Travel research website Tripbase who 'save users the hours, days or weeks that it takes to search for a perfect personalized vacation' recently listed 100 of their favourite travel writers.
Anyone who has already visited Tripbase knows that their simple search criteria [to Fly or Drive?; depart when?; for how long; how important are the following things? Nightlife, Dining, Shopping, Nature, Attractions] is great for directing internet-fatigued holiday-seekers straight to a top ranked hotel in a suitable mainstream destination. Useful information, such as the local climate and links to travel articles are offered too.
By circulating a list of their favourite travel writers, Tripbase have gone a step further in the supply of online travel inspiration: they've added passionate and knowledgeable voices to their travel machine.
The 100 writers from around the world are randomly numbered, rather than ranked, and include:
UK-based Jeremy Head jeremyhead.com whose Travelblather blog gives informative and entertaining reflections on travel writing today.
Record breaking ski journalist Arnie Wilson arniewilson.com
Toronto-based Lucy Izon canadacool.com
Journalist Alexis Grant alexisgrant.com who is backpacking solo through Africa.
Balkans expert Chris Deliso chrisdeliso.com

Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the insight. To be honest I featured this bit of 'news' because it brought a few bloggers to my attention that I hadn't heard of, and I always like to raise awareness on that front.

Great journey
Thank you so much for this insight. I am hoping to find Hajj Umrah travel agents London and then will share the experience of my holy pilgrimage on this platform.
Exploring Tripbase's selection of 100 favorite travel writers is like embarking on a literary journey within the Hajj Umrah Travel Agency UK. Each writer paints a vivid picture of destinations worldwide, inspiring wanderlust and adventure.
