]]>Brooks has been to over 50 countries by the age of 24, but getting there wasn’t easy. At the very start of her journey, she felt her dreams were “poorly rooted in delusion”, but she decided to follow them anyway and see where they take her.
Brooks embraced the sense of adventure and “if I don’t do it, someone else will” mindset, after asking herself what the best-case scenario of her life would be. What she wanted seemed out of reach because her means were limited, but she learned how to put them to some good use.
Brooks is now followed by around 180,000 people on TikTok, and she built a huge community around her after deciding to help other people realize their travel dreams. Her viral videos will teach you how to find cheap accommodation, flights, and activities, equipping you with all the tools required to travel the world on a budget.

]]>The post Explore Greener Travel Options With Alison Abbott appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Based between Boston and Nantucket, Abbott is an avid traveler and is enthusiastic about keeping it local whether at home or abroad. According to Abbott, her goal with her platform is to inspire others to take a step out of their comfort zone and consider alternative destinations and adventures.
“Nothing could make me happier than hearing from a reader who has arranged travel plans to stay in an eco-friendly hotel that I recently recommended,” she notes on her website, explaining that she firmly believes that as we become better traveled and more mindful, culturally aware citizens of the globe, the world becomes a better place.
“The more I travel, the more I learn to be flexible and adapt,” she further shared her experiences in a recent interview with Misadventures with Andi. “The world has become such a small place, I hope to highlight destinations that might not be on everyone’s radar. Meeting and learning from others around the globe develops a much deeper understanding and I truly think education promotes peace and tolerance.”
Abbott puts her money where her mouth is. Her blog includes a dedicated section for “green living” where she shares her thoughts about subjects as varied as sustainable wine, healthy snacks, and eco-friendly travel gifts.
When trying to trace back her love of travel, Abbott jokes that she probably became a traveler in her mother’s womb. “I was conceived in Japan and long before I knew that fact, I taught myself Japanese phrases and to count in the language,” she explains.
“I wanted to learn all I could about the country. Seriously though, in my days before travel writing, I started and built a clothing and design business that manufactured in India and the Philippines. It was during that time I fell and love with travel and knew it was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.”

Janine Thomas (@gastrotravelogues)Like most travel bloggers, Thomas’ knack for adventure is tied to her early childhood: “I started traveling when I was 9 years old,” she recalled in an interview with Culture with Travel. “My aunt lived in London, so I would fly, on my own, from Cape Town to London for my holidays. It was such a long flight that the aircraft had to stop to refuel on a small island called Ilha do Sal off the Africa coast. That was 45 years ago and was an incredible adventure.”
Thomas’ upbringing might also explain her love of food. Growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, she explains that spending time at the beach was a way of life. She remembers her father would go diving and emerge laden with crayfish—which would later be served with a dollop of mayonnaise (a simple, delicious, and heavenly meal she recalls to this day).
According to Thomas, another dish that represents Cape Town for her is farmers sausage AKA boerewors: “It is spiced with coriander and is eaten throughout SA, even as a street food snack,” she explains. “It is almost always cooked over a fire, and the smell alone is enough to get my mouth-watering.”
Of course, plenty has changed since Thomas was a young traveler. “Travel was very different then to what it is now,” she notes. “I was always excited by traveling and I still am today. I love the fact that you are transported to a completely different world with such ease. Travel can teach us so much, if we are just open to the experience of learning from others.”
Her love of travel and food, combined with her skilled writing and nostalgic recollections, makes Thomas’ platform an ideal attraction for travel enthusiasts worldwide.

]]>The post 3 Relevant Ways to Document Your Travels in 2021 appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Nowadays, perhaps the most popular form of traveling blogging is through Instagram. If you travel a lot, you can post as many pictures as you want of your travels by virtue of this platform, and you’re just as welcome to write lengthy posts about your adventures in concordance with the pictures you’ve posted. Oh yeah, and it goes without saying that you can post stories and live videos at your disclosure.
Personal Blogs
You’re more than welcome to start your own blog on your very own website. It’s not as mainstream as Instagram is, but if you manage to get hold of some real followers and fans, they’ll constantly be waiting for your next post. From a practical point of view, it’s probably the greatest platform for writing long texts about your adventures.
YouTube
YouTube has come so far beyond “Charlie Bit My Finger”, lending itself to countless influencers to be themselves in so many ways—including sharing their escapades with their fans. If you’re specifically interested in sharing videos of your travels with your followers, you may want to consider starting a YouTube account.

]]>The post Return to Road Tripping with Joelle Friend appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Based in Seattle, WA (where she shares a home with her cat and dog), Friend is very much dedicated to a life of travel, both locally and internationally. With some quarter-million followers on Instagram, and true to her last name, Friend has a knack for connecting with others, sharing her adventures in a meaningful and long-lasting way.
According to Friend, her love of adventure is tied back to her upbringing. “Growing up on a lake, I’d wake up to a low hanging fog and rain drops falling on the water,” she writes in one Instagram post.
Indeed, a love of water and fog comes through her unique photos, carefully curated. “There’s something so peaceful when this weather happens,” she reflects. “Everything becomes so quiet and all you hear is the rain hit the lake.”
Growing up near a lake is one thing, but Friend also explains her wanderlust through her unique connection with her late father. “My love for travel started at a young age because of my father,” she wrote in another post. “We had a Cardinal Cessna, so he made sure traveling and adventure was a big part of our childhood.”
Another spot that holds a special place for Friend is the Olympic National Park in western Washington: “Hands down, if you were to ask me the first place that really sparked my love for nature and the outdoors it would be this place,” she admits in one blog post. “The Olympic National Park is an expansive temperate rainforest, encompassing nearly a million acres and receiving an average of 138 inches (3.5 meters) of rain annually. It is a rare refuge for species dependent on old-growth forests and wild coastline (70 miles worth)!”
These days, you will often find Friend on the road traveling to the next destination. “One thing I enjoy about road trips is camping outside,” she notes. “It is so fun to make the campsite super cozy. I love smelling the fresh air when I wake up while being all bundled up in the sleeping bag.”
Her Instagram page and blog will inspire your next road-trip if nothing else!

]]>The post Bridges and Balloons are the Perfect Tour Guides appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>“I specialize in putting together itineraries (especially road trips and city breaks) that are ideal for people who like to discover the creative side of a destination,” writes Victoria in a recent Instagram post. “And I also create guides to the most special places to stay around the world, from Airbnbs to glamping to hip boutique hotels.”
Favoring a local style of travel, independent stores over chains, and unique experiences (rather than must-sees), the seasoned travelers admit to loving places that have a story behind them, featuring both budget and luxury styles. “We’ve been traveling since March 2012,” they shared in an interview with Never Ending Voyage. “We’re definitely more suited to slow travel.”
Traveling with two small children, Otis (3) and Arlo (1), also shaped the way they experience the world and, in turn, write about it. “We were apprehensive before having Otis about what family travel would look like, and if it would mean sacrificing style, but we’re delighted to say that hasn’t been the case and we’ve done some of our most exciting trips yet with the little one in tow,” they write on their blog.
Describing their traveling style as creative, cozy, independent, bohemian, boutique, slow, design-led, and characterful, between Victoria and Steve the two have been to 50 countries (!). Whether you’re traveling solo or taking your kids along for the ride, you’d want their guidance.

]]>The post Explore Europe Like a Local with Wandering Helene appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>Her goal with her blog? To inspire others to travel and not just to tick off a list, but to really learn about a new place, try the foods, speak to people, and fully experience it. “I also want people to reconsider local travel as an option, there is so much to see in our own backyards. Especially in Slovenia!”
On her blog, she adds that Wandering Helene grew out of her desire to share her experiences traveling and living in new cultures. “I want to share the places that often get overlooked, but are full of amazement and beauty,” reads her bio.
But how does a travel blogger continue to prosper in the days after Covid? According to Wandering Helene it’s a question of flexibility. In a recent blog post, she writes candidly about her experience this past year and explains that traveling locally is a great way of staying active and maintaining a sense of wonder.
“Being a tourist at home does not have to be dull or boring,” she stresses on her blog. “I guarantee for most people there is at least one if not more activities that you never experienced in your area.”
Her call to action: “Once it is safe to do so, plan one local outing being a tourist in your town. Just try it once. If you don’t know where to start about how to find local things to do or see, message me and I will personally give you a few ideas or direct you to someone who can.”
If Slovenia is on your to-do list, you’d definitely want to check out her blog and accompanying Instagram page:

]]>Popular Travel Blog
Her travel blog and accompanying Instagram page, Wildluxe, is the sweet, sweet meeting point between luxury travel and the great outdoors. Sprinkle Gillingham’s sense of optimism on top and you’ll understand the appeal. Showcasing guest ranches, farm stays, lodges, safaris, and wild adventures, it offers inspiration, reviews, and information on the world’s top luxury wilderness travel experiences. Exactly the kind of inspiration we need in the days after Covid.
“I really do love every aspect of the job,” shared Gillingham in an interview with We Are Travel Girls. “The hardest part for me is lugging around all of the heavy gear all of the time. It’s a total pain. (Literally, my neck is always hurting). But worth it.”
From Pain to Passion
A cancer survivor, Gillingham understands the importance of living in the here and now. In fact, her illness is what pushed her to further explore her passions. “It made me realize how fragile and precious life really is,” she says. “It has given me a huge zest for life. Every day we are here and have the chance to live and love is a beautiful miracle!”
Where She Goes
Rather than traveling to the same big cities, seeing overrun tourist destinations, and waiting in long crowded lines, Gillingham seeks out the unique, less traveled, more intimate places around the globe. The places she chooses to feature on her blog are hand-selected and surrounded by exquisite natural landscapes which offer guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
But her life as a travel guru isn’t all fun and games. “I think many people have misconceptions of what it takes,” she notes. “They think its all fun and travel. It’s actually a TON of work. It’s not a 9-5 it’s a 24/7. You have to be able to turbo multitask and wear many hats.”

]]>A traveler and creative from Sydney, Australia, Whiteman’s creative spirit has taken her around the world, carrying a lifestyle too many of us dream of. At only twenty-five years old, she recently completed her Honours degree in Design from The University of New South Wales, while traveling and working full time, as well as managing her successful lifestyle/travel blog and Instagram page.
@fairmontbanff“I try really hard to ‘do it all’, and know that I definitely can’t, and that’s okay, but I only really figured that out the hard way,” she admitted once, in an interview with Helen Chik. “I find one of the best ways to overcome stresses or creative blocks is to switch off. As much as I love the online world and my community, detoxing is one of the best ways to cleanse yourself—as cliché as that may sound!”
So far, her adventures have taken her to places like Amsterdam, Iceland, Japan, and even Abu Dhabi. Her experiences include eating, hiking, and chilling about – all in stylish fashion. And with almost 1.5 million followers on Instagram, her fame has also attracted some impressive clients like Canon and Tiffany & Co.
You jelly yet?
During our last trip to Dubai we made the mistake of driving out to the desert in search of a view that didn’t exist. 
So glad to find that this was completely real! It’s located in Dubai Creek Harbour, but still being completed, it’s going to be an incredible new spot to visit by 2020! @visit.dubai #mydubai #dubaistopover #ad
I’m off to find all things Fall (hopefully, before they all fall)!
