with a simple mantra: “don’t waste your retirement.”

To them, retirement isn’t about being comfortable and secure. Rather, it’s all about the freedom to listen to your heart and follow where it takes you. 

Jonathan and Sarah met in Chiang Mai, Thailand where they both agreed to see the world as a couple. 

Life Part 2 is a mix of all things travel. At times, there’ll be a post about remote destinations and backpacking, and at other times, the theme is luxury travel. 

You will, however, notice that the content topics on the blog often revolve around retirement, minimalism, and travel. 

Planning to go on your own travel adventures? Perhaps you’re thinking of starting your very own travel blog?

It doesn’t matter if you’ve got a case of wanderlust or the desire to be a travel blogger yourself. 

The list above has some of the best travel blogs ever created. They can provide you with ideas and inspiration for your next trip or first-ever travel blog post. 

If you think I missed a great travel blog that everyone should read, let me know in the comments below. Good luck!

Thanks For Looking!

I'm David Leiter , the travel blogger behind this website. I'm an American who's been traveling the world full time for 8 years now.

I started this travel blog in 2019 to document my own international trips and help others learn how to travel the world on a budget.

I'm currently based in Bali , Indonesia , where I met my wife Intan (who’s a Bali local), and now we've continued this travel blog as a couple.

This originally began as a solo travel blog, but I'm sure someday when we have kids we'll cover family travels as well!

Together, we travel the world with a camera and drone, and try to document the most scenic destinations by creating articles, photos, videos, and guides with expert advice for other travelers.

I like to write about all kinds of hikes , beaches , waterfalls , volcanoes , castles , temples , monuments , wildlife , and other interesting sights.

I've worked with or been featured by BBC Travel , NBC News , Stripe , Time , and other companies. I also sell some photo prints from my travels now.

I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list. I hope this world travel blog can help and inspire you in your own journeys as well!

Get In Touch

Feel free to contact me if you have travel questions, comments, or suggestions! I'll try to get back to you!

Hi! I’m Kate.

I teach women how to travel the world safely — and I’m here to help you have the best trip ever.

I quit my job to travel the world alone in 2010. 12 years later, I’ve traveled to 83 countries and all seven continents! Oh, and I never went back to a “real” job.

Whether you need guidance for your first solo trip or you’re a seasoned traveler looking for destination inspiration, you’ve come to the right place!

You’re the most genuine blogger I’ve ever read…I’ve consumed a lot of blogs and travel related content in the past decade but you’re the only one I really trust and can genuinely say puts your readers first.

No one tackles the uncomfortable and difficult subjects like Kate does. I feel like she makes me a more aware and ethical traveler. It’s a complete bonus that reading her is like manifesting that wickedly intelligent, hilarious well-traveled friend we would all love to have.

101 Best Travel Blogs (Updated Jan 2023)

100-best-travel-blogs

Welcome to NomadsNation’s list of 101 best travel blogs on planet earth.

Some newbies. Some oldies. Some of the biggest names. Some of the smallest names. We don’t discriminate. These are the blogs we love.

*For the sake of a clean, navigable format, we have organized these blogs by niche, which was a bit difficult to do. While some blogs are apparent about their specific niche, most travel blogs overlap, and could be put in multiple categories. This list was our best effort to keep this page as clean as possible, and by no means is meant to insult, or pigeonhole any of these amazing bloggers.*

 Best Budget Travel Blogs

Wandering earl.

best-travel-blogs-wandering-earl

*Staff Pick * The beginning of the list, and the highest of our recommendations. Wandering Earl (real name Derek) transcends what it means to be a travel blogger. The travel blogging industry is filled with hidden agendas, and unrealistic depictions of traveling. Derek is the antithesis – open, transparent, and refreshingly honest. He exemplifies the positive, open minded attitude of a world citizen, and is an example for veteran and aspiring travelers across the planet.

If you want to understand him as a person, writer, and traveler, his hilarious “ conversation” with his younger self   is a good place to start. Also this gem about his  choice of hotel in Mumbai  is the embodiment of his enviable attitude as a traveler. (But you can’t go wrong with anything the man has published)

Travel Independent

Travel-Independent-100-Best-Travel-Blogs

*Staff Pick*  Less of a blog, and more of a crowd sourced travelers guide, Travel Independent is arguably the most important budget-travel-resource on the web. When it comes to thoroughness of content and accuracy of tone – Travel Independent has no equal. Most important is the tone of the site. No rainbows and unicorns type travel writing that plagues the travel-web. Just real, down to earth advice for real, down to earth travelers.  Read their destination guides.  Now.

Nomadic Matt

100-Best-Travel-Blogs-Nomadic-Matt

*Staff Pick*  You may have heard of him. He’s kind of a big deal. Matthew Knepes started Nomadic Matt in 2008, and in the past near-decade, has become the Michael Jordan of this industry… and deservingly so. Over his travel blogging career, his tone has remained consistent, and he has treated his brand with the utmost integrity,  rarely taking sponsored trips or compromising his site.  He also has taken increasingly progressive stand on social issues, promoting LGBT travel, and supporting ecotourism.

Destination guides are always a go-to, but we also like his inspiration-type articles, like this one where he talk about  his lessons learned while traveling.

Globo Treks

Five years on the road, professional architect Norbert is on a mission to visit every country in the world. As impressive as that is, we find his content to be  more  impressive. Norbert publishes the ubiquitous/needed travel-blog posts, but also branches out into territory we find… refreshing. His favorite architectural cities of Europe, round the world soundtrack, and  explaining his perspective on the cost of destinations  make his blog a must-read,

Just a Pack

Well designed and well written – Just a Pack has all the characteristics of a professional travel blog. Friends Michael and Randi have been traveling for two years together, and their blog is both a chronicle of their journey, and and impressive budget travel resource. Their budget travel guides are well put together ( Barcelona being a good example ), and their top-ten lists are digestible and informative. Great work!

Travel Freak

Jeremy’s blog has gained a lot of traction recently, and deservingly so. The design is stellar, and the content is great. He’s been in the game for a while – one of his most popular posts being about his nude bungee jumping experience in New Zealand in 2011. Due to some health issues he’s semi-nomadic now, but is still pumping out great content like  his article on Ho Chi Minh  (10 points for alliteration too Jeremy).

Polish bff’s Agness and Cez have been traveling together since 2011, and aim to keep costs under $25 a day. Impressive. eTramping has interesting, applicable travel advice, and an array of tips to keep travel costs lowww. Their  awesome work abroad  post has some amazing advice from an impressive list of travel bloggers, and they also maintain a page for English Teaching jobs in China.

Price of Travel

The Price of Travel is one of the most valuable resources for budget travelers. All of the blog posts are valuable, but the site’s most impressive features are the Backpacker Budget Index’s for Africa/Middle East, Central/South America, Asia, Europe, and well…  the world as a whole.

Budget Your Trip

Budget Your Trip gives you daily budgeting estimates for cities around the world… and in our research/experience… they’re spot on. While the blog does have some high quality posts, this site’s meat and potatoes is  it’s budget search engine . Give it a go. You shan’t regret it.

Best Travel Vlogs

Vagabrothers.

vagabrothers-100-best-travel-blogs

While they’ve catalogued an impressive amount of interesting videos, their city guides are our favorites. They typically begin with some historical pretext  (always appreciated)  and dive into food and culture. Some highlights being Toronto, Amsterdam and a  very entertaining Mendoza video.  (Also, follow them on Snapchat.)

A Brit and a Broad

a-brit-and-a-broad-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  A three-person team, A Brit and a Broad features hosts Macca and Brianna in front of the camera, and Brian Ceci directing the magic behind the camera.

Stylish videos meets the modern traveler – their style is completely unique. Their content is down to earth, and very intimate and relatable, while simultaneously maintaining a very contemporary and professional vibe. Macca and Brianna are amazing hosts, but Brian’s cinematography and editing are what takes A Brit and a Broad to the next level.  This is the proof. 

Her name is Nadine, and (as of writing) at 270,000+ Youtube subscribers…. she’s doing ok for herself. Her success is due to her 1) great cinematography skills 2) even better editing skills and 3) incredibly cute, vibrant, and infectious personality. Her videos are entertaining, while also having substance and value.  Start here.

Kick the Grind

Mike Corey’s mission statement is ‘experiences over possessions’ and has done well translating that to his brand. Kick the Grind is five plus years of travel footage, challenges and inspiration. His videos are intelligent, inquisitive and thought provoking, like his documentation of his  30 days alone in the forest for his 30th birthday .

Alex Chacon

A Go-Pro-Pro, Alex made a name for himself posting epic videos about his even epic-er adventures. His videos are well edited, but usually raw and alive – which works perfectly for his brand.  A motorcycle enthusiast, Alex has biked across India, Oman, and more impressively  500 days from Alaska to Argentina.

Sonia’s Travels

Sonia’s Youtube channel is legit. Her videos are well produced, giving them a professional feel that compliments her bright, animated personality. While she does have a handful of longer videos, most of her content is 2-3 minute travel tips that are helpful and  concise and always entertaining.

Best Adventure Travel Blogs

Uncharted backpacker.

unchartered-backpacker-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  Meet Uncharted Backpacker – a new kid on the block, but in our opinion, one of the finest travel blogs on the web. The site is gorgeous, writing is great, and photography??? I say Amen! Creator Stephen Gollan has spent the last seven years traveling and accumulating an adventurous resume (Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Congo, etc.). His advice is solid, and his tone is real – something we value over anything else here at NN.

His  post on his time in Rajasthan  is fantastic as is  his experience in Afghanistan . But the quality of photography and navigability of the site make any article worthwhile. Keep it up Stephen.

The Broke Backpacker

Will is a character, and has successfully transferred his personality to his website. It’s great! A self proclaimed ‘amateur adventure traveler’, The Broke Backpacker is an entertaining look at hardcore adventure budget travel. Currently Will is in the midst of an epic itinerary –  U.K. to Papa New Guinea. 18 months . 20 pounds a day. No flying. Well played Will, well played.

NOMADasaurus

NOMADasaurus is a cool brand and creators Jarryd and Alesha have done very well for themselves over a short period of time. Why? Well first off – the site has a great design. It’s fun, reflects their adventurous brand, and is very navigable. Second – their content is very detailed, and they leave no stone unturned (like this  great post on the world’s most dangerous hike ).

Indie Traveller

Indie Traveler has done well for itself (and congrats on going full time Marek) and deservingly so. The blog has a ton of information. We like the destination guides, in particular a very informative and thorough section  dedicated to traveling Southeast Asia.

Diving Squad

Scuba diving is adventurous as fuck, and Mr. Alex Hatton has put together what is EASILY the best Scuba Diving website on the planet. Seriously, the diving-content on this site is nothing short of ‘wow’. Whether you are interested in diving in Koh Tao , or the best Liveaboards in the Maldives, Diving Squad has insider guides that are unrivaled (and quite funny too!)

Escaping Abroad

James has put together a real adventure travel blog, cataloguing his experiences swimming with whale sharks, cage diving with not-whale sharks,  and stalking glow-in-the-dark scorpions. What’s most interesting is he is an avid ‘field herper’  ( ‘the searching for poisonous frogs & venomous snakes in their wild, natural habitats’)  which obviously sounds awesome.

Nomad Revelations

Portuguese creator Joao Leitao has  an impressive adventure travel resume  and an even more impressive brand with Nomad Revelations. The site looks and feels great, and has a lot of material, some of the more interesting being his recent time in Iraq and North Korea.

Wanderlusters

Great design, great writing, great photography – Charli has put together a fantastic site! We like her destination guides (Nevis looks stunning by the way), but we definitely recommend checking out her very thorough housesitting articles. We’ll be keeping an eye on Wanderlusters.

Best Female Travel Blogs

The professional hobo.

the-professional-hobo-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  Nora Dunn is The Professional Hobo, and just as importantly, one of the best travel writers on the web. She is an exceptional wordsmith, and has made a name for herself by specializing in free accommodation. In her past life Nora was a financial planner, and her finance-savviness is evident on her blog, as she publishes financial case studies and money travel tips.

Nora annually summarizes her year in travel ( here’s 2014 ,  and 2015 ) and if you sign up for her newsletter, she’ll send you a five part series about how to travel full time in a financially stable way.

Adventurous Kate

Kate’s a legend in this industry, and it almost feels a bit sacrilegious  not  putting her in the NomadsNation Staff picks, so we’d like to reiterate –  we got nothin’ but love for you Kate!  Our favorite aspect to the blog is her tone. Down to earth. Real. No BS. It’s very refreshing, and has solidified her brand. We had a hard time picking one article to promote, so  check out the best of her blog  and just get lost in it.

Be My Travel Muse

Kristin’s blog was doing quite well for itself, then she got picked up by NomadicMatt to be his Solo Female writing expert, and now she’s basically a travel-blogging-household-name (and deservingly so). Her site is stunning, and her content focuses on solo female travel and outdoor/adventure travel. Check out  her budget for 6 months in SE Asia .

P.S. I’m on My Way

“If you are looking for travel guides, this blog is not it”. Trisha’s blog is refreshing in it’s self-awareness. She travels, then she writes about it. Easy as that. While she has practical guides (like her saving $4,000 on accommodation) Trisha focuses more on inspiration and learning about life through traveling. Her  Dear Girls of the World  series is lovely, and a must read for aspiring female travelers.

Young Adventuress

We love Liz’s Young Adventuress. Why? While the site is great, and destination guides are completely on point – it’s the tone of her more personal articles that resonates most. Not afraid to curse, not afraid to piss people off, YA is a refreshing alternative to middle-of-the-road-make-everyone-happy travel blogging. She writes great guides for females, but our favorites posts are  Solo and Single  and  The Best Hate of 2015  (haters gon’ hate Liz – keep up the great work).

That Backpacker

Audrey’s That Backpacker… it’s kind of a big deal (try 170,000+ likes on fb). She’s been blogging for years, and has accumulated an impressive library of destination guides. We like Audrey’s site, and find her to be a wonderfully enjoyable read. Check out her trip to Kyrgyzstan,  Jordan , and (since she taught English there for a year) anything South Korea related.

Best LGBT Travel Blogs

Leave your daily hell.

leave-your-daily-hell-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  Robert’s Leave Your Daily Hell is the perfect mix of advice mixed with personal memoirs. A gifted writer and storyteller, the blog is loaded with valuable travel information, intimate stories,  and some of the best travel photography  on the web. Start with his  guide for spending two months in Europe , then do yourself a favor and get lost in his stunning photography.

Globetrotter Girls

Once a couple, now just Dani’s project, Globetrotter Girls has been around since 2010, and was one of the first Lesbian-travel blogs on the map. The site has an extraordinary amount of content, as Dani writes about gay travel, budget travel, and travel photography. But  having saved $20,000 housesitting around the world , we recommend starting there.

Two Bad Tourists

A new kid on the block, Two Bad Tourists is a self proclaimed gay travel blog. Run by couple Auston and David, the site has a heavy focus on gay travel, or as they put it ‘gaycations’. Their content as a whole is well written, but in particular  their gay city guides  are very thorough (and downloadable!).

Nomadic Boys

Stefan and Sebastien are a gay couple traveling the world, and doing an impressive job chronicling their journey. NB is both entertaining and informative, with well written articles concerning all things gay-travel. Their brand is fun but conscious, as they aim to support LBGT communities across the world  particularly in parts of the world that are not always gay-friendly .

Best Couple Travel Blogs

The world pursuit.

the-world-pursuit-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  A bit newer on the scene, we were immediately impressed with The World Pursuit. The design, feel and (most importantly) content has all the makings of professional travel blog. Although we’ve put it in the ‘couple blog’ category, the posts are relevant to budget travelers of all kind. Their  travel expense report for 19 countries  and  cost to backpack Europe  are both rigorous and brilliantly written. Heed our advice, this blog is going places.

 Getting Stamped

And the best blog design on this list goes to…. Getting Stamped! Talk about ‘wow’ – this site is an aesthetic orgasm, with quality content to match. Run by Adam and Hannah, Getting Stamped is blogging the right way, evidenced by articles like their  Maldives Photo Guide  (the drone photography looks great!) and things to do in Kowloon .

What Doesn’t Suck?

Great brand name and a tone to match, What Doesn’t Suck… Doesn’t suck. Jeff (American) and Anne (French) are expats living in Dubai, and using their home as a launch pad to explore the rest of the world. We really like the down to earth tone – they are personable and  funny!  Their videos are great too, in particular  48 hours in Beirut  and Iceland.

 Hecktic Travels

Canadians. Sold everything to travel the world. You know, that old chestnut. But Dalene and Pete did a bit more with their travels, creating Hecktic Travels and turning it into a very successful brand. They have become a goliath in this industry, and have been paving the way for travel bloggers since 2009. We love their writing, integrity of their brand, and  transparency as a traveling couple. 

Road Affair

We’ve had our eye on the aesthetically striking Road Affair for a while. Jazzy and Ben have done well, and their site is really coming together. Their budget guides are improving and their content is strongest when they maintain a down-to-earth tone. Articles like  S**t Happens all the Time  and  Am I a Selfish Daughter?  are prime examples

The Global Couple

Reigning from New Zealand, Petra and Shaun have put together an impressive site. In particular, the articles are well written, and there is a crap ton of available content – all which is on a gorgeous site that is easily navigable. Check out their  36 Hour Destination Guides  (a great series title by the way) and their New Zealand guides.

Best Travel Hacking Blogs

Upgraded points.

upgraded-points-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  Run by Alex and Erin, Upgraded Points is an impressive team of Travel Hacking specialists. Travel Hacking is becoming a saturated niche, but currently we find Upgraded Points to be the best in the business. Why? Their content is incredibly thorough and aggressively updated. If you are seeking consultation for maximizing miles or points, there is not better resource available. Bravo!

If you are a Travel-Hacking-newbie, definitely check out their express and in depth beginner guides. But their most impressive content revolves around their relentless dedication to  maximizing earnings , and  maximizing points and miles.

Travel is Free

travel-is-free-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick* Drew and Caroline’s Travel is Free is nothing short of spectacular. Drew’s posts are thorough, meticulously researched, and typically ahead of the curve. A solid writer, his posts are some of the best in this niche and TIF is quickly becoming one of the leading voices in the Travel Hacking community.

Travel is Free has some great infographics ( United Guide is our favorite ) and good destination guides, but if you want to maximize the value of this site (see what I did there?) keep up with his blog. Drew is always looking for new Travel Hacking angles, and will likely be one of the firsts to report on innovations  (like this gem).

The Points Guy

The Points Guy is more like The Points God. His site is a Pandora’s Box of Travel Hacking information and updates. Spending, redemptions, maximizing… what ever credit cards questions you have, Brian Kelly and his crew probably got you covered. While there are numerous articles to promote, we think their  Top Ten Deals  is the best place to start.

View from the Wing

If there was a vote tomorrow about who should be crowned the king of points and miles, Gary Leff would likely be the winner. He’s a Travel Hacking blog-pioneer, and is a genius in the topic by every measure. While he can hack with the best of them, his specialty is his deeper knowledge and awareness of miles and the airline industry as a whole. Also, keep an eye on  his Top Ten Deals .

Million Mile Secrets

Another authority on miles and points, Million Mile Secrets has been on top of their niche for years. The site moves very fast, with a ton of writers contributing high quality articles – very important in the quickly-moving Travel Hacking scene. (Also, MMS was nice enough to  let us do a guest post  this year, so another thanks to them for that!)

God Save the Points

Another new kid on the block, we found God Save the Points through Million Mile Secrets, and have been thoroughly impressed. They have a well designed, minimalist, yet aesthetically striking website, and most importantly, the content to match.  Their beginner guide is fantastic, easily navigable, and a great place to start.

Best Location Independent Travel Blogs

Goats on the road.

goats-on-the-road-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  This feels weird. We’ve been (devoutly) following GOTR for years, so categorizing them as a Location Independent Travel Blog seem… sacrilegious. While they are a couple budget travel blog that is currently re-branding into a Digital Nomad Travel Blog…  calling them anything less than an industry authority at this point would be absurd . Goats on the Road has some of the best budget travel content on the web, and theyhave wedged their way into the tops of the travel blogging world.

But! Their content has been exponentially Digi-Nomad heavy, and if their  guides for Mexico  and  Malta  are any hint of what’s in store… we’re in for a treat.

Become Nomad

Eli David runs Become Nomad, and frankly, it’s awesome. David has an efficient writing style – informative while being very easy to process. You really can’t go wrong with anything he’s published. In particular, his  Trending Digital Nomad Locations  piece is impressive, and illustrates his knowledge and involvement in the DN community.

Spartan Traveler

Detail oriented and business savvy, Clayton’s Spartan Traveler is a fantastic resource for travelers and digital nomads. As a traveler, he’s  transparent about his travel costs  and the lessons he’s learned on the road. As an entrepreneur, he blogs about location independence, and has a lot advice for other digital nomads.

Johnny’s brand is exploding and he is starting to show up everywhere. The man is an enviable entrepreneur, and his success is due to hard work on his projects, and business  transparency on his blog.  Based in Chiang Mai for the past four years, his ultimate guide to the city is not a false advertisement. Highly recommended.

The Nomad List

We’ve been following this site since it’s earliest stages, and it’s been fun watching it grow to where it is now. While the site does many things, the  community-controlled city rankings  is particularly unique. It can be extremely valuable for travelers looking to gain insight into costs and logistics of cities, and is nothing short of essential for Digital Nomads.

Best Food Travel Blogs

Migrationology.

migrationology-top-100-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  One of the early influencers of the travel-blogging-food-scene, Mark Wiens has become a goliath in his niche. He’s so far ahead of the competition it’s scary – there are no food travel blogs that can even compare to his (that we’re aware of).  While his photos and writing are great, it’s his Youtube channel that has recently helped separate him from the competition. Mark has a particular love for street food, and only in video can you really appreciate the atmosphere that is so crucial in the experience of eating street food.

If you’re a foodie – Migrationology will be your paradise. While his Jakarta,  Singapore , and Taipei city guides are insane, his expertise is undoubtedly Thai food which is thoroughly chronicled in his  Bangkok Travel Guide for Food Lovers. 

Will Fly for Food

Recently rebranded, JB & Renée run a very nice, personal, travel blog, that has a huge emphasis on food. Their city guides are good, very thorough and well organized – but their food guides are very impressive! Easy to read, with good photography, we like their organization and that they tell you  what  to eat, and most importantly,  where  you can find it. Check out their guides for  Hong Kong , Penang, Malaysia, and the Philippines, and their new  food infographics (amazing!) .

Legal Nomads

Ex-lawyer Jodi started Legal Nomads in 2008, and while it has transformed into more than just a food blog, the food is still our favorite part. She has celiac’s disease and an extreme insensitivity to gluten, so a lot of her guides are written for travelers with gluten intolerance. Regardless of your dietary needs, her guide to Northern India should be checked out, and if you ever travel to Saigon,  this 10,000 word monster article  will  be your food bible.

Plant Powered Nomad

Amelia’s blog is great! Lovely design, and great content ranging from conscious travel, to teaching English abroad, and more. But! We enjoy her vegan-inspired blog posts the most. Doesn’t matter if you eat vegan or not, her vegan travel guides ( Rome  and  St. Petersburg  being some highlights) are gorgeous and very thorough.

i am a food blog

Steph and Mike run the aesthetically pleasing i am a food blog. The site is mostly recipe-driven, but they do have a small travel section, and if their future travel-food-posts have any resemblance  their Tokyo food guide,  we are in for a treat.  (Dear Steph and Mike – Please travel  more !)

Best Photography Travel (Blogs)

Everything everywhere.

everything-everywhere-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  Gary Arndt. The man. The legend. One of the OG’s of the travel blogging world, Gary has turned Everything Everywhere into one of the most iconic brands in travel photography. There isn’t much more to be said.  Start here  and just get lost. Some of our favorites are his work in Jerusalem, Jordan, Antarctica, Lesotho, and the  most mind blowing gallery of them all – Namibia. 

  Traveling Lens

travel-through-the-lens-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick*  Vivienne Gucwa has earned her 2.5 million followers with her mind blowing travel photography. Her photos seem to come so naturally – intimate and unassuming. She is also a very talented writer and will accompany her photography with lovely prose  (example – There are sunrises that feel like heartbeats skipping in anticipation, when the heart skips in tune with the planets rhythm).  Just  click this link to her portfolio  and go nuts.

Finding The Universe

Lawrence and Jessica have the eye. While all of their photography is gorgeous, they seem to excel in landscape/natural photography. Some of their best work can be found in their  area-specific photography location guides  (a great idea by the way), in particular the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park.

Richard Bernabe

A nature photographer with few equals, this man can work a camera. There’s something special about his work… something captivating, something that seduces you, forcing you to get lost for minutes at a time within a single image, wondering where time just went.  Click here to understand what I mean.

Ken Kaminesky

Ken’s photos are wow . He clearly values his time in post-production, but the effort pays off, giving Ken a vivacious portfolio. The colors, the contrasts…. he has put together a resume of powerful images that truly resonate.

 Kirsten Alana

A gifted photographer and (as evidenced by her impressive list of clients) people have taken notice. While her travel photography is impressive, you gotta admit that the woman has johnsome natural/inexplicable  talent for taking world class shots of food

Ordinary Traveler

Established way back in 2009, Ordinary Traveler has a tremendous body of work – the highlight being their photography which goes hand in hand with the words ‘professional’ and ‘holy s**t’. Check out  their camera recommendations t o get an inside looks into their travel-photography gear.

Chase Guttman

Guttman won Young Travel Photographer of the Year three times…. Guttman was also named a Top Travel Photographer by the New York Institute of Photography and a 3 Best Travel Photography Blogger by USA Today.    Check out his portfolio , and a new book he’s authoring about drone-photography.

Best Language Learning Blog

Fluent in 3 months.

fluent-in-3-months-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick* The  authority  Language Hacker – we’ve been following Benny for years, and it’s awesome to see how big his site has become. Benny’s language learning philosophy is simple.  Just speak it, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes.  Sounds too easy to be true, but his 200,000+ member community should be evidence that it works. If you are interested in learning a new language, start with the  Language Hack page .

Best Storyteller Travel Blogs

The-Travel-Stories-100-Best-Travel-Blogs

The Travel Stories

*Staff Pick* The Travel Stories are much like you’d expect – a series of travel stories. But the cool thing is it’s a publication with a conglomerate of guest writers putting forth their craziest, most adventurous travel tales. And let me tell you, they don’t fail to impress. Read  this epic story about two dudes canoeing through the Congo . Then read this epic-er story about two dudes motorbiking from Edinburgh to Cape Town. Unreal stuff.

 Johnny Vagabond

RIP Wes. Wes Nations (aka Johnny Vagabond) was the best travel story teller on the web, and had one of the best travel blogs ever. He was a travel-blogging pioneer, but tragically passed away in late 2014. Some people inherently understand the tone and timing needed to deliver a great, captivating story – Wes was one of those people. He traveled the world for years  and was an enormous influence on us to start blogging. His  oddball travel conversations  are classic, and  his  real  travel tips are legendary (especially #4).

The Everywhereist

Part travel blog, part love story, part memoir in the making, Geraldine Fisher’s The Everywhereist is an amazing read. Her writing is raw, unfiltered, utterly hilarious, but most importantly – uniquely her own. Non travel –  her revenge on her husband for leaving the milk out . Travel –  her time in Italy .

Time Travel Turtle

An Australian broadcast journalist turned full time traveler, Michael runs Time Travel Turtle. While he’s recently been spending more time on his podcast, his travel stories are our favorites. In particular his two part series about  the world’s oldest backpacker  is gorgeous and very inspiring.

Never Ending Footsteps

Lauren’s secret for success? Travel the world, write about it, while ensuring to constantly poke fun at herself. Nicely done! GORGEOUS design, and strong storytelling to match, Never Ending Footsteps is simply a great travel blog with even better stories ( this one comes to mind ).

Best Tech Travel Blog

Too many adapters.

too-many-adapters-100-best-travel-blogs

*Staff Pick* Too Many Adapters is our highest recommendation for a travel-tech blog. Dave Dean and Dustin Main have done well identifying the tech needs of travelers, and their site is a pandoras box of information. Their content is thorough and digestible.

Their blog posts are specific and informative, but their bread and butter is their picks for top travel gear.  In particular, their takes on accessories, and smartphones

Anil Polat is Fox Nomad, a travel blogging, computer security engineer who is great for travel-tech-tips. His travel blog posts are great, but we like to check in with his blog every now and then to see  what tech equipment he personally uses for his travels.

Also, his check out his newly developed  WiFox app – it’s killin’ it right now.  Props Anil!

Indie Travel Podcast

Kiwis husband and wife Craig and Linda have been traveling and running Indie Travel Podcast for (brace yourself) 10 years. 10 years. Over the decade ITP has done well for itself, sporting a well-oiled blog, and over 300 podcast episodes! Charming and intelligent, if you’re looking to listen to some travel goodness,  they’ve probably got you covered. 

Zero to Travel

Jason Moore’s Zero to Travel is quite good. He covers a variety of topics from up and coming travel destinations (good looks on Georgia, it is popping up on the radar) and location independence – amongst much more. We like his tone. Very positive. Good vibes. Good energy. This is a nice place to start.

The Budget Minded Traveler

Founded by Jackie Nourse, the name says it all. Split between the podcast and the blog, there is an epic amount of content on this site. Budget guides, travel tips,  working abroad  – all with the intention of cutting down the cost of travel. Things seem to be going well for the site as The Budget Minded Traveler now has a team of contributors and their first tour – 8 days through Patagonia.

Extra Pack of Peanuts

Run by Travis and wife Heather, Extra Pack of Peanuts is a very well reviewed podcast covering topics from Travel Hacking and destination guides all over the world. Their podcasts are enjoyable, yet informative, and they’ve had some pretty impressive guests  (Chris Guillebeau comes to mind.)

Travel Sauro

Travel Sauro is home of the self proclaimed  ‘best tips for hiking routes off the beaten track’ –  and the site doesn’t disappoint. Well designed, easily navigable, and with great content to match, Travel Sauro is amazing. Creator Miguel has hiked around the world, evidenced by his guides to hiking in Patagonia, the Himalayan Mountains, and  Papua New Guinea. 

The Hiking Life

Cam Honan has been dubbed  ‘the most travelled hiker on earth’,  and it might just be true. Reigning from Australia, Cam’s site is a reflection of his international hiking experience, and has an epic amount of information for new and experienced hikers. Start with his 100 Classic hikes from around the world. It’s beyond impressive.

Travel with Bender

Erin (mom), Josh (dad), have been traveling the world with their young children Mia (daughter) and Caius (son) since 2012! Their blog is described as The Ultimate Guide for Family Travel… and we have a hard time refuting that description. The articles are well written, and the site is easily navigable. Interested in family travel?  This will answer all of your questions.

Y Travel Blog

Arguably one of the biggest names in travel blogging, Y Travel is nothing short of an institution. Caz and Craig have turned their blog into one of the most recognizable brands in travel, and specialize in solo travel and digital nomadism. Now with two kids, much of their great content is family focused and are  an authority on the topic of family travel. 

Walking on Mom

The sister-site to Walking on Travel, Walking on Mom is a more intimate family travel site. As opposed to destination guides and travel tips, WOM focuses on mental health, wellness and boasting a large community of support  for families wanting to travel. 

Traveling Canucks

Another staple, Traveling Canucks has been blogging in 2008 and have been going very strong since. No longer nomadic,  TC shows families how to travel while having a home base . Their posts are thorough and full of useful information, and we like their matter-of-fact tone.

Best Europe Travel Blogs

The savvy backpacker.

This site is an authority on European travel, and has some of the best information for budget travel on the continent. The material is thorough, and research-driven, and there’s a crap ton of high quality content. Their accommodation and food and transportation guides are awesome, but their  ever growing city price index  is the feature of the site.

To Europe and Beyond

Marie-Eve Vallieres has done well putting together To Europe and Beyond. While it slightly caters to a more luxurious side, there is a lot of useful information, as Marie dives goes deep into the specifics of her European destinations. Having a particular affinity to Western Europe, it’s no surprise she’s got a lot of great content on France, Germany, and  the UK.

Best Italy Travel Blog

The roman guy.

Half travel blog, half tour company, The Roman Travel Guy is an authoritative site covering Italy, and more specifically, all things Rome-travel. As a local, he clearly knows his way around the country, as evidenced by his   Hidden Gems of Italy series.

Best Spain Travel Blog

Barcelona blonde.

England -> California -> Barcelona. Jessica’s Barcelona Blonde is full of awesome information regarding travel in Barcelona and Spain as a whole. Her writing is clean and personable, like speaking with a friend. Her  Best of Barcelona is a great place to start.

Best Turkey Travel Blog

Turkish travel blog.

The best Turkey travel blog is Turkish Travel Blog… Crazy right? It’s more than the name. Natalie has put together a very thorough resource (like this gem) for those interested in traveling to the land of Anatolia. But as extensive as the site it, we love her tone! No BS, just Turkey travel goodness, written in a very down to earth tone.

What do you think about our list? Got any thoughts on the bloggers mentioned? Leave a comment!  If we like what you gotta say, we’ll feature you in  this  article!

Best Asia Travel Blogs

Travelfish was launched in 2004 (let that settle for a second) and is still a dominant source of all things budget-Southeast-Asia-travel. They have maintained the integrity of their brand, while  having top-notch destination guides . We don’t usually do this, but since the line is so good, we’ll have them take it from here…  “if you’re an independent traveller planning a holiday in Southeast Asia, Travelfish.org is quite simply the most comprehensive resource available online.”  Touche.

Southeast Asia Backpacker

Another staple, Southeast Asia Backpacker has been around for a while. Both a blog and an actual printed publication, SAB has done well for themselves, now  expanding into South America  and Europe. Community-driven, SAB has a lifetime’s worth of content on all things Southeast Asia budget travel. Hover your mouse over their varying destinations to see what tickles your fancy (Cambodia and Vietnam are juicy).

Best Philippines Travel Blog

The poor traveler.

Yoshke and Vins have done well putting together The Poor Traveler. Their content is detailed, specific and seems well researched. While their destination guides span the globe, the amount of  content they have about the Philippines  is borderline intimidating. If you’re traveling to the land of 7,500 islands and need advice – look no further.

Best Thailand Travel Blog

Tieland to thailand.

First off – great website name. Second – if you are looking for information regarding Thai-travel, you’ll find plenty of useful information on TTT. Gorgeously designed and refreshingly easy to navigate, Tieland to Thailand is an authority on Thai-travel.  Start here.

Best India Travel Blogs

Global gallivanting.

If you are interested in traveling to India, start here. UK born, but now based in Goa, Anna spends a considerable amount of time in India, and a considerable amount of time  writing  about how to travel to India. Her writing is clean, but also very personal and enthusiastic. Her  guide for planning a trip to India  is a recommended place to begin.

The Shooting Star

Location Independent Shivya travels and writes about her adventures around the world, but we find her content on her home country to be the best. Her writing is clear, easy to digest, and filled with applicable travel advice. She’s written an incredible amount of posts about India, like  her great Alternative Travel Guide to Goa. 

Best New Zealand Travel Blogs

Backpacking matt.

Specializing in adventure travel (appropriate for New Zealand) Matt has put together an authoritative site for all things New Zealand.  15 Tips for First Time Backpacking NZ   is great, as is  NZ’s Top Five Backpacking Destinations. 

A Backpacker’s Tale

While a Backpacker’s Tale could fit into many travel-blogging categories, his recent move to New Zealand and newly minted tours in the country lead us to believe this will be the best fitting category (for now). Also,  his tips for backpacking New Zealand  are well put together.

Best Australia Travel Blogs

 travel outback australia.

Super niche, this blog is all about one thing – traveling the Australian outback like a local! And talk about thorough, Gary (national park ranger) and Amanda (anthropologist/writer)   live, travel, and breathe the Outback . Well written content with a humorous touch of personality, if you are dreaming about traveling to this part of Australia, we doubt you’ll find a better resource.

Rocky Travel

Italian born Michela fell in love with Australia in 2004, and since has created an impressive resource for aspiring Australia-travelers. Her site still has a ton of free information, and also offers an in depth eBook into Australia travel. If you’re looking to travel to the land down under, her advice on road trips,  top Australia destinations,  solo travel, and housesitting are all good places to start.

Best Americas Travel Blogs

Best usa travel blog, quirky travel guy.

Don’t let the name fool you. Yes, creator Scott has quirky taste, but he’s also an avid traveler who has written hundreds of posts about traveling in North America.  Every month he features a new location , most of which in the US, allowing him to go deep and really explore the area.

Best Canada Travel Blog

I backpack canada.

The name kindof says it all. Corbin Fraser backpacks Canada, and has put together a very impressive site for anyone looking into budget Canadian travel.  His FAQ should answer your Canada questions  and get you on the right track.

Best Peru Travel Blog

How to peru.

Very informative blogs

Sometime few blogs become very helpful while getting relevant and new information related to your targeted area. As I found this blog and appreciate the information delivered to my database.

I’m into my 13th year now of travel blogging and the key for me is keeping it going and always striving to be better than the day before. Thankfully the real writers and bloggers who were writing with pens (yes, kids) long before blogs or the internet existed are the ones that continue to be successful. Those who got into it for money or by forcing themselves to write have faded by the wayside thankfully! Some good blogs here but also some sh*t ones! Honesty wins 😉 Safe travels. Jonny

3 Essential Elements of a Successful Travel Website

In our list below, you will find platforms in different niches, such as traveling around Europe, traveling on a budget, luxury vacations, and much more. Although the content may vary, successful travel resources usually have three things in common:

  • Attendance – The project must have traffic. The volume may vary for each niche for a blog to be considered successful.
  • Recognition – The audience is very familiar with the project or brand.
  • Confidence – Readers rely on the authors’ opinions and trust the information.

Remember that we cannot compare projects only in terms of traffic, as they compete inside their own niches.

We tried to collect the best travel blogs on the web in 2024 in various travel-related niches.

Best Blogging Site to Start a Travel Blog

When starting a travel blog, the first thing most people try to figure out is which site or blogging site they are going to use to make it. There are many options out there, but in this day and age, there is only one winner, WordPress.

WordPress has long been recognized as the go-to platform for making your own website or blog. A lot of companies and businesses have started their websites on WordPress, and it is the platform of choice for almost every blogger across the globe.

If you have already decided to use WordPress, brilliant, if you are on the fence or have heard better recommendations for using other platforms, this post is for you. We will break down why WordPress is the best platform for your travel blog.

It is Free and Open Source

One of the biggest benefits of using WordPress is that it is free. You can use the basic platform and download plugins and themes for free. There are some more advanced themes and plugins that cost money, but for testing and trying out, it is completely free.

As well as being free, WordPress is open source. Open source meaning it is being constantly upgraded, improved and tested, and with hundreds of thousands of people across the globe specializing in WordPress, world-class support is only a click away.

Very Beginner Friendly

WordPress is designed to be used by anyone, and that means ANYONE. Whether you are a 55-year-old mom with zero blogging or CMS knowledge, or a 13-year-old wanting to start a blog on his favorite TV series, you can use WordPress with little to no problems.

WordPress does not require any coding knowledge to use or customize, if you want a new feature on your site, it is as simple as downloading and activating a plugin which will do all the complicated work for you.

WordPress can easily be called a drag-and-drop site, as most of the hard work is done automatically, and the most you have to do is input your information into the relevant box or drop-down, simple.

Themes and Plugins

One of the huge benefits of WordPress is that it allows third-party designers and programmers o upload their own themes and plugins, this means that their library for these aspects is enormous.

There is a theme that will suit any type of blog, blogger, and personality, and each is fully customizable. You can easily take a theme that has been downloaded 100 000 times and turn it into something completely unique.

The plugins are just as versatile. There is a plugin for absolutely everything you may want or need your blog to do or to look like. Whether you want your social media buttons on the bottom of the page, or to keep track of how many clicks you get between lunch and 2 pm on a Thursday, there is a plugin that will do it perfectly.

All these themes and plugins allow you to turn your site into an e-commerce store, a photography site, a hotel booking site, whatever you may need your website to do, you can customize it accordingly.

All these themes and plugins come with their own support system from the designers themselves, allowing you to have every query or question answered, as well as getting inside tips on how to fully utilize each theme or plugin.

Security Features

Considering WordPress is used to start important websites, blogs, and e-commerce stores that handle lots of money and contain a massive database of personal information, the site was designed with high security in mind from the get-go.

If you are still uneasy about security, there are many plugins that will add layer upon layer of security to your site to give you even more peace of mind. Security is not a problem with WordPress, and they ensure, with constant updates, that you are constantly protected.

Ranking in Search Engines

If you are making a blog for your business or company, you will most likely want it to be viewed and seen by as many people as possible. To do this on the internet, you need SEO to optimize your site to make it as search engine friendly as possible.

Once again, WordPress has these bases covered from the start. WordPress automatically ensures your website is fast and responsive and optimized for mobile platforms, keys for great SEO.

If this isn’t enough, there are a host of SEO plugins and tools you can install to ensure your SEO is always at its best. The best one on the market right now is Yoast SEO, which covers all the basic SEO bases as well as many more. Obviously, like most of WordPress, it is easy to use and understand.

Unparalleled Support

It has been mentioned numerous times just how easy WordPress is to use and how easy it is to set up a fully functioning website. There will, however, be sticking points that you just can’t fix, this is the WordPress community comes in.

WordPress has a massive support community that covers absolutely every aspect of the platform, and no matter what you are stuck on, there will be someone who can help you fix it.

WordPress have their own official support forums, online tutorials, and courses, support forums for each and every theme and plugin, as well as WordPress blogs, that go into every tiny detail of every aspect of the site.

WordPress is without a doubt the best platform for your travel blog or any blog for that matter. If you started reading this feeling unsure if it was the right option for you, it is clear that it is not only the right option but the only option too.

Main Blogging Platforms Review

All of the platforms above can be used to start a blog, but the websites/platforms below are specifically designed for you to have more control and customization – which is really important down the line.

If you plan on monetizing your travel blog, I would recommend starting it on a platform that you have control over and own, such as the ones mentioned below.

Tumblr is a good option if you just want to share photos and videos in a very simple and easy-to-use form (lacks things like plugins and customization).

Much easier to use (no coding required, just drag & drop content around). Your website will be a lot less customizable when compared to using WordPress, as you can’t modify the codes to your website.

This platform doesn’t have a free plan really, so it’s hard to get properly acquainted with it or take the leap. It’s easier to use than some of the platforms but it lacks customization. There is also not that much back-end maintenance with this kind of platform.

Blogger is one of the simpler platforms and that’s why it is pretty popular. It’s a platform that many bloggers start out on, then maybe move onto a more customizable platform or something that suits your needs better.

WordPress – More flexibility and highly customizable. Requires ongoing maintenance, higher initial learning curve, and more likely to have a higher financial commitment over the long run. Costs are less predictable, depending on whether you need to hire developers.

Medium is great if you want to share stories with nice imagery and it’s one of the cleanest. But you cannot log trips or connect with fellow travelers on this platform as easily as you can on other platforms.

WordPress is by far the best, I have tried many platforms in my quest to build the best travel website or get links for SEO.

If you not very serious about your blog and its just to show people where you going and what you up to, then I recommend any of the above but If you plan on having a blog for an extended period I would recommend getting good WordPress hosting from Siteground  or any other host which allows you the easy install and setup.

I think all the platforms have their pros and cons. It is hard to say which one of them is the best. However, I will continue to use each platform to log some trips and see if one particularly stands out from the rest.

In the end, I went to WordPress to start my new travel blog.

What do you think?

Is there a platform that you are using that is working well for you, or have I missed something? Leave it in the comments 🙂

How to Start a Travel Blog: The Complete Guide

how to start a travel blog

Many people dream about traveling the world for a living; and there are people that are actually able to do so that aren’t pilots, flight attendants, or businessmen. These people are known as travel bloggers and they get paid to visit and write about their major passion in life: travel.

Before you think it’s all a dream, it’s time to debunk a few myths and tell some truths about how to start a travel blog. 🏖

Travel Blogging Truths

Who wouldn’t want to be a travel blogger? Travel can be expensive and the idea of having someone else cover your costs is certainly enticing. But it’s not all about grabbing trips to Paris in first class. Travel blogging is just like a job .

Travel blogging isn’t easy. The fact that you’re traveling and getting paid to do so while staying in top accommodations is what most people see. They don’t realize that there are a lot of struggles that go hand-in-hand with figuring out how to start a travel blog.

Here’s what you need to know before getting started as a travel blogger:

  • It’s a saturated niche. Everyone wants to ride the wave of being a travel blogger, thinking it’s all rainbows and sunshine—that by virtue of having a travel blog (and a few followers), they can request comped stays at 5-star hotels. But it’s not that easy . There are plenty of travel bloggers that spent a long time building their empire before they took off to the point where they received any special perks (or compensation).
  • Many times, you’re behind your computer. Being a blogger is like having your own magazine and being the editor, photographer, writer, and stylist—all in one. Some bloggers have teams now, but in the beginning, it will be just you . Taking and editing photos and/or video, write-ups, SEO , social media scheduling: all these tasks will require a fair amount of time stuck in front of your computer.
  • Writer’s block. Companies pay you for content, and to be a successful travel blogger, you have to follow deadlines like any regular job. Creating great content while at the same time, experiencing what every place has to offer isn’t easy, especially when you just want to relax and you’re on a tight deadline.
  • You won’t earn a fixed income. As with freelancing in general, you’re only as good as your next project. You’ll also have to think of travel blogging as an expense at the beginning. After all, how will you start writing about places you haven’t been to? You have to invest some money to do the traveling that will serve as the subject for your content.
  • If you’re a solo travel blogger, it can be lonely to go from place to place on your own. And since you aren’t in a place for too long, you’ll constantly make and break friendships and connections.
  • Not knowing what’s next. Becoming a travel blogger may seem exciting at first, but you have to be constantly planning for what’s next. There may be a time where travel loses excitement or you run out of funds and you’ll need to plan accordingly.

If you just want to learn how to start a travel blog for the sake of sharing your travels, then these truths may not apply to you. Your expectations and ambitions will be based on self-fulfillment (and perhaps sharing your adventures with friends and family) more so than building a brand to appeal to sponsors.

How to Start A Travel Blog

Not scared away by the harsh truths of travel blogging? Here’s how to start a travel blog, step by step:

Hippie in Heels travel blog

Choosing a Niche

There are two basic ways to get started: travel then figure out how to start a travel blog , or plan to start a travel blog then do the actual traveling . The motivation for the people in the former situation is likely just that they want an outlet to share their travels to family and friends, while the latter is more suited to those that plan to expand and monetize their travel blog in the future.

Like food blogs , travel blogs are a dime a dozen, so it’s best to start by choosing a niche (especially when you eventually want to earn from travel blogging) that will help differentiate you from the pack, since general travel blogs will usually not fare well when it comes to SEO efforts.

Travel Blogging Sub Niches

There are so many travel blog niches you can think of and fill a need for. To some, their niche comes naturally. For others, it could take a while to make a decision. Here are some questions you can ask yourself when determining a niche for your travel blog:

  • Why do I want to blog?
  • What am I passionate about telling or teaching to others?
  • What are my skills, strengths, interests, and expertise?
  • Can I write about this topic for a long time? The niche shouldn’t be too broad or too narrow.

If you’re looking for inspiration, here are some of the more popular travel niches:

  • City blogging: Focused on your city (you don’t have to travel that far, and you perhaps know the topic better than most)
  • Country-focused: Destinations around the country
  • Area/Region: Like South America or Southeast Asia-focused
  • Demographic-focused: Like travel blogs specifically targeted to Americans/American passport holders
  • Budget travel
  • Luxury travel
  • Solo travel
  • Female travel
  • Traveling for work
  • Adventure travel
  • Family travel
  • Empty nesters/traveling for seniors
  • Traveling with disabilities

Or if you’re really ambitious, you can even blog about your worldwide journey, as Gary Arndt has done on Everything Everywhere . He sold his house in 2007 and has been traveling around the world ever since (over 175 countries and counting).

Travel blog around the world

To be sure that someone will want to read your blog, search for your competition (to validate if there’s an existing audience for your idea). You might even want to utilize a tool like Ahrefs  or BuzzSumo to look up some of the most popular content in a niche, such as “Traveling in South America,” to get an idea of what other bloggers are writing about. Then ask yourself, can you do this better?

Traveling in South America

Alternatively, you may want to try and be the first in your niche. If you can, find a gap in the market. If you find yourself asking “Why hasn’t anybody done this?”—do it yourself!

Most bloggers market themselves as brands. Your brand is what you’re known for and known as. It’s what makes people say “That is so XX!” when they see a piece of your content.

Aspects of blog branding include:

  • Your blog name and niche
  • Your blog’s overall look: the theme, fonts, logo, color palette, images you use, and so on
  • The voice of your writing

Coming up with your Blog Name

Your blog name is important because it’s also what your blog is known as (your brand). While you’ll be able to change many things about your blog over time, your name is something you should stick with. Give it a fair amount of thought before deciding on it.

Not sure what to call your shiny new travel blog? You might start with your own name, a play on that name, or a mix of your name and travel-related terms. A few general rules for settling on a blog name (which will also be your domain name):

  • It must easy to recall and easy to spell
  • It should also be not too long
  • It must not contain hyphens or numbers

For more tips, you can take a look at our guide:  How to Choose a Domain Name (8 Tips to Stand Out).

Some brilliant travel blog names to look to for inspiration include Nomadic Matt , which is about a guy who travels the world, Adventurous Kate , a blog about a girl who quit her job to travel the world, and The Blonde Abroad , which is about a solo female traveller who is (you guessed it) blonde. There’s also Tanks that Get Around , a travel blog/travel tank top shop.

Nomadic Matt travel blog

Setting up the Blog

A professional blog has three technical elements you’ll need to setup: domain name , blogging platform, and web host.

Choosing a Blogging Platform

There are many free blogging platforms out there, like Blogger, WordPress.com , and Tumblr. Any of these options is fine for a personal blog, but if you plan on monetizing your site, a self-hosted WordPress blog is your best bet .

The other platforms come with their own restrictions, but with a self-hosted WordPress site, you’re free to customize it completely. Self-hosted WordPress also allows you to grow and not worry about having to change platforms later if your travel blog suddenly becomes super popular. Read more about the differences between WordPress.org and WordPress.com .

WordPress powers 42.7% of the internet , is super user-friendly and has flexible customization options. It is used on many different kinds of websites , be they blogs, ecommerce sites, news portals, or business sites. Due to its open-source nature, WordPress is free to use, however creating and maintaining a site might cost you some money .

While the content management system you choose is free (assuming you choose WordPress), you’ll have to pay for your professional domain name and web hosting.

Choosing a Reliable Web Host

The web host is where you store your website’s files. Hosting plans can be as cheap as $4/month and can be upgraded to give you more storage space and bandwidth for visitors as your blog grows.

It’s important to choose a reliable and stable web host that does not have too much downtime. If you’re starting out, you might be better off with shared hosting, which means you’ll be sharing a server with other blogs. The downside is, your blog may load slower because you’re sharing resources with other websites. Also, you might have to spend more time fiddling with your site.

Application hosting , database hosting , and managed WordPress hosting through a company like Kinsta have its advantages for those interested in how to start a travel blog.

Since you’re on the go, the last thing you have time to worry about is downtime or messing around with your server. Additionally, you might not always have access to the best internet connection to fix things. Falling back on a reliable managed host might actually save you money.

You’ll also get access to a variety of tools which can make managing your site a lot easier, such as Kinsta’s custom dashboard .

MyKinsta

A few other things to look out for when deciding on a web host:

  • WordPress optimized
  • Good customer support
  • Automatic backups
  • Ample storage space

Read more about how Kinsta is different than other hosts.

Customizing the Blog’s Look

After you’ve installed and setup the free WordPress CMS with your web host, you can focus on setting up your blog’s look and feel—an important aspect of branding.

Customizing the following will help your travel blog become your own:

  • Theme: You can choose from both paid and free options . There are themes that cater specifically to travel blogs. When you’re just getting started, don’t overthink your blog’s theme. You might want to start with a free one first, because unlike your blog’s name, you can change the design later on .

How to Start a Travel Blog 6

To help with the process of choosing the blog’s overall look easier, you can make a branding board. A branding board includes:

  • Color palette : Have a set of 2 to 3 complementing colors (anything more would be distracting).
  • Fonts : 3 at most. Think one for your logo, one for headings, one for body copy.
  • Images that reflect what you want your blog to evoke when visitors drop by your site.

How to Start a Travel Blog 6

Increase Blog Functionality with Plugins

What attracts many users to WordPress is the customizability it offers thanks to plugins, which are codes you can install to add functionality to your site. Since you’re just getting started, defer to the experts. Blogging Wizard shares some of the must-have plugins that can help with SEO, analytics, backups , safety , and speeding up your blog .

There are also some plugins to consider that were created specifically for travel blogs. These include:

Travel Map

You might also want to add an Instagram plugin to show off your travel photos on your blog.

Instagram feed plugin

You might also consider installing affiliate plugins , but we’ll talk more about that in the latter monetization section.

Content Creation

The most important part of a blog is the content. Content shouldn’t just be confined to articles (or text); it can also take the form of photos (graphics, infographics), videos, and audio ( podcast ).

Of course, you shouldn’t start with all of these different types of content at once—it can be overwhelming. Instead, you can start adding new content types as your blog starts growing and you get the hang of running it.

To get some inspiration we recommend you to take a look at these guide:

How To Be A Solo Content Marketing Ninja

How to Create Evergreen Content That Lasts (17 Tips and Tricks)With WordPress

5 Things More Important for Your Content Than Content Length

There is no right or wrong way to write. Many people adopt a journal way of writing—telling people about their day or experience, while some go for how to guide types of posts.

The best kind of blogs are the ones that deliver a mix of content types. Many people that read travel blogs are after the information you can give them about a place, while your unique voice (which adds to the branding part of the blog) is what will draw readers to you.

If you plan to travel after setting up your travel blog, you can plot out what content to write, what places to feature, what angles to write about. Ideally, you’ll have at least 15 posts ready to go before launching. This will give you time to consistently release content as you work on your next pieces, while giving readers enough content to stick around and read.

Tips to Optimize Content for SEO

There’s no hard and fast rule for content length and ranking on Google but in general, the longer, the better.

Though the in’s and out’s of proper on-page SEO are outside of the scope of this article, here are a few quick hits for setting up content for success:

  • Use headings to organize your article (and to strategically make use of keywords )
  • Write titles that people will pique people’s curiosity so they will share your post, but don’t be clickbaity (meaning, truly back up the article with great content). Also, write titles the way people search.
  • Use keywords in URL slugs

For a more advanced study of SEO (that’s still beginner-friendly), check out our SEO checklist  and some recommended SEO plugins  you should start off.

Asher Fergusson, a successful travel blogger, and Kinsta customer said that the secret for his rapid growth in organic search rankings was to conduct a controversial research study. After having a nightmare Airbnb experience with his wife and 10-month-old son in Paris he decided to review over 1,000 horror stories to see what’s most likely to go wrong. The resulting article titled, “ Is Airbnb Safe? ” led to being featured on the front page of Reddit and was picked up by dozens of mainstream media outlets. This boosted the SEO strength of his entire website.

Photography

People are visual creatures, which is why platforms like Instagram and Pinterest are so successful and growing at a rapid pace .

Taking great photos or videos that make viewers feel like they are there or will want to be there will attract more visitors to your blog. The photos will also be used for your blog promotion; pretty photographs with catchy titles attract people on sites like the aforementioned Pinterest.

While you’re thinking about images, don’t forget to optimize your images , both for performance and for SEO . You can’t just upload full resolution photos to your blog and expect them to load fast. You’ll need a little help from an optimization tool or plugin. Name your files something meaningful (and short), as Google looks at things like these when it chooses what to index for Google image search. Which tools and how to showcase your photos you can read our guide:  8 Best WordPress Photo Gallery Plugins .

Optimize photos for travel blog

There are three main ways to promote your blog:

  • Social media: The easiest way to promote your travel blog is through your own network, but social media, with hundreds of millions of monthly active users, is also known for targeted advertising, meaning that it can help your content reach the people most likely to care about it. Hand Luggage Only’s Instagram is a great example of a beautiful travel photo diary. Another awesome platform where you can promote your content is Pinterest. We wrote a detailed guide on the best Pinterest marketing tips .

  • Traditional media: Getting featured on newspapers and magazines is good exposure, even for an online entity. In fact, this is how popular blogger Nomadic Matt quickly grew his following.
  • Search engines: The largest potential source of traffic, but comes with a lot of competition.

Writing guest posts is another way to get backlinks to your site from more prominent travel blogs. On another note, collecting email addresses and sending out email newsletters is an effective way to get more views because it gives you a direct connection with your subscribers (unlike social networks, which may restrict reach to your existing followers).

Nomadic Matt, arguably the most popular travel blog, recognized the potential for these tactics but went in a different direction . He pitched guest blog posts to finance blogs on how to save money traveling. He guest posted on entrepreneurship podcasts to talk about how he was able to build a business from his travel blog.

These tactics set himself apart from others, and also introduced his site to multiple different audiences.

Travel Blog Monetization

There are several ways to monetize your travel blog , but when you’re starting out, it can be tough. What many travelers (or digital nomads) do to sustain their traveling lifestyle while working on the road involves accepting jobs as virtual assistants, doing freelance writing, consulting, or offering some other type of service.

Ways to Make Money from Your Travel Blog

Besides using your personal brand to get clients for services you may be interested in offering, there are many other ways to make money from your travel blog:

  • Sponsored trips : Work with private companies or brands and tourism boards. Tourism boards usually want press to encourage more people to visit their country. They will usually pay for food, lodging, activities, and sometimes even airfare. Since they want resulting posts to reach a wide audience, this might only be offered to those with bigger followings. Some companies may also invite you to sponsored trips to launch their products—with everything paid for.

  • Workshops : After growing a following and being recognized as an expert, you may be invited for speaking engagements or workshops that you can charge for.

Travel Better, Cheaper, Longer

Points & Miles 101: A Beginner’s Guide to the Process

woman standing in front of departures board at Barcelona airport

These days, there are a million and one ways to make budget travel a reality. From embracing the sharing economy to working overseas or volunteering abroad to hunting down cheap flights , traveling has never been easier or more affordable. Even with the pandemic-related price increases, travel is still relatively cheap and there are lots of deals out there to be found.

But the most incredible way to lower your costs even further? Points and miles .

It’s something I’ve been doing for years, which has enabled me to earn more free flights and free hotel stays than I can count. And if you’re not doing it, you’re leaving a lot of money on the table and paying way more for travel than you should be!

What are points and miles?

Collecting points and miles involves signing up for travel credit cards and collecting credit card points, hotel points, and/or airline miles you can cash in for free flights, flight upgrades, hotel stays, transportation, and much, much more.

While there are a ton of advanced tips and tricks to out there (and we go over a lot of them in my guide on the subject), many people don’t even know where to start. The process seems daunting because of all the programs and credit cards out there. Which card do you get? How do you know you’re maximizing your points? And just how do you redeem them for rewards?

It’s a lot to wrap your head around.

But it’s a lot easier than it seems. By just tweaking how you pay for groceries, gas, and dining out, you’ll be able to start earning points and miles toward free travel today .

In this points and miles 101 guide, I’ll explain the basics, so you can stop leaving money on the table and start making your travel dreams a reality.

Here is how you get started:

Step 1: Figure out your goal(s)

The first thing you want to do when it comes to points and miles is to figure out your goal(s). What are you looking to achieve?

Are you saving for a big family trip? Do you just want the odd free economy flight or hotel here and there? Or are you more interested in a huge first-class upgrade? Or are you an avid flyer who wants perks, like lounge access and free upgrades?

There’s no wrong answer, so spend some time pondering this. If you just go into points and miles without direction, you’re going to get lost.

You’ll need to do this because it will help you pick the cards and spending strategies that will get you closer to your goal(s). There are hundreds of travel credit cards to choose from, and they all have their own pros and cons.

For example, if you’re a loyal flier with American Airlines, the best cards to start off with would be those that are AA branded. That way, you can jump-start your point balance as well as get the perks that those cards come with (free checked bags, priority boarding, etc.).

If you’re looking to go to Europe on a United partner, you’ll want to apply for the cards that get you United or Star Alliance points.

Always like staying at a specific hotel chain? Get that particular brand’s card.

If you just want points to spend wherever you choose, get a Chase, Citi, Capital One, or American Express® Card, because you can use their points with a variety of travel companies.

Once you decide your goal(s), you can figure out the cards and programs that will get you there.

Step 2: Get a travel credit card

Once you know your goals to and what perks are important to you, you can start to browse for a credit card.

Note: Collecting points and miles is impossible without a credit card. You just cannot get enough points otherwise. Here’s everything you need to know about credit cards and why they aren’t as evil as society makes them out to be.

While many introductory cards are free, the best travel credit cards usually have an annual fee. However, this fee, which can range from $99 to $500, is usually waived for the first year. You can also often get it waived in subsequent years if you call and threaten to cancel the card. I do that often to avoid the fee.

Some things to remember before you apply for a card:

  • There is no perfect card — each has its pros and cons based on your goals. Don’t listen to blogs touting some card as “the best.”
  • Aim to get a card with a low annual fee and no foreign transaction fees (so you can use it abroad without paying extra).
  • Make sure the welcome bonus is attainable (more on that below).

Remember that you need to pay off your monthly balances to make it worthwhile, so only apply for a card if you’re able to pay off your expenses each month.

Here’s what the ideal card should have:

  • A huge welcome bonus – The best travel cards all offer a sizable introductory bonus. It will be these welcome points that jump-start your account and get you closer to a free flight or hotel stay. Typical travel credit card welcome bonuses range between 40,000 to 60,000 points, though sometimes they can be as high as 100,000. That’s why cards are so great: you get an instant balance of tens of thousands of points for very little work.
  • A low spending minimum – Unfortunately, in order to get the great welcome bonuses these cards offer, there is usually a required spending minimum in the first few months. I typically sign up for cards with a minimum spending requirement of $3,000 USD in a three- to six-month period. While there are ways to temporarily boost your spending, it’s best to get the bonus using normal day-to-day spending. Only apply for a card or cards that you can meet the minimum spend(s) on to qualify for the welcome bonus(es). (More on minimum spending requirements in the next step.)
  • An added category spending bonus – Most credit cards offer one point for every dollar spent. However, good credit cards will give you extra points when you shop at specific retailers, use their online portals, or, if it is a branded credit card, shop with a particular brand. This will help you earn points much more quickly.
  • Special travel perks – All of these travel credit cards offer great perks. Many will give you a special elite loyalty status or other perks. Collecting points and miles is not just about just getting points and miles, it’s about what else comes with the card that makes your life easier!
  • No foreign transaction fees – Credit cards are great to use overseas because you get the best possible exchange rate from them. But if you are paying a fee every time you use the card, then it’s less good. Nowadays there are so many cards offering no foreign transaction fees that you should never, ever, ever have to get one with a foreign transaction fee.

Step 3: Earn the welcome bonus

As mentioned, the most important part about signing up for a new credit card is to make sure you earn the welcome bonus. Most cards offer this bonus if you spend a set amount within the first few months of receiving a card (usually the first three months). These offers can be huge, often equal to the cost of a round-trip flight.

Obviously, it would be silly to pass up the chance at a free flight, so make sure you can meet the minimum spending requirement for the welcome bonus before you pick a card. If you can’t meet the spending requirement, there’s no point in signing up just yet.

That might mean waiting until your next big purchase (e.g., waiting until you need a new computer, a new couch, etc.) or waiting until a big holiday like Christmas or a loved one’s birthday, so you can earn more points than your normal spending.

If even that isn’t going to do the trick, you’ll need to get creative.

For example, when you go out for dinner, pay for the bill on your credit card and have everyone pay you back. That way, the cost will go toward your minimum spending requirement. Additionally, if any friends or family are planning big purchases, ask them if you can put them on your card so you can get the points. That’s another easy way to meet the minimum spend without having to shop til you drop.

Step 4: Maximize your category spending

Most travel credit cards offer category bonuses. That means that instead of getting just 1 point per every dollar spent, you might get 2 or 3 or even 10 when you shop in particular categories. Restaurants, supermarkets, and gas are three of the most common ones, but there are lots more too.

To maximize your points, always use the right card for each purchase.

If you just have one card to start, just put everything on that card to maximize your points. Once you start branching out and have a few cards, just keep track of the main category bonuses so you don’t miss out by using the wrong card. Earning double, triple, or even 10x the points can drastically speed up your earnings, so don’t skip out on the category bonuses!

Step 5: Redeem your points and miles

It’s time to cash those points in and make your travel dreams a reality! Depending on your spending and financial situation, maybe you’ve been able to save up enough in just a few months. Maybe it’s taken you a couple years. Either way, it’s time to reap the rewards! (If you want to learn more on how to do that, get this guide I wrote .)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Now that we’ve laid out the steps, I wanted to answer some common questions I get about collecting points and miles.

Can non-Americans collect points and miles? Yep! While the US definitely has the best travel cards, many other countries have similar cards too, including Canada, the UK, Australia, and most of Europe.

Start by checking with your local airline to see if it has a branded credit card. You can also check in with your bank and ask what cards are available. Every country is different, so you’ll need to ask around to get the ball rolling.

Here are some posts to help you get started:

  • How to Collect Points & Miles in Canada
  • How to Collect Points & Miles in Australia & New Zealand
  • How to Collect Points & Miles in the UK

Do I need to pay off my bill every month if I want to do this? Yes. Credit cards charge huge interest fees, which will eat up whatever small benefit you get from the points.

Can you collect miles even if you have bad credit? Yep! You’ll likely need to start slow, with a card that doesn’t have amazing perks. However, over time, you can build your credit up as long as you’re paying off your bill every month. If you have bad credit, start with a prepaid or secured credit card to build back your credit.

Does opening a new card hurt my credit rating? Opening or closing a lot of credit cards at once can hurt your credit. However, applying for a few credit cards over a period of time won’t ruin your score. Sure, it will slightly dip every time there is an inquiry, whether for a credit card or home loan or car loan — that’s how the system is set up. But so long as you space out your applications and pay off your bills each month, you won’t find any long-term damage to your credit. I have dozens of cards and apply for and cancel them regularly, and my credit score is excellent.

Collecting points and miles can be intimidating, but it’s really just the art of being smart with your spending on the right one or two credit cards. You don’t really need to do more than that. While you can also dive much deeper in the game (some people really go down the rabbit hole on this!), it’s not all that necessary.

Don’t leave money on the table. Get a card, earn the welcome offer, maximize your points — and then do it all over again! Eventually — with no unnecessary spending — you’ll reach your goal and get to enjoy some awesome travel perks!

Book Your Trip: Logistical Tips and Tricks

Book Your Flight Find a cheap flight by using Skyscanner . It’s my favorite search engine because it searches websites and airlines around the globe so you always know no stone is being left unturned.

Book Your Accommodation You can book your hostel with Hostelworld . If you want to stay somewhere other than a hostel, use Booking.com as it consistently returns the cheapest rates for guesthouses and hotels.

Don’t Forget Travel Insurance Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past. My favorite companies that offer the best service and value are:

  • SafetyWing (best for everyone)
  • Insure My Trip (for those 70 and over)
  • Medjet (for additional evacuation coverage)

Want to Travel for Free? Travel credit cards allow you to earn points that can be redeemed for free flights and accommodation — all without any extra spending. Check out my guide to picking the right card and my current favorites to get started and see the latest best deals.

Need Help Finding Activities for Your Trip? Get Your Guide is a huge online marketplace where you can find cool walking tours, fun excursions, skip-the-line tickets, private guides, and more.

How to Make Money Travel Blogging: 10 Ways I Monetized My Passion

By Will Hatton

Today, many folks dream of hitting the road and traveling the world while working remotely on their own business, as their own boss. It’s a path that has been heavily romanticized, and for good reason. To live life on your terms, choosing where you live and work from, is a truly liberating experience. But to get to this promised land is a challenge, and most folks who try to build an online business are ultimately not successful.

I'm the founder of The Broke Backpacker , one of the world’s largest travel blogs, and I'm a serial entrepreneur with over a dozen different online ventures under my belt. I started my own journey fifteen years ago while backpacking the world on a budget of just $10 a day, and since then I have learned a TON about what does and what doesn’t work when trying to build an online income.

How I became a travel blogger

Embarking on my own journey as a broke backpacker, I was hungry for both adventure and great stories. I found I had a passion for writing in-depth reports of what it was truly like to be living in a tent, hitchhiking, couch surfing, and basically living like a hippy around the world. I was passionate about the potential for personal development through challenging travel that threw me out of my comfort zone and I used this passion to build up my travel blog and to launch some other projects along the way.

Simply being on the road as a young and naive teenager without two cents to rub together presented me with numerous challenges. I took a good number of risks and made pivotal decisions that transformed this passion project of mine into a sustainable source of income. From refining my niche to leveraging productivity systems, each decision was a stepping stone toward building a sustainable and successful business.

I am sharing some of the key decisions that propelled my humble travel blog for budget backpackers into a profitable business with an audience of over 1 million users a month. So, fasten your seatbelts and join me as we explore the pivotal moments that transformed my budget travel blog into one of the internet’s best-known travel sites.

10 strategies I used to build my travel blog into a business

1. investing in a catchy domain name.

It may sound simple, but let's be honest—picking the right brand name is a pivotal decision for any business. The Broke Backpacker is a memorable name that immediately tells the audience what the site is about. It also has a personal element to it.

This not only helped me establish a strong brand identity but also attracted the right audience from the get-go: people who wanted to go backpacking, but were pretty broke.

Back in the day, 10 years ago when I first started this blog, there was hardly any content online about traveling on an extreme budget. Indeed, most travel blogs talked about traveling on a budget of $50 a day (so $1500 a month) after flights. This was way more money than I ever had access to and I’m glad, as it pushed me down a different path. Ultimately, I saw a sizable gap in the market.

By aligning my domain name with my niche, I positioned myself early on as a trusted resource in the budget travel space, drawing in readers who resonated with my content and message.

2. Embarking on crazy adventures

One of the game-changing decisions I made was to embark on extraordinary adventures that captured the attention of both readers and the media.

I explored and covered off-the-beaten-path destinations like Venezuela when not many were doing it—especially with the same level of detailed, raw coverage that I brought to the game. Some of my photos in Venezuela went viral and this was a crucial moment for me.

By undertaking epic journeys like embarking on an attempt to travel from the UK to Papua New Guinea overland, I managed to attract the attention of powerful media like the BBC and The Daily Mail , scoring the first powerful backlinks that helped ramp up The Broke Backpacker’ s value in Google’s eyes and helped me build some more monthly traffic.

I also documented my adventures on Snapchat, taking my audience with me as I hitchhiked across Iran, hiked deep into the Pakistani Himalayas, and drove a rickshaw all around India. I was raw and real in my videos, often enjoying a cheeky smoke on camera and always trying to tell it how it is.

The exposure and credibility gained through these adventures propelled my blog's visibility and opened doors to new opportunities.

3. Launching expeditions to Pakistan

In 2015, I visited Pakistan for the first time. I was broke (big time) and I covered everything on my Snapchat. I was the first blogger to do this, and the first in Pakistan for a LONG time. My audience was stoked to see this misunderstood part of the world.

I went back there a second time in 2016. I turned to my audience on Snapchat and asked if folks would be interested in seeing this amazing country with me as their guide.

I put up a PayPal link to secure deposits and overnight it sold out. I suddenly had $6000 (12 x $500 deposits) in the bank, which I immediately spent on trying to grow The Broke Backpacker, reasoning that I had six months before I led the first tour and therefore time to make it back.

It was a pretty big risk but…I made it work.

4. Being authentic

Authenticity pays off, and it has been a cornerstone of my success.

I made the conscious decision to openly talk about topics that are often considered taboo, such as drug use and things that real people do in the real world. I felt like travel blogs often hid such things, and I made an effort to always be transparent.

By sharing authentic stories and vulnerabilities, I created a deeper connection with my audience. People related to the raw and unfiltered nature of my content, and this genuine approach built up a lot of trust and loyalty among my readership.

Being authentic and true to my personality allowed me to build a strong community of people who appreciated my transparency and valued the realness I brought to the table.

5. Going ALL in

I think perhaps what separates successful entrepreneurs from those who dream of working for themselves but struggle to make it work is their refusal to give up and their ability to fully commit to a project.

I spent two years in Chiang Mai working 60 to 70 hours a week. During that time, I had to put my travel goals and dreams on hold and focus solely on working tirelessly. It's ironic that in order to be successful in running a travel blog, I had to temporarily step away from the road and dedicate more time to writing posts, designing strategies, organizing standard operating procedures (SOPs), cultivating relationships, and hiring writers. There was so much involved in that stage, and I made numerous sacrifices.

I vividly remember feeling incredibly anxious and worried, often struggling financially to the point where I couldn't afford to eat or do much else. I had traded the freedom, joy, and personal development of being on the road for a desk, where I became my own boss and worked relentlessly. I faced significant internal struggles with self-belief and self-talk, constantly questioning whether all the hard work would pay off.

Throughout it all, I managed to hold on to the belief that it had to work because I had reached a point where I had no other options. I had borrowed money that I could only repay if I succeeded. The pressure on me was immense, but ultimately, it galvanized me to do whatever was necessary to achieve my goals.

6. Building an awesome team and knowing when to outsource

The Broke Backpacker is huge. It has about one million monthly visitors and 3,000 unique posts. Building a team to help me organize and think of projects and bounce ideas around has been crucial to my success.

Every cent I earned along the way, I invested in hiring and expanding my team. Now, I am proud to have an incredible team of broke backpacker adventurer folks—and let me tell you, they do a stellar job at keeping the show running.

Knowing when to outsource tasks allowed me to focus on my strengths and allocate resources effectively. By assembling a team of expert vagabonds, I enhanced the quality of my content, expanded my reach, and freed up valuable time to explore new opportunities.

With them, I’ve managed to build systems that work, develop a ton of standard operating procedures for new hires and projects, and all of that combined has been the foundational force behind the scalability and success of my blog.

Recognize the power of collaboration and the value of expertise. Hire good people, focus on honesty, work ethic, and creative flair over experience. Trust your gut, not everybody can be trusted.

7. Leveraging the power of existing traffic

Over the years, I realized my blog was bringing in considerable traffic to our affiliate partners in the gear space, so I decided to capitalize on that.

I ventured into the world of dropshipping and started designing my own lines of backpacker essentials like hammocks and quick-dry towels under the brand name Active Roots.

This strategic move not only allowed me to diversify my revenue streams but also solidified my brand presence in the travel industry. It was successful for a while until Covid started and made it impossible to sustain, as shipping costs increased by 400%. Sadly, I had to throw in the towel on that business.

But now that the storm has passed, I’m already working on an upgraded version of that business that is aligned with the evolving demands of my audience, including a new line of Broke Backpacker Basics.

8. Going physical

The online world can be very fun, and I’ve dabbled in a lot of interesting business models and creative ways of building an income. Driven by my passion for online entrepreneurship, I recently ventured into creating a physical business that catered to my audience’s evolving needs.

I am passionate about the power of online entrepreneurship to change lives and raise people out of poverty. For a long time, I had dreamed of opening a business that would act as a beacon, a hub, and a muster point for aspiring entrepreneurs and digital nomads to find their tribe, as well as sleep, eat, work, and play.

In 2022, after a few challenging years, we finally managed to open Tribal, Bali’s first custom-built co-working hostel. I’m thrilled to say that we’ve been getting great feedback, and we’re usually full.

This project allowed me to merge my love for travel, community building, and entrepreneurship. Tribal Bali became a hub for like-minded individuals, fostering collaboration and connection among digital nomads, as well as overall just being a kickass place for my nomad folks to get some work done.

9. Being disciplined

Being disciplined is a crucial skill for entrepreneurs and digital nomads to develop. Personally, I found that cultivating discipline was essential in building and managing a successful travel blog.

To achieve this, I focused on staying organized using tools like Google Calendar and Trello. I set clear goals for myself and identified the habits I needed to cultivate in order to reach those goals. I have whiteboards placed throughout my house, displaying various goals, affirmations, and reminders to keep me on track. Each evening, I review my habits and tick off the ones I successfully accomplished during the day.

I also employ a two-phone system to avoid getting too engrossed in my phone and ensure a proper winding down before sleep. The second phone is dedicated to music, audiobooks, and podcasts, devoid of any social media or communication apps. Ultimately, the key is to minimize distractions, maintain focus, and establish goals for each part of the day. I've spent the past 10 years cultivating these practices.

I've also developed a strategy to ensure that every aspect of my blog receives the attention it deserves. I break down all the necessary tasks over a three-month period and chip away at them on a weekly basis, even the ones I may not particularly enjoy. Honesty and self-awareness are important in recognizing both successes and failures.

It can be tempting to spend time on your online businesses’ social media, or endlessly designing a logo, but at the end of the day, there are essential tasks that only you can accomplish—the "big business domino" that needs to be toppled every day.

Cultivating discipline enables you to get things done, especially when faced with challenges. It helps you focus and avoid unnecessary distractions. This skill is paramount for any aspiring entrepreneur.

10. Being patient

During Covid, the site's monthly user count plummeted from 1.5 million to a mere 200,000. Travel-related search traffic took a massive hit as well. Even when looking at it from a percentage standpoint, the revenue generated from the remaining traffic wasn't as expected. While some people continued to search for travel-related terms, bookings for hostels and purchases of gear were virtually non-existent.

The entire world was in a state of anxiety and uncertainty.

In such circumstances, there was no choice but to double down and fully commit. We utilized that time to rebuild the site, making it faster, leaner, sexier, and smoother. Previously, it had become a Frankenstein-like creation, initially designed by me and later worked on by various developers who never communicated with each other.

Over a six-month period, we rebuilt it from the ground up. We also expanded our team of writers, focused on revamping different content series, and updated older posts. Fortunately, our efforts paid off, but it was undeniably a nerve-wracking experience to double down when everything seemed to be falling apart.

I firmly believe that if you aspire to succeed and create something remarkable, you have to go ALL in.

FAQs about creating a travel blog

How can i monetize my travel blog.

Display ads are a good way to start generating income, though they might deter some readers. My suggestion is to start by joining affiliate programs for brands you love and find ways to plug them as hard (and as softly) as you can.

Is travel blogger a good career?

Starting a travel blog can be an extremely rewarding career, though you really have to be passionate, patient, and persistent. With the right mindset, ahead of you await plenty of travel, income, and creative expression opportunities.

What should I include in my travel blog?

Start by asking yourself what is your speciality or travel superpower. Finding the right niche is more effective than going broad. Perhaps you know a specific destination/region better than anyone, or a style of travel. Start there, study the competition, and create something better.

Best 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger Belkin BoostCharge Pro 2-in-1 Read more

Keeping your iPhone topped up can be a challenge, but the clever magnetic MagSafe system means you don’t need to fumble with cables or worry about a wireless charging sweet spot. Apple’s MagSafe is an accessory system integrated into the iPhone 12 , iPhone 13 , iPhone 14 , and iPhone 15 range . A ring of magnets on the back of the phone (and in MagSafe-enabled cases) allows you to attach MagSafe chargers that can recharge your iPhone wirelessly.

Snag a MagSafe charger for your nightstand, work desk, and car, and you can easily top up throughout the day. These are the best MagSafe chargers we've tested. (And yes, if you have an Android phone with a MagSafe case , some of these chargers may be compatible and do the job.)

Best MagSafe Charger

The new Qi2 wireless charging standard , developed with Apple’s input, brings MagSafe-style magnetic charging and a 15-watt charging rate. Sadly, most third-party MagSafe chargers with a puck-shaped design charge your iPhone at a slower rate (7.5 watts), but you won't have to worry about that with this 15-watt Anker charger. Few phones beyond Apple’s MagSafe lineup (iPhone 12 and later) work with the magnets today, but Qi2 is backward compatible. This pad from Anker stays put, has a durable aluminum casing that stays relatively cool, and has a 5-foot USB-C cable permanently attached, giving it the edge over Apple’s official MagSafe puck , which only has a 3-foot cable. It can also charge AirPods that have a magnetic charging case.

15-watt charging, 5-foot cable, wall charger not included, two-year warranty.

Best MagSafe Stand

Striking the perfect balance between heft and magnetism is tricky, but Nomad nails it with its new stand. It's heavy enough that you won’t knock it over when you fumble for your iPhone, and you can peel it away from the charger one-handed. The stand comes in black or white and feels sturdy, featuring an aluminum and glass body with rubber padding. It is officially Qi2 certified , so it can charge any Qi2 phone (including all the MagSafe iPhones) at the maximum 15-watt rate. It can get a little warm when charging, but not unusually so. You get a high-quality braided cable in the box, but you will need a 20-watt wall charger. We like Nomad’s 20-watt charger ($20) , but I can’t help feeling it should have been included at this price.

15-watt charging, 6.6-foot cable, wall charger not included, two-year warranty.

Best MagSafe Pad

Folks who prefer a pad should consider Nomad’s Base One. Like the stand, it's sculpted from metal and glass with rubber padding and has enough weight that you can pick your MagSafe iPhone off of it with one hand. The Base One is also officially MagSafe certified to charge at the maximum 15-watt rate, and you get a lovely braided cable in the box, though you need to supply your own 20-watt charger. If you don’t care about the 15-watt charging rate, perhaps because you charge overnight, you can opt for the regular Nomad Base and save some cash. It has a similar design and is MagSafe compatible, but tops out at 7.5 watts for iPhones. Stock seems to be fluctuating for the Base One, but you can get a notification when it's available again.

Best 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger

Our favorite 2-in-1 MagSafe charger is perfect for charging your iPhone and AirPods (or any other wireless earbuds with wireless charging support). It has a wide, circular base with a shiny metallic post connecting the MagSafe charging pad. Ours is white, but there’s a black option too. Stick your iPhone on in landscape view, and you can enjoy StandBy mode , effectively turning your iPhone into an alarm clock. This charger can provide the top 15-watt rate and includes a power adapter with a 5-foot cable permanently attached.

15-watt charging, 5-foot cable, wall charger included, two-year warranty.

Best 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger

Folks with the holy trinity of Apple products will love Belkin’s 3-in-1 charging tree. It has a similar design to the 2-in-1 above, but the metal post is T-shaped, with a pad for your iPhone on one side and an Apple Watch spot on the other, plus a Qi-certified base for AirPods . It is fully certified to deliver 15 watts and can fast-charge capable Apple Watches . You can also pop your iPhone in landscape orientation if you want StandBy mode . There is a power adapter with an attached cable provided. Read our Best 3-in-1 Apple Chargers guide for more recommendations.

Anker MagGo Qi2 Travel 3in1 charger

Best for Travel

Space is at a premium when you travel, but Anker’s MagGo 3-in-1 folds away to an impressively compact form. It doesn’t scrimp on power, charging your iPhone or Qi2-certified phone at up to 15 watts on a magnetic pad that can adjust to your preferred angle. A second pad behind the main pad charges AirPods or other wireless earbuds, and there is a fold-out Apple Watch charger. You get a USB-C cable (around 5-foot) and a wall adapter in the box.

★ Alternative: Mophie's 3-in-1 Travel Charger With MagSafe ($150) is a nice option though it takes up a bit more space when it's unfolded. It folds neatly into a fabric case with a cable and charging adapter. It will fast-charge iPhones at 15 watts, and this updated model includes fast-charging support for the Apple Watch.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro Wireless Car Charger

Best MagSafe Car Mount

This simple MagSafe mount slots into any vent in your car and has a powerful magnet array that keeps your iPhone securely in place, even on bumpy roads. There’s a ball joint so you can angle your iPhone slightly for a better view, and it’s easy to place it on the mount and remove it one-handed. You get a 12-volt car adapter and a USB-C cable in the box. Vent mounts are unobtrusive and may help your phone keep cool. If you prefer something different, read our Best Car Phone Mounts and Chargers guide for more recommendations.

15-watt charging, 3.9-foot cable, car charger included, two-year warranty.

Best MagSafe Power Bank

Sling a MagSafe power bank in your bag, and you can attach it when you need to top up your iPhone battery. This power bank boosted my iPhone 14 Pro’s battery by 78 percent and took around three hours to charge (since wireless charging is not the most efficient method, you will never get the stated capacity of a MagSafe power bank). You can continue using your iPhone while it’s charged because it doesn’t add much bulk, and there’s a small fold-out kickstand for propping your iPhone in portrait or landscape orientation. Just ensure you get the newer (A1614) version, as it has the USB-C port on the side and can turn off if you just want to use it as a stand. Read our Best MagSafe Power Banks guide for more recommendations.

7.5-watt charging, 3.9-foot cable, car charger included, two-year warranty.

A Headphone Stand and Wireless Charger

Combining functionality is a great way to save desk space, and this headphone stand cleverly doubles as a MagSafe charger. There’s a stainless steel arm with a rubber section to lay your cans on and a MagSafe charging spot on the base. There’s also a USB-C port that you can use to top up your headphones or other devices. While you get a USB-C cable in the box, you'll need to use your own 20-watt wall charger.

7.5-watt charging, 3.3-foot cable, wall charger not included, one-year warranty.

View looking down at a bedside nightstand with a black magnetic wireless charger holding a phone watch remote and small...

Having a place to dump your keys, jewelry, and watch, and charge your phone and earbuds, can help you get out faster in the morning. This classy and roomy tray from Courant has a MagSafe spot for your iPhone, a secondary charging spot for your earbuds, and space for all your other daily essentials. I tried the black linen version, but you can opt for lighter shades or a leather finish (though it’s more expensive). The wireless charging is slow, but there is a spare USB-C port. There's also a bright, unnecessary LED on the back of this charger that I had to cover when using this on my nightstand.

It looks classy and neat, but the linen version picks up dust easily. WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu has the Leather-Saddle model—he says it doesn't show dust easily and looks great after months of use.

7.5- and 5-watt charging, 5-foot cable, wall charger included, one-year warranty.
