13 Unique and Exciting Travel Blogs To Follow in 2020

I have always been a traveler.

In my 20’s, I took every opportunity to travel anywhere. It didn’t matter where, all over the US, Europe, the Caribbean. Anytime someone needed a travel pal, I was there with my overpacked suitcase ready to ride.

Fast forward to family, the discovery of Pinterest, a bit of self-control and less spontaneity, and I am travel planning like a boss. I read every travel blog I can find on the subject. I love that I can research a destination from someone who had been there before me, and not someone who had a horse in the race if you know what I mean — a real person, with real, honest experiences, good and bad.

Travel blogs are full of inspiration, advice, and funny stories in their little space on the internet.

And, I can travel vicariously through their words. Oh, I became a travel blog aficionado, borderline addict. And then, I became a travel blogger myself. If you dream of travel and then sharing your inspiration with the world, then become a travel blogger. Here is how.

Travel blogs will inspire you and help you to travel better, safer, smarter, cheaper, and with confidence.

I have met countless travel bloggers during my journey. I am eternally amazed by their creativity, humor, and sense of adventure. Lately, a few have shined, in my opinion, and I want to share them with you.

*Note: The travel blogs are listed in alphabetical order so as not to rank them or imply favoritism.*

Bon Voyage With Kids is a family travel blog jam-packed with information. Keri is a lifetime traveler who now is traveling with kids. Her goal is to inspire you to enjoy your travel journey from door to door.

I first heard Traveling Tanya on a Podcast. She was quite a bit ahead of me at the time in her travel blogging journey, but not so far that her words didn’t resonate with me. I have been following her lead, ever since then.

We have many similarities in that we love every part of travel; planning, packing, learning about different cultures, visiting new places, trying new foods, and checking out every gift shop and boutique along the way.

Traveling Tanya is full of advice and tips on destinations, lodging, budget travel, and dining. But, my favorite part is being on her email list. We all have that email that we always open up first. Mine is Traveling Tanya. Her emails are authentic and full of travel goodness.
