You must really love travel to be checking out our new ‘My Travel CV’ page. Here we talk to other travel blog writers about their experiences and get to ask them any question we want – oohhh the power. See the bottom of this page to find out who our latest travel blogger interview was with.
We love reading travel blogs, and find them a really useful travel resource whilst planning our own around the world tour. We’re always interested to learn a bit more about our favourite travel blog writers and are sometimes surprised, when after following a blogger for many years, we discover something new about them from reading an on-line interview.
As part of our trip there are still many destinations we dream of visiting, we have yet to fully explore Europe and are yearning to get back to Italy. Our own experience offers one limited perspective on what its like to travel, so here we share what others have to say about travel. We think by telling the stories of other travellers, providing different insights about their own personal journeys and highlighting different destinations from around the world, you will have the opportunity to make new friends among the travel community.
I don’t know the exact number of current up to date travel blogs on-line right now, and if I did it would most probably would’ve increased by the time I posted this page. Being on the road and travelling on a long-term basis its sometimes difficult for us to keep engaged with the travel community. This is another reason for us to create this page by sharing we’ll be learning who is out there.
Just take a look at a list of niche travel blogs, straight off the top of my head, it took me around a minute to write this. Of course there are many more categories, even blogs dedicated to blogging about travel blogs.
Solo Travel, Couple Travel, Women Travel, Backpacking, Luxury Travel Blogs, Around the World Travel, Gay Travel, Travel Blogs about Food, Destination Specific Expert Blogs, Career-Break Blogs, Twenty-Something Blogs, Teaching Abroad Blogs, Travel Gear Blogs, Independent Travel, Travel Finance Blogs, Long-term travel, Budget Travel Blogs, Family Blogs, Adventure Travel Blog, Older Travel, Skiing Travel Blogs, Spa, Cruise, Vacation Blogs, Travel Photography Blogs, Diving Blogs, Travel Tips and Advice Blogs etc ….. Our favourite being Flashpacking travel blogs 😉
With so much happening in travel blogging, it can almost be impossible to stay informed about new travel bloggers, or travel bloggers in a niche that you are unfamiliar with yourself. Hopefully, this new feature will allow regular visitors to our site to discover travel bloggers that they may not have come across on the internet.
Thankfully not every blogger in the travel community is an arrogant, egotistical little prig, as it would make for a very boring place. Having said that, I do follow some great bloggers who may be edging towards inclusion in this category, but they are highly amusing and at the same time can be informative.
Ironic as it may seem, some bloggers can be quite shy about self-promotion and their main purpose for writing a blog is to engage and share with the travel community. So if you have a favourite travel blogger, and don’t think they’re doing enough to shout about their great travel blog, share this page with them, and hopefully they’ll get in touch.
In reality most travel blog writers are somewhere in between these two extremes. So if you’d like to share your blog with others then please check out our Travel Blog Guest Post Submission Page.

India Car Rental and Driver Hire
How to Rent a Car and Driver in India We’d like to share our experience, and a few of the stories we learned about renting a car and driver from our two week tour of Rajasthan. Like arranging other things in India, it is not always as simple or easy as you may first imagine. […]
Photo Flashback – Kerala Kathakali Dance
We are not really ones for the cultural shows that you regularly find in travel destinations. Often they are a thin representation of the actual song or dance traditions of a community, overpriced and leave you feeling a little bit cheated. This was certainly the case in Waitangi doing the Haka with some actors. Sometimes […]
Goa Retirement, Revamps and a bit of Home Cooking
We hang about in Goa for our remaining time in India sampling foods from home and join the large expat community and retired folk enjoying what is on offer. We had decided in Udaipur that it was time to invest some time doing some work on the blog. Our traffic has been growing steadily over […]
Udaipur And A Break From Travel Blogging
For those arriving at this travel blog post hoping to find out detailed information about our experiences and things to do in Udaipur, leave now, as you’ll need to look elsewhere instead. The hectic schedule of our last two weeks on the road with our driver had wearied us a little. The thought of seeing […]
India Rajasthan and Golden Triangle Itinerary
Two Week Itinerary for Rajasthan and the Golden Triangle You can get to see some of the top sights in Rajasthan and the Golden Triangle in India in fourteen days or less, it will not be a restful experience, but you will gain a lifetime of memories and images from the magnificent Taj Mahal to […]
Jodhpur and the Road to Udaipur
Jodhpur – The Blue City It was a long drive to Jodhpur, our second to last destination in Rajasthan, before waving off our driver. The three restful days in Jaisalmer and our separation from each other had allowed driver and passenger relations to be restored to more friendly less tense mood levels. So we set off […]
In our last travel blog post I mentioned that I had done another diving course. I’ve included some underwater photographs and videos taken whilst I was on this course. We stayed in Bohol, longer than anywhere else in the Philippines, because of the excellent diving sites at very reasonable prices. Bohol is a magnet […]
A delay in this post has been caused by very slow internet connections throughout the last part of our travels in the Philippines. Apologies. However, it now means you have a fun packed bumper blog of travel frustrations, cute monkeys, the chocolate hills and a small slightly disappointing beach. Weather Retreat Given the weather we […]
Donsol, Whale Sharks and Legazpi
Reluctant as we were to leave the beauty of Saud beach we had a lot more Filipino treasures to explore. From the relaxing, serene shores of Saud beach, we headed south towards Donsol in search of some whale sharks. The weather proved challenging, but the wildlife made it all worthwhile. From Pagudpud we reversed […]
Ilocos Norte, Pagudpud and Saud Beach
The ‘Borocay of the North’ is the strapline trying to attach itself to this beautiful part of Ilocos Norte in the Philippines. While I cannot make the comparison yet, I believe Saud Beach in Pagudpud really is a little hidden gem that may eventually give its more famous southern cousin a run for its peso. We […]
Manila and the road to Pagudpud
We arrived in the Philippines on board another Jetstar flight at around 8pm on a Saturday. Having left Bali we had a brief layover in Singapore before our arrival in Manila. The immigration, customs and baggage pick up went like a dream and we were out of the airport within half an hour of touching down. This […]
