Top Travel Blog Owners Share Their Most Favorite Destination
Table of Contents
I always enjoy reading about the adventures and travel experiences of other travel bloggers from around the world. Most of these people have traveled extensively to many different and sometimes, unheard of destinations.
Because of this, I asked a select few travel bloggers, to reveal their favorite place in the world, they’ve enjoyed visiting so far.
As you are about to see, the 🌎 world is big and the answers given my each blogger, certainly are unique for each individual.
My family and I have also been very fortunate to have been able to travel extensively over the years. We’ve travelled to some wonderful countries and it really is hard to pick a {most favorite destination}.
They have all been an amazing experience, with memories from each destination visited, that will last a lifetime. If I was asked and had to pick one, then I would have to say …
My Favorite Travel Destination
Back in 2014, my wife and I traveled ‘Down Under’ to 🦘 Australia for the very first time from 🍁 Canada. It was an amazing experience!
Both of us loved this country and we had the pleasure of returning a second time just a couple of seasons ago. We also enjoyed a fabulous 11 night 🛳 Royal Caribbean South Pacific Cruise, 🛳 departing from Beautiful ⚓ Sydney Harbor.
During the cruise we made port in 🌴 Luganville, Vanuatu. Once ashore, we made our way to 🏝 Champagne Beach, about a 40 minute drive out of town.
We were one of the first to arrive and had the 🏖 beach in the middle of nowhere, all to ourselves. It was absolutely 📸 picture perfect for a beach lover!
Crystal clear water with colors changing as you looked out, with powder white sand as soft as cooking flour under your feet. All, in a small protected Bay in the middle in the beautiful – 🏝 Islands in the South Pacific.
It was picture perfect!😎
Sure there have been many other wonderful places we have visited over the years, but this was absolutely beautiful!
Top Bloggers Favorites
Gyspy Nester – Newfoundland
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #1
While it is hard to pick a favorite, we fell in love with Newfoundland. Natural beauty abounds, from Gros Morne National Park to the birds at Cape St. Marys, and the people are as warm and friendly as anywhere we’ve ever been.
There are unique experiences to be found all across the island, Vikings at the L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, whitewater rafting on the Exploits River and at Twillingate, we kayaked with 🐳 whales, dolphins, and icebergs!

yTravelblog – Broome Western Australia
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #2
Our favorite destination is Broome, Western Australia. It’s the exotic flavor of Asia, mixed with the rugged Australian outback, and the chilled out Aussie beach living. It’s also a great base to explore one of Australia’s most incredible regions: The Kimberley.
It’s remote, isolated, filled with adventure and many stunning sites to be enthralled by such as rugged gorges, epic waterways, incandescent ocean and a few wild crocs!

Tanama Tales – Sedona Arizona
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #3
For a person in love with travel, it is difficult to pick a favorite destination. But lately, I have been dreaming, more than usual, with Sedona (Arizona). I visited last year during the month of November when the crowds were small and the beautiful weather conditions allowed for miles and miles of views.
Sedona is notorious for two things: the red rocks and the vortexes (centers of energy). Since I enjoy proximity with nature, the huge buttes and promontories rising from the valley floor in different shapes and forms left me impressed.
The panorama is always changing before your eyes. The light, hitting the rocks from different angles during the day, accentuates or masks the orange, cream and yellow tones. The surreal scene is completed by terracotta soils, scruffy vegetation and a plethora of clouds.
In addition, the area is full of hiking trails (taking you to rivers, creeks, arches, formations, etc.), attractions, activities, small towns, good places to eat and cozy places to sleep. I can’t wait for my return to the area.
I feel like I saw only a minuscule portion of the amazing natural beauty on this corner of the state.

Hole in the Donut – Nepal Puma Cultural Home Stay
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #4
“Of the 50+ countries I’ve visited in my lifetime, my hands-down favorite is Nepal. Aside from the majestic scenery, which ranges from the world’s tallest mountain (Mt. Everest) to tiger and elephant-filled national parks in the southern jungles, I am constantly intrigued by the ethnic diversity.
The census of the government of Nepal shows a whopping 102 different ethnic groups in the country, each of which has its unique customs, tradition, dress, food, and religion. Perhaps most impressive is the warmth which which I have been welcomed into local homes throughout the country, and the lifelong friendships that have resulted.
There is an indefinable “something special” about Nepali people that draws me back time after time. Add to this the fact that the cost of living is among the lowest in the world and as an American citizen I can stay up to five months per year, and Nepal becomes one of the best travel destinations in the world.

Goats on the Road – Guanajuato Mexico
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #5
Choosing a favorite destination is like choosing your favorite child, it’s impossible. Each destination in the world is special for a certain reason, and each has something different to offer the traveler. But, for the purpose of this article, I’ll try to narrow down our favorite country to just one.
As of just this past week, we’ve decided that Mexico is our top country for traveling! Many people (mainly North Americans) associate this southern country with all-inclusive holiday packages and gated resorts.
However, if you travel independently here, you’ll be surprised at what you find. Incredible golden beaches span the western coast, while powdery white sands and turquoise blue waters are located in the Yucatan Peninsula.
The people are welcoming, warm and willing to help travelers. The food is incredible and if you thought it was only tacos, think again. Regional dishes are found in each state and the cuisine here is actually quite diverse.
The colonial sights, museums, and architecture are very impressive and the natural landscapes are beautiful as well.
On top of all of this, Mexico is a very affordable country to travel through, and the transportation options are great! Check it out for yourself, we’re sure you’ll be impressed by what you see.

WildJunket – Antarctica
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #6
There are so many places that have truly blown my mind, such as Bhutan, Madagascar and Papua New Guinea, but my absolute favorite place has got to be Antarctica. Traveling to Antarctica feels like you’re heading to the edge of the world, where animals roam freely and nature reigns.
We human beings are just voyeurs, taking a peek into a world that’s left just the way it should be – pristine, raw, untainted and absolutely stunning.
I will always remember gliding by icebergs bigger than the vessel, zipping just inches away from whales and leopard seals and sitting on the snow only to have penguins come up to me and say hi.

Mapping Megan – Iceland
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #7

Iceland is by far my favorite travel destination, and easily the best place we have visited to date. It is one of the last untouched destinations left on earth. It’s exotic, naturally beautiful, and largely untouched by tourism which we absolutely love.
We’re advocates for traveling off the beaten path, and huge fans of heading out into the wild without being followed by hordes of travelers and tourist buses.
Iceland is the perfect destination for this, and the landscape is so spectacularly beautiful – waterfalls, glaciers, volcanic activity, dramatic fjords, snow capped mountains and geothermal lagoons – it’s truly out of this world! South Iceland.

Global Gallavanting – Cambodia
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #8
When you’ve been travelling for 2 years the hardest question is ‘what is your favorite destination!’ Whilst I love Australia and find India really incredible, my favorite place in the world has to be Cambodia.
I fell in love with Cambodia almost as soon as I’d crossed the border. First, she charmed me and captured my imagination with her idyllic and undeveloped countryside, emerald rice paddies scattered with quaint, delightfully dilapidated towns and undeveloped white sand islands with impossibly clear turquoise seas.
After a shocking past, there is now so much to love about this small, poor South East Asian country – home to the most incredible sight I’ve seen so far – the impressive, ancient temples at Angkor Wat, delicious food and traveling here is super cheap – you can find accommodation from only $5 a night and a beer for 50 cents.
Perhaps the thing about Cambodia that captured my heart so much was the inspiring and infectious optimism of the genuinely friendly people who have been through hell.
I can’t wait to return!

Heather on her travels – Tivoli Gardens Copenhagen
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #9
Destinations are like children – we love them each for their individual character and find it hard to choose a favorite.
However, one place that I have been drawn back to a number of times in spring, summer and winter is Copenhagen.
It’s a city with a relaxed vibe and friendly locals who invariably speak excellent English. There’s sparkling water everywhere you look whether the canals or the harbour where you can swim in summer.
Historic buildings rub shoulder with cool modern design and the food is world class even though you may wince at the price of dinner or a beer. I’d recommend visiting in spring and summer when everyone hangs out in the parks or around the harbour and hire a bike to get effortlessly around town.

Traveling Canucks – Easter Island
Travel Blogs Favorite Places #10
The remote island seems almost fictional, like something out of a childhood bedtime story. At times, it feels as if the island was never meant to be re-discovered by modern man, as if it has a dark history that it doesn’t want to reveal to the world.
We knew very little about Rapa Nui, aside from the iconic images of giant stone heads that oddly pop out of the earth like a man buried in sand on the beach with nothing but his head visible.
It’s a surreal feeling to be in the presence of the ancient Moai statues, alone and deserted on a volcanic island surrounded by wild horses and whispering trade winds. At times we had to pinch ourselves to remind us that it wasn’t a dream that we were actually walking on the mysterious island.
