Legal nomads
I, myself, am a massive fan of ‘Legal nomads.’ This girl used to be a lawyer, and now she tells stories through her travel blog. She dedicates plenty of time to her blog by trying different foods on the road. She takes a lot of mouthwatering photos of food that attracts a lot of people. Moreover, she wrote a series called “Thrillable Hours.” This is about the lawyers who gave up being a corporate lackey for life on the road.
Notes from the road
Erik Gauger grabs the themes of city and country in the modern world on his blog “Notes from The Road.” He shares “the messy truth of travel, told by a regular guy.” His photography and writing skills are some of the best you will see online from an independent travel blog. You’ll get immersed in his stories for hours. He illustrates his travel blog in the form of sketches made with markers, watercolors, pens, and pencils. His illustrations have a way of capturing a place in the heart that travel photography cannot.
Wandering Earl
My kindred spirit, Earl, is a vagabonding wanderer. He loves to travel, blogging, and everything in between. I read Earl’s blog because he visits places significantly fewer people ever see and tells raw, honest travel stories that don’t coat the travel experience in sugar.
Very few travel blogs do that, and for that very reason, I think he’s one of the best travel bloggers out there. I’ve been reading him for many years, and he deserves to be featured! (He’s also one of the few travel bloggers I appreciate that doesn’t accept sponsored content or trips!)
Be my travel muse
Welcome to be a muse and traveler at the same time, ‘Be my Travel muse’ by Kristin. She is an adventurous solo female traveler and a resident expert on all things solo female travel. Also, she isn’t afraid to get off the overwhelmed path and journey to less-visited destinations, sharing her tips and tricks along the way. She takes incredible photos and also makes awesome youtube videos. She’s one of the most underrated YouTubers who film their travel journey out there if you ask me). She’s been traveling for over five years now and creates insightful, engaging content. Even if you’re not a solo female tourist, you’ll still enjoy her posts and exciting videos.
- The duo of travelers, ‘HoneyTrek.’
Honey Trek is a travel blog by Mike and Anne. They quit their jobs in 2012 to go on an extended honeymoon. Eight years later and they are still traveling on the road. They’ve traveled around the US on the street in their camper van, stayed at some of the most incredible camping sites in the world, and wrote the book on ultimate couples’ travel experiences. They’re an adventurous couple who love the outdoors and sustainability, and they share tons of advice on couples travel and long-term travel as well.
Meet Ciara, the solo traveler, ‘Hey Ciara’
She is a full-time solo female traveler who shares honest and insightful travel reflections. She’s been featured in major travel publications. She has many followers and readers who appreciate her straightforward style and honesty about black female travelers. She’s a good writer and produces a lot of valuable and helpful content.
Dan Flying Solo
One of the blogs that I admire a lot. He’s a travel blogger who was on the road for 1467 days between 2014-2018. He’s been to many countries like Portugal, Italy, Singapore, and mostly all Asian and European countries. His favorite thing about traveling is meeting new faces in new countries, trying out new cultures and traditions with different food tastes. His blogs are very informative about every country he’s been to.
A Broken Backpack
Mel, the owner of this blog, is also a very well-known travel blogger. She guides the best things to do and also accommodation guides to help you make the best of your trip. She can be your best guide in countries like Morocco, Aruba, Canada, Mexico, the United States, and many Asian and European countries.
Lili’s Travel Plan
This blogger is more like a nature lover. Mountains, animals, clouds, trees, parks are her thing in countries. She has traveled to places like Tanzania, Europe, Belgium, New York, Cuba, Vietnam, and many coolest ones! Her blog is suitable for adventurers. She explores the beauty of the world with a different view. The stories in her travel blogs are so catchy that they urge the viewers to visit those places.
My favorite Blonde Abroad, ‘The blonde Abroad.’
Kiersten’s site focuses on both fashion and travel. She gives tips and advises women on what to wear, pack, and see while traveling overseas and focuses more on higher-end, comfort travel. I love her blogs and think she is one of the best female travelers who provide you with much beneficial information.
‘Oneika The traveler.’
One of my favorite blogs talks about the “real” side of travel and is not afraid to get political. She talks about racial prejudice while traveling and discusses her life as a black female traveler. Most of the travel writings are from the perspective of white people, and it’s great to hear them from someone else. Not only that, her tips and tricks are also super helpful, and her writings and photos are stellar too.
The ‘Never Ending Footsteps’
Lauren is the most accident-prone traveler I acknowledge. Anything that can go awry does go wrong when she is traveling. She’s one of the most unfortunate travelers I know. But all that misadventure leads to some fantastic travel stories, and her blog is filled with funny tales that will keep you captivated for hours.
Additionally, she provides some beautiful, practical tips on travel and detailed expense breakdowns on how much she spends in each place.
Conclusion
In Conclusion, these are the best travel blogs that you should follow. Learning from them will make your experience as a travel blogger way better and secure in the future, so good luck with your travels!
