Travel Blogs – We thought it would be a great time for us to take some time and reflect back on this year – not just at how much AsWeTtravel.com has grown as a site but also at how many amazing other personal travel blogs there are out there – sharing, provoking and living this travel lifestyle to the fullest.
There are so many personal travel blogs out there, and every day more and more are starting up – so it is nearly impossible for us to track, and fully study every travel blog out there.
Here are a few guides on How To Start a Travel Blog and Get Sponsored: A Funding Guide for Explorers, Adventurers, and Would-Be World Travelers (here a is great book review of the Get Sponsored Guide)
The 25 Most Inspiring Personal Travel Blogs below are some of the best blogs which we feel have inspired and helped the travel blog industry grow the most this year.
Why has he made the list? Wes is all about the story – he travels around the world ‘ low and slow’ sharing so many well-written travel stories and experiences – I am waiting for the book!
Every time we visit his site, his stories get us laughing, and aside from telling ‘lies’ and taking amazing photos, Wes also shares very useful tips and a great “daily budget” box for each country he visits.
Matt is one of the few who has turned travel blogging into a full-time career. He is an inspiration to others, and shows everyone what is possible. Matt’s blog is easily navigated and updated several times a week with both useful information, tips and personal travel blogs.
Matt is also a huge inspiration for long term traveling, as he has traveled for many years funding only by the income he’s making online.

#3 Rolf Potts / No Baggage Challenge
Rolf Potts recently got back from spending 6 weeks around the world without any baggage – The No Baggage Challenge. On this travel blog he shares videos and proves that you don’t need a 60L+ and heaps of gear to be able to travel – less is more.
This is so close to our mindset, the no-excuse way of travel and with so many excuses out there for WHY people can’t travel, it’s great that someone stepped up and did this – even if the trip was funded by high-profile travel companies.

Lauren and Todd have created a great unique site for travelers to meet. A place online where you can find other like minded people to travel with. Meeting people and making friends while traveling is a big part of the whole experience, and many people who travel solo sometimes want to share those moments with others.

Matt is a seasoned traveler who has just spent the last 6 months exploring the depths of New Zealand, and shares many good quality articles about the country. So if you have any questions about New Zealand, send him an email, he prob. knows more about the place than me (and it’s my home country!)

Gary is a great photographer and shares photos daily with his visitors – also offered as desktop wallpaper. Apart from sharing daily photos he also has a very active travel forum, but the best place to get to know Gary is on his weekly audio podcast where he talks with some of the big-name people in the travel community.
Gary is known as one of the best travel bloggers out there, and he certainly is very successful in terms of getting thousands of visitors a month coming to his site.
To us Amar has been one of the friendliest guys out there, taking the time to chat, and share his experience – one of which is getting trips, and other things for free while traveling. He is currently writing an ebook about how to get things, trips and hostels etc. for free, something I’m sure everyone would like to know more about.
He just arrived back in the UK, but I am sure you will see him out there again traveling soon.

From a raw knowledge perspective, I’ve learned more in three years of traveling than I did in four years of college.
If I am learning so much stuff, how can I say that I’m getting dumber the more I travel?
Because the things I know I’m ignorant about increases faster than the things I know that I know.” – Gary
