The past few months have been blogging for me and one of the benefits has been meeting a number of new travel bloggers who specialize in a number of travel niches. If you love to read about travel, these blogs are worth checking out.
- Istanbul Trails – Max Forlani’s blog (recently featured) is dedicated to helping people making the most of their stay in Istanbul.
- Africa Freak – Although Michael Theys is on vacation now, his blog about everything African safari is a fun and informative read.
- My Melange – A travel blog specializing in Italian and French culture, food, and wine which also lead me to this video on how to use a squat toilet.
- Have Pack – I see a lot of myself in Jeffery’s writing style. Have Pack, Will Travel aims to help independent travelers experience the world on their own terms.
- Dan’s Adventure – He’s 27, Scottish, and left the UK in February 2009 to travel the world.
- Dream a Little Dream – It’s always inspiring to read about couples who pack up the 9-to-5 life and travel the world. Scott and Dee just did so you can read about their adventures as they begin.
- Travel Sights With Lilly – A new travel blog following Lilly’s general travel advice and adventures learning Turkish.
- Two Go RTW – In August 2008 Daniel and Kathryn traded in their clotheslines for Tibetan prayer flags.
- The Brooklyn Nomad – Andrew is obsessed with travel and constantly on the look out for a great deal to…well anywhere.
- Ever The Nomad – Anja Mutić travels to make a living, writes to travel, and lives to take the next trip. Born in Zagreb, Croatia, she’s lived, worked and traveled on all the continents, except Antarctica.
- Wild Junket – Join Nellie in her roller coaster ride around the world, as she explores every nook and cranny of the Earth… just for the fun of it!
EDITED [6/30]: Max has a scoop for us and is announcing Istanbul Trails Photo here first. Go check out his great pictures from Istanbul!
I hope that you’ll take a look at some of these travel blogs that might interest you. I inevitably left out some great travel blogs. For some more links check out some of the travel blogs I read regularly, some travel blogs I discovered recently, or my full list of links. If you have a travel blog and aren’t on any of those lists, contact me and drop your link below in the comments to introduce yourself.

Thanks so much, Anil, for featuring our site. It’s a work in progress, but as it is a labour of love, we’ve been able to get a lot done quickly. Again, greatly appreciated. Thanks for your efforts. Will be certain to check out all of you other recommendations.
You’re very welcome, I’m looking forward to reading your upcoming posts!
Hi Anıl,
Thanks for putting Istanbul Trails in this great travel blog overview. And for you and your readers only, I have a small scoop. I just created Istanbul Trails Photo, but haven’t announced it yet, not even on Twitter. This may happen later today or tomorrow. If you want to be the first to check it out, just click on my name.
Cheers,
Max
Thanks Max, the pictures are great and the gallery very smooth. I’ll also edit the post to mention the link above.
Thanks a lot for the comment and addition Anıl. You rock!
Thanks for the mention Anil! Our great adventure has started and it’s a blast so far! We’ve been pretty slow on our updates as we haven’t had much luck with good wifi connections in our hostels and/or it’s too much money to use a internet cafe. 2 pounds for 20 mins! But we are hoping our 5 night stay in Copenhagen will have a good connection so we can do some serious updating!
Currently riding on a train to London from Liverpool to hit up a Hospitality show. (that’s drum & bass music for anyone who has no idea what that is). We upgrade ourselves for 6 extra pounds to first class. Totally worth it as we get free wifi, drinks (including alcohol), snacks, light meal, and dessert.
Anyways, thanks again!
That is expensive and so much of the UK is! See if you can pick up a long range USB wireless antenna – you’ll be able to pick up some (hopefully open) Internet connections much further away than what’s built into a standard laptop.
Free drinks and Internet for only 6 extra pounds is a great deal. I appreciate you using some of your Internet time to get in touch with me as your travels are getting started!
Long range USB antenna’s, I’ll keep a look out on this and get back to you what I find. Our internet connection at hostels has been shoddy and usually when we close the door it cancels out the connection.
I just saw this on my google reader when I was looking at what posts by you I had missed and found this nice surprise. Thank you for the mention. I am a big fan of your site especially that it doesn’t just give great advice on travel but also you have such a creative talent in generating new blog ideas and ways to present posts. So I learn too on travel blogging techniques. I had loved all your tips on how to improve travel blogs. I hope you continue with posts like that also from time to time.
Cheers
You’re welcome Lilly, good luck with your newly updated travel blog 🙂 I appreciate the kind words, it really is nice to hear and encourages me to keep posting, traveling, and stay creative as best I can.
Travel blogging is a journey within itself. I’ll be sure to have some posts on travel blogging in the coming weeks. In fact, I’m working on my blogging schedule for the coming month today…
Hey Anil 🙂
Just got back from the South of France ;), had an awesome time! Nice, Cannes, St Jean Cap Ferrat, Antibes…so much to discover out there! How are you doing? Thanks so much for linking to my blog, very much appreciated!
Am thinking of developing a new concept for africafreak.com 😉 Should be quite something…will keep you posted on the advancements of the project!
Thanks again!
Cheers & keep in touch,
Michael
Hi Michael, welcome back 🙂 It’s beautiful down there isn’t it??
You’ve got a great blog, it’s my pleasure to share the link with others. I’ve been well, thanks for asking. I’m actually working on a few side travel-related projects as well, that I hope I can finish and tell you about soon.
I’m looking forward to see what you’re up to. Let me know when things are ready.
