Before I started my own blog, I got all my travel advice from travel bloggers that I would find on Google or Travel Blog Directory sites. And while travel blogging is certainly a saturated field nowadays, I actually view this as a positive thing. First, you the option to find advice from travel bloggers that vibe with your travel style. Second, if the field had only few travel bloggers, we would have to trust those individuals with all our travel plans. The abundance of travel blogs means opportunities for promoting different places, restaurants and activities but the key is stand out.

Over many years I saved these a compiled a list of reliable resources. I value bloggers that bring their own personality to the table along with some informative and unique guides. What distinguishes a good blog from another, is the quality of advice. You can easily write a “10 Cliche Things To Do in NYC” guide nowaways and it’s been done adnauseum. Now is the time to stand out by working with unique brands, cool concepts and activities that put a twist on what’s been done thousands of times.

This list should also help you if you like planning your travels through travel blogs.

The first part of this travel blog directory is my personal favorites. This list is ever-growing and as I find new awesome pages, they will be added. The second part is my featured section to which you can be added. Who knows, maybe you’ll even be placed in my personal favorites 🙂

If you’d like to be featured here, I require a backlink of your choice to one of my posts on your page. Once you do that, please send a reference of where you placed the link with a brief introduction of what your blog is about to my contact page form. I will be happy to add you to my list.
