Traveler's Edition
There are thousands of travel websites out there covering a huge range of topics. It’s great that you can find a travel blog for every travel niche, but it can also be quite daunting when trying to decide who is worth the follow or who isn’t.
It seems, as readers, we are spoilt for choice. In order to help you in your selection we will share our favorite travel blogs of 2016. Be inspired by them and keep up-to-date with their travels.
In no particular order:
Jetset Christina
Jetset Christina will give you serious Insta-envy. She is a 24 year old recent college grad living in the San Francisco Bay Area. She has visited more than 50 countries and it seems that she isn’t slowing down anytime soon. What is special about Christina’s blog is her fantastic photography; she has an eye for seeing the beauty in every location and her images are filled with natural beauty, color and luxury. There’s an interesting calming aspect to her photography which you don’t often see, proving it is possible to relax whilst traveling and you can indulge in a little or (in Christina’s case) a lot of luxury along the way.
Appeal: Probably not for you if you’re traveling on a shoe-string budget and roughing it in hostels, but her rich photography will inspire you to capture the beauty in every moment.

Tourist 2 Townie
Gareth Leonard, Marketing Director turned world traveler is living proof that quitting your job to travel the world will change your life. For him it was the game changer and allowed him to reclaim his life and live it the way he wanted. Diven by his passion for travel and the search for substance Gareth bought a one way flight ticket to Buenos Aires, Argentina and “the rest is history”.
Gareth’s mission is to #TravelDeeper and this is what separates his blog from the average traveler, he has certain goals he wants to achieve in each destination, from learning Spanish in Argentina to participating in a carnival in Rio de Janerio to help build libraries with biblioworks.org.
Gareth invites you on his journey and really does experience everything as a local, from awkwardly eating alone in a restaurant when he first arrives to immersing himself within the local culture.
Appeal: He depicts the reality of moving/traveling to a new country with no connections and making a whole new start. Plus, he has created a great and engaging Youtube channel.
