Today I’m sharing some travel blog post ideas for all my travel bloggers out there!
The first blogs I ever read were travel blogs and they remain one of my favorite blog “genres” to read. As someone who loves traveling and reading about travel, it wasn’t hard for me to come up with these ideas.
If you’re a travel blogger, I hope you’ll find these useful in creating content for your blog. Let me know in the comments if you plan to use any of these ideas on your blog – I’d love to check it out!
Blog Post Ideas for Travel Bloggers
Travel Planning
- How To Book The Cheapest Flights is a great idea for a blog post. Plus, it’s a great way to get readers engaged, share affiliate links, and learn a tip or two from your readers.
- How Far in Advance to Book Domestic/International Flights makes for a great blog post. In addition to sharing your booking knowledge, share a recent buy and for how much!
- Travel Resources Used To Plan Trips is always a goodie. We all have different methods of planning our trips. Some of us use Trip Advisor. Some rely on travel agents, bloggers, and loved ones. Whatever the case, share it with your readers.
- How to Plan a Trip with a Big Group can be difficult. So if you have done it, why not share you experience. Was it positive? What worked? What would you have changed? And most importantly, would you do it again?
- How to Prepare for a (x amount of time) Abroad…Whether you’re studying abroad, taking an extending holiday (good for you!) or buying a one-way ticket, share your planning experience with your readers. It may help inspire them to follow suit. Or just inspire some major wanderlust and envy, but in a good way!
Packing, Fashion & Beauty
- How to Fit Everything in a Carry On is something that I always do because I fear having my luggage lost. So why not share how much you pack and how you fit it all in your carry on?
- How to Pack for a Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer Destination…Four blog posts with the same concept. Include downloadable packing lists, tips, or making some $$$ if you’re apart of affiliate links such as Amazon or Shopstyle!
- Beauty Must-Haves for Traveling are perfect for your readers who are girlie girls. Low maintenance? This post can still apply. Share your skincare routine, fave sunscreen, dry shampoo…whatever applies to you!
- How to Arrive Not Looking Jetlagged…will always remain a mystery to me. But if you’ve got the secret potion (or some simple hints), hook your readers up with your beauty knowledge.
- What to Always Pack and Why…Do you always bring pants even though your heading to the tropics? An umbrella to the driest place on Earth? Whatever it is, I’m sure there is good reason. Write up a list post of 10 things and why!
- What to Pack to Fit in Abroad makes for a great post, especially if you’re going somewhere religious, conservative, or not as progressive as the Western world. Share what to pack, whether it be long pants/top or a scarf for coverage.
- Mix & Match 20 Pieces of Clothing or if you’re really good, try 10 articles of clothing. These are always fun because it gives ideas for cute, fashionable outfits without packing the whole closet. Bonus? Link back to your post of “How to Fit Everything Into a Carry On!”
Medical & Health
- Vaccinations. Write a post on your experience, whether they are needed, how much they are, where to find out info, etc. Vaccinations are no joke in some parts of the world, and if you have that first hand experience, share it!
- What OTC Medications to Bring Abroad Do you bring Tylenol every time you go over seas? Pack extra tampons because you can’t stand the thought of anything other than Tampax? Whatever it is, share with your readers. I’m sure we all have things we don’t leave home without!
- Should I Get Medical Insurance and which one? Whether you deem it necessary or not, share your stance. Have you needed to use your Medical Insurance and have a positive/negative experience? Share it as well.
- How to Stay Healthy on the Road makes for a great discussion on your blog. Wash your hands before every meal or take vitamins? Whatever it is, write about it.
- How to Stay Fit on the Road can be shared across several platforms (ie. fitness, health, travel) and is important since fitness should never be ignored. Do you do a quick circuit in your hotel room? Yoga? Check out the city by running through it or drop in for a local yoga class?
- What to Eat to Stay Healthy while on the road can be very difficult. Share some easy tips on how to make breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks healthier while traveling.
- What Happens if You Get Sick Abroad. Knock on wood I’ve never been extremely ill abroad, but it happens! If it’s happen to you, share it with your readers. Without the comforts of home (and mom) close by, it can be an extremely time. Knowing a little beforehand may help travelers prepare.
Accommodations
- Share Your Five Star Experience…Whether it was a fabulous $1000/night resort, all-inclusive or you received an insane upgrade, share it. Give that hotel/resort some much needed recognition for making you feel like a rock star.
