One of the reasons why I started travel blogging was because I LOVE reading other people’s travel blogs. Whether it’s to gather information for an upcoming trip or simply for fun, I could spend hours reading articles on Bloglovin.
“8 Tips For Camping In Sahara Desert”? Yes please! “How to Spend 24 Hours in Hong Kong”? I love it!
*If you don’t know what Bloglovin is, it’s a site that lets you read, discover, organize and stay updated with your favorite blogs. It’s a great tool! See The Blessing Bucket on Bloglovin here.
Travel blogs have always been a great source of inspiration for me, and a way to escape to another place while I was sitting at my desk job dreaming about a vacation. In particular, I love blogs written by female travellers. As a female myself, I looked up to these amazing ladies who are trotting all over the world. Today, I share some of my favorite travel blogs written by some of the industry’s most bad ass girl bosses. Follow their journeys and get ready to be inspired!
