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
  • Travel gear
  • Destinations

Monetization Strategies

  • Display advertisements

  • Affiliate marketing ( Check: Best Travel Affiliate Programs )

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

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. 

Unlike bloggers who discovered the love for travel in their adulthood, Josh has always been a passionate traveler at heart. He created California Through My Lens to document his adventures with the online audience. 

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. 

  • Self-help 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

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.

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.

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

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.

52. The World Travel Guy

top 10 travel blogs

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!

Best of the Best Travel Blogs: My Top 10 Favorites

Last Updated: August 19, 2024

A green canyon with text overlay saying "MY 10 FAVORITE TRAVEL BLOGS"

Do you ever spend late nights staring into the bright glow of a computer screen, searching for inspiration through the adventures of other travelers?

I do. Quite frequently actually.

I’m obsessed with travel blogs that excite me and it’s keeping me up past my bedtime.

No, I’m not talking about ogling over Instagram models stretched out under waterfalls or watching giggly tourists with selfie sticks riding elephants – that’s not what I’m searching for.

I’m looking for heartfelt writing, meaningful adventures, awe-inspiring photography, authentic experiences, and above all else,  honesty about travel .

These  are the things that make me want to see the world.

This  is why I  started a travel blog  of my own.

The good news is that I’ve found a few bloggers who do all those things and do them  really  well.

That’s what this post is all about.

Let me share with you my favorite travel blogs that I’ve come across.

Each blogger is quite different than the next, but they are  all  capable of keeping you up late into the night, fascinated by the pictures they paint and the lives they lead.

#1 –   Wandering Earl

A screen shot of WanderingEarl.com as a top travel blog

Origin : 🇺🇸 U.S.A. Great for : Down to earth travelers and storytellers Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Wandering Derek Earl Baron has travel in his blood.

He’s been on the move constantly since 1999, with no signs of slowing down.

In fact, he wrote a blog post in 2012  asking his followers for advice on a potential ‘home base’ and, well, it’s 2024 and the guy still hasn’t decided yet.

Earl’s blog is clean and inviting, which brings its genuine content to the forefront.

He offers spot-on insight into the highs  and  lows of his life of constant travel, a refreshing perspective that’s all too often missing from mainstream sites.

While his humble approach to blogging hasn’t vaulted him into social media fame, I don’t think he ever craved the spotlight in the first place.

His honest and focused posts push all of us to hold ourselves accountable and become better travelers, and that’s why I think he’s the best overall travel blogger.

Posts I Dig from Wandering Earl:

  • A Rant About Travel, Awareness and Social Media
  • Please Don’t Be Afraid to Travel on Your Own
  • I’m Confused About Life Just Like Everyone Else

#2 –   Nomad Revelations

A screen shot of NomadRevelations.com

Origin : 🇵🇹 Portugal Great for : Desert wanderers and cultural connoisseurs Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

João Leitão’s destiny is to wander the Earth, and his free-spirited blog reflects just that.

He flows seamlessly throughout the world, entrenching himself in any and all cultures that he encounters.

He, like Wandering Earl, has been traveling since 1999 and has visited over 100 countries.

He’s got some serious mileage.

What intrigues me is that João’s favorite destinations — places like Mali, Nicaragua, and Uzbekistan — are almost always ‘the roads less traveled.’

Wherever he goes, João sheds light on rich cultures that most travelers wouldn’t think twice about passing over.

When I read Nomad Revelations, I feel that João wants the reader to see the world from an ever-evolving perspective and break down their mental travel barriers.

The depth of content he’s built up over 20 years is nothing short of incredible.

Posts I Dig from Nomad Revelations:

  • Moped in Sahara Desert – Moroccan Motorcycle Adventure
  • The Tatuyo – Incredible Life of a Surviving Amazon Brazilian Tribe
  • Visit Half Moon Island – Forsaken Humid Antarctica

#3 –   Expert Vagabond

A screen shot of ExpertVagabond.com as a top travel blog

Origin : 🇺🇸 U.S.A. Great for : Thrill-seekers and photographers Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Matt Karsten was an underpaid photographer in 2010, working gigs at used car dealerships and nightclubs.

Now, he’s among the most successful travel bloggers in the world.

How did he make that happen?

It helps that he’s a world-class photographer who seeks out extreme and obscure adventures – the types of trips most travelers shy away from.

Whether he’s  exploring the notorious Darien Gap  or  trekking deep into the mountains of Afghanistan , Matt constantly puts himself in heart-pounding situations and challenges his readers to do the same.

#4 –  The Broke Backpacker

A screen shot of TheBrokeBackpacker.com

Origin : 🇬🇧 U.K. Great for : Budget travelers and risk-takers Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Will Hatton is a man on a mission.

Three years ago, he was nearly out of money and his blog wasn’t taking off.

He saw his dream disintegrating, so he decided to double down and go for broke.

(It worked.)

Will now runs two incredibly productive websites, offers tours of Pakistan, thrives in the cryptocurrency trade, and just purchased land to build a hostel in Bali.

The content on The Broke Backpacker is witty, informative, and unapologetic.

Will isn’t afraid to dive head first into touchy subjects.

Sex,  drugs , (and more  drugs ) – to Will, it’s all fair game.

He inspires his readers through hilarious and motivating blog posts, and lays his failures and triumphs out for the world to learn from.

He’s honest, provocative, and never quits, and that’s why he’s one of the best travel bloggers around.

Posts I Dig from The Broke Backpacker:

  • 72 Lessons from 9 Years Traveling
  • Why Every Backpacker Should Travel With a Tent
  • 10 Reasons You Should Travel to Pakistan

#5 –  Nomadic Matt

A screen shot of NomadicMatt.com as a top travel blog

Origin : 🇺🇸 United States Great for : City dwellers and beginner bloggers Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Nomadic Matt Kepnis is a travel blogging powerhouse.

His resource-heavy website exists to help  any  style of traveler from  any  walk of life.

He was one of the first in the business to make it big, but success hasn’t slowed him down.

He remains engaged and enthusiastic with his many thousands of readers, which is what helped him succeed in the first place.

Matt wants other bloggers to flourish, and you can see it in his writing.

He recognizes and embraces the fact that he’s a leader in the travel blogging community, and shares the limelight.

His site is abundant with high-quality posts from other talented bloggers from around the world.

Reasons like these are why I’ve come to rely on his blog as a tremendously relevant and useful resource for me as I follow my own path.

Posts I Dig from Nomadic Matt:

  • The Ultimate Guide to Traveling When You Have No Money
  • 12 Things Not to Do When You Travel

#6 –  Atlas and Boots

A screen shot of AtlasandBoots.com

Origin : 🇬🇧 U.K. Great for : Outdoor enthusiasts and environmental activists Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Peter Watson and Kia Abdullah are a travel blogging power couple.

Whether they’re trekking  Africa’s Grand Canyon  or exploring  abandoned diamond-mining towns,  they constantly find themselves in eye-opening destinations.

The two work well together, and it shows through their swath of impressive content.

Kia is a professional author and Peter is an avid backpacker with an impressive resume in photography and filmmaking.

Their talent shines through in every post, and their top-notch content never slows down, with two new posts hitting the site every week.

Atlas and Boots celebrates Earth and raises important questions about its future, all within the same breath.

Posts I Dig from Atlas and Boots:

  • The Most Extreme Places on Earth
  • Call of the Wild: Disconnecting from Daily Life
  • Polar Bear Death: Has Extinction Tourism Gone Too Far?

#7 –  Fearful Adventurer

A screen shot of FearfulAdventurer.com as a top travel blog

Origin : 🇺🇸 United States Great for : Writers and anxious travelers Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Fearful Adventurer isn’t your typical travel blog.

Torre DeRoche’s goal isn’t to deliver cliché travel tips, packing guides, or scenic photography.

She wants to let the world know that it’s okay to crash and burn once in a while and that fear and failure are an essential part of life (especially for her).

Torre is a brilliant writer – the best on this list.

Her shamelessly self-deprecating style and honest introspection put the reader on an emotional and often hilarious journey.

It’s perfectly normal to well up with tears during one paragraph and break out in laughter at the next.

I don’t visit Fearful Adventurer to plan my next trip, I go there for the gripping and unfiltered over-sharing.

Posts I Dig from Fearful Adventurer:

  • A Woman Who Walks Alone
  • Why the Internet is Making Us All F*@#ing Insane
  • The Importance of Traveling Alone

#8 –  Journey Era

A screen shot of JourneyEra.com

Origin : 🇬🇧 Australia Great for : Go-getters and ocean enthusiasts Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Jackson Groves is a travel blogging machine. In two-and-a-half year’s time, Journey Era has racked up over 600 blog posts – all while Jackson is constantly hiking, diving, and surfing some of the world’s most tropical and scenic destinations.

How is that even possible?! 

While his writing may not be as polished as others on this list, his photography and sense of adventure are undeniably excellent.

Even with his huge vault to success, Jackson still chooses to live a simple and frugal lifestyle.

He’s a six-figure adventure blogger who  still  hasn’t spent more than $12 on a night of lodging in his career.

He strives to clean up the environment as well, which is a tall task that he’s willing to tackle head-on.

Keep moving forward, Jackson. We’ll do our best to keep up.

#9 –  Goats on the Road

A screen shot of GoatsontheRoad.com as a top travel blog

Origin : 🇨🇦 Canada Great for : Couples who travel and SEO strategists Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

Meet Nick and Dariece, Canada’s most well-known travel blogging duo.

Not only are these two passionate about visiting obscure and exhilarating destinations — think Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan, Mozambique — they seem to get equally as excited about the business side of running a successful travel blog.

They’ve written loads of helpful posts about web hosting, SEO, and affiliate marketing — all the technical stuff aspiring travel bloggers often overlook.

Their posts are also incredibly detailed – Nick and Dariece leave no stone unturned in their quest to show the travelverse exactly how it’s done.

#10 –  Don’t Stop Living

A screen shot of DontStopLiving.com as a top travel blog

Origin : 🇬🇧 Northern Ireland Great for : Wild spirits and wayward souls Twitter  •  Instagram  •  Facebook

And then there is Jonny Blair, the wild card of the bunch.

Born and raised in Northern Ireland, Jonny knows what it’s like to live a chaotic and unpredictable life, and you can feel it in his writing.

He seems to live every day by the seat of his pants and has the uncanny ability to take us all along for the ride.

His and my lifestyles don’t really match up, but I have to admit that reading about his wild and reckless adventures is seriously entertaining.

But, it’s not all fun and games for Jonny – he’s battled mightily with depression and stopped work on the blog multiple times.

When you dive beneath the wild adventures, Jonny seems to be an incredibly complex and genuine person who is unafraid to share his struggles with the world.

It makes me think that maybe the title of his blog is a simple reminder to himself and those who share his kind of pain.

Posts I Dig from Don’t Stop Living:

  • The Day I… Met My Ex-Girlfriend In Antarctica
  • 5 Craziest Travel Moments from My First 100 Countries
  • Backpacking in Transnistria: Top 12 Sights in Tiraspol

There you have it: the 10 best travel blogs I’ve yet to come across.

Together, these adventurous few challenge  millions  of travelers worldwide to explore further and lead lives beyond their borders.

To travel is to see the world through a different set of eyes – a privilege that these wanderers don’t take for granted.

I encourage you to browse these captivating blogs and explore their stockpiles of accessible and  free  resources.

You’ll find that travel blogging is more than just a pretty set of online postcards.

Travel is deep and formative, and these bloggers are living proof.

Maybe some night soon, you’ll find yourself staring intensely into your computer as you absorb their exceptional stories, and the hours melt away.

Maybe these are the pioneers who will inspire you to blaze a trail or two of your own.

Hell, it worked for me.

Nomadic Matt: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Better

My Current List of Favorite Travel Blogs

current list of favorite travel blogs

I’m not going to lie: I think I have a pretty good travel blog. (You probably do too if you’re here.) I work hard to provide excellent practical travel advice to help you travel better, but I’m not the only great travel blogger out there. In fact — and I know this might be shocking — there’s a lot about travel that I’m not an expert on. Family travel? No idea. Travel as a woman? Clueless. Information on hotels? Only a little. Photography? I can manage to turn my camera on if that counts. Food expert? Only at eating it.

I’ve realized that it’s been a while since I last talked about the best travel blogs out there — the ones I read — so I wanted to take a moment and highlight some of my favorite travel blogs that can also help you travel better, cheaper, and smarter. There are so many good blogs out there, I feel like I’m long overdue to point you to some of them:

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)
  • InsureMyTrip (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.

Why Follow the Best Travel Blogs?

Many of google’s top results are dedicated to people who make website views their full time job. The best travel blogs might, but aren’t guaranteed, to show up in the first few pages of google.

Write Blog Posts that Rank on Google’s 1st Page

Our guide includes new travel blogs and unique travel blogs, with the focus on being a helpful travel website above selling you on a junky affiliate product. You might not know this, but many of the BEST OF guides are written based on which hotel, restaurant, or activity was willing to sponsor that popular travel blog to visit for free.

Imagine planning your next trip. You save for months from your corporate job and finally have enough money to book your carefully planned vacation . The hotel you pick and dinner on your first night were both suggestions from a “best things” travel blog. Only they both suck. You were probably reading a guide that focused on profit as opposed to the type of advice you would give to a good friend.

how to find the best travel bloggers

Real-life Experiences, Not Just Facts

Travel blogs are more than just online travel diaries; they’re a window into the genuine experiences of people who share your love of exploration. Unlike generic travel guides, these blogs take you on an intimate journey, allowing you to witness the beauty, chaos, and transformative power of travel through their eyes. 

Whether it’s overcoming challenges on road trips, indulging in the local culture of Southeast Asia, or navigating the dynamic lifestyle of being a digital nomad, these stories resonate on a personal level, often staying with you longer than a fleeting piece of travel advice.

Tips and Hacks from the Road

Who better to provide practical travel tips than the travelers themselves? From learning how to pack smartly to finding the best street food joints, travel bloggers furnish you with insights that come from being in the situation themselves. They’re your best bet for up-to-date, practical advice that’s been tried and tested, right from the horse’s mouth. And honestly, who wouldn’t prefer a friend’s recommendation for the best places to visit over a generic list found somewhere online?

Inspiration to Step Out of Your Comfort Zone

Following the best travel blogs isn’t just about the glamorous parts of travel. It’s also about the courage to step out of your comfort zone and embrace different cultures and experiences. These bloggers show you the raw side of travel, encouraging you to take leaps, big or small. They challenge you to look beyond the typical ‘touristy’ spots, inspiring you with tales from offbeat paths and adventures in places like Central America or hidden gems in busy metropolises like New York City.

A Sense of Community and Belonging

Being an avid follower of these blogs means you’re part of a larger community. You’re not just a spectator; you’re an active participant, engaging with stories, sharing your insights, and sometimes, forming lasting connections with fellow travel enthusiasts. This community becomes a space of learning, inspiration, and a reservoir of tried-and-true travel advice.

As we delve deeper into our list of the best travel blogs, remember, each one offers something unique, shaping your travel experiences in ways you’d never expect. So, buckle up! The journey through these blogs is nothing short of an adventure in itself, filled with tales of discovery, wonder, and the sheer joy of travel.

5 Tips for Finding the Best Travel Blogs

Embarking on an adventure is always exciting, but finding reliable sources to guide your journey can be a task. Not all travel blogs are created equal, and what works for one wanderer might not work for another. 

The trick to getting the most out of these treasure troves of information? Knowing how to find the best travel blogs that resonate with your personal travel style and aspirations. 

Here’s how you can make these blogs your trusty companions in adventure, guiding you from the bustling streets of cities to the tranquil retreats in undiscovered corners of the world.

1. Seek Authenticity and Experience

In a sea of travel content, authenticity is your guiding star. The best travel blogs are those fueled by the genuine passion of the traveler. These bloggers share not just the glossy, postcard-perfect shots, but also the mishaps, the unexpected detours, and the candid moments that make travel what it truly is – an adventure. 

In the travel writing space we are taught to niche down. Starting a lifestyle blog of travel experiences along with personal stories is frowned upon in the travel blogging space. But, as readers we connect best with blogs that share their whole story and not just a profit focused niche.

2. Practical Advice from First-hand Experience

Nothing beats tips and hacks learned through personal experience. The best travel blogs save you the effort of trial and error. They offer practical advice, whether you’re trying to live out of a backpack, hunting for budget travel options, planning extensive road trips across the United States, or seeking solitude in the mountains of South America. 

These bloggers have been there, done that, and they’re ready to pass on their wisdom, so your journey is just a bit smoother. There are countless times that I’ve arrived in a country and remembered advice from a travel blog and thought to myself, “Oh that’s what they meant.” 

learn from expert travel bloggers

3. Niche Travel Style

Are you a solo traveler seeking your next adventure or perhaps a vegan who wants to try every local delicacy? Whatever your niche, there’s a travel blog for you. The beauty of the best travel blogs lies in their diversity. 

From luxury travel to exploring under-the-radar locales, there’s a voice for every traveler. Identifying with a blogger who shares your interests or inspires you to step out of your comfort zone can make all the difference in planning your next trip.

4. Consistency is Key

A great travel blog isn’t just about the stories or the stunning travel photos; it’s also about the commitment to sharing those experiences. Look for blogs that are routinely updated with fresh content, providing a continuous stream of inspiration for your next escapades. 

Whether they’re exploring new places or revisiting old favorites to provide updated insights, dedicated bloggers make sure their followers are in the loop. Active travel bloggers will give you key insight to current conditions which will make your potential trip go smoother.

5. Engage and Connect

The travel community is vibrant and interactive. Look for blogs where the writer engages with their readers through comments, social media, or even travel forums. It opens up avenues for you to ask questions, share your experiences, or get the latest scoop on potential travel destinations. Plus, following your favorite bloggers on platforms like an Instagram account can provide a real-time glimpse into their travels.

You might be surprised to know that any pretty good travel blog is looking for ways to help their readers. If you have questions about a destination or travel style they are writing about, ASK! They will be thrilled to provide content that is truly helpful to their long time supporters.

So, are you ready to find the travel companion that speaks to your wanderer’s soul? Dive in as we unveil the best travel blogs that have been inspiring adventurers worldwide.

Supporting and Engaging with Travel Bloggers

In the sprawling digital landscape of travel content, behind every great travel blog is a storyteller who pours their heart into sharing unique experiences and practical advice. 

But did you know your engagement can fuel their journey? 

Here’s how supporting your favorite travel bloggers doesn’t just return the love but also enhances your own travel experiences.

Support Your Favorite Travel Blogger

1. Visit, Comment, and Share

The easiest way to support travel bloggers? Engage with their blog content! Whether you’re wanderlusting from your desk or planning your next escape, delve into those captivating travel stories and leave your footprint with comments. Commenting on their blog might seem so old school, but it’s a nod to Google that their content is relevant and engaging.

Sharing their blog posts on your social media isn’t just a nod to their hard work; it’s a way to keep your fellow travel enthusiasts in the loop. You don’t have to limit your sharing to Facebook and Instagram which have traditionally been travel influencer breading grounds. Use that Pinterest link at the bottom of their post or make a TikTok encouraging people to visit a post that resonated with you.

2. Give Them Your E-Mail

Want to be the first to know about hidden gems and travel hacks? Subscribe to newsletters from the best travel blogs. It’s more than just a regular email; it’s your ticket to exclusive content, tips that haven’t hit the blog yet, and personal anecdotes from your favorite digital nomads. 

Plus, your subscription supports their online presence, helping them grow. Sometimes traffic consistency from Google and Pinterest makes growing a blog seem impossible. If a blogger has your email it helps them stay engaged with likely fans even when outside traffic dips.

3. Use Affiliate Links

Here’s a supportive move that doesn’t cost you a penny: use bloggers’ affiliate links for your travel bookings. This is one of the best ways to support your favorite blogger, because it puts cash directly in their pocket.

Large companies pay your favorite travel blogger from their marketing budget. Be it for accommodations ,  travel gear , or insurance , these links don’t increase your expenses. But, they play a huge part in funding the free travel advice and thrilling stories you enjoy.

4. Engage on Social Media

Putting themselves out there on social media is nerve racking. It’s always awkward waiting to see if people are going to resonate with the content they create. Before they hit post their brain is swirling with all the way that people could rip them apart or criticize their content.

Beyond just double-tapping on Instagram or hitting like on Facebook, share their profiles, and engage with their posts. Ask questions, suggest places, or share your experiences. Your active participation boosts their work and could lead to insightful discussions that enhance your own travel plans!

5. Patreon and Other Support Platforms

Some of the best travel bloggers set up shop on platforms like Patreon, offering a chance for dedicated followers to support them financially. Even the smallest contribution can aid in creating more of the content you love, granting you access to behind-the-scenes, special travel guides, or even a personalized thank you note!

6. Share Your Positive Experiences

Did a travel tip work wonderfully for you? Or perhaps a destination guide became your travel bible? Let them know! Sharing back positive outcomes or stories where their advice came in handy is incredibly rewarding for bloggers. It’s proof that their hard work resonates and helps real travelers on their journeys.

Online personalities are always sharing content in order to get feedback from someone somewhere in the world. You could be that person who shows them that they aren’t just speaking to the wind.

Supporting your favorite travel bloggers is a cycle of inspiration and appreciation. It’s what keeps the travel blogging community thriving. You can ensure these digital storytellers continue to sprinkle our lives with new explorations, candid advice, and the travel bug we all cherish. So, next time you find a piece that inspires you, take a moment to engage—you’ll make a world of difference!

No Title No Description

FAQs: Best Travel Blogs

Why are travel blogs important for trip planning.

Travel blogs can offer real-life experiences, detailed destination guides, and practical advice from seasoned wanderers, filling the gaps that traditional guidebooks may miss. They provide up-to-date, firsthand information and insights that can help you plan a more authentic and personalized trip.

How do travel blogs stay reliable and authentic?

The truth is that not all of them do. Some travel blogs are sell outs. The best travel blogs maintain their reliability by sharing their personal travel experiences, good and bad. They earn trust through transparency—disclosing sponsorships, detailing their travel expenses, and providing honest reviews and recommendations.

Can I travel the world by following travel blogs?

Absolutely! Travel blogs can offer extensive resources, tips for different budgets, guidance on local cultures, and advice on both popular spots and hidden gems worldwide. They can help you craft a journey tailored to your interests and needs, potentially allowing you to travel extensively.

Are travel blogs suitable for budget travelers?

Yes, many travel blogs specialize in budget travel, offering invaluable advice on saving money, finding affordable accommodation, exploring destinations cost-effectively, and choosing cheaper transportation options. They prove that world travel can be accessible and affordable.

How often are travel blogs updated with new content?

The frequency can vary, but the best travel blogs update their content regularly—often weekly or bi-weekly. They strive to keep their travel advice, destination guides, and reviews current with the latest information, ensuring readers have fresh, reliable content for planning their trips. In this guide we’ve included actively managed blogs with up to date content.

Do travel bloggers collaborate with tourism boards or travel companies?

Many travel bloggers collaborate with tourism boards and travel companies to showcase specific destinations, experiences, or products. However, reputable bloggers prioritize their readers’ trust and often disclose such partnerships and maintain honesty in their storytelling and reviews. Just because that was the only breakfast place they ate at or the only hotel they stayed at does not make it the BEST. Reputable travel blogs will be clear about both pros and cons.

Can I start my own travel blog? Is it financially sustainable?

Starting a travel blog is possible for anyone with a passion for travel and storytelling. While it can be financially sustainable, it requires considerable effort, commitment, and time to build a following, create engaging content, and find revenue streams through advertising, sponsorships, or sales of products or services you create.

What makes a travel blog stand out among others?

A standout travel blog offers unique perspectives, high-quality content (including images and videos), engaging storytelling, and valuable, practical information for travelers. It often has a personal voice that connects with readers, an attractive and user-friendly design, and an active community of followers and contributors.

The Best Travel Blogs in 2023 (To Inspire You)

Finding the best travel blogs online can be a challenge. I know, I have read a whole bunch of them!

That’s why this post is a roundup of some of the top travel blogs on the web. Blogs I read throughout the year for inspiration (and frustration that I am not traveling at the moment).

From solo travel, foodie travel to family travel, there is something in here for everyone! And you will certainly get some great information and inspirational travel quotes on these blogs!

Solo Travel Blogs

Adventurous kate.

Topic: Travel Blog

Blog Owner:  Kate McCulley

With over 67 countries under her belt, Kate is one adventurous female traveler! And she certainly has one of the top travel blogs on the web.

She originally left her job with the intention of traveling for 6 months, and 6 years later she can explore the world for a living! So, if this is your dream job, she might be someone to follow.

She is also a big advocate of solo female travelers and trying to dispel the myths that women can’t travel alone. Go Kate!

Nomadic Matt

Blog Owner:  Matthew Kepnes

If you search for almost anything related to travel online, you will trip over the Nomadic Matt blog. So, of course he has to be mentioned here, he has one of the best travel blogs around!

Matt has a very similar backstory to most travellers. Backpacking in Asia, not wanting to go back to work. A long life on the road since that faithful day back in July 2006.

Matt’s site is epic. And full of so many travel tips, resources, guides and tips that it will take you a year to get through it all. 

It’s a must read for any upcoming trip you have planned!

A Backpacker’s Tale

Topic:  Backpacking Travel

Blog Owner:  Stephen Schreck

Another longer term traveler, Stephen has been on the go for over 3 years.

He first discovered his passion for travel while at college on a trip to Ireland, and decided to make it his life.

He loves traveling the world, so if that is your dream, check him out. 

Oh, and one last thing, he is currently taking over (Dec 2016) a tour in New Zealand, so if you want to go on the road with him, now is your chance!

The Blonde Abroad

Topic:  Solo Travel

Blog Owner:  Kiersten

Ditching her job in corporate finance, Kiersten’s goal on her travel blog is: “to inspire you to live a life you love and settle for nothing less than extraordinary.”

She has certainly been to see the world, visiting over 50 countries, volunteering and is now consulting on the side.

If solo female travel is something your aspire to, then Kiersten is someone you should be following!

Wandering Earl

Topic:  Independent Travel

Blog Owner:  Derek (middle name Earl)

This is one of those travel blogs where the guy has been traveling forever – since December 1999 to be exact. That was when he landed in Thailand with the intention of staying for 3 months. Sound familiar?

With over 16 years travel experience, Derek has been through it all: learning Spanish in Mexico to working as a Tour Manager on board cruise ships, acting in a Bollywood television show, a three-day kidnapping in Bangladesh and teaching English in Asia. To name a few.

He also runs his own tour company, and with the experience he has, I am sure it will be a tour to remember!

So, if you want to learn and experience what a pro-traveler is all about, check out Derek’s blog for some great travel tips.

Alex in Wanderland

Topic:  Independent Travel

Blog Owner:  Alexandra Baackes

Traveling and working on the road since 2011, Alex has been around the globe and back.

Originally a New Yorker, she now makes a living while on the road and has been to more countries than I can count on my hands (and feet).

As you can tell from her blog, she has a talent for design (and photography ) and seems to spend a lot of time in the water – scuba diving!

She is worth following, especially if you want to combine travel and photography, which is something most travel bloggers should do well.

Blog Owner: Clint

I think has the record in this list, with over 100 countries visited!

Although, unlike most here he also works or was a student while doing it.

His obsession is travel hacking, so finding you the best way to travel (fly, accommodation etc) without paying full price. If that sounds like a good plan to you (does to me!) then put his blog on your to-read list right now!

So, if you want a different take on travel, start reading her blog today!

Be My Travel Muse

Blog Owner: Kristin Addis

Kristin has a different take on travel to most – go where others don’t go and travel how others don’t travel.

She has been on the road since late 2012 and has immersed herself in local cultures and experiences like almost no one else.

Just to give you an example of how she rolls, in her own words she has: 

hitchhiked solo across China, climbed some of the tallest mountains in the world, done some of the deepest SCUBA dives, did a 35-day safari in Africa, spent two months hiking in Patagonia, and even became a Buddhist nun for 10 days.

Johnny Vagabond

Topic:  Solo Travel 

Blog Owner: Wes Nations

Wes is someone who loves to travel “low and slow” as he calls it. Using local transportation and taking the time to get to know the culture.

He is a low-budget traveler who is worth following as his budget has taught him how to get around, stay traveling and live an amazing lifestyle without a huge amount of cash.

A bit later to the travel life than most, Wes is not looking back now, and neither should you!

I Am Aileen

Blog Owner: Aileen Adalid

Aileen is an adventurous Filipino lass who left home at the age of 21 and never looked back!

Currently freezing her butt off in New York, Aileen will help motivate travelers all around the world to pack their backs and just “get going”!

For your next travel inspiration go check out her site!

Brendan’s Adventures

Topic:  Solo Travel & Photography

Blog Owner: Brendan van Son

Brendan is a traveler who combines great photography with what he does!

If you want to learn from one of the best, someone who teaches photography, travels and has been featured across the web (Guardian, BBC, National Geographic) this is a blog for you.

Highlights: 5 years, 6 continents, 80 countries and something off the beaten path: a solo scooter trip down the west coast of Africa!

Keep Calm And Travel

Blog Owner: Clelia Mattana

Clelia is a Sardian-born lass who came to travel later in life than most but has made up for it in a big way.

Her big life adventures and escape from the run of the mill will inspire anyone.

Although there is a focus on Sardinia and Asia on her site, you will find lots of hidden gems if you keep digging!

Food Travel Blogs

Migrationology.

Topic: Food Travel Blog

Blog Owner:  Mark Wiens

Mark is a self-proclaimed travel-eater. He is all about seeing travel from the food side of things.

He is currently located in Thailand with his wife, and still blogging consistently. But, before he settled down, he not only lived all over the place as a kid, but also after finishing college.

If you are into travel and food (and discovering the culture of a place through it’s food) then this is the blog for you.

Legal Nomads

Blog Owner:  Jodi Ettenberg

Jodi is another traveler who combines her love of travel with food. For her, it started out of necessity – because she is a celiac. But she soon found herself picking her next destination because of the food.

She has also been a long-time traveler, and her blog has now become a great resource for all things travel, food, with a focus also on photography and great travel stories.

Certainly not your run-of-the-mill travel blog and definitely one to check out.

Will Fly For Food

Blog Owners:   JB & Renee

I think the name of their blog sums it all up, but in their own words, this is : “a travel blog for the gastronomically inclined”.

These travel bloggers are drive to travel, but food is the priority. So it that is what gets you out of bed in the morning, their blog will be bookmarked in a flash.

They also have a great resource on their about page – the National Dish Quest , a list of foods that you have to eat in each country, which are ticked off as they complete the task!

Family Travel Blogs

The traveling canucks.

Topic:  Family Travel

Blog Owners: Nicole and Cameron Wears

Traveling as a family, especially with new-borns, is a big challenge. And these two travel bloggers seem to have it all sorted!

Of course, with over 10 years of travel experience, and 65 countries behind them, I am sure that makes it a little easier.

Their aim is to share their travel stories and inspire others to travel.

Tips For Family Trips

Blog Owners: Allison and Katie

Another great resource for those wanting to take their kids on their travels, Tips for Family Trips will fill your to-do list in no time!

These travel bloggers understand the challenges families face on the road and have also “been there and done it”. Something not all advice-givers in the industry can say.

Go check out their blog and see what you think.

Travel With Bender

Blog Owners: Erin & Josh Bender

Two Aussies on the go with their kids since 2012, Erin and Josh run a great blog.

I like to use people’s own descriptions of their blogs when possible, and this is what these guys have to say about their blog’s purpose: “a unique and invaluable travel resource to parents, couples and singles alike”.

So, not 100% family focused, but traveling with their kids certainly has given them knowledge worth sharing!

More Blogs to Add?

Sure, there are thousands of them. And this is not a list of all of them, or all the best ones. It’s just a list of blogs that I think are worth checking out.

So, if you think I have left a gem off the list, don’t be shy, just let me know!

A travel blog is a regularly updated website primarily focusing on the author’s travel experiences and adventures. It typically features articles, photos, and videos documenting the author’s journeys, along with tips, advice, and recommendations for other travelers. Travel blogs can cover various topics, including destination guides, cultural experiences, food and drink, accommodation reviews, and travel planning tips. They can be insights from professional travel writers, bloggers, or simply travelers who want to share their experiences with others.

Travel blogs also have the power to inform and educate readers about different destinations and cultures and inspire and excite them to embark on their adventures. They can evoke a sense of wanderlust and help readers explore the world from the comfort of their own homes.

travel-blog-bloggers-featured-picture

By sharing personal stories, insights, and experiences, travel bloggers can create a sense of connection and community among their readers, encouraging them to engage with the content, ask questions, and even share their travel experiences.

Travel blogs remind us that traveling the world is possible with the proper knowledge and gear.

Starting a travel blog can be exciting and confusing, especially if you’re not tech-savvy. But if you’re determined to share your adventures with the world, here are some steps you can take to kick off your travel blogging journey:

Choose a Niche

First, choose a niche that you want to focus on. It can be about budget travel, outdoors, family travel, luxurious trips, fashion-mixed, or a foodie-inspired travel blog. It will help streamline your content, attract a specific audience, and generate a loyal following.

Select a Website Platform

After that, select a platform that suits your budget and needs. Some of the most popular ones are WordPress, Wix, and Squarespace. You don’t have to be on-the-know to use these platforms since most have a user-friendly interface.

Decide on a Domain Name

Think about your domain name and do your research. A domain name should be memorable, catchy, and even better if it’s related to you or your niche, so it’s easier to remember.

Tip: Research your domain name to avoid ending up with a similar name to someone else.

Design your Blog

Now, it’s time to design your blog. You can choose from your platform’s web themes and customize the layout as you want. Make sure that it represents your brand and content well.

After establishing your first pages, start adding content. Write entries such as your travel experiences, tips, and hacks, and don’t forget to add photos. Remember that it has to be engaging yet informative at the same time.

Tip: Get inspiration from other Travel Blogs.

Spread the Word

Once you finish enough entries, let the world know about your travel brainchild. Spread the word through social media platforms and communities and try guest posting on travel blogs with established followers. You can attract more audiences by sharing the news as much as possible.

Tip: Networking is the best way to flourish in this process.

It’s absolutely possible to support your travels through your blog.

The secret? Dedication, time, effort, and unending thirst for knowledge and traveling.

Share your journey, keep your audience engaged, and learn how to monetize your blog.

As your audience grows, monetizing will help you keep your travel blog up and running. With a solid following, you’ll inevitably attract affiliates, sponsors, and advertisers. It ensures that you can continuously put out content without going broke.

Let’s dig a bit deeper…

Sponsorship

You can partner with travel companies or tourism boards to create sponsored content on your blog. It could include sponsored posts, sponsored reviews, or sponsored social media posts.

Affiliates & Ads

Earning commissions via affiliate links and dedicating ad spaces to your website using ad networks such as Google Ads will also bring in some money.

Brand Collab

Collaborations with brands and other travel bloggers are also a double-whammy, bringing in additional audience and profits.

Extend your Blog with a Service

Many travel bloggers offer their travel expertise in the form of consultation or service to extend the monetization of their blogs. It could be planning or selling tours to travelers or providing services or courses to up-and-coming travel bloggers. There are ways to extend the reach of your blog to support your travels and make an actual living.

Again, building a solid following and authority in your chosen niche is crucial. Consistently publish high-quality content, keep your audience entertained and informed, and strategically promote your travel blog.

Travel blogging has become an essential part of the travel industry, providing travelers with valuable insights, tips, and recommendations for exploring the world.

The blogs and bloggers featured have some of the highest following and monthly readers out there. With a wealth of experience and expertise, you can be sure to learn a thing or two from them both as a reader and if you are contemplating starting your travel blog.

We hope their stories have inspired you to embark on your travel adventures and that their tips will help you confidently plan your next trip.

The world is full of incredible destinations waiting to be discovered, and with the help of these travel bloggers, you can make your next trip one to remember.

So, go forth and explore, and don’t forget to share your travel stories and experiences!

21 U.S. Travel Bloggers Worth Following

21 u.s. travel bloggers everyone with wanderlust should be following.

Travel Blogger

If being a travel blogger sounds like a dream job — well, it kind of is. Writers across America spend their days exploring fantastic sights in dozens of exotic countries, documenting what they experience and making a living as they go.

But that doesn’t mean the job is easy. Most professional travelers have made impressive sacrifices to follow their dreams, whether it's by selling all of their belongings, living in small apartments with several roommates, or just living very simply. Superb travel blogging also takes a unique knack for making extraordinary travel experiences resonate with the masses.

Here, we’ve rounded up some of the most engaging and inspirational travel bloggers across the U.S. And yes, a little bit of jealousy is OK.

A Dangerous Business

Amanda of the Dangerous Business blog

The blogger behind A Dangerous Business is Amanda, who decided in high school that she wanted to travel. An avid Lord of the Rings fan, she was determined to visit New Zealand and spent two weeks there in 2005. She has since been to over 50 countries on six continents.

With the hopes of traveling more, Amanda started A Dangerous Business in 2010, but isn't a full-time traveler. She enjoys the comforts of home — and her beloved cat — far too much. Instead, she created the blog as a hobby and a way to combat boredom at work. In 2015, after earning her Master's degree in Tourism Management, she went full-time as a blogger.

The goal of A Dangerous Business is to help people find ways to fit travel into their lives. Amanda works with global brands and destinations to create bucket-list-style travel trips, and has been featured on The Huffington Post and USA Today Travel .

Follow Amanda on her adventures by visiting her on Facebook and Instagram .

The Everywhereist

Geraldine DeRuiter Photo

An author and public speaker, Geraldine DeRuiter runs the award-winning blog, The Everywhereist .  

While her focus is primarily on travel-related topics, she does occasionally delve into content related to dessert and feminism. And she has an apparent fondness for Jeff Goldblum.

The Seattle blogger has been featured in Forbes , The Independent and The Huffington Post . TIME Magazine also called her work “clever,” while The New York Times described her as "dark and hilarious."

These assessments are evident when you explore The Everywherist, which showcases Geraldine's dry wit. Check out her Facebook page and Instagram page to keep up with her shenanigans.

The Blonde Abroad

The Blonde Abroad

The award-winning travel and lifestyle blog, The Blonde Abroad , is run by California native Kiersten Rich. She left her job in corporate finance to become a world traveler, and has now been to over 50 countries.

Through her blog, Kiersten hopes to inspire people to live a life they love and not settle for anything less. The Blonde Abroad is a multi-level business that allows Kiersten to earn an income through various streams of revenue. She offers social media and marketing consulting, content creation and blog mentorship retreats, and takes all-expenses-paid press trips to produce content for brands.

You can catch all of Kiersten's adventures on Instagram , where she does weekly Q&A stories on travel, work and personal topics.

Adventurous Kate

Adventurous Kate

Kate McCulley travels the world for a living and documents her adventures on her blog, Adventurous Kate . It all started in 2010 when she quit her job in online marketing to travel to southeast Asia for six months. Those six months turned into five years and she's now traveled across more than 65 countries.

Adventurous Kate started on that trip to southeast Asia, when Kate began building up her freelance work portfolio while developing her blog. In 2016, she moved to New York City, revamped her blog and downsized her travel, so she's only away from home about 25 percent of the time.

You can keep up with Kate on social media by following her on Facebook , YouTube and Twitter .

Land Lopers

A self-described former cubicle dweller, Matt Long is the man behind the LandLopers blog. His passion for travel led him to start the blog, but he doesn't backpack around the world. He lives in a house in the suburbs with his three dogs and has found a way to make travel his profession. The blog name comes from the word "landloper," which is a wanderer or vagabond.

LandLopers is a reflection of Matt's experiences, and provides information on many travel-related topics. He strives to make travel more fun and accessible by sharing tips on how to experience the best destinations around the world.

Sending Postcards

Sending Postcards Couple

The travel blog Sending Postcards is a labor of love between a married couple. While they don't disclose their names, they do share their story. After their wedding, the duo left Canada to travel the world together. The blog was essentially a way to document their extended honeymoon.

Hippie in Heels

Hippie in Heels

Rachel Jones grew up in a small town in Ohio, where she lived with her brother and parents. When she got to college, she spent two summers backpacking in Europe and a month in Uganda. She went on to graduate with honors as a nurse. After 11 months as a cardiac care nurse in Charlotte, N.C., Rachel realized that a life in the "real world" wasn't for her. And so, she decided to retire from nursing and follow her heart.

She chose Goa, India, where she could ride a camel and climb a mountain, as her next home. It's where she's spent the last five years and where she currently documents her life on her travel blog, Hippie in Heels . She basically lives out of a backpack and survives on street food. While she's barely getting by financially, the trade off is worth it because she's been to 30 countries and counting. And she met the love of her life in India.

Follow Rachel and her Indian adventures on Facebook , Instagram and Twitter .

In 2008, the day after his 24th birthday, Ryan headed to Dublin, Ireland for his first solo backpacking trip through Europe.

She claims to live a very dichotomous life because she struggles with wanting to capture the world on film through travel and focusing on her experience practicing Chinese medicine, which she considers her true calling.

Andi's love affair with travel can be credited to her intrigue of diverse cultures, roads not traveled and life-changing experiences. During her time traveling the world, she met an Argentinean man, Lucas, who she married in Buenos Aires after five years of a long-distance relationship.

In 2015, Andi had a son, Joaquin, whom she calls her "most beautiful adventure yet."

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.

How To Prevent & Treat Travel Sickness in Dogs

Buddy Waggles

One of the most exciting things about owning a dog is planning all the places you want to travel with them. Beaches, mountains, cities—wherever you go, having your pooch by your side to share the experience is pretty special.

It isn’t always all puppuccinos and sunset selfies though. Getting from A to B to C can be pretty unpleasant if your pet suffers from travel sickness, so it’s important to consider their needs and comfort when plotting your itinerary. 

K eep reading to learn more about dog travel sickness and our top tips on preventing your furry passengers from feeling queasy on long car journeys. 

Do dogs suffer from travel sickness?

Yes! Just like us humans, dogs can get travel sick when they’re in a car or any other form of transport like a bus, train, boat, or aeroplane. They can experience motion sickness in exactly the same way we do.

Dog travel sickness is most common in puppies and very young dogs and they typically tend to grow out of it by the time they’re around the age of one.

However, some dogs can continue to experience travel sickness throughout their whole life. If an older dog has another health-related issue that makes them more likely to feel nauseous, for example, this can cause travel sickness even in later life. 

Signs a dog is feeling travel sick

How many times have you wished you could just speak to your dog? It would make it a whole lot easier to manage their travel sickness if you could, right? Fortunately, there are some clear signs your pooch is feeling travel sick to look out for. 

Common dog sickness symptoms include:

  • Drooling - drooling and licking the lips repeatedly is a common sign of nausea.
  • Yawning - continuous yawning is another signal that your dog has an upset stomach.
  • Whining - whining is a telltale sign that your pooch isn’t feeling quite right.
  • Restlessness - if your dog feels motion sick, they may be restless, unable to relax, and change positions frequently.
  • Low energy - lethargy is a sign your pet is feeling under the weather or down in the dumps. 

It also goes without saying that vomiting and (sometimes) diarrhoea are clear signs and symptoms of dog travel sickness.

Why do dogs get travel sick?

The scientific reason why dogs can get travel sick is the same as in humans—a misalignment between visual (eyes) and vestibular (inner ear) signals being sent to the brain. 

Basically, this just means the brain is being sent mixed messages by the eyes and the ears which are responsible for stability and balance.

When a car (or other form of transport) is in motion, the eyes can see something different from what the inner ears sense. This confuses the brain and causes the queasy feeling (nausea)  associated with travel sickness.

That’s why dog sickness when travelling is most common in puppies and young dogs—because the structure of their inner ears isn’t fully developed yet. 

Other reasons why dogs get sick when travelling

As well as the physical and biological reasons to explain travel sickness, there are some other reasons why your pooch might feel poorly when you’re on the move, including:

Getting in a car, hopping on a bus, jumping on a train, flying on a plane—these are all things that are normal to us humans. They can feel pretty weird for our pets though who aren’t as used to being strapped into metal objects and propelled forward at speed. 

Travelling can make some dogs experience high levels of anxiety, which can lead to symptoms like nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, whining, and pacing. This can be enhanced by being in confined spaces like travel crates and car boots. 

Not being a frequent traveller

If your dog doesn’t travel very regularly or has never travelled before, this can heighten anxiety or just make them more susceptible to travel sickness as they aren’t used to the motion. 

Hopefully, if your four-legged friend does struggle with motion sickness in the early stages, it will lessen over time and with more experience of travel. 

Negative associations

Your dog may associate your car, the bus, the train, etc., with past experiences that made them feel anxious, scared, or threatened. Trips to the vets are a common example of this. 

Connecting travel with these negative memories can cause your pet to show symptoms similar to those of travel sickness such as pacing, panting, whimpering, lethargy, and even vomiting and diarrhoea. 

How to prevent dog sickness on long car journeys

Now you have confirmation that yes, indeed, dog travel sickness is a real thing and you know how to spot the symptoms, let’s take a look at how to prevent and treat it.

Most of these tips and tricks also apply if you’re travelling via bus, train, boat, plane, etc., so make sure to follow them for a smooth, stress-free journey for you and your four-legged travel companion. 

Do some travel training

Acclimatising your pet to the travel process is an effective way to make dog travel sickness more manageable. While it won’t change the scientific reasons behind motion sickness, it will help them feel less anxious and unsettled.

Start by simply packing your dog into the car as you would if you were going to set off. Next time, do the same but take a short drive around the block. Next time, go a little further, etc., and build up to the full-length journey that way.

Remember to reward good behaviour

As with any kind of dog or puppy training, rewarding good behaviour is key to keeping it up. So, whether it’s to coax your pup into their travel crate or to praise them for staying calm in transit, always have some treats to hand.

You could even consider keeping a separate treat pouch where you keep tidbits dedicated solely to travel. That way, it’s something for your dog to look forward to about travelling and helps you reinforce the right behaviour. 

Just remember not to overfeed your dog when travelling as this could just make any motion sickness much worse.

Pack some of your pooch’s home comforts

Whether it’s one of your unwashed t-shirts, their favourite toy, or a cosy dog blanket that smells like home, packing some comforts for the journey will help your fur baby feel safe and relaxed.

When they feel calm and settled, they’re less likely to experience travel-related anxiety and more likely to snooze the time away instead of being wide awake, uncomfortable, and restless.

Use a carrier or safety harness

Whenever your dog is travelling anywhere you should always use a carrier, travel crate, and/or harness for their safety—in the same way you would always wear a seatbelt. 

However, using a travel crate or safety harness has another benefit and that’s keeping your pooch as still as possible during the journey. Moving around is not only super unsafe, but it is only going to make motion sickness worse.

Allow them to travel facing forward

When positioning your pet for travel, make sure they’re facing forward. This will lead to less head movement and help reduce the sensory mismatch between the eyes, ears, and brain to keep nausea at bay. 

Keep the car cool and well-ventilated

Use the aircon and crack a window to keep the car at a comfortable temperature and fresh air circulating. This will help reduce nausea and get rid of any smells that may be making your pet feel sick.

On a similar topic, it’s also a good idea to keep your road trip playlist as quiet and calm as possible to keep your pooch settled. 

Limit eating a few hours before travel

If possible, plot your travel around your pet’s eating schedule—travelling on a full stomach is not a good idea if you think your dog might experience travel sickness. We would recommend avoiding feeding them 6-8 hours before you set off if you’re able to.

Take frequent breaks along the way

Plan regular stops on your journey if you can so that your dog can stretch, get some fresh air, relieve themselves, and burn off any anxious energy that has been building up. 

Set off with plenty of time to do this so that you’re not rushing your pet and heightening negative feelings any further. 

Consult your vet

If you’re struggling to manage your dog’s sickness with all of the above techniques, we would always advise making an appointment with your vet. They will be able to consider your pet’s symptoms and share their expert medical advice. 

A vet may prescribe anti-nausea or anti-anxiety medication whenever you travel with your dog so they can enjoy a more peaceful journey.

ACT NOW! SAVE UKRAINE. DEFEND DEMOCRACY.

At 5 am on February 24, Russia began the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. They are violently trying to steal our country.

Russian forces have invaded Ukraine, confirming our worst fears. At this very hour they are attacking us on the streets of many Ukrainian cities.  We are at war.

Skylum was proudly founded in Ukraine, and our core development center is based in Kyiv. At this harrowing time, unfortunately we cannot guarantee the on-time delivery of updates to Luminar Neo. We strive for excellence in everything we do, and we will make sure to further develop and improve Neo and to keep you updated on any news. 

However, today we ask our community for help and support. Here are some details on what has happened and how you can support Ukraine in this difficult time.

!   At 5 am on February 24, Russia began the full-scale military invasion of Ukraine. They are violently trying to steal our country.

! Right now, there are missile strikes and bombardment of peaceful Ukrainian cities.   We must hide our families in bomb shelters and protect our land with weapons in our hands as part of the territorial defense forces.

! This disastrous and entirely unprovoked Russian war has already taken the lives of 198 civilians. 33 children have been injured, and 3 have been killed.

! The Armed Forces of Ukraine, young and brave heroes, are fighting all over the country not only for Ukraine but for Peace and Clear Skies in Europe. 

As we write to you from a city under attack, we want to be very clear: This war is not just something you see on TV. It is not happening in some distant lands. It is happening right now here in Ukraine, and the Russian forces who are invading our lands and threatening our families may come to your doorstep one day too if we do not stop them.

Sanctions that world governments are currently imposing are not enough. Russia must be completely isolated from all spheres of the civilized world: the financial system, technologies, sports, culture.  

Here is a list of simple actions you can take to help Ukraine. We MUST unite to quite literally save the world before it’s too late:

- Contact your local representatives and pressure them to provide more support for Ukraine and stricter sanctions on Russia. We need military and humanitarian aid and Russia must be cut off from SWIFT.

- Donate money to humanitarian aid organizations. Find a full list over here:  https://how-you-can-support-ukraine.super.site/  

- Follow the news from official channels. Avoid fake news and disinformation!
