Travel sites are great for several reasons. They enable you to experience faraway destinations without having to leave your room. Plus, they’re the places to go if you want to get some first-hand intel on a destination you were thinking about visiting.
You can pick a site based on your interests, background, or your situation. For instance, you could follow a blog created by a couple or a family if you want to know the best destination for you and want to hear from someone with a similar perspective as yours. They are also great if you want to discover a new destination you haven’t heard of.
Let’s take a look at a few fun travel sites to check out in 2024.
Alex in Wanderland
This is a great site if you love adventure and beautiful destinations. Alex is a photographer, graphic designer, diver, and traveler. She really knows how to bring out the best from each destination, and her blog is one of the most beautiful on this list. She takes her time to make every photo look great, which gives you a good idea of what you can expect. She also has a healthy mix of international and local destinations.
Legal Nomads
This blog was started by Jodi Ettenberg, a former lawyer who now lives as a digital nomad. She has a series where she talks about other legal professionals who left the field to become nomads. We can expect digital nomads to get back with a kick in 2024, and this is a fantastic blog if you’re already a nomad or looking to make the transition in the near future. You’ll love this little corner of the internet if you’re a foodie, too, as Jodi spends a lot of time taking pictures of the great meals she had along the way.
The Adventure Junkies
Founded in 2012 by a group of travel and adventure enthusiasts, The Adventure Junkies is now one of the most popular travel sites. But it’s much more than an adventure travel site. It’s a community of adventure travel enthusiasts from all over the world.
It’s also a very valuable resource for anyone trying to refine their outdoors skills. Their goal is to make adventure travel more accessible to everybody. In short, this site is a great place to be if you want to try something new and broaden your choice of activities and destinations.
Uncornered Market
This is another fun blog if you like seeing great detailed photos of new destinations. Audrey and Dan are a couple of travelers with a knack for making you feel like you’re right there with them. Their vivid storytelling is fascinating, and it makes things even more immersive.
One of the things we like best about this blog is that they seem to focus on the people as well as the destination. This is very important, as locals have a profound effect on the way you experience a certain destination.
Uncornered Market is the perfect place if you’re looking for inspiration, but also if you really want to know what it’s like to be in a particular destination. Note that a lot of the blog is about sustainability, so this is a great option for people who want to travel as sustainably as possible.
The Blonde Abroad
This is another very popular travel blog, and Kiersten does a great job of mixing traveling with fashion. This is as much a lifestyle blog as it is a travel one, so you’ll get tons of helpful tips while reading about some of the most attractive destinations in the world.
Not only does she give pointers and advice about different destinations, but also tips on how to pack, what to wear, and how to look great while you’re abroad. She focuses more on high-end fashion and destinations.
This is one of the best blogs for fashion-oriented female travelers. While it is not targeted at everyone, you might still be able to find some great information for yourself.
Hey Nadine
Hey Nadine was created by popular Youtuber Nadine Sykora. What makes this blog the best is Nadine’s quirky personality. She puts her signature nerdy touch on everything that she writes and makes authentic observations. We like to go to her blog for the entertainment factor as much as the great information she provides. She’s also an outstanding videographer, so this is a great blog to check if you want to travel vicariously through her lens.
These are all travel sites that should be on your radar in the coming year. They all have something different to offer and will appeal to different types of travelers. Make sure you give them all a look, and you’ll surely find something for yourself.
