The fundamentals of working with bloggers are the same as with traditional journalists at traditional media outlets: respect their schedules; take time to read their material to learn their interests; and only contact them if/when they want to be contacted.
Vuelio’s blog ranking methodology takes into consideration social sharing, topic-related content and post frequency. Profiles of these Travel blogs and their authors can be found in the Vuelio Media Database.
This is cool! As a Londoner and traveller over 100 countries I hope to make it to the 2017 list!
Pretty good selection of travel bloggers.
Hey thanks for this!
I’ve just started by travel/lifestyle blog and this was very helpful.

Amazing blog. Keep sharing.
Well done to all of the blogs and bloggers listed. I look to the established sites you have named for inspiration as to how travel bloggers should do things well.
Glad to see you regularly update this list. Please check out http://travelsofadam.com/ for future updates – one of the world’s largest independent travel blogs with a strong focus on city trips and gay travel.
A great round up of fantastic blogs – I’d be pleased to be considered for inclusion in either this category or London Lifestyle blogs – or even a new luxury blogs category!

Thanks for this great list! Global Grasshopper is particularly cool! Really enjoyed their article on 13 quirky jobs to get when travelling!
I visited the blogs given here. These are very helpful for the travelers. I appreciate this share.
Thanks for sharing the top 10 list. Congrats to all those who made it on the list.
Thank you for this post. Useful list of top 10 UK travel blogs.
Great list, thanks
Thanks for this list, I’ve been extensively researching UK travel bloggers in preparation for the launch of my own London blog and this helped massively.
Hopefully I’ll be doing something a bit different with my blog, it will focus on what travellers and tourists really want which is: what are the best things to do whilst I’m here. I’ll have lots of top 10 lists and profiles of every London attraction.
Check out the site if you are interested, I could do with the feedback.
Great list, especially liked inside the travellab!
Absolutely delighted to feature in your Top 10 list and in such great company too 🙂 I write for the love of travel and to share stories and it is always rewarding when others enjoy it too. Thank you.
Nice your travel list……
Thanks for the fantastic list:)
I especially like 40 countries before I’m 30. I absolutely ADORE travelling and although I think 40 countries is a bit much for me, I’ve lowered my own goal to 20 and that is completely doable.
Thanks again,
Victoria
Thanks nice ranked … but you’ve missed few important web
Great list… Congratulations all of you.
