Traveling opens up a lot of new opportunities and experiences, but actually planning and going on a trip to an unfamiliar place can be overwhelming. Fortunately, experienced travelers from all walks of life are sharing their stories online to inspire and help others, and here, in no particular order, are some travel and lifestyle blogs that feature a lot of useful advice.
First up, at #1, we have Dobbernationloves. Launched in 2006, it is an award-winning lifestyle publication by Toronto-based writer and photographer Andrew John Virtue Dobson. Originally created with a goal to inspire solo travelers to eat around the globe, it's committed to sharing travel itineraries and tours of the world's most luxurious hotels and resorts.
Dobbernationloves also publishes stories about the latest phones, cameras, computers, tablets, cars, and disability devices. The team writes helpful articles that offer various tech-related tips, such as how to create fun travel videos on an iPhone, how to run one's own blog, or even an entire guide on how to start vlogging.

The site features articles on Vee's personal life and travels, reviews, and business tips.
Mainly focused on places in the Philippines, her travel guides include recommendations for affordable accommodations and popular tourist destinations in the country, such as Boracay and Cebu. As a virtual assistant who also owns a farm, Vee writes about how one can be more productive at work and home, as well as tips on growing certain crops indoors.

At #4 is Nomadic Boys. Run by Stefan Arestis and Sebastien Chaneac, it is a travel blog showcasing all their trips as a couple. By providing a first-hand account of their adventures, including lists of LGBT-inclusive businesses and events, the couple hopes to inspire and show other gay travelers that they can visit more places in the world than they thought possible.
For every place Arestis and Chaneac visit, they like to make local friends to experience the culture and gay scene from their perspective. This inspired the website's Gay Stories section, which features interviews with members of the LGBTQ community from all around the world, safety tips for travelers, and more.
