Travel Blogs

A Taste of Travel – Food, photography, personality – Jenny’s blog has all the ingredients to make the perfect travel blog. If I could only read one travel blog for the rest of my life, it would be this one.

Alex in Wanderland – Alex is a full-time traveller who knows how to enjoy the world. She’s also a serious scuba diver so many of her explorations venture out into the great unknown seas!

Cheryl Howard – Cheryl really knows how to find the quirky places in a city. Her blog is about European travel, expat life and aimed for women!

Etramping – Agness and Cez travel around the world on under $25 a day! Their blog is therefore jam-packed with money saving tips!

Sateless Suitcase – I LOVE this girl’s blog because she shares her passion for art and history with her readers. She is originally from Germany, but has mastered the art of English to perfection.
