I love the Matador Network as you can find posts on a huge variety of travel related subjects and while they do love their list posts, they offer a lot of quality content outside of this style as well.

8. Fearful Adventurer

The Fearful Adventurer is a blog by Torre DeRoche, I found this gem while looking into a trip I was taking a few years back and loved everything about it. Two of my favourites are below but there many more and I enjoyed reading them so much that I bought Torre’s book “Love with a Chance of Drowning”, which I’d recommend to anyone with a love of travelling.

9. Off Track Planet

Off Track Planet is on here because I’ve been following the website for years and love the weird and wonderful posts they publish. If titles like “Guide to Visiting Stateless Nations” and “Hey Man, Why Are You Surfing on a River?” sound interesting to you, go take a look.

10. Casey Neistat

There are lots of other brilliant travel blogs and websites out there (feel free to add them in the comments below), but I’m throwing in Casey Neistat as an honorary mention for number 10. While Casey is technically a film director, his YouTube videos, Instagram posts and even Snapchat stories involve a great deal of travel and more importantly adventure. To get a better idea of why Casey made it into this top 10, take a look at the videos below.
