Women are kicking ass in the travel blogging world. There’s no doubt about this. In honour of International Women’s Day we are presenting you with – 2017’s Most Amazing 17 Female Travel Bloggers.
The women listed below are all fantastic influencers and are great to connect with on those all important social medias- Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. To make it on this most illustrious list the women are generally nice lady travellers with a decent side serve of sass. Just the way I like it! You’ll find that the lady bloggers listed are honest and transparent in their writings and actions. Nearly all of the female travellers we’ve meet along the road in the past 12 months.
There is no way to buy yourself into this list. This isn’t a list in which we have asked people to nominate themselves. No these are ladies that are amazing on their own merits! This isn’t a “sexiest” list. We’re not here to objectify these women based on theri age or perceived sexuality.
Each of the women listed below is an incredibly sexy. sassy, kick ass travel blogger in her own right.
Sara McCleary, Belly Rumbles
A Sydney-based food and travel blog. From humble beginnings as an online diary, Belly Rumbles has continued to grow and evolve into one of Sydney’s most consistent and well known single-voice food and travel blogs. Sara’s blog takes you on a culinary adventure.
Anje, Going Somewhere Slowly
Travel Addict, Coffee Junkie, Word Enthusiast, Bicycle Nut, Globetrotter, Solo Traveller and South African. Anje has had an amazing 2016 taking her blog and general sassy writing style to the next level. This is Anje’s second year on the list cause she’s that kick ass cool. If you’re not following her then it’s time to stop, drop and get over to her blog.
Brittany K, The Sweet Wanderlust
Travel and desserts. This is a match made in sugar filled heaven. Brittany is uber cute in her writing and photos. The Sweet Wanderlust chronicles her journey as she searches for the world’s best desserts and greatest adventures.
Tara P, Where Is Tara?
A hobbit raised by leprechauns who’s addicted to ice coffee. Tara is certainly my kinda woman. She’s also a wonderfully kind, generous and knowledgeable traveller and can legally sell you drugs.
Tara talks all things travel – covering luxury, road trips, health, food and general fun times.
Jayne, Girl Tweets World
Jayne has such a delightful subtle Brittishness about her blog. Even though she’s living in Sydney she hasn’t quite given up her Brittishness. She’s beautiful in both person and on her blog. One of the friendliest ladies I’ve been fortunate enough to have met on Twitter and connected with at TBEX. She’s openly candid about making her life work as a freelancer and provides brilliant guidance for those wishing to step away from the 9-5 corporate life and embrace the coffee infused freelance life style.
Amanda K, Not A Ballerina
Traveller, mother of a one and a social media consultant on the side. Amanda is all about thinking in depth about the places we visit and the reasons as to why we visit. Over the past 12 months Amanda has been hosting a wonderful podcast, that I’ve been on, The Thoughtful Traveller.
Sharon, Where’s Sharon
Sharon present family travel in a fun, economical and user friendly way. If anyone ever claims that once you have children your travel lifestyle is over I happily send them over to Where’s Sharon for a dose of level headed reality.
Paula, Contented Traveller
Paula is like a breath of fresh air, that comes off a hot fast paced hurricane. She’s utterly delightful, enthusiastic and nothing at all like what one would expect from a grey nomad. Because she’s as far from a grey nomad as you can get. Joined by the lovely Gordon, Paula writes about an array of travel topic. She’s a seriously nice person.
Steph G, Every Steph
Steph is a coffee- addicted Italian wanderer showing you how to travel the world in a responsible (and fashionable!) way. She has some amazing photos and is super helpful to those of us wanting to up our Insta-game.
Mel G, A Broken Backpack
Mel is a French Canadian who challenges herself not only by travelling the world on a teeny tiny budget but also with blogging in English. You’ll find her flouncing around the world, making new friends and taking her iconic GoPro selfies. Normally I wouldn’t mention someone’s personal camera choice but when you hear how many cows Mel milked in Australia to get that GoProp, well all I can say is – respect!
Tammilee, Tammilee Tips
Tammilee is an utter delight. Honest abou the world she runs around in and accepting then tackling her fears. Like that one time we went in an underground river and saw snakes…
She and her husband John really do live their lives as per her motto – Travel.Food.Life
You’ll find her cruising around, speaking at conferences and generally doing all things that a successful woman does. As you do.
Sheila D, The Opportunist Traveller (podcast)
The first time I met Sheila was at a VIP event in Manila. From the first moment I met her and we laughed over her being a Sheila in Australia I knew that this was a wonderful woman I needed in my life. Sheila is a fantastic photographer with her little lego lady. More fascinating and fun though is the podcast, This One Time, that she allows her husband Evo to be apart of. Ok maybe I made that bit up. These two are a dynamic duo.
Alex, Story of My World
Alex is a huge ball of European energy. Bouncing around the globe being hilarious and also taking the time to create Story of My World. Story of my World is an online travel magazine. It’s written not by journalists, writers or travel companies, but by travelers who share their world with other travelers.
Taylor, Taylor’s Tracks
Taylor is hilariously fun on Snapchat. A Canadian with a curiosity for cultures, a bad ear for languages, and taste buds that love sweet over spicy. She’s currently learning and sharing all of her embarrassing mistakes and how to avoid them so we don’t make the same ones.
Vicki, Make Time To See The World
Vicki is a UK law graduate who’s currently based in Melbourne. Her blog covers a whole plethora of areas – resources for bloggers, location guides, round ups. It’s a one stop shop for your travel info needs.
Sarah, Fit Travels
Ok so don’t shoot me. Fitness isn’t just something that you desperately try to get before you go travelling. Sarah shows us how to keep fit on the road, as well as prior to your big or little adventure.
If you need some fitspiration check out her insta account.
Gemma, Two Scots Abroad
As the name suggest Gemma is one half of Two Scots Abroad. You’ll find their website oozing with generous and useful advise and a very Scottish flair. Gemma is the only lady this year to make the list who I haven’t met in real life as yet. I love reading her travel tales and the extremely helpful guides.
And we’re done. So there it is for another year. A list of wonderful woman that you really should be checking out right about now. I do just want to say that this list in no way is a comprehensive list. It’s merely a peek into the travel community and a small recognition of some wonderful women doing some wonderful work. There are so many more ladies out there who are rocking this globe. However I did have to stop at 17 as well it’s a 2017 list. Symmetry my friends.Symmetry.
Do you feel as if I’ve left anyone off this list? Let me know in the comments below.
Jeanette
Founder, Principal Blogger & Coffee Drinker
Coffee Lover | Travel Blogger | Horse Rider | Adventure Racer | Donut Dame. Generally nice lady-enjoys wine, indie movies & random dance parties in my tent.
Checking my GA and saw this is giving me traffic – nearly one year later! Thank you so much, such a lovely read a 11pm with wisdom tooth throbbing!
Glad you found it 😉
We LOVE this list.
Awesome travel blogs every travel addict should follow.
Hello,
This is such an awesome post and great group of traveling ladies. Thank you for introducing me to a whole range of inspiring women who dare to travel and share a slice of their experiences with us. It’s awesome to see so many successful female travel bloggers out there. Good work ladies!
I wonder why I am just finding about this website? I actually know about a couple of these bloggers.
That’s an amazing list of bloggers. We’re already following some and have found some more we would love to read more about. Thanks for sharing this!
Great list of female travel bloggers. As I am new to travel blogging this list is very helpful as I would read all of them and try to learn from them. Thanks for sharing!
Woah! This is a really nice list, I knew of some of these amazing travelers (and already followed them) but now thanks to you my ‘travel experts’ list just grew 😀
This is such an awesome post and a great group of travelling ladies! I already follow a few but there are plenty here to check out now 🙂 Hopefully Travel Textbook can be considered in the future!

Great list and while I already follow and interact with a couple, the others were still unknown to me. It’s truly amazing just reading about all the people – men and women – traveling the world and sharing their experiences. Kudos to you for bringing all the women together in this way.
Wow I really enjoyed this list. I am new to the travel blogger community so it is nice to see who is out there. Thank you!
Love this list – I enjoy finding good travel bloggers to follow. I’ve worked with Vicki and she’s great, so I’m sure the others on the list are wonderful as well!
I love the way you have described each blogger. off to follow quite a few! Nice tribute to world women’s day recognising other women in your own sphere.
This is a very inspirational post with a lot of great blogs suggestions. I am actually reading two of the blogs you have mentioned here and they are indeed written by wonderful women. As a woman myself, I love reading other women’s adventures in the world and their advice.
A nice list, and so good to see us females helping and supporting each other! I’ve met Tammy, she’s so nice, and her blog is really great. For the next list, it’d be nice to see some female bloggers of colour on here… we do exist 😀
Oh I know you ladies of colour do indeed exist. It’s so hard to squish down so many amazing women into such a small list. Each year it gets harder and harder. Race/ethnicity/religion/sexual preference isn’t a factor
That was the most fun, reading your list. Saving it to slowly get through and check out the awesome blogs properly. What a brilliant idea to share a post about such inspiring women! Thanks for that. x
It’s my pleasure!!
I know some already and will check out everyone else because they look amazing.
Nice to see such a list of great women.
I reckon we could make it 100. There are so many great female bloggers out there.
Time and effort went into this.
I’d love to be part of another list should you ever make one.
Meanwhile I hope this post goes viral and all the best!
Thanks Ruth! This list is very exclusive and you can’t nominate yourself. 😉 I haven’t done a family travel list just yet
Great list! Always looking for more travel blogs especially by amazing females!
Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing the amazing list. I have been following few of them and others are definitely new. Will do check their feed. 🙂
This is amazing! I love following female travel blogger’s adventures, its so inspirational! I was already following few of these ladies, I’ll make sure to check out the rest 🙂
Enjoy!
I have had a chance to read and follow a few of these bloggers from your list. I will definitely like to follow others. It’s awesome to see so many successful female travel bloggers out there. Good work ladies!
Already following a few of these awesome ladies, will be sure to check out the rest!!
I have read some of these bloggers…and some are new…thanks for introducing them. In India, not many women venture solo to far fetched lands….its nice to see the world! I find women travellers with family and kids inspirational..travelling, home schooling, making money…its a lot of work! Hat off to the ladies!
Diverse! I like this list !
Great list, some wonderful new travelling ladies to follow!
Awesome listing. Thanks for introducing these wonderful bloggers to me. I’m hoping to make it to your list next year! 😉
I’m sorry to say I’ve only heard of one of these- Where’s Sharon as I have a particular interest in family Travel myself. Thank you for showing me some more inspiring travel bloggers.
Glad to have been able to introduce you to some amazing women!! Sharon is pretty friggen awesome though
I have read a few posts by a few of these girls and they deserve to be on your list. I have found there are more female travel bloggers than male ones? Am I correct? I know there are a lot of girls out there who want to travel but haven’t yet, the 17 mentioned above are an inspiration for those dreaming of traveling!
Great list! I have permanent wanderlust so I’m always looking for new travel bloggers to follow! 🙂
I am always looking for new blogs to read and I have to be honest I have not heard of many of these. I am really looking forward to taking a look at their blogs. Travelling females rock. It is great to inspire other females that thwy can travel . . .solo, as a couple, on a budget etc.
Thanks for sharing
I am so JEALOUS of all these Traveling Ladies!! I wish I traveled enough to write a whole blog on the subject. You just gave me a whole list of people to follow 🙂
Oh I love this list!! I didn’t know about half of these ladies. Thanks of sharing and fueling my desire to travel more!
This is a really great list you have here! It’s bad but I haven’t heard of most of them, but I’ll definitely be checking them out, as I find female travel bloggers to be super inspirational and motivating! I can relate to the Two Scots Abroad as Im also one half of a couples travel blog! Thanks for sharing, they all look like amazing blogs!
How is the travelling with the other half going Heather?
What a great list! Can’t wait to start reading their blogs!
Love this list! So fun to follow along with your fav travel bloggers! Thanks for sharing!
I’m always looking for new travel bloggers to follow! I saved a bunch of these to come back to later. Thanks for sharing!
Great list! I love reading travel blogs to fuel my wanderlust!
Awesome list and thanks to introducing me to a few more epic female bloggers! Also nice to see a fellow South African on the list 🙂 Will def go check them all out 🙂
This is such a nice post!!! Looooove that it’s in theme with Women’s Day too. Hopefully I’ll get to meet some of these amazing women this year too, and maybe even make the list next year! Love having posts with good travel writers to follow.
What a cool list of kickass ladies. Like a few others mentioned, i love that there is a mix on here and not just the “cookie cutter” young and cute and single traveler. Maybe I’ll be here with you ladies next year! Happy International Women’s Day!
Not if you keep leaving comments with your blog address!! Please take a moment to read my open letter to travel bloggers!!
I love these kind of posts that celebrate others’ success! Also, definitely appreciate that it’s not a list full of young skinny blonde girls with unbelievable tans, but, like you said “strong, powerful, independent travellers”. Not that there’s anything wrong with young skinny blonde girls but ya know!
There’s a few ladies here I already follow but some I haven’t come across yet so I’ll have to check out their accounts! Thank you for sharing and happy international women’s day to you!
Thanks! It’s not a sexiest list because I think those style lists aren’t beneficial to women. I personally find them offensive and a waste of time. You don’t need to be sexy to travel.
Oh definitely! Whereas I am, by definition “young and blonde”, I don’t parade about in front of a camera in my floppy hat, and props to those who do, but I find good photography and personality a much more appealing trait in an online persona!
I was once young and blonde. Now I’m just blonde and well me 🙄
Awesome list! I follow many of these incredible female bloggers already but you have also given me some inspiration with some new faces and names to keep an eye out for! Great compilation, thanks for sharing – and Happy International Women’s Day 🙂
To be honest, I’ve only known/read a few of these travel bloggers on the list. Thank you for introducing me to a whole range of inspiring women who dare to travel and share a slice of their experiences with us. I can’t wait to read up on each of them and find out more about their adventures!
I love reading stories and articles from other travel bloggers. Thanks for sharing this list! I’m checking them all. 🙂
Thanks so much for including me! I always look forward to the next adventure with you!! 🙂 One of these days we’ll find a real rainbow latte!!
Honoured Jean, thank you for including me! And right back at you for being amazing 🙂
Great list! Some new ones I will have to check out:)
Great list! Love some of these already and now have more to read!
JB – Paula is a RED (fiery) nomad. Great list.
That is a really nice list! I’m glad to be friends with some awesome ladies mentioned on this list 😀 – Mica
