Hey guys,

I haven’t done this in a while and there are so many travel bloggers out there who deserve shout-outs. Here’s my round-up of travel bloggers I want to give a big-up to:

1) Candice Does The World: Candice keeps me laughing, especially the recent ups (haha) and downs of a recent resort vacay in Mexico.

2) The Aussie Nomad: I’ve been enjoying checking out the Aussie Nomad’s preparation for his world adventure. Go Aussie, go!

3) Twenty-Something Travel: She’s posted a great convo-starter about hostels, plus I’ve enjoyed reading her guest series about Buenos Aires. Great, relevant tips.

4) Kaleidoscopicwandering: She lives in Las Vegas and travels extensively. (In fact, she’s in USVI as we speak. Jealous!) Plus, her article about zip-lining in Roatan made me jones for Honduras.

5) Dirtbag Writer: I knew this gal was awesome, but after her recent post on Wisconsin I thought to myself, “Damn. I wish I could drink mugs of beer and dance in the snow with this gal. She rocks.”

6) My Miss Adventures: Carina fascinates me. I love her blogs, which tie in life questions, writing, and traveling. I really liked her recent Me and the Mountain piece too.

7) Lonely Girl Travels: I am just in awe of Lauren. Thanks to her, I’ve actually learned that I can travel to Cuba as an American. She could kick me butt and write stunning prose in one fell swoop.

8) Miles of Abbie: I loved following her “best-of” series in December and seeing how she incorporates community into her blog. I kept thinking about her running marathons as I complained about all the walking I was doing in Argentina. Way to be, Abbie!

9) Girl Unstoppable: She’s got a new site-I’m stoked! Her passion for writing and travel is beautiful to witness. I’m inspired whenever I read her posts.

10) Flying Suitcase: I’m so proud to be a fellow sister intern with Neha (along with the awesome Abbie from Miles of Abbie). Her writing is gorgeous. I want her to guide me around India someday too.

    Thanks for the shout out. But one correction: who says I could kick your butt? Not that I’m calling for a smack-down or anything… ;)

  18. Nancy says:

    @Lauren-Hahaha-I just have a feeling you could kick my butt in general kickass-edness. lol.

  19. neha says:

    Thanks for adding me to the list Nancy. Keeping some super talented company here! I haven’t read the Aussie Nomad, going to check it out right now. Love finding new (good) travel blogs :)

  20. Nancy says:

    @Neha-I love finding new great travel blogs too. Thanks for always being wonderful. :)

  21. I can’t believe I didn’t see this earlier, must be slipping in my internet sleuthing abilities :)

    Thanks for the mention Nancy I’m rather honored to be on a list that contains some awesome travel bloggers.

    Some I haven’t read either so I will definitely checking them out.

  22. Nancy says:

    @Chris-You deserve it. :) Love your site!

  23. aelle says:

    Thanks for the list, Nancy! Some great new finds for me in there. You inspired me to put together my own list of travel bloggers, but in the niche I’m most interested in these days: professionals who have achieved location independence (I put the link in the header of the comment instead of my main blog address)

  24. Nancy says:

    @Aelle-Glad you enjoyed the list Aelle. What a cool niche to suss out. I’m working my way towards location independent. I’m currently highly location flexible as a private music instructor and travel writer. :) Can’t wait to see who you come up with!

  25. AdventureRob says:

    Great list there, I read most of them already, will check out the others I don’t though

  26. Nancy says:

    @Rob-Thanks!
