1. Eazy Traveler
Edgar Alan Zeta-Yap is a wordsmith in addition to a lensman. His photos alone are sufficient to make me come back to his blog commonly (sometimes a lot more commonly than he updates). however that’s not the only thing that makes Eazy Traveler the blogging gem that it is. Edgar has a method with words. He explains each location he sees with such clearness as well as precision that the location becomes a character, a driver, the type you are dying to understand a lot more about; as well as the writer becomes the vehicle. His articles are short however is never deprived of action — a short encounter however always remarkable. In his posts, the location is to life as well as this life is what he remarkably captures in his concise paragraphs as well as extraordinary photographs.
2. Langyaw
Like a lot of great things in this world, the articles on Langyaw.com are short as well as sweet. These bite-sized articles offer a look to Estan Cabigas’s moments on the road. Estan prefers the road less traveled. His tone is always conversational as well as unpretentious, like a good friend narrating in flurry a recent experience or discovery. however this good friend shares, not brags. as well as don’t get me started with his pictures.
3. Two2Travel
Another power couple in the regional travel blogging scene: Nikka Corsino as well as Owen Ballesteros. This duo will most likely flinch at the sight of the phrase power couple in the exact same sentence with their names, or they will most likely ask me to eliminate it (hope not!). Nikka as well as Owen are just two of the humblest human beings I have had the enjoyment of satisfying personally, a rarity in this world, thinking about that they are likewise also two of the most gifted.
You understand those times when you’re down as well as you have to look at something uplifting? Some people gaze at the stars, others at old pictures. I look at Two2Travel. It is a visual treat: neat, light, pretty. I might search to no end (but alas, they have finite number of posts). Their captures are inspiring as well as nearly always powerful sufficient remind us that this is undoubtedly a lovely world. The composing is just as light, always an simple checked out however never lacking substance.
4. flip ‘n Travels
If each travel blog were a movie, Two2Travel would be one of those colorful, Amelie-type, feel-good charming blockbuster. however flip N’ Travels? Ah, this one’s gangster! Bonnie as well as Clyde, anyone?
What occurs when you put travel, wit, sarcasm, as well as excellent composing together in one corner of the web? just add a sprinkle of intimacy (read: sex) as well as you’ll have the recipe for a lethal concoction called flip n Travels. I have yet to satisfy in person Ron Cruz as well as Monette Fernandez, the writers behind this ridiculously addictive blog. Not that I requirement to. After all, the blog is so personal, the visitor is treated not just to an exploration of a location however an experience with their unambiguous as well as unique points of view. A treat, yes, since what sets the blog apart is their special perspectives, not extremely typical these days.

The one thing that I adore a lot of about FlipnTravels is that it shifts the focus from the location to their connection with it. It refuses to be confined by the pressures of SEO as well as travel guides. The location is highlighted sufficient however it becomes a simple setting, albeit active as well as essential. The focus is the experience — the odd, the hilarious, the insightful — told with words very carefully selected from their bottomless box of humor as well as stock of witticisms.
Travel blogging can’t be any type of a lot more entertaining (or sexier) than this. It’s extremely addictive. as well as this serves asyour warning.
5. The Transcendental Tourist
Speaking of substance… one more personal travel blog that I have fallen madly in like with is the Transcendental vacationer by AJ Poliquit. He masterfully fuses beneficial info as well as entertaining experiences in one post that can be taken by the visitor without getting lost. His beautifully woven sentences not only get hold of the visitors as well as teleport them to that location however likewise make them think, feel, as well as appreciate it both as a physical area as well as as an experience, transcendental or otherwise.
Still, AJ handles to keep his storytelling satisfying by throwing quips as well as personal comments about his encounters in the already potent mixture. like FlipnTravels, the Transcendental vacationer adds humor as well as personal touch to his experiences to make a blog that boasts efficient compound as well as exceptional type a lot more than anything.
6. Yellow Adventures
While the Transcendental vacationer takes the audience to his world with letters, Hannah Reyes of Yellow Adventures utilizes her lenses to do the same. Oh as well as she does it so well!
Hannah needs no words to tell a story. Almost each shot as well as its aspects are adeptly believed out, beautifully composed, as well as successfully motivated. Hannah magically tons pixels not just with light as well as color, however likewise indicating as well as emotions. Every single one of them talks. They whisper, they scream, they boast, they beg, they talk. like all pictures should.
It was Robbie of The travelling Dork who introduced her blog to me, as well as it took only one sluggish scroll down the very first page of her blog to mesmerize me. It was instant. If I ever doubted travel blogging as an art form, Hannah just schooled me ideal then.
7. Lakad Pilipinas
One look at Lakad Pilipinas as well as you understand the person behind it is a skilled kid of a… Oops, that’s my envious alter-ego talking. however seriously, there’s just so much to envy about Christian Sangoyo as well as a huge chunk of that is his flawless photography. His unassuming blog is teeming with pictures so hypnotic you’ll be lured to pack your bags as well as plan a trip to that location ideal away. Or if you’re me, you’ll be left sulking, wondering why you didn’t have ideal DNA to create photos as captivating as his. His composing is just as excellent, putting the visitor ideal with him when he was there, sharing exactly how he sees the world. as well as it’s a lovely world, indeed.
8. Ambot-ah
A bombardment of stunning pictures awaits you when you see Ambot-ah, the flagship travel blog of Marcos Caratao. He turned his back on his occupation to go after a “free-spirited journey of experience as well as self-discovery.” This journey has led him to the lots of corners of the country as well as Southeast Asia as well as he chronicles these trips on this blog in excellent detail. Ambot-ah is a visual feast, serving captivating landscapes as well as gripping portraits. Heck, even his selfies look like they were taken by God (Lol). aside from the shots, he is likewise a storyteller as well as a practical one at that, publishing his itineraries for those who desire to comply with his tracks. as well as he’s a great guy, too!
9. travel Up
She’s a traveler, a geek, a gamer, a biker, a motorcycle enthusiast. In one word, Kara Santos is an “adventurer,” prepared for any type of type of experience be it online or real. as well as nothing else papers the interesting as well as adrenaline-driven life she leads than her blog — travel Up! The name of her blog was influenced by the video gaming idea of leveling up, “gaining higher levels of completing tasks as well as challenges.”
Kara’s composing style is simple, simple to digest, as well as extremely “relatable” — allergic to empty adjectives. Yet, she effectively takes the visitor on a trip to the edge. Yes, that may be it! The subject, the experiences themselves, is edgy sufficient that there truly is no requirement to embellish it with words that only thrill as well as intimidate. With her adventures, Kara makes travel Up a fun as well as engaging read, as well as she does it oh so effortlessly.
10. Lakwatsero
I have always been a huge fan of Lakwatsero even before I ended up being travel blog writer myself. Lakwatsero is a excellent go-to blog for detailed travel guides to destinations in the Philippines, from crowd favorites like Boracay to best-kept tricks like Cuyo. Angel Juarez, Lakwatsero himself, seems to have a knack for lots of things thrilling. He runs, treks, as well as dives, enabling himself to experience as well as take pleasure in the large variety of “worlds” that travel has to offer. You might state Lakwatsero is the utmost Pinoy travel blog if you throw in high high quality photos… Oh wait, he has those, too!
A excellent offer of descriptive skill is needed to appropriately narrate a spatial experience in a factual yet entertaining fashion. I may have been a personal blog writer for nearly eight years now however I am new in the travel scene and, like I always say, I still have so much to learn. Travel blogging isn’t simple (or not as simple as others think). It’s a rough, bumpy ride, I tell you, however the eight blogs above definitely make it look like they’re just moving through. as well as that, my friends, is pure talent.
So the next time you requirement travel concepts or inspiration, provide these sites a see as well as you’ll discover yourself delightfully drawn by their restless spirit into their wildly nomadic worlds. as well as there’s no turning back from there.
