Travel Blogger Directory

Having worked in the UK travel industry for 30 years it may come as a surprise that in 2020, having taken Covid-19 redundancy, I knew very little about the world of travel blogging.

Given my lack of knowledge, it made every sense to understand how those who are considered to have some of the best travel blog websites in the business, set them up and how they now run and develop them. After numerous conversations, emails, and a stack of reading, I wanted to create a travel blogger directory to not only create an unbiased and comprehensive list of travel bloggers I like but also showcase some of those that have helped and inspired me along the way- knowingly or not!

Some of these travel blogs are, in my opinion, the best out there, but some are just websites or individuals that have made me laugh or grabbed my attention be it for an article, website design, or amazing photography or they just have an amazing cause and backstory. Wildlife conservation and responsible tourism is always a winner!

Let’s dive straight in and see which awesome travel blog websites have made my travel blogger directory:

Along Dusty Roads

In 2014, Londoners Andrew and Emily booked a one-way ticket to Mexico and began wandering the world promoting sustainable and responsible travel for the curious modern-day explorer.

I enjoy their quirky stories, honesty, sense of humour and just their general travel philosophy - it's energizing!

Bring Us That Horizon

Dave & Becca, a thirty something couple from Cheshire in the UK, started their love affair with travel in 2010, when they headed off on their 12 month, 'once in a lifetime' trip.

Fast forward 12 years, after house purchases, marriage, another travel gap year & successful careers in finance, they have jacked it all in once again. This time, they have decided to build their very own travel blog, whilst embarking on their 3rd 'once in a lifetime trip' through South and Central America! Dave & Becca most enjoy hiking adventures, the sunset over the sea, nature, food & wine.

Please don't ask them to choose between the mountains and the beach!

Chris + Melissa

Chris and Melissa met and married in midlife and honeymooned in Paris and London in October 2019. A few months later they started a travel channel on YouTube dedicated to leisure-testing destinations, activities, and restaurants to inspire others to travel and to travel better. 

Doing the channel together allows them to combine their creative and entrepreneurial skills. Chris runs his own IT/software racket by day and is a content creator the rest of the time. His past endeavors include creating a comic strip and a satirical publication. Melissa works on their content full-time. Her background includes acting, journalism, and selling cars; and during the pandemic, she earned a degree in screenwriting. 

Chris loves tacos. Melissa loves scones. They both love coffee.

Gather and Go Travel

With promising careers in New York, Janice and Jordan caught the travel bug and quit their jobs to travel the world. Over 13 life-changing, unforgettable months where they visited four continents and 26 countries they soon became hooked on the magic and buzz that travel creates. Soon after they started their own family so the nature of their travel changed with priorities now being rest and relaxation. As a result of these different needs, they decided to focus their interests and blog on families.

Today they aim to create a trusted resource where families can find what they need to plan the most memorable and impactful parts of their trips. They hope to give every family a chance to enjoy and learn from traveling as much as they have.

Indie Traveller

After losing his video game industry job in 2012, Marek headed to Thailand seeking time to consider his next move. At this moment he got hooked on travelling and the rest is history.

I loved his crazy blog describing his adventure in a clapped-out motor through Central America - most definitely my kind of road trip.

Just One For The Road

Now you would not expect me to create a travel blogger directory and not include my own travel blog, would you? So this is me! In early 2020, after a 30-year career in the travel industry selling holidays, our world was turned upside down by Covid-19. At the same time, as (bad) luck would have it, my father got ill so I took the decision to take covid redundancy and become his 24/7 carer.

Three years later after the toughest challenge of my life, a new happier chapter is unfolding. As my travel blog continues to develop, I look forward to sharing with you the adventures ahead.
