Travel Blogs List

If you want to see the best travel blogs all in one place, then you’ll LOVE this regularly updated list.

It’s no secret that I think travel blogs are awesome!

Why?

See my thoughts here:

The Benefits Of Using Travel Blogs To Help Plan Your Trips

But given there are so many on the internet (over 68 million!), it can be hard to find good ones that are kept up to date.

The good news is I’ve done the hard work for you.

This post was originally my personal list of favourite blogs. Kept on an Evernote file I regularly referred back to it when looking for inspiration or planning trips.

Now I’ve put it into this form, as it makes it really easy to find exactly what I’m looking for, and hopefully you can too….

I’ve split this post down into categories so it’s easy to navigate, and I’ve put the blogs into the section I feel is most relevant, though some may cover a number of topics….

And am constantly updating the list as I find new blogs, or have other bloggers make contact with me….

….So hopefully this will become the ultimate directory of the best travel blogs.

Useful Tools for Booking Your Sabbatical

Flights

I always use Skyscanner or Agoda alongside Google Flights to make sure I’ve got the best price. I use Google Flights to save a route and monitor price changes and a combination of Skyscanner and Agoda to get the cheapest tickets. 

If you are in the UK I would also highly recommend signing up for Jack’s Flight Club to get incredible flight deals sent to your email inbox every week.

Accommodation

When booking accommodation I always start with Booking.com as they generally have the best range and prices. I also regularly use Airbnb for longer stays and apartments in cities (use this link for £25 off your first stay). For a different experience try signing up to Housecarers for free house-sitting opportunities (get 10% off membership with this link).

Insurance

Travel insurance might seem like an unnecessary cost, but when a flight gets cancelled, injury occurs or you damage a piece of gear you’ll regret not paying in advance. I’ve used  World Nomads for two sabbaticals and (after badly damaging a hire car in Laos!) found the claim process to be simple and transparent.

Tours

Using local guides is one of my favourite travel tips. The easiest way to find a local guide is to use Get Your Guide who offer tours with local guides all over the world.

Gear

Check out my gear page for my favourite travel gear, here for a detailed 3-month packing list for men and women and here to find 38 great travel gifts.

Transfers

Getting from the airport to your destinations is an added stress after a tiring flight, so take the guesswork out and pre-book with JayRide.com. Their prices often beat the local taxis and I've found them to be reliable and easy to use.
