Good travel writing inspires and motivates us to get up, go out and see the world. An enthusiastic word-of-mouth endorsement from a close friend can be just as persuasive as an awe-inspiring photograph.
All of the following examples of travel writing are great for different reasons.
– Nomadic Matt (blog)
Nomadicmatt.com is an energetic and lively blog that is run by budget-travel expert Matt Kepnes. His passion is obvious from the get-go and it prevails throughout his site. He has written a best-selling book called How to Travel the World on $50 a Day and is constantly updating his website with new content. The most insightful articles written by him offer practical booking advice and money-saving tips, such as “How to Find a Cheap Flight”.
He’s well-traveled and has found many ways to save money on travel costs, which is great news for most of us who like to save money on vacations.
– Fodor’s (guidebook series and website)
Fodor’s has not only embraced the modern age by producing the world’s most popular series of travel guidebooks, but also by having a user-friendly website that’s packed with info and is accessible on all devices – desktop, tablet and mobile.
Although the website’s content is less detailed than the company’s reputable guidebooks, brevity is not always a bad thing. After all, the site’s main function is to provide thick-and-fast info, and it does so. Check out the main Florence page on the site to get a better understanding of what I’m talking about.
It provides a brief introduction to the city and then lists the top reasons to visit, complete with links to articles with reviews and tips. The Fodor’s site is mobile-friendly and easy to navigate, unlike some of its competitors.

– Adventurous Kate (blog)
One of the known solo feminine travel bloggers is Kate McCulley. Her web site, audacious Kate, is with competence titled and resembles a journal over the rest. The writing is incredibly colloquial and is fittingly written within the person. Kate uses pictures all right throughout her web log posts – it’s not uncommon to examine a dozen in one single article, and they’re all photos she has taken herself together with her own camera. Kate’s pictures are well-placed and complement her writing; a first-rate example of this is often her post regarding her trip to a Cotswolds gin industrial plant.
