Do you ever spend late nights staring into the bright glow of a computer screen, searching for inspiration through the adventures of other travelers?

I do. Quite frequently actually.

I’m obsessed with travel blogs that excite me and it’s keeping me up past my bedtime.

No, I’m not talking about ogling over Instagram models stretched out under waterfalls or watching giggly tourists with selfie sticks riding elephants – that’s not what I’m searching for.

I’m looking for heartfelt writing, meaningful adventures, awe-inspiring photography, authentic experiences, and above all else, honesty about travel.

These are the things that make me want to see the world.

This is why I started a travel blog of my own.

The good news is that I’ve found a few bloggers who do all those things and do them really well.

That’s what this post is all about.

Let me share with you my favorite travel blogs that I’ve come across.

Each blogger is quite different than the next, but they are all capable of keeping you up late into the night, fascinated by the pictures they paint and the lives they lead.
