Favorite Travel Blogs and Resources
Guidance and Ideas for Every Traveler and Every Destination
The Vagabond Adventure is just one of so many great travel websites out there. Whatever type of traveler you are (adventure, budget, foodie, solo etc.), wherever you are going, you can find a travel blogger to help your own mission.
Anywhere you go online, there are planning tools, inspirations, ideas, and many fantastic stories. With thousands of these resources, how can you choose? Honestly, we don’t think you can go wrong with any of them, but each has a personality, a flavor to match your tastes.
Here, we’ve decided to include some of our personal favorites. These aren’t the biggest or most popular sites. We think they are highly underrated. Our preference is to avoid the more commercial sites altogether in favor of storytellers and guides that we think our Vagabond audience would relate to.
If you’re looking for more travel content, start with these recommendations and please come back here often as we’re always discovering new adventurers with their own unique takes on getting around the world.
And if you don’t mind, leave a comment below on our selections and please recommend your own favorite travel blogs. Perhaps we can add it to our list!
Great and, Dare We Say, Underrated Travel Blogs?
Rupert is a kindred soul. With time to travel the world, he has created a fantastic library of stories from destinations anywhere you might look, along with a nice filter to guide you towards your next favorite spot. He even suggests his own set of travel reading recommendations that are a nice complement to our own favorite travel adventure stories.
Eoghan and Jili write about budget travel, mostly through Asia. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or practical travel ideas you’ll do well to take a look at their work. We especially like their Travel Philosophy.
We also love that they aim for the lesser known spots.
Our own adventure into Asia hasn’t begun (continent #6 coming 2025) , but we’re happy to have drawn some ideas from their exploits.
Perfect Day is written by an ambitious data scientist named Kasia who somehow manages to get about constantly despite managing a career in one of the hottest fields around. We are particularly fond of her delight with “curious humans,” a fascination that Vagabond Adventure readers will recognize in our own work.
She delivers some practical and fun itineraries you should check out. We recently told our own story traveling Into the Sahara via Merzouga. Compare notes by reading up on her own Merzouga Tour.
Besides being an avid traveler Wojtek is a fantastic photographer. We have to commend him for having one of the most elegant websites we’ve seen that includes this stunning interactive map of his travel destinations.
His travel posts are efficient and tailored to narrow topics. But the range of topics he delivers is what impresses us, with categories covering environmental, family, adventure, and even suggestions for moving your residence.
Diana and Steve are a Romanian couple who have been traveling nomadically for nearly a decade. They don’t like to think of themselves as nomads, but their travel schedule is quite impressive. Of course, a decade of excursions across all 7 continents and 50 countries has left a wealth of content for us to enjoy.
Their diverse portfolio includes travel tips, destinations, and itineraries.
Heather Cowper has been active over 15 years, offering travel inspiration for the 50+ traveler who likes authentic experiences mixed with a bit of luxury. Although she gets around the world, most of her writing covers Europe and North America where she writes about food, cruising, and culture.
Heather’s destinations and stories don’t overlap much with our own, in topic or location, making her site an excellent complement to the Vagabond Adventure.
