The 31 Best Travel Blogs
of 2024

“Traveling shouldn’t be just a tour, it should be a tale.”

Amit Kalantri

I’m not going to lie: I think I have a pretty good travel blog. You probably do too if you’re here. Plus, if you’re like me, then you already understand the importance of curating your social media and inbox to only include the best of the best when it comes to travel blogs and travel-related content.

If so, let’s get straight to the best travel blogs of 2024→ 

You have a busy life and other things to do. While you may have the best of intentions when signing up for a newsletter, you can also easily find yourself inundated with advice and “hacks” that aren’t necessarily relevant to you.

So why bother?

Why should I use (and support) travel blogs?

Travel blogs can be rich with highly in-depth travel and destination information that could prove very very helpful when it comes to dreaming about, planning, and executing travel.

These are great resources for a variety of audiences, from students to nomads, budget backpackers to travel agencies, and beyond.

Travel blogs didn’t used to be so popular. Let’s be honest. Even 5 to 10 years ago, if one of your friends told you they were going to start a blog, would you not respond with a tired groan and an eye roll?

But over the years, as more and more people choose to spearhead their own adventures rather than opting for a professional travel advisor, free online resources like travel blogs became an integral part of the planning process.

At the end of the day, reading a good travel blog should feel like you’re getting advice from a personal friend who knows what you like and what you don’t.

“Who actually follows travel blogs anyway?
Can’t I just search for a specific topic on Google or Pinterest and move on?”

Planning a trip in 2024 means that finding travel blogs you “click” with (no pun intended) are no longer optional.

There are sooo many reasons why you should actually take the time to get to know your favorite travel bloggers, rather than just taking a “skim and pin” approach…

It’s tempting when you’re planning a trip (or even searching for destination inspiration), to search on Pinterest and take the first ten links as gospel.

But then you wouldn’t be really doing your homework.

Related: This Must be the Place

Remember when I said reading a travel blog should feel like getting advice from a personal friend? Well, I should probably be more specific. You wouldn’t just go to any friend to ask for inspiration or advice. Could you imagine if someone asked you for places to eat, where to stay, and what to do at a destination you’ve never been to?

I didn’t think so.

You would go to a friend that knows a good deal about that topic and can help guide you based on your own specific interests and goals.

When you’re investing money into travel, you should only seek the best tips and advice from the people who know best.

The internet is FULL of people who love to talk and share. But if you don’t know who a blogger is and what they’re about, it’s difficult to know whether or not their advice is, or will eventually be, helpful to you.

So how can you tell?

Every travel blogger starts their blog for a reason. These reasons can be all across the board, from simply a way to make money to fund their travels, to a creative outlet, to a platform to share with a variety of friends and family what they’re up to.

But they all have one thing in common:

People start travel blogs because they don’t believe their stories, insights, or advice (read: their content) can be found anywhere else.

There would be little point to me writing content if I thought you could go elsewhere to find it. While know my insights are unique, I also know there are still parts of the world I haven’t traveled…yet.

I’ve researched all corners of the internet far and wide to find you the best, most unique travel blogs that you should be following in 2024.

How to find the best travel blog to reference for your next trip

The best travel blogs shine on their own.

Nevertheless, if I’m going to tell you I’ve found the best of the best, I can’t pick and choose based on a gut feeling alone (though I definitely used that, too).

What’s the saying about teaching a man (you) to fish (find the best travel blog for your personal needs)? Sure, I can give you a list and send you on your merry way. But what will you take away beyond yet-another bookmark in your sea of 20,000 other travel blog links?

Related: 25 Lessons from the Road

I want to teach you how to find the best travel blogs on your own. The internet changes every minute, and while publishing a “best of in 2024” list is helpful right now, who knows if or when this list will get dated and I’ll have to start from the beginning?

You shouldn’t need to wait on me, that’s for sure.

So what’s the criteria to be considered one of the “best” travel blogs? Here’s what you should look for when sourcing travel inspo for yourself and your friends:

1. Minimal ads & pop ups.

Needless to say, it’s a nightmare when you click on a Pinterest link thinking it’s exactly what you’re looking for, only to be so inundated with pop-ups and ads that you can’t even find the information you actually need.

It isn’t just a bad user experience; it can get damn near impossible to wade through everything just to get what you need, especially if you’re on mobile.

So if you get more than one pop-up in the first 10 seconds of your browsing experience, go ahead and say your goodbyes to another bad blog.

2. Actual experience.

Everyone has to live somewhere (unless you’re a nomad, but just stick with me for a second). So generally, you know your favorite places to eat and drink, where to stay, and fun activities to do in between. This means a travel blogger should at minimum be an expert on their own city. That’s step number one, and usually pretty easy to tell.

Where it gets tricky is when they start to travel. What kind of advice are they offering about travel itself? Are they sharing personal stories of various destinations, or just sharing “tips and reviews”?

It should go without saying, but it’s surprisingly easy to “fake” experience if you know enough about internet trends, keyphrases, etc. So you’ll want to be sure that the travel bloggers you follow have actually been to the destinations they’re writing about. They should include personal stories, photos of themselves doing the things that they’re talking about, and even names of people they met along the way.

Related: Why it’s okay to be selfish

This will not only help you get to know them to see if your personalities align, but it will also make sure that the advice they’re giving you is legit.

3. A clear voice & niche.

Every travel blogger should have a strong sense of their own identity. They can’t be everything to everyone, so knowing where to hone their travel blogging skills will not only be helpful for creating great blog content; it’s also helpful for you as the reader.

In other words, if you know what to expect from them, it’s a lot easier to feel like that travel blogger can be your “go to” on their topic of expertise.

Here are a few different “niches” in the world of travel blogs that you might be on the lookout for depending on your personality or individual trip itinerary.

Types of Travel Blog “Niche” Examples

  • Adventure
  • Backpacking
  • Budget
  • Luxury
  • Nomadic
  • Parents & Family-Friendly


There are also a variety of different types of travel blog
topics that most people have their own expertise in. Here are a few examples:

  • Adrenaline & Amusement Parks
  • Art & Theater
  • Destination-Specific
  • Food & Cooking
  • Photography
  • Sports & Fitness

Once you not only realize that there are different types of travel blogs, but that you can actually pick and curate your own feeds to fit your own goals, finding your own favorite blogs to follow is relatively easy.

In case you were dying to know, Of Whiskey & Words is more than a travel blog; it’s a lifestyle blog that involves a significant amount of traveling (with a focus on adventure travel).

Related: OW&Ws Pre-departure Checklist

To take it one step further, I’ll give you an example. Let’s say your goal is to visit every baseball stadium in the USA. How do you even know where to start?

While you may want to feel like you’re planning the trip yourself, you’re also probably going to need some help (unless you’re an expert road tripper, baseball fanatic, and bucket list guru. In which case, maybe you should start your own blog instead!).

Would you rather:

  1. A) Find a bucket-list blog that talks about how to visit every [insert destination here] in the country;
  2. B) Find a USA road-trip niche blog and adapt certain advice for what you need; or
  3. B) Find a baseball-themed blog with reviews of some specific stadiums?

The answer: All three! If you follow these three (hypothetical) travel blogs, you should be able to feasibly combine the best of all of their expertise to make your trip the best it can be.

Hack: You can also personally contact each of the blogs above and ask them to do a write-up of the best ways to hit every baseball stadium in the country. Who knows? Maybe they’ll write a whole article with your trip as the inspiration! At the very least, they can give you some pretty dope advice straight back at you, each from their own point of view.

4. Routine Updates & Maintenance.

There are two main things to look for in the quality of a travel blog: Updates & Maintenance.

Routine Updates on a Travel Blog: Too much versus not enough

When you visit a travel blog, you should expect to see an entire timeline of posts surrounding fresh topics. If you visit a travel blog in 2022, and the last post they created was dated 2019 or before, there’s not to say that there aren’t good resources somewhere inside; what that does tell me is that the person is probably not as much of a frequent contributor as I would like.

Do you know how many travel blogs have been abandoned because travelers can’t keep up with them? (Spoiler Alert: It’s in the thousands.)

So when they don’t post at a minimum of once a month, there should be a proper explanation for why. Are they revamping their platform? Going on a silent retreat for six months? You as the reader should not be expected to invest time into seeking advice from a travel blogger who isn’t very active.

Travel Blog Maintenance

Because I work for a web agency, I know how easy it is to break a website. If implemented incorrectly, a single plugin can take down the entire infrastructure of a blog!

So if someone takes their travel blog seriously, they’ll know better than to go without proper maintenance. You should not see ANY lines of code anywhere on the site; scrolling should be smooth; the reading experience should be easy; and (again) pop-ups should be minimal.

Additionally, if a travel blog doesn’t look good on mobile, you can probably guess that it won’t be very helpful for you in the long term.

How to support your favorite travel blogs

1. Frequently visit the site & sign up for emails.

Many travel bloggers make their money on a combination of ad revenue and being able to leverage their “influence” to get services at a discount or for free. By visiting the site frequently, you’ll be empowering your favorite travel blogs to continue doing what they do best—serving you great content.

2. Reach out personally & ask questions. 

I personally love when people reach out to me—especially strangers who discovered my travel blog organically. Not only do I love helping people, but it also just lets me know that I’m doing a good job with publishing content and providing resources to the travel community (and aspiring travelers) if people see me as a resource myself. But more than an ego boost, it’s a chance for me to help give you more personalized advice and suggestions for your specific situation, dreams, and budget.

3. Save their links on Pinterest.

Remember when I said travel bloggers can make money on site visits? A big part of generating new users to a travel blog in 2024 is via Pinterest. So one of the best ways you can support your favorites are to save their links on Pinterest, especially for articles you actually want to bookmark and reference later!

4. Follow their other social media—and share their links on your own feed.

Pinterest may be the content king when it comes to travel blogs, but that doesn’t mean other social media isn’t important, too! Most travel blogs post reminders and updates to social media that you won’t find on their website or newsletter list. After all, the best travel bloggers diversify their content across platforms, so you can enjoy a variety of different types of content from your favorites. It’s also a really easy place to engage with them and show your appreciation by commenting on and sharing their content with your own friends and family.

5. Follow their advice—then follow up afterwards.

I remember when I first started traveling, I leaned heavily on the advice of travel bloggers to help get me started. If it weren’t for my favorites, I wouldn’t be the travel blogger I am today. So when someone gives you advice on where to go, what to do, or what to eat in a destination (or simply just how to quit your job and live abroad) trust that you can take it. But the best part? Tell them afterwards that you took their advice. Tell them where you went, what you did, and what you ate. They’ll love hearing your feedback, and if they haven’t been back to a particular destination, you may even be able to provide them important updated information about their advice that they can then share with the rest of their audience!

Ready to find your new favorite blogs? Without further adieu, here is the official Of Whiskey & Words Ranking of the Best Travel Blogs of 2024.

If you’re in constant pursuit of the perfect “Instagrammable” hot spots when you travel, Not a Nomad will be your new go-to travel blog.

Why it’s one of the best travel blogs of 2024:

If you have been to Of Whiskey & Words before, you’ll know that I’m not always in favor of completely dropping everything to travel the world; but rather finding a life of balance. One of the things that resonates most about Not a Nomad is that Monica shares a lot of helpful insight into the balance between holding a stable job and traveling the world—because yes, you can do both.

25. The Culture Map

Based in the UK, the content on The Culture Map is appropriately named, as it actually comes from an entire community of contributors who each have unique ideas and post concepts that, when brought together, really do combine into a culture in itself.

Why it’s one of the best travel blogs of 2024:

Sometimes you want to find niche travel blogs. Other times you want to find the people and the content that’s going to keep you guessing. From lockdown date activities to stories from Scandanavia and the Arctic, the variety of contributors on The Culture Map seem to cover it all.

26. Migrationology

I wouldn’t consider myself a “foodie,” but following Migrationology makes me want to change my mind. If you travel specifically to experience other cultures through their food, this one may be a great travel blog for you to start following in 2024.

Why it’s one of the best travel blogs of 2024:

Mark’s storytelling ability and the way he shares culture with others through food is deeply inspiring and something we could all use a little more of in our inboxes this year.

28. The Travel Book

The Travel Book, founded by a young couple, follows a very specific mission: upholding environmentally conscious travel habits and sharing eco-friendly travel tips with the world. The environmental impacts of travel are HUGE—and most travel bloggers don’t like talking about it. But The Travel Book leans right in and shares all of the different ways they have stayed aware of their impacts on the environment and taken steps to reduce that impact.

Why it’s one to follow in 2024:

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you understand how important climate issues are (and have been for a long, long time). But the effects of tourism on the environment don’t have to be detrimental, and The Travel Book is leading the narrative on exactly how. Not to mention, their Instagram account is STUNNING.

29. Lovicarious

Ever heard of a microadventure? Me either, until I found Lovicarious. One of the telltale signs of a good travel blog is when the content focuses on a new angle of travel. Yes, we’ve seen destination-specific blogs; “themed” blogs; and blogs that talk about booze, books, and love. Lovicarious is literally creating a new term in the industry that basically encompasses the types of “adventures” that don’t require a packing list.

Essentially, day trips, date ideas, and even at-home activities that all feel more adventurous and exciting than what you might expect otherwise.

None of these best travel blogs scratching your itch?

Start your own using my “How to start a travel blog  guide for everything you need to know!

There are so so many free options available, across a variety of providers, for you to be able to share your own unique experiences with the world. Maybe you can’t find your niche because it’s unique to you and nobody has thought of it before—or maybe they did, and you weren’t impressed.

That’s probably a good sign that you have potential to be the expert in a new topic. Plus, how cool would it be for you to pioneer a new niche in travel blogging?

If you aren’t quite ready to make the leap, you can also reach out to collaborate with other bloggers with established platforms. I am personally always inviting guest bloggers to use my platform to share their own stories and insights that I know I couldn’t get anywhere else.

Stay Gold.

  16. I totally agree with everything you said here! It’s easy to Google but do they give you legit and quality content? I don’t think so. I myself follow a number of travel vloggers that I feel are invested in what they are doing. I want to feel what they are experiencing by reading and watching what they share on their trips. Plus, they are really helpful when I plan a trip with friends. It is easy to make an itinerary that everyone will love if someone you’ve been following already experienced the fun in it. Aside from that, I get to see cool stuff they use to make their experiences last. One site I follow is bestportableproducts.com. Traveling and other outdoor activities are easier when you have the right tools. Enjoy!
