8 Travel Blogger Melayu Yang Patut Anda Follow Hari Ini Juga

Blogger-blogger Melayu di bawah datang dari latar belakang berbeza, tetapi berkongsi satu perkara sama.

Mereka berkongsi dengan anda suka duka, kisah pelik, berinspirasi dan lucu semasa cuti mereka seperti yang dapat dibaca di majalah pelancongan — tanpa meminta satu sen pun bayaran dari anda.

Kalau anda suka melancong, tapi masih belum dengar nama mereka, jenguk-jenguklah blog mereka selepas artikel ini.

1. Cuti Maksimum, Bajet Minimum : DanArif

Jika kebanyakan kita bersesak membeli tiket masuk ke tempat tarikan pelancong, Dan Arif pula lari dari kebiasaan dan berseronok melakukan aktiviti ekstrim di tempat orang sewaktu cutinya.

Mahal? Mungkin tidak. Bijak? Sudah tentu.

Pereka dalaman ini selalunya memaksimakan bajet beliau dengan tinggal di hostel dan kerap menggunakan kupon diskaun cuti dan aktiviti dari Groupon untuk berjimat sebanyak-banyaknya. Antara hasilnya ialah peluang melakukan SkyDiving di Queenstown, Australia dalam gambar di atas.

Seorang yang sukakan aktiviti lasak, blog dua bahasa beliau bukan sahaja ada ulasan hotel tapi juga bagus dilawat jika anda ingin belajar cara berjimat semasa cuti ataupun melihat senarai restoran halal yang ada di luar negara.

2. Siapkan Jadual Pusing Dunia : Kaki Berangan

Ingin tahu kos sebenar bercuti di Korea, Gold Coast , Melbourne atau di mana-mana tempat lain di luar negara? Kaki Berangan, seorang travel blogger berpengalaman boleh tunjukkan anda belanjanya.

Anda bakal melihat kos cuti beliau — dari harga tiket, kereta sewa dan bayaran untuk cenderamatanya hinggalah ke jadual waktu dan tempat akan dikunjungi sewaktu bercuti.

Disebabkan cara tulisan beliau cukup santai, anda akan tersenyum membaca tentang kerenah imigresen, rimasnya beliau dengan hon kenderaan di Medan dan cerita membawa ikan bilis dan memasak rendang sewaktu bercuti.

Lawat : Laman Kaki Berangan

3. Cuti Mesti Bergaya, FidaJacob

Siapa kata anda tak boleh bergaya sejelita Catherine Zeta Jones semasa bercuti?

Jika anda lawati laman travel blogger wanita bernama Fida Jacob ini anda tentu malu. Beliau ternyata cukup bergaya di depan lensa — tidak kisahlah samada beliau di Turki atau Brussel, beliau persis seorang super model yang sedang berehat antara photoshoot.

Dengan but tinggi dan tas tangan, cik mek Kelantan ini ada banyak ilmu melancong dan fesyen yang boleh anda pelajari. Bahkan jika anda ingin tahu destinasi yang pernah dan bakal beliau lawati, tengok saja ‘bucket list’ di sidebar beliau.

Kalau anda seorang perempuan, hati-hati. Senarai negara yang pernah beliau lawati dan koleksi kasutnya bakal buat anda iri hati sepanjang hari.

Lawat : Laman FidaJacob

4. Travel Berdua Baru Bahagia

Dan KakiJalans.com bukan sahaja bawa anda pergi pusing ala backpackers sekitar Asia Tenggara, tapi nun jauh beribu batu ke Perancis dan Belgium.

Antara catatan paling detail yang ada kat KakiJalans ini, trip solo Khai masa bujang ke Thailand dengan Laos. Kalau rasa nak buat benda yang sama boleh layan site dia untuk usya tips dan tempat yang dia lawat.

Blog KakiJalans ditulis dalam bahasa Inggeris. Tapi jalan risau sebab bahasanya simple, dan tulisannya pun bite size.

Lawat : KakiJalans

5. Dapat Tajaan Untuk Berjalan : BroFramestone

Bro Framestone dianggap antara blogger paling berjaya di Malaysia.

Beliau pernah ke Jakarta, Bandung dan Medan selama seminggu dengan penginapan, makan-minum dan pengangkutan ditaja penuh oleh AirAsia. Beliau juga antara blogger penting Felda Travel dan dibayar bagi mempromosi penginapan milik Felda dari Sungkai hinggalah ke Johor.

Jadi tidak hairanlah jika blogger lain hanya dapat ke tempat tarikan popular, beliau pula dapat masuk ke hutan dengan 4WD dan menunggang kuda di ladang teh Bandung.

Sejak berkahwin, beliau banyak menerima pelawaan untuk tajaan untuk bercuti, tapi seperti menurut beliau “.. terpaksa ditolak kerana lebih utamakan keluarga.”

Pendek kata, inilah hasilnya jika anda sudah berjaya sebagai blogger. Bak kata orang putih, “Be so good that they can’t ignore you”.

Lawat : Laman BroFramestone

6. Bercerita dengan Foto: Wazari Wazir

Apa guna bergambar semasa cuti jika semua office mate anda menguap besar bila melihatnya?

Jika anda ingin melihat bagaimana seorang pro mengambil gambar sewaktu cuti, lawat laman Wan Wazir. Anda mungkin menghabiskan masa berjam-jam untuk melihat gambar bertaraf National Geographic beliau sambil bertanya mengapalah anda tidak mahu belajar fotografi sebelum melancong.

Jurugambar professional ini bukan saja seorang blogger, tetapi juga wartawan foto Melayu terbaik yang pernah kami jumpa.

Pendek kata, blog beliau wajib dituju jika anda mahu belajar merakam foto yang mampu bercerita.

Lawat : Laman Wazari Wazir

7. Kerja Sendiri Jadi Pembiaya Cuti: Emila Yusof

Siapa kata anda perlu bekerja dengan gaji besar untuk melancong? Minat anda mungkin saja boleh menjadi pembiayanya.

Emila Yusof bukan sahaja seorang ibu dan penulis, tetapi beliau bekerja sendiri sebagai pelukis kulit buku kanak-kanak dan mengunakan minat ini sebagai batu loncatan untuk beliau melawat banyak ibukota dunia.

Berhenti kerja pada 2007 dan bekerja sendiri dengan menghasilkan lukisan-lukisan comel, blog berbahasa Inggeris Emila diisi bukan sahaja dengan lukisan tetapi juga dengan kisah kembara beliau ke seluruh dunia untuk mempromosi hasil kerja beliau.

Cemburu? Kami pun begitu.

Lawat : Laman Emila Yusof

8. Umur Bukan Penghalang : DeqNoor

Jurutera wanita muda dan masih bujang yang membahasakan dirinya sebagai Deq Noor ini memang rajin berblog. Dari pengalaman di Solo, Indonesia sampailah ke Korea, semuanya ditulis di blognya.

Selalunya melancong sambil kerja, wanita muda berani ini menunjukkan bahawa usia dan kerja bukan halangan untuk melancong.

Jika anda ingin belajar bagaimana beliau boleh membahagikan masanya sebagai jurutera, melancong, ber blog dan masih boleh menghadiri event2 blogger, bolehlah ke blog DeqNoor dan tanyakan beliau.

Lawat : Laman Deq Noor

Melancong memang seronok. Tetapi jika jadual anda padat atau duit di tabung masih belum cukup, kesemua blog di atas boleh dikunjung sebagai tempat membaca, merancang dan mengimpikan keseronokan bersiar-siar dengan jaket tebal atau kasut tinggi di tempat orang.

Jika 20 tahun dahulu, bilangan Melayu yang mengembara boleh dikira dengan jari, kini anda ada blogger terkemuka untuk dijadikan inspirasi.

Antara 8 travel blogger Melayu hebat di sini, blogger mana yang paling anda sukai ?

12+ Rekomendasi Blog Traveling Beserta Cara Menjadi Travel Blogger Sukses

Siapa yang tidak suka traveling? 100% yakin bahwa semua orang dari berbagai kalangan bersemangat jika mendengar kata traveling.

Dari arti kata dalam bahasa Indonesia, traveling berarti perjalanan, melancong atau bepergian.

Traveling adalah kegiatan perjalanan atau bepergian ke suatu tempat dengan tujuan atau alasan tertentu.

Alasan yang paling besar orang melakukan traveling adalah ingin merefresh pikiran dengan berkunjung ke tempat- tempat wisata yang indah dan populer.

Namun, ada sebagian orang yang menjadikan traveling sebagai pekerjaan.

Contohnya seorang pembawa acara pada suatu acara traveling.

Dalam melakukan traveling biasanya sebagian orang melakukan dokumentasi di setiap tempat yang mereka kunjungi.

Dokumentasi yang dilakukan misalnya seperti memotret tempat atau pemandangan di tempat wisata, membuat video blogger (vlog) di YouTube, dan menulis artikel di blog traveling.

Apabila kamu termasuk salah satu orang yang menikmati bacaan artikel yang bertemakan traveling, kamu akan menemukan cerita traveling dari persiapan hingga kegiatan di tempat wisata.

Blog traveling adalah sebuah blog atau situs web yang berisi mengenai semua kegiatan traveling mulai dari persiapan, hingga sampai di tempat tujuan.

Orang yang hobi menulis blog traveling disebut dengan travel blogger.

Seorang travel blogger akan menuliskan semua detail-detail informasi dan pengalaman yang mereka dapatkan selama melakukan traveling.

Misalnya hal-hal penting yang dibutuhkan saat melakukan traveling, larangan-larangan apa saja yang tidak diperbolehkan saat di tempat wisata tertentu misalnya di Jakarta, cerita atau fakta-fakta dibalik tempat wisata di jakarta yang dikunjungi, dan masih banyak lagi.

Travel blogger akan membagikan pengalaman traveling kepada orang- orang melalui sebuah blog.

Menjadi Travel Blogger Sukses

“Bagaimana menjadi travel blogger yang sukses?”

Menjadi travel blogger mungkin sekilas terlihat mudah. Hanya jalan- jalan kemudian mendokumentasikan semua hal di tempat wisata dan menuliskan ke dalam sebuah blog.

Namun sebenarnya menjadi travel blogger tidak hanya melulu bersenang- senang.

Hal ini dikarenakan seorang travel blogger harus memikirkan strategi bagaimana agar artikel yang ditulis bisa menarik pembaca blog.

Selain itu, travel blogger juga harus memiliki kemampuan untuk menulis cerita dan menyajikannya agar pembaca dapat terinspirasi.

Mulai Dengan Menentukan Niche

Dalam kegiatan traveling tidak hanya melulu tentang destinasi wisata, namun juga bisa berupa kuliner, budaya, sejarah.

Kamu bisa memikirkan kira- kira konten atau niche apa saja yang akan kamu masukkan ke dalam blog travel.

Sesuaikan niche yang dipilih dengan minat yang kamu miliki.

Jangan sampai kamu menulis blog dengan niche yang tidak kamu suka.

Jangan Takut Untuk Menulis

Untuk menjadi travel blogger yang sukses jangan takut terlebih dahulu untuk memulainya.

Permasalahan umum yang biasa ditemui dari blogging adalah keraguan dalam menulis artikel.

Jika kamu sudah berniat untuk menjadi travel blogger, jangan ragu untuk menulis.

Suatu blog travel merupakan sekumpulan yang berisi cerita atau pengalaman pribadi mengenai traveling.

Jadi, jangan sampai kamu takut dan ragu menuliskan semua hal yang terjadi pada traveling.

Apabila kamu merasa kurang dalam hal menulis, kamu bisa latih dengan cara sering-sering menulis tentang berbagai hal.

Buat Desain Blog Yang Menarik

Ketika user mengunjungi suatu website atau blog, pasti pertama kali akan melihat tampilan halaman utama.

Untuk itu sebisa mungkin berikan desain blog yang menarik dan terlihat tidak membosankan.

Pada umumnya blog perjalanan langsung menyuguhkan artikel- artikel di halaman utama.

Ada juga yang menyuguhkan kembali artikel- artikel yang ada di halaman utama dalam bentuk kategori.

Terkadang hal tersebut akan membuat pengunjung merasa malas dan bosan untuk membaca karena tidak adanya ketertarikan dalam tampilan website.

Salah satu blog traveling terbaik yang dapat kamu gunakan acuan dalam membuat desain blog adalah Helter Skelter.

Pada Helter Skelter memiliki desain blog yang lebih modern , menarik, tidak membosankan, dan interaktif.

Kamu bisa gunakan Helter Skelter sebagai referensi sebelum membuat blog perjalanan.

Mulai Membuat Blog Traveling

Membuat blog traveling akan membutuhkan domain, hosting, dan SSL .

Domain sebagai alamat blog. Hosting sebagai tempat penyimpanan data blog seperti gambar, video, konten. Sedangkan SSL sebagai keamanan blog.

Ketiga komponen tersebut harus kamu penuhi jika kamu ingin membuat blog perjalanan.

Untuk domain ada beberapa pilihan ekstensi domain yang bisa kamu gunakan untuk membuat blog perjalanan misalnya seperti .com, .id. .sites, .me, .my.id , dan masih banyak lagi.

Sesuaikan ekstensi domain dengan kebutuhan. Jika kamu berasal dari Indonesia akan lebih baik menggunakan ekstensi domain Indonesia .id, .my.id, atau .web.id.

Hal ini karena dapat meningkatkan kepercayaan bahwa blog yang kamu buat tidak abal- abal dan asli dari Indonesia.

Ketiga domain tersebut berasal dari PANDI (provider domain Indonesia).

Menentukan dan Mengetahui Target Pembaca Blog

Selanjutnya adalah menentukan dan mengetahui target pembaca blog perjalanan.

Sama seperti ketika kamu membangun bisnis, kamu harus menentukan pasar yang ingin kamu raih.

Saat sudah mengetahui target pembaca blog, kamu dapat menyesuaikan gaya tulisan dan bahasa yang nantinya digunakan pada blog.

Hindari Bahasan Hal- Hal Terlalu Teknis

Saat kamu sudah terbiasa dengan menulis blog, pasti kamu akan memikirkan bagaimana cara meningkatkan traffic blog yang kamu buat.

Meningkatkan traffic blog memang caranya dengan menggunakan kaidah SEO .

Berdasarkan kaidah SEO, mengharuskan kamu untuk menulis konten dengan keyword yang telah dieksplorasi sebelumnya.

Akan dengan mudah kamu menulisnya.

Namun, berhubung blog travel termasuk blog yang bersifat santai, jangan terpaku pada keyword yang didapatkan.

Mengapa begitu? Karena jika terlalu terpaku dengan keyword, maka tulisan yang dihasilkan juga akan terlihat kaku dan feel tulisan menjadi berkurang di mata pembaca.

Bukan berarti salah jika menggunakan kaidah SEO. Namun akan lebih baik jika kamu bisa seimbang dalam menggunakan keyword dan feel dari konten yang biasanya telah kamu buat.

Gunakan Sosial Media Dan Email Untuk Mendukung Blog

Setelah kamu memposting artikel pada blog perjalanan, akan lebih baik jika kamu juga mempostingnya di sosial media.

Artikel yang diposting di sosial media tidak harus semua konten seperti di blog.

Namun bisa kamu kemas dengan desain yang menarik.

Selain sosial media jika kamu memiliki email dengan domain sendiri, kamu bisa mengirim email ke pembaca.

Kemudian berikan CTA (call to action) pada email nantinya akan diarahkan ke salah satu artikel di blog.

Perhatikan Kualitas Konten Blog

Dalam menulis sebuah blog, kualitas adalah prioritas utama.

Apalagi dengan munculnya banyak kompetitor blog travel lainnya.

Kamu bisa luangkan waktu untuk merancang subjek- subjek apa saja yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas konten sebelum menulisnya.

Setelah mendapatkan rancangan, barulah kamu bisa menulis dan mengembangkan kalimat- kalimat menjadi konten yang berkualitas.

Manfaatkan Blog Traveling Menjadi Suatu Bisnis

Apakah kamu tahu bahwa blog traveling bisa dijadikan sebagai lahan bisnis?

Tentu bisa! Ada berbagai cara untuk melakukan monetisasi blog travel.

Pertama, kamu bisa membuat menu kerja sama di dalam blog. Menu kerja sama berisi mengenai tawaran kerja sama.

Jika terdapat orang yang tertarik untuk melakukan kerja sama dengan kamu, maka semua detail informasi kerja sama sudah ada secara lengkap.

Kedua, kamu bisa melakukan afiliasi . Banyak afiliasi yang berkaitan dengan bisnis pariwisata.

Misalnya ada platform pesan tiket online yang menawarkan afiliasi melalui banner.

Kamu cukup mengupload banner yang diberikan oleh platform tiket online tersebut saja. Nantinya ketika ada user yang meng-klik banner tersebut, itu artinya kamu akan mendapatkan komisi berapa persen sesuai dengan perjanjian.

Meraih Traffic Blog Traveling Tinggi

Sama seperti website lainnya, blog perjalanan juga harus mendapatkan traffic yang tinggi. Hal ini karena tujuan utama dari pembuatan website atau blog adalah agar banyak pengunjung yang datang ke website atau blog. Nah, untuk meraih traffic blog yang tinggi, kamu bisa mencoba beberapa hal berikut ini :

Gunakan SEO

Kunci dari meningkatkan traffic sebuah website adalah menggunakan SEO. Untuk itu, agar traffic blog meningkat dalam pemembuatan konten, kamu harus memikirkan keyword yang akan digunakan.

Keyword bisa kamu dapatkan melalui berbagai macam tools SEO, seperti Google Trends, Keyword Everywhere, Ubbersuggest, dan masih banyak lagi. Lebih lengkapnya kamu bisa baca Bosan Website Sepi Traffic? Ketahui SEO Tools Terbaik Saat ini .

Baca Juga : Cara Menggunakan Google Trends Untuk SEO dan Riset Keyword

Menjadi Bagian Dari Komunitas Travel Blogging

Menjadi bagian dari komunitas travel blogging juga salah satu cara meningkatkan traffic blog.

Pada komunitas tersebut kamu bisa mendapatkan saran dari travel blogger senior.

Khususnya dalam hal meningkatkan traffic blog.

Tidak hanya itu, melalui komunitas tersebut pasti blog yang kamu buat perlahan akan dikenal oleh anggota komunitas.

Bikin Konten Versus

Membuat konten versus atau perbandingan akan meningkatkan traffic blog perjalanan.

Pada umumnya, kebanyak traveler ketika akan traveling akan menentukan terlebih dahulu tempat- tempat yang akan dikunjungi.

Untuk itu perbandingan antara beberapa tempat sangat dibutuhkan.

Dengan begitu akan banyak orang yang mengakses blog kamu.

Rekomendasi Blog Traveling Sebagai Inspirasi Tempat Wisata

Adapun rekomendasi blog perjalanan sebagai inspirasi tempat wisata adalah sebagai berikut :

Efek- efek scrolling juga jarang ditemukan pada blog travel umumnya. Pada Helter Skelter ini berhasil membuat desain blog yang modern, menarik dan tidak membosankan.

1. 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
• Superstar Blogging online course
• Affiliate marketing ( Check: Best Travel Affiliate Programs )

2. 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.

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.

6. 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.”

11. 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

13. 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.

14. 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

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.

16. 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

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.”

18. 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.

20. 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

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

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.

23. 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.

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.

26. 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

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.

Yes — it’s probably the longest honeymoon ever.

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

32. 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

By:  Michael Turtle

34. 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

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. 

Travel4Wildlife’s goal is to increase awareness and increase the appreciation for wildlife. More importantly, it was Christina and Hal’s life goal to promote wildlife conservation through responsible tourism. 

Behind the scenes, the couple teams up to create compelling articles that focus on wildlife in specific destinations. The blog covers a range of species on different continents — from owls in South Africa to polar bears in Canada. 

• Wildlife tour reviews
• Responsible travel

36. The Insatiable Traveler

By:  Susan Portnoy

Susan Portnoy, also called  The Insatiable Traveler   on her blog, is a seasoned travel writer and photographer. 

Susan’s last full-time job was VP of corporate communications at Condé Nast. When that door closed, she took on a freelancing career as she learned the art of photography. 

Fast forward a few years, and she has enough accolades to make photography degree holders envious. 

Her photographic works were featured by organizations like National Geographic and companies like Bing. She also won awards like the SATW Lowell Thomas Award and the 2018 Gold in the Muster Photo Competition. 

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. 

37. View from the Wing

By:  Gary Leff 

Just like Brett Snyder, Gary Leff of  View From The Wing   is an expert in all things air travel. 

Gary was named one of the “World’s Top Travel Experts” by Condé Nast Traveler since 2010. He also co-founded InsideFlyer.com — a community made by and for frequent flyers.

38. 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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

47. 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.

48. 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.

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

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.

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

53. 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.

Best of the Best Travel Blogs: My Top 10 Favorites

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

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

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.

• Visit Half Moon Island – Forsaken Humid Antarctica

#3 –   Expert Vagabond

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

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.

• Why Every Backpacker Should Travel With a Tent

#5 –  Nomadic Matt

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.

#6 –  Atlas and Boots

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.

#7 –  Fearful Adventurer

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

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

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

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:

• 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.

7 Reasons to Visit Shenyang, China

Why Visit Shenyang

Things to know before your travel to Shenyang, what to do when you visit Shenyang, and how to make the best of your trip to Shenyang! 

1. Get off the (slightly) Beaten Tourism Path in China

First and foremost, Shenyang (Mandarin: 沈阳) is not a typical stop on the tourist route in China.

Usually, when you think of tourism in China, cities like Beijing and Shanghai are the first that come to mind.

But Shenyang is a second-tier (or New Tier 1 ) city, located a bit out of the way of that typical route. It’s easy enough to get to but, for many, it’s hard to find enough convincing information online to actually make the trip.

My hope is that the following paragraphs can begin to change that mindset and prove that Shenyang is definitely worth the visit.

Shenyang is the capital of Liaoning (Mandarin: 辽宁) province, with a metropolitan population of over 8 million.

It is the largest city, and the industrial and economic heart of China’s Dongbei (Mandarin: 东北, trans.: northeast) region, consisting of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces. Being where it is geographically, visitors can expect quite warm and humid weather during summer visits, and very cold and dry weather during its winter months, with highs and lows ranging from about 40°C to −35°C.

2. Explore Unique Dongbei (North-East China)

Shenyang is also the best starting point for the rest of your exploration of the Dongbei region.

With an international airport, highspeed trains that move in every direction, and a wide range of other transportation options, travellers will be able to book a trip to their next destination with ease.

Other Dongbei cities such as Dandong, Changchun, Dalian, Yanji and Harbin can all be reached via numerous methods of transportation, many of which will cater to a flexible schedule for those last-minute excursions.

The city can also be reached from other major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai with ease.

On top of that, Shenyang is one of the few cities that offers direct flights to Pyongyang, in addition to housing a North Korean consulate.

3. Learn about Shenyang's Deep History 

Shenyang has a long and extremely rich history and this narrative is present among numerous sites in the city, deriving from various time periods.

The region has had such an active history that it would take days to read through it in any amount of detail. 

Proof of human life has been discovered in the region that is estimated to be over 8000 years old.

There is also extensive proof of life and culture in the region from around 6800-7200 years ago exhibited in the famous XinLe Museum.

Beyond these periods and into recorded history, the city has changed hands (and names) countless times between various dynasties, nomadic warriors and even different countries. Just to name a few brief examples, the city was occupied by the Korean Koguryo Kingdom for some time beginning in the year 404. Much later in 1634, it was captured by the Manchu people.

After that, it briefly played a role as the capital of the Qing Dynasty.

In more modern times, the city has unwillingly become a stronghold for both Russian and Japanese imperial forces fighting for influence over the resource-rich Manchurian region.

During the struggle between these foreign powers, Shenyang and its surrounding region arguably became the grounds for the invention of many methods of modern warfare preceding WWI, when the ferocious fighting of the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905) saw Japan rise to the stage of world powers by being the first Asian country to defeat a European country in a war that saw the first uses of the industrialized world’s new modernized technologies being utilized on a mass scale in battle.

The conclusion of this battle resulted in a major shift of previously perceived power dynamics in East Asia and the world. It is also widely considered to be a major factor in the lead-up to WWI.

With Japan’s victory, the region then became occupied by Japanese imperial forces, which abruptly ended after their defeat and surrender at the end of WWII, when Shenyang and the rest of Manchuria were returned to Chinese control. However, during the time of occupation, the region was known to be a hotspot of Chinese, Korean and Russian guerilla fighters opposing Japanese imperialism.

After that time, Shenyang became a main battleground in the Chinese Civil War, first acting as a base for the nationalist Kuomintang and later being captured by the Communists.

This rise and triumph of Mao Zedong’s Communist Party is memorialized in the city’s main square, Zhongshan Square (Mandarin: 中山广场 zhong’shan’guang’chang ), which displays what is reportedly the largest revolutionary statue of Mao Zedong in all of China in the centre of an expansive roundabout. 

Today, the city is sprawling with tall modern buildings, broad avenues and shopping centres in every direction. It is a hub of heavy industry and although admittedly it is not the most aesthetically pleasing city across the board, few would refute the idea that it has an incredibly unique and distinctive character about it.

4. Learn 'Dongbeihua', China's North East Dialect

There is a local dialect spoken in Shenyang and its surrounding region that is known as Dongbeihua (Mandarin: 东北话, trans.: northeastern dialect).

Some words, phrases and ways of speaking here might cause confusion if used in other regions of China.

Imagine being a Briton in America referring to ‘the underground’ or ‘a lorry’ rather than ‘the subway’ or ‘a transport.’

It’s likely that you’ll still be understood, but there might be some delay or confusion before your thoughts are clearly articulated.

The dialect is often described as much more informal and derogatory than dialects in other parts of the country, giving an aura of grit to Shenyang’s population that matches the aesthetics of the city itself.

The brusqueness of people from Dongbei will likely become apparent through their use of this dialect.

Dongbeihua is known for terms and phrases that would be considered much more informal and sometimes even derogatory in other parts of China but have become something of a normal part of speech here. 

This dialect has also become a standard in Chinese comedy due, in part, to the fact that other parts of China find it to be somewhat more humorous than their own dialects.

5. Experience the Ethnic, Cultural and Religious Diversity of Shenyang

After reading a brief history of Shenyang, it’s easy to understand that numerous cultural influences exist in the region and have played a major role in its cultural development. However, even with such turmoil and external influence in its past, the region has developed a thriving culture of its own that is not found in any other part of China.

On top of being made up of 38 of 56 Chinese ethnic groups (some of which are native to the region), Shenyang is also home to a large population of Koreans (from the North, South and elsewhere) and Mongolians. 

Xita (Mandarin: 西塔 xi’ta , trans.: west pagoda) is a neighbourhood in Shenyang that is well-renowned for being the world’s second-largest Koreatown.

Its name derives from one of four Tibetan-style Buddhist stupas representing each cardinal direction in the city. Quite the interesting place, Xita is known for its international fashion imports, delicious foods and its former reputation as a Red-Light District.

It’s proximity to Korea and historical significance has made it a base for Koreans of all backgrounds.

Here you can find North Korean restaurants dotted between South Korean-style fried chicken spots and fashion boutiques, Chinese-Korean BBQ, flashy KTVs (karaoke bars), and so much more.

It is also a hub for what could be called the city’s counterculture, where young clubgoers, usually adorned in all black and often with colourful hairstyles, yakuza-style tattoos and unconventional fashion senses, congregate to enjoy the nearby nightlife.

Mongolian influence is slightly less apparent in the city in comparison but exists, nonetheless.

In fact, it was the Mongol Yuan Dynasty (1206–1368) that first provided the city with the name Shenyang .

Visitors will undeniably find Korean restaurants with much more ease, but traditional Mongolian cuisine can still be found throughout the city with a little extra effort.

Despite a heavy anti-Japanese sentiment, influences from the Japanese occupation are still common throughout the city, as well.

Although it is not uncommon to find numerous Japanese restaurants in any major Chinese city, Shenyang offers much more than this.

There are museums dedicated to the Japanese occupation (i.e. the 9.18 Historical Museum), a POW site where the Japanese held Allied prisoners during WWII, and even entire neighbourhoods that were quite evidently built during the Japanese occupation based on their architectural characteristics.

In recent years, it has become popular to open trendy cafés, breakfast houses and bars along these streets, providing visitors with a much different atmosphere than the usual hotspots in the city, which are often located in typical large, modern complexes.

Shenyang is also home to a range of religious sites including Buddhist temples, mosques and churches.

Notable among these sites are the NanGuan gothic cathedral, the abandoned Christ the Savior Russian Military Church, the Shenyang South Mosque and the Beita Buddhist Temple.

Near the site of the mosque mentioned above, visitors will also likely come across and find themselves inevitably exploring Muslim Street.

This is the centre for the Muslim population of Shenyang. Explore the street to see customs that differ from anywhere else in the city. Read more about this area in the next section.

6. Shenyang's Local Cuisine

Seeking advice on visiting Shenyang will always come back to food, and there’s a good explanation for that.

Shenyang not only boasts its own local and regional cuisines but also provides a range of diverse options for those looking to try a wide variety of new things and/or find some of the comforts of home. 

The local cuisine is referred to as Liaocai (Mandarin: 辽菜, trans.: Liaoning provincial cuisine) and the larger regional cuisine is referred to as Dongbeicai (Mandarin: 东北菜, trans.: northeastern cuisine).

Although there is a lot of crossover between the two, there are some distinctions that make Shenyang unique compared to other cities and areas in the northeastern region.

Dongbeicai is known for its hearty dishes and hints of Manchu-inspired flavour.

Some of these include dumplings (Mandarin: 饺子 jiao’zi ), sour cabbage (Mandarin: 酸菜 suan’cai , often compared to sauerkraut) and meat pies (Mandarin: 馅饼 xian’bing or 肉饼 rou’bing ), among many others.

Laobian Dumpling (Mandarin: 老边餃子館 lao’bian’jiao’zi’guan ) may very well be the epitome of local cuisine in the city of Shenyang.

With a history dating back to 1829, it is one of the oldest and most famous restaurants in the city, undoubtedly known to all locals.

It is located on Shenyang’s famous Zhongjie (Mandarin: 中街) shopping street, surrounded by malls, an extensive underground market, multiple sources of entertainment and a pedestrian-only street catering to consumer needs of all kinds.

Therefore, there will be plenty to do and see both before and after your meal.

Night Markets

Shenyang is also home to a slew of night markets. These are the best places to have a taste of the multiple local delicacies, all in one place. It’s also one of the best places to interact with the local population. The most notable market is the massive Xingshun International Tourist Night Market (Mandarin: 兴顺国际旅游夜市 xing’shun’guo’ji’lu’you’ye’shi ).

Snow Beer..?

While you’re in Shenyang, and whether you’re looking for it or not, you will undoubtedly come across a brand of local beer called Snow (Mandarin: 雪花啤酒 xue’hua’pi’jiu , commonly referred to as 干啤 gan’pi [trans.: dry beer]).

It’s presence in every shop, restaurant and bar will make it easy to overlook, but this beer is actually quite spectacular for one reason: it is the most consumed beer in the whole world!

Although it is doubtful that anyone would recommend the beverage for its taste, it is worth having a try for bragging rights.

It’s likely that, if you are not from China, your friends and family back home will have never heard of it since the beer is sold almost exclusively in China.

And now you can say that you have tried it in the city where it was born!

Along with the cultural diversity of the city mentioned in the previous section comes a plethora of diverse and delicious food options outside of the local cuisine, some of which have already been mentioned.

7. people of shenyang.

Last but certainly not least, the local population of Shenyang makes the visit worth it.

Most of the population are not as accustomed to seeing foreign visitors as the populations of those cities on the regular tourist routes.

So, as a foreign visitor, be prepared for some prolonged glances, often followed by a smile! 

This also means that finding locals that speak a comfortable level of English will be a more difficult task than in other locations in China, but this is all part of the experience, so practice up on your Mandarin or have a translation app ready to go!

You’ll get the feeling that you have left the comforts of such a global city like Beijing to be immersed in what some would argue is a more authentic account of China.

( That’s not to say that you can’t find foreign foods and goods – don’t be surprised when you walk past a McDonald’s or H&M! ).

The best places to see and interact with locals in Shenyang would likely be in the bustling underground markets (the largest of which is located at Zhongjie [Mandarin: 中街]) or the night markets serving local street food.

With food and drink being such a large part of social life and relationship-building in China, the night markets are especially valuable in this sense for those that are looking to socialize and walk away from the experience with some new local friends. 

People from Dongbei are said to be taller, have larger builds and be slightly gruffer than those in other regions of China.

They’re also known for being more direct (often coming across as rude to outsiders) in their way of communicating.

That being said, people from Dongbei have a warmness to them that aptly matches the heartiness of their local cuisine.

Descriptions of their size, dialect and frankness may come across as daunting, but they are generally very welcoming and accommodating people that want to see guests walk away with a favourable impression of their home.

Different people have different goals, intentions and desires when they’re travelling. Some locations are fit for some people, but not for others. Shenyang, on the other hand, is a well-rounded location that provides more than enough for every style of traveller. 

Whether you’re looking to visit a city off the beaten paths of tourism in China, whether you’re a history buff hoping to experience the many rich historical narratives, whether you want to experience a range of culture and diversity far from home, whether you’re a foodie interested in some delicious new treats, whether you just want to relax and spend some time with locals in a new place… you’re guaranteed to find it in Shenyang.

Even at this length, the article presented here cannot even remotely begin to explain all of the wonders to be found in the city of Shenyang, although I hope it has worked to spark your interest in visiting the city. The only advice I can provide now is to go and experience Shenyang for yourself.

You’ll be happy that you did!

With the addition of our newest team member, we became a travel family in April 2021 . We, Maartje and Sebastiaan, started travelling a few weeks after we met. Our tenth date was a trip to Cambodia and Laos, starting with the most amazing sunrise at the Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia. Now baby Linde has joined our family and we are not planning to stop travelling.

Linde already made her first big hike in our home country the Netherlands when she was seven weeks old. At three months, our family started a road trip around Europe, visiting Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland for over five weeks. Travelling with a baby turned out to be much easier than we imagined.

Especially because she was so young, Linde loved sleeping in her carrier on Sebastiaans chest and simply slept while we did amazing hikes and explored beautiful European cities. We didn’t bring a stroller and we would recommend all young parents to do the same and use a carrier instead. You’ll have no problem getting around during hikes or on the European cobble-stoned streets. We also loved how breastfeeding made travelling with her even easier, as we always had her food with us at the right temperature without worrying about bottles, cleaning, etc.

We are currently finishing up another longtime dream of us – building our own travel van for our family – and we are about to embark on another European road trip, exploring the southern European countries during the next winter for about 5 months. Linde will return to the Netherlands just in time for her first birthday, after spending about half her young life travelling!

#2 World Adventurists

A Canadian family of six based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Debbie & Darcy share their adventures on  WorldAdventurists.com . They started traveling with kids soon after their first was born. Madison was six months old on her first airplane ride and ‘big trip’ and they haven’t looked back since. they equally love a road trip or hopping on a plane. they are here to show you that travel can be for bigger families too and that adventures near and far are both valuable and worthwhile.

They make travel a top priority, and focus on independent, budget adventure travel, with a splash of luxury here and there. So far, the kids have mainly traveled around North America, with their favorite destinations being National Parks. They love exploring outdoors. They are planning their first big International trip with them for 2022.

Traveling with kids does get easier the more you do it, Debbie and Darcy tell other parents. However, you will always run into a few challenges anytime you travel with kids. Everything will take longer with all the extra bodies and little legs, including check-in, clearing security, and boarding a plane. Road trips also take longer with more stops along the way to curb restlessness. Leave room for flexibility in your travel plans and it will help you have a better time traveling together, they recommend. The more you travel, the more you will learn about stretching money further to travel more and spend less.

If you want to travel with your kids, you just must go! There will never be a “right” time. Take the leap!

#3 Smudged Postcard

Smudged Postcard is a family travel blog by Annabel Kirk, mother of two boys aged 10 and 7. The blog focuses predominantly on Europe with the UK and Italy being a particular focus.

They started travelling as a family straight away – their first trip was to Mallorca when their older son was 6 weeks old. In their opinion the best tip for family travel is to start immediately – then all the family will become accustomed to travelling together. They’ve had some fun adventures together – camping trips, sleeping on trains and hiking up mountains.

Italy is one of their favourite destinations for family trips as everyone is so welcoming and there are so many child-friendly attractions – including the food. They particularly love Sicily – it’s a great spring and autumn destination due to its southerly location, the weather is always mild. There are some great sandy beaches for little children and brilliant castles and ancient ruins to explore as well as an active volcano. They prefer to stay in independent family-run accommodation wherever possible – it’s the easiest way to make their travels more sustainable. In Italy, family-run agriturismo properties are the best as the food is grown locally and produced using authentic regional recipes. They’ve found Crete has some amazing independent hotels opening up too which they’ve enjoyed discovering.

They enjoy taking road trips – exploring the places in between destinations – and stopping at unknown places – sometimes they find an unexpected hidden gem. They’re lucky enough to have an electric car so their travel footprint is ever so slightly smaller than it used to be.

#4 Karpiak Caravan

The Karpiak family is an adventure travel-loving family that loves history, has an obsession with France, will always head to vineyards on child-free getaways and endlessly explores their beautiful province of British Columbia. You can read about their adventures on their travel blog Karpiak Caravan .

They started traveling as a family when their youngest was two months old and have never looked back. They try to incorporate and expose their young boys to educational travel and one of their favourite trips to date was their WWII-themed adventure across the Normandy Coast.

They happen to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth, the west coast of British Columbia and they heavily document their road trips to one of the many locations surrounding their home in the Okanagan. Their travel family loves adventure so you will often find them surfing the waves in Tofino or riding horseback at a dude ranch. If there is adventure to be had, they will find it!

Their best tip for traveling with kids is to make sure to schedule something just for your kids each day of your trip, whether it is time at a playground or taking them to an amusement park. This way, your kids will be much more inclined to do the thing you want to do knowing that they will get their own time to have their own fun too.

#5 Ruhls of the Road

This blog is about the travels of Zach, Julie and Indie, also known as Ruhls of the Road . They are a new travel family with the addition of their baby girl in February 2021. Before having a baby they were full-time travelers. They made a promise to continue their passion with their kids when the time came. Indie’s first trip was when she was 6 weeks old. She is now 8 months old and has been to 5 countries and 8 US states.

They are based in Utah, USA however they really lean into the remote work lifestyle by renting their house on Airbnb and traveling while it is rented out. Recently they spent 2 months in Spain, France and Germany and 2 months in Hawaii.

Their favorite destination for kids is Hawaii. Hawaii has wonderful soft beaches, many with calm lagoons that are great for swimming. It also has beautiful scenery for hiking or walking with your little one and delicious food including tasty new fruits for your child to try.

Their biggest tip for traveling with your child(ren) is to just do it! It has a learning curve at first, but the more you do it the easier it gets and the more adaptable your child becomes. It truly makes traveling even more special as you share these magical moments with your little one. Remember, time is a precious thing! Don’t wait to start making special memories with your family.

#6 The Rx for Travel

Rachel is the mom and blogger behind TheRxForTravel.com . She and her husband Michael have been travelers since their childhood. They knew they wanted travel to stay a part of their families’ story once they had kids. And now that they have a boy Roman who is 5 years old and a girl Eden who is 2 years old, they’ve been able to do just that. Roman started traveling at 9 months old when they took him out of the country to Montreal, Canada. It was a special trip for them as parents because they learned so much from that very first family adventure. It now helps them be able to provide practical advice to other families to make traveling with small children less intimidating.

Their best tip is to buy diapers at your destination (if it allows) and only bring what you need for the day of travel. This will save room in your luggage for other important items. Another great tip for traveling with children is to travel in the fall. It’s their favorite time of year because most places have cooler weather (at least compared to Florida). It is also typically less crowded as it is not the peak season because most kids are still in school.

They live in Central Florida, so most of the time they don’t have to travel far to find fun activities going on there year-round. No matter the place, there are always fun things to do with kids for every destination they write about. So, follow along on their families’ adventures.

#7 KarsTravels

KarsTravels is a family of 3. Cosette, Paul and Yuri, their 11-year old son. As a family, they live in Utrecht, the Netherlands. They love to road trip as a family. Their son’s first road trip was at 6 months old. They love to make road trips across North America or Europe. Load some stuff in the car and just drive. Stop to explore national parks, museums, historic sites, cities and sample the local cuisine. During their drives, they love listening to audiobooks. Staying at hotels and apartments for the night. When their son was younger they stayed mostly at campgrounds, since it’s so easy to make friends for kids then.

Their all-time favorite destination is the USA. They’ve been on 4 road trips in the States, one of which was cross country and 6 weeks long. They love to drive in North America. The US is perfect for this with plenty of things to do for families and suitable hotels to stay. In Europe their favorite destination for families is Norway. Kids are welcome everywhere and get special attention.

They started traveling as a family when their son was 6 months old. It was a road trip in the South of Germany. They enjoyed it so much that they did a California Road Trip when their son was 13 months old.

Their best tip for traveling as a family is to start with your kids as young as possible and to include in each trip something, for each person, that they love.

#8 Glorious Sunrise

As a family of four that includes two young kids ages four and seven, theirs is a happy and busy traveling unit. Now the Glorious Sunrise family usually travels only on weekends, long breaks or summer because of kids’ education and schooling, but they started traveling just after their first child was born seven years ago and never stopped. Their youngest is four now and they travel keeping his needs in mind.

Their blog covers travel tips and details about the areas they visit in California, with San Francisco as the center. As they are based out of the California’s Bay Area, they have visited many of the national parks in California including Yosemite national park, Pinnacles national park, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National parks and have an upcoming Halloween Camping trip at Death Valley National Park!

Their favorite destination with kids, apart from the golden city of San Francisco, is Point Reyes National Seashore. It has everything to keep all the members in the family happily engaged outdoors. The hikes are amazing with rewarding ocean views and whale sightings. There is a lighthouse at Point Reyes that is a bit of a hike, especially coming back uphill, but the views are gorgeous if you visit on a clear day. In summers there is fog sometimes, but you can plan your activities around it. Limontaur beach is also in Point Reyes and is a must-visit sunset spot.

Traveling with kids can be tricky if you are not prepared. They always carry paper towels, wet wipes, disinfectant wipes, extra clothes and plenty of snacks even if they go on a short road trip. Be prepared to stop for food, restroom breaks and more tiny breaks to keep the kids from getting cranky.

#9 Globalmouse Travels

Globalmouse Travels is run by a family that has been travelling since their children were babies. Now they are aged 14, 12 and 10 and they still love getting away with our kids.

Their favourite destination has to be Oman as the activities there are so wonderful, from sleeping in the desert with nomadic bedouins to watching endangered turtles hatch on the beach. They also love their trips to Scandinavia – skiing, taking husky dog sledge rides and enjoying the magical scenery, particularly in Lapland. They have been lucky enough to travel to Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway and really love these trips, particularly as the children have developed a firm love for skiing and all the winter sports.

Their best travel tip is to leave as much time as you can. Travelling with kids always takes much longer and it’s good to not have a really rigid schedule so you can stop and enjoy unexpected adventures. They find that travelling with kids really does open up doors and conversations and it’s really nice to have the time to enjoy these. They’d also say don’t put travel off. It’s easy to wait until you think children will be easier to travel with but start as you mean to go on and as young as possible. They have taken a seven-month-old to Cuba and a two-year-old to Russia, it’s all definitely doable and travel with kids is so much fun. Just make sure to take a sense of humour with you!

#10 Wandering Birds

Kathryn Bird spent a year exploring Europe in a motorhome with her teenage daughter and (slightly bewildered) husband, writing about their experiences on their family travel blog Wandering Birds . 

They never meant to travel full-time, and they certainly never meant to home-school their daughter through her end of school exams, but circumstances led them one step at a time down that path, until one day they woke up and found themselves at the top of a mountain in Switzerland, trying unsuccessfully to Google algebra equations.

They spent a year in a 7m motorhome and learnt a heck of a lot of things about van life with kids and living in close proximity to a teenager- including things they never really wanted to know!

Some of their favourite places in Europe include the incredible castles in Germany, the mountains in Switzerland (without the algebra) and the Italian lakes.

Kathryn’s top tips for travelling with a teenager include: always ALWAYS make sure they’ve charged their phone and EarPods before setting off for a long journey. Make sure they have a data cap on their phone before you start roaming into another country. And ban all body sprays inside the van. Teenagers don’t know when to stop spraying

Their daughter Jade is now in University studying law (home-schooling really helped her, pushing her grades up from Es and Fs to A*, As and Bs) but Kathryn and her husband are still travelling and enjoying van life around Europe. They now have a cocker Spaniel to replace the daughter, although she does come back for adventures as often as she can. 

#11 CS Ginger

CS Ginger is a family-based travel blog in the United States. Candice, Coltin and their kids love traveling the United States in their 35-foot Bounder motorhome. Their daughters are six, six, and two.

Their home base is in Idaho where they own long-term and short-term rentals. They do not travel full-time but will hit the road for two to three months at a time at least a couple of times a year. They started traveling right after they had their twin daughters. Too many people told them to leave their kids at home when they started traveling. The more they traveled with their kids, the more they wanted to show others there are so many fun travels you should do with your kids.  

They love visiting the national parks and the coastlines of the United States, searching for lighthouses and the best beaches. Candice and her family love visiting the small beach towns as well as the national parks because of the many different sceneries they offer and their love for the outdoors.

Their biggest piece of advice for traveling with kids is to just get out there and do it. There are always excuses of why you shouldn’t take the kids or how old they should be before taking them to certain places. They often see a common theme – we wanted to travel with our family but wanted to wait until our kids were older and then we all became too busy and so we never did. The time to adventure with your family is now. Each stage of your child’s life brings different adventures and sights.

#12 Diapers in Paradise

Dani’s family of four has been traveling since their oldest daughter was just 3 months old, and that is how Diapers in Paradise was born. They found it challenging to find good destination guides for people traveling with very little ones, so they decided to make them themselves. They are not full-time travelers, as they’re both working parents who have to be selective about taking time off for travel. But they have always made the most of the time that they do have, and learned early on that having a baby or a toddler – or both – does not mean that a family needs to stay close to home.

Their kids are now 3 and 5, so they are leaving the toddler travel age behind. But their favorite tip for those traveling with a baby is this: plan first for transportation. Finding safe transportation abroad without lugging your car seat everywhere is a challenge, but by staying near public transport and consolidating your days that require a car, you can ensure that you don’t have to travel by taxi without your car seat.

Their favorite destinations with kids so far have been in Southeast Asia. In Thailand in particular, they found the culture to be so incredibly welcoming to families and loving toward children. And the gorgeous beaches don’t hurt either! That trip, and other trips in the region, have been the best for their kids.

#13 Biker Girl Life

Kat from Biker Girl life never planned to get her own motorcycle, quit her job and go touring around Europe on bikes with her daughter and husband. She was quite happy sitting on the back of her husband, riding pillion.

But then their daughter grew up and wanted to come on the biking adventures too. So they needed a second bike. Cue a lot of nervous riding and trial and error before they found two touring bikes which worked for the three of them to travel- Triumph Scramblers.

They travel long-term around the UK and Europe, meaning they do longer trips during the school holidays and shorter ones at weekends or whenever they can. They’ve always tried to travel as much as possible around their daughter’s schooling- some years are easier than others.

Their favourite places for motorcycle touring have so far included Scotland, Norway and Germany- in particular around the Black Forest. 

Kat’s top tips for taking a kid on a motorcycle trip include riding at their pace. Not necessarily speed (she always wants to go faster) but duration. Travelling can be tiring so allow plenty of time to unwind and recover after each long day. Don’t force them to camp. If they hate it, use hotels or B and Bs instead. No one enjoys riding in the rain. Find an alternative plan for wet weather days. Also, include them in the planning. Get them excited about places you’ll be visiting and ask them to help choose the route or places to see. They’ll be much more engaged. 

#14 Our Offbeat Life

The family travel blog Our Offbeat Life is about the Cole Family, a full-time slow-traveling family of three. They sold everything and left their home in Chicago in 2019. After a three-month summer road trip in the eastern United States, they took a one-way cruise ship from Los Angeles to Singapore to launch our global adventure. 

Prior to the pandemic closing borders in SE Asia, they managed to visit Vietnam, Bali, Komodo Island, and Myanmar. Typically, they spend 1-3 months in each country unless it’s a pricier location, like Singapore. They were in Malaysia when borders closed in March 2020, and happily spent over a year there on tourist overstay amnesty. It’s easily their favorite place in SE Asia! Between the friendly people, tasty food, and diverse places to visit, they still feel like they barely scratched the surface after their prolonged stay there. In April 2021, they returned to the Americas to get vaccinated, and they are now in Mexico for a while. 

Their nine-year-old son has been homeschooling since they left to travel. Their best learning practice during our travels has been to incorporate learning into daily activities. It’s much more fun and productive to count sightseeing in an abandoned castle as history than doing school-at-home at your Airbnb’s kitchen table!

#15 Go Far Grow Close

The family travel blog Go Far Grow Close is 5 years old, but Nicole and her family already started their travel adventures began over 20 years ago. They have four children who are now between the ages of 16-24 years old and have been to over 40 countries.

The kids started travelling as soon as they were born. When they entered school, they continued travelling during school holidays. When their children were little, we chose destinations where it was a direct flight under 6 hours, provided a good medical system, offered accommodation that worked for a large family, and supplied lots of children-specific activities. They organized their itineraries to match their children’s needs – lots of beach, pool or playground time with afternoon naps.

Once the youngest turned 7, they opened up the world to them. Initially, they travelled all over Europe, but once they saw that they were comfortable and engaged travellers, they began what became their passion – adventure travel seeking authentic experiences. 

Their best family travel tip is to organize itineraries that best reflect the ages and interests of your children. That means when they are little, your holidays should have a lot of pool or beach time, and gaps in your daily itinerary for naps or downtime. No matter how much you have always wanted to go to the Louvre or shop in New York City, your young child will have only so much interest and stamina to do either. Your long term goal is to create little humans who love to travel and can not wait for the next adventure. If your children associate travel with unpleasant or boring activities, they won’t want to go the next time.

As they get older, you can make your itineraries more adventurous, sprinkling not only what your children may find interesting, but also what you want to see or do. Having said that, you need to make sure that your itineraries stay balanced. Not everyone has the same interests and yet, everyone needs to stay engaged. Every family is different but I found that if you acknowledge everyone’s different interests at some point on a trip, then they stay engaged and respectful even when what you are doing isn’t exactly what they want to do.

#16 Map Made Memories

Sinead writes about family travels on Map Made Memories . She has an adventure-loving, travel mad family of five who explore our home country, the United Kingdom, and around the world whenever we get the chance to travel.

They started travelling when the children were very young – their eldest child was just six weeks old on her first trip out of the U.K. Their children are now 16, 14 and 11 and travel forms a big part of their lives. They always travel on a budget and organise their trips themselves. They love camping, hiking and the great outdoors so they try to spend as much time as possible in rural locations. They like to travel light (hand luggage only) and they completed a year-long round the world trip with only carry-on bags. They fly as little as possible (as Sinead is terrified of flying!) and love to travel by train; their longest rail trip to date was from Hong Kong to the U.K, an epic journey that took several months.

Their favourite countries they have visited as a family are Argentina, Mongolia, New Zealand and Hawaii but they have many more on our wish list. Their best tip for travelling with kids is to slow down and to accept that travel with kids will be different to travelling as a solo or couple; some aspects will be harder (tantrums and lack of sleep) and some aspects will be so much better (seeing the world through their eyes). Plus, accept that you will spend a lot of time in playgrounds and looking for a public toilet!

#17 She Saves She Travels

Nikki is a travel writer and she blogs about her experiences traveling with her husband and two kids, ages 9 and 6 on the site  She Saves She Travels . Based in Omaha, they travel several times a year as a family, often bringing their golden retrievers on road trips!

One of the best road trips was a 20+ hour drive from Omaha, Nebraska to Glacier National Park in Montana. The family hiked the epic trails through snow and rocks, while swimming in alpine lakes and witnessing nature on display with stunning waterfalls. 

When kids learn to enjoy nature by seeing the world up close, hiking is a natural skill! Kids can work up to hiking by walking paved paths and building distance so that on the trail it becomes easier. Each kid also carries a backpack with water, snacks and layers. 

This traveling family also isn’t afraid of flying, either. After all, as a home base in Nebraska (the middle of the USA), it’s a short travel day to get to either coast or the Caribbean. Both kids have been flying since age one and are used to the sounds, sights and patience required for airplane travel. While it’s easier to fly with older kids, the key to young and old is plenty of activities and snacks. But isn’t that true for adults, too? 

#18 Our Woven Journey

Rodney and Karee Blunt are high school sweethearts, living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. They enjoy exploring the world together as a couple as well as with their six kids.

Although they love spending time on the Washington coast as a family, their two oldest are in college and most of their traveling is now with the younger children, ages 17, 15, 12, and eight.

The Blunts hope to encourage other families to take the steps needed to make their travel dreams come true. Families don’t have to travel full time to be world travelers. Taking even one trip a year is more than many families do. By sharing their travel reviews and itineraries on their blog, they hope to encourage others to travel to places they have been with their kids.

Traveling with a large family is expensive, yet Rodney and Karee feel it’s important to instill a love of travel in their children. This led them to look for ways to make travel more affordable so they could do it more often.

Their travel blog, Our Woven Journey , focuses on value-packed travel destinations for families as well as ways to use points and miles to book flights and hotels for free. They want others to know how easy it is to do and help teach families how they can do it, too.

One of their favorite travel tips to share with others is to get the Southwest Airlines Companion Pass. This is especially helpful if both parents have it so that two of their children can fly for free whenever they travel with the parents. 

#19 Zest In A Tote

Travel blogger Shweta from Zest In A Tote started traveling with her husband started with a trip way back in 2006 to the Andaman islands. They haven’t stopped ever since – together they have gone to more than 20 countries in between their regular corporate jobs. In 2011, their daughter got added to the equation. She accompanied them to the Maldives when she was 3-month old. And while they can remember several melt-down moments during trips with her between ages 1-3, she is a great travel companion. She falls in love with each new country she goes to and vows to make that place her home – Italy, Vietnam, USA west coast, Mauritius to name a few.

They believe that you don’t have to quit your day job to travel. A lot of research and planning goes in before any of their trips. As a family, they like to explore new countries and cities. Taking in top sights in a city, a bit of rest & relaxation, some adventure activities, and culture and food added to the mix is how they travel. Comfort is important to their family, but so is discovering new restaurants and quirky, off-beat places to stay. They mostly book comfort-to-luxury accommodation. They like trying out street food and small cafes. But they also end up eating occasionally at high priced restaurants.

Whatever be your style of travel, taking your kids everywhere and showing them the world will make you all bond better, is what they recommend. Their top travel tips to travel with kids would be to keep your expectations real, not to try and make everything like it is at home, not do only kiddie activities, and be open to new experiences.

#20 It’s a Family Thing

The Lewis family is the traveling family behind the blog It’s a Family Thing,  traveling full-time with our 2-year-old son. Their travel adventure started in January 2020 when their son was 14-months-old, and they decided to sell everything to travel the world.

Things got a little derailed, so they have spent the last year in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Playa Del Carmen has been their favorite destination so far because it feels like home. They have been embraced by our local community and have fallen in love with the children in their neighborhood. As a two-mom family with a little one, they were concerned, but they have embraced their son in a way they never thought was possible.

Since they travel with a little one, they have to adjust our travel plans to fit him. When traveling with toddlers, it is crucial to find ways to keep them entertained, so most of their activities are toddler-friendly. The best tip they can give for families traveling with young kids is to start young. 

Their son has been traveling since he was 8-weeks-old, so now he is a seasoned traveler at the tender age of two. If you want to travel with your baby or toddler, go for it. Do not let anyone discourage you from seeing the world with your little one, even if they are a baby (quiet as it’s kept) that is the best time to travel with your little one, so go for it.

#21 Sharing The Wander

Sharing the Wander is a family of four: Cynthia, Waker, and their two girls (7 and 4). After being home all together for 2020, they couldn’t imagine going back to working all day in offices and not seeing the girls until dinnertime. They were ready for a lifestyle change – or at least some long-term family time! They sold our house, and started travelling full time in June of 2021. They call it a Family Year Out, but they’re not sure where it will take them or where they will land!

So far, they’ve been road tripping across and around the United States (with a quick trip across the border into Canada!) in their Subaru Outback. They’ve visited more than a dozen National Parks, and done everything from hand-feeding bison in Wyoming, to digging for crystals in Arkansas.

One of their best travel tips, is to set clear expectations for the kids. Their kids know when they will have a long travel day, when their parents have a fun activity planned, and how long they stay at each stop. Their kids thrive on schedules, which is really tough when travelling. They build in time for them to do schoolwork on iPads, and also have some time at playgrounds, where they often make quick friends.

They are hoping to start their international travels in January of 2022, starting with Mexico, where they are hoping to join their first world school pop-up, then hopefully head to Japan! They’re hoping to also go to New Zealand, South Africa, Scotland and more. They’ve had to be incredibly flexible, planning ahead as much as possible, but also keeping everything fluid and refundable.

#22 CosmopoliClan

Sarah is a former hotel professional and the blogger behind CosmopoliClan . Traveling is what she loves most and she’s passed on that travel-itch to her husband Fatih and their girls Alegra (12) and Jade (9).

They live in the medieval city of Ghent in Belgium but have traveled around Europe, to the Middle East, Latin America and just about a dozen of US States including Hawaii. Even though their day jobs and schools offer a limited degree of flexibility in planning our trips, they always made it work. Even a pregnancy couldn’t stop them. Now they’re getting to a stage where the girls pick their destination, which is so much fun. They usually stay at hotels and, since they love the finer things in life, a touch of luxury is never far away.

The blog is their way of inspiring other parents to overcome their doubts and just take that family trip no matter the kids’ age. Yes, traveling with little ones can be challenging – they know all about it – but it’s also incredibly rewarding. Their children have learned to be open towards new cultures, to be curious and to deal with unforeseen circumstances. And most of all, family travel has given an extra dimension to their mutual bond simple because they’ve experienced so much together. Taking the time to escape the daily grind and discovering new places together, learning new things and finding new passions has really brought them even closer. What’s really heartwarming to see for them as parents is that their girls are best friends and they attribute that to our worldwide adventures. Traveling in itself is awesome but, to us, traveling as a family is next-level.
