Travel Photography Blogs

Expert Vagabond

One minute, you’re casually browsing a travel blog. The next, you’re quitting your job, packing your bags, and jetting halfway around the world to begin a new adventure. Expert Vagabond is that inspiring. With this photography blog, you can learn all about the latest and greatest travel gear for globetrotting photographers, along with numerous useful tips for taking your craft overseas (and beyond), like how to pack efficiently or protect yourself against theft. But it’s the expertly-crafted photographs and affecting stories contained within that will truly get you.

Beers and Beans

Landing somewhere between photojournalism and a standard travel blog, Beth and Randy know how to capture raw, authentic moments. Case in point: their piece on the brewmasters behind America’s first brewery at sea. Be it in the foothills of Patagonia or the streets of New York City, Beers and Beans sidesteps the traditional photo blog approach in favor of focusing on the human experience, and the things we can accomplish by coming together. Who wouldn’t want to volunteer at a winery in Tuscany? Even if you’re hungover, Beth and Randy still have your back.

Richard Bernabe

For photographers, travelling is both a literal and creative journey. New surroundings evoke new feelings, which informs the way you see and document the world around you. Richard Bernabe is a seasoned adventurer whose travel photo blog is the gold standard. From getting the most out of your shot while on the road to clever life hacks for falling asleep 30,000 feet in the air, there is no shortage of inspirational content on Bernabe’s blog.

Around the World in Eighty Years

Who says a travel blog can’t have an activist bent? As someone who cares deeply about the environment, Jim O’Donnell’s Around the World in Eighty Years is part photography blog site, part photo gallery, and part public forum for ruminating on conservation efforts throughout the United States and more. His photography is downright stunning, oftentimes used to illustrate a key point, like how deforestation in Panama is affecting not just its wildlife, but the locals, too. This photo blog is also great for tips on how to travel the world mindfully, whether it’s ways to keep waste to a minimum or reduce your carbon footprint.
