12 Amazing Travel Blogs [2024]

Getting a website to rank high on search engine results pages can be a very long, tedious process. It’s time consuming, takes a TON of work, and you have to do everything just right. Additionally, there’s an astronomical number of websites trying to rank for those limited spots on the first page where most users click. With that being said, have you ever wondered how many amazing travel blogs and websites you’re missing out on???

A LOT! You’re missing out on a LOT! Why? It could be any number of reasons, from the age of a website to its domain authority. Does that make the website any less informative or entertaining? NO! Not at all!

Furthermore, the same names keep appearing over and over again in posts regarding “best” or “top” travel blogs. Unfortunately, a ton of really good travel blogs are missing from those lists which means they aren’t getting the recognition they deserve. So, let’s change that!

Below is a list of travel blogs you “probably” haven’t heard of yet (mine included)! I actually spend time on these websites myself, reading about places I have yet to visit and foods I have yet to try. So, take some time to check out these amazing travel blogs. You won’t regret it, and you’ll probably end up adding some to your favorites list!
