One of my first steps in planning my next adventure starts with figuring out where to go next! In the past, I have literally spun a globe and jetted off to where my finger landed, in fact, that experience led me on a solo trip to Turkey which to date is still my richest and most memorable travel expedition! These days though I am a little more strategic in my planning process! Being a travel blogger I often read other travel blogs to get not only great and helpful tips but initial inspiration! My lovely friend Aubrey from The Love Assembly has inspired my next trip to the Philippines and my main man Daniel from Dan flying Solo has prompted me to book flights next year to Sri Lanka!
Below are a list of my favourite travel blogs and personal inspirations for both travelling and living a life outside of our comfort zones and daily routines! I hope they inspire you too :)!

Beautiful pictures! I think these bloggers are doing a great job with their blogs. My family and I have been traveling for 8 years and we’ve never looked back.
Keep up the great work here and live unstoppable!
Great compilation of blogs! I obsessively read every blog I can find about a destination as soon as I start planning a trip – you’ve highlighted some great bloggers!
All these blogs are absolutely stunning! I found myself getting lost in the maze of these blogs and the posts and their instagram accounts, I almost forgot what I was doing in the first place! Seems like many of the bloggers you follow are from Australia. That’s awesome! I am not sure how I feel towards my own blog now though after going through all these beautifully designed blogs with magazine like pictures. Duh!
Each one of them is such an inspiration to travel! I loved their Insta feeds as well..such curated pictures…like being in an art gallery!
