My 7 paborito Travel Blogs of 2015
My 7 paborito Travel Blogs of 2015
|
I remember visiting this website once...
It was called My 7 paborito Travel Blogs of 2015
Here's some stuff I remembered seeing:
I love travel stories — whether entire books, short stories, or blog posts. I can never get enough!
Since I’m on my computer so often, I’m always looking for new blogs to quench my literary thirst. I read hundreds of new blogs each year, and most of them I decide I can live without. But I always find a few gems, and I want to showcase the blogs I started reading often in 2015:
Kiersten’s site focuses on the intersection of fashion and travel. She gives tips and advice for women
on what wear, pack, and see while overseas and focuses more on higher-end, comfort travel than I do. I think her blog is one of the best for female travelers and, though it’s not targeted to me, I find useful information that I share with others. Kiersten and I are friends, and I love seeing her site grow and expand, especially over the last year. She seems to be everywhere!
This popular YouTube channel by Nadine Sykora documents her experiences as she travels around the world. Nadine’s zany, nerdy take on travel makes her videos entertaining to watch! She’s funny, smart, and a bit awkward, but her filmmaking style really puts you there in the destination with her. There’s a reason she’s one of the biggest travel channels on YouTube!
Gary Leff is the “OG” of travel hacking. While I read many travel-hacking blogs, I follow Gary because he provides industry analysis and behind-the-scenes information on loyalty programs and airlines. Gary doesn’t just provide trip reports or share deals and reward opportunities, he gives you context and greater understanding of how travel hacking and airlines operate.
This is my go-to resource for all travel-related news and industry information. It breaks stories and provides detailed analysis on the latest trends in travel, on both the business and consumer sides of the industry. If you love travel as much as I do and think listening to what CEOs have to say about revenue and consumer tastes is fun, this is the only website that’s worth reading.
I’m sure you’re surprised to see BuzzFeed listed here, but hear me out: sometimes all you want is a little inspirational list to get you through the day. That’s BuzzFeed. Its simple, easily digestible stories and portraits of travelers make me feel good. It may not have long-form writing or loads of practical tips, but it brings inspiration to others, and I’m a fan of its quirky angles and funny stories!
My kindred spirit, Earl is a vagabonding nomad backpacker like myself. We both love budget travel, backpacking, blogging, and everything in between (and yes, we’re good friends in real life too). I read Earl’s blog because he goes to places few people ever visit (Kurdistan, anyone?) and tells raw, honest travel stories that don’t sugarcoat the travel experience. Very few blogs do that, and for that, I think he’s one of the best travel websites out there. I’ve been reading him for years and he deserves a feature! (He’s also one of the few other bloggers I know that doesn’t accept sponsored content or trips!)
Mark and I go back to the days when I was living in Bangkok. Mark blogs about food, especially Asian food. He’s my food guru when it comes to all things Southeast Asian and has detailed information on where to eat and what to order throughout the region. But more than that, he tells the story of the place and its culture through the food he’s eating. It’s not just about what dishes to order — it’s about how food has shaped culture and vice versa.
These seven blogs aren’t the only ones I read, and since it’s been awhile since I’ve written about my favorite travel blogs, here’s a list of my favorites from pervious years that shouldn’t be forgotten:
There you have it: my current reading list of websites and blogs! I hope you add them to your reading list and enjoy them as much as I do.
Great tips, I’m going to check them!
Great list! I’m already familiar with a few of these blogs but looking forward to discovering the rest.
No better way to gear up for the new year than a few blogs to inspire you! Thanks for sharing Matt, hope to one day make the list. (=
Great list! I’ll have to check out Nadine’s site. Looks interesting. I think yours, Be My Travel Muse and This American Girl are my top 3. Maybe one day I’ll make on a list like this. Until then, I’ll keep writing from the heart. Thanks for posting.
R&K is, outside of travel hacking anyways, the only blog I make an effort to read every single day. Such solid story telling! How come you haven’t ever written up a story for them?
thank you so much for the tips. some of the blogs are totally new to me, definitely I will check on that ASAP. enjoy your stay in bangkok and happy new year. wish i could be there.
I love these new suggestions! I’m a long time fan of Alex, too- and Blonde Abroad has a gorgeous site. Thank yo .
Glad to see our blog referenced Matt! Sending you positive vibes for 2016 🙂
Migrationology definitely looks like my kind of blog. Thanks for the list 🙂 I hope that you all have a lovely new year!
I really enjoy your posts! They’re always insightful and full of valuable content. I started traveling last summer, and I’m not sure how it took this long… but I recently found your blog, and I’m loving the content. This list will be several more travel related blogs to mull over.
I’d say the list is as intriguing as anything. Some of the posts in those blogs have actually inspired me to take a Road Trip this summer. And it was fantastic, driving my Campervan to the roads and streets of Sydney and Adelaide was just a delight. Will try to hit the road in May once again. Chow.
These blogs give the great information about traveling. These are quite resourceful blogs.
Thanks for the list! As I dive into this crazy world of travel blogging, it’s always nice to see what the pros are doing. I’m always looking for inspiration 🙂
Thanks for sharing these great blogs, Matt. I’m going to put them on my reading list for 2016! Hope you have a wonderful NYE tonight
Thanks for sharing your favorite travel blogs! I am a traveller myself and I’ve been a fan of yours for years! You doing a great job and deserve all the success you had! Wish you an even greater 2016!!
There are so many great blogs out there, but it’s so difficult to keep up with all of them, but I do my best 🙂 You’ve listed some blogs I haven’t heard of before. So there are more blogs to add onto my list now 🙂
Great list Matt! Such an effective route to find inspiration and new connections no matter what our interests may be. Would it be possible to create sub-list from this post? I’d love to see lists of which of the several blogs you enjoy most within a specific focus such as travel news stories, airline deals, foods, fashion, or travel quotes/inspiration? As I know your blog has inspired me for so long now. Thanks! Happy New Year 🙂
Migrationology is absolutely great. I love his videos. I watch a lot of them before going to SE Asia.
I love Hey Nadine and A Blonde Abroad, they’re both fantastic blogs! Alex In Wanderland is also one of my favourites. I didn’t know many of the blogs on this list though, and I am so glad to have found them!
Thanks Matt for showing us some great, informative and inspirational Travel Blogs. We would have loved to meet you in Bangkok. Unfortunately we’re on another continent (Latin America) right now. I read that you’re heading to Argentina. That’s awsome. Have fun with the Gauchos!

Pumped to be included! Thanks Matt. It made my day.
Thanks for sharing your favorite travel blogs! I am a traveler myself and I’ve been a fan of yours for years! You doing a great job and deserve all the success you had! Wish you an even greater 2016!!
Hey Matt, I’m thinking about starting my own blog – Is there a certain blog type you think I should start with so as to best build experience to get a job blogging later?
Thanks for the shoutout Matt! It’s been an amazing year!
Thank you Matt for sharing. I love reading your blog, a motivation for my own new blog!
Great list of travel blogs. My favourite is buzz feed. Should be on the top of the pile. Looking forward to the new list of travel blogs 2016!
Wandering Earl, well deserved! Thanks for the list and bringing new names into the spotlight.
Great list, thanks for sharing Matt! Some of the blogs you mentioned have been bookmarked on my computer for a while (like A Blonde Abroad and Alex in Wonderland). Others, like Skift and View From The Wing, are new to me and since I’m always looking for some background info and better understanding of what’s going on in the travel and aviation industry, they’ll be bookmarked as well 😉
Always happy travels from a fellow travel blogger!
Superb 🙂 as a very amateur blogger and travel, this list is perfect to encourage me to not give up

I stumbled upon your blog/website when looking up travel sites – its fantastic. I have wanted to start my own travel tour company for women for 20 years now and go stuck doing something else. Anyway I am nearing that time I feel and your site has given me inspiration. Thank you, its such a great read and gives me so much hope that my dreams and wishes can come true. Cheers Anne Smith Sydney Australia.
