blog post ideas for travel bloggers

One of the more difficult parts about being a blogger is staying inspired and keeping up with a content schedule. This might be even more true with travel blogging if you’ve blogged previous trips, and you’re not sure if those trips can help you anymore. Luckily, as a blogger and content strategist for lifestyle bloggers, I’ve got tons of blog post ideas for travel bloggers, even if you haven’t gone on a trip lately.

Destination Travel Blog Posts

If you’ve got trips to blog, there are multiple ways to do so. You can split up a single trip into different blog posts. This gives you more content for that specific place and for your blog in general. Let’s say you’re going to Paris. Here’s how you could split up that trip.

  1. Go through your itinerary for the trip and show how you spent your time there
  2. Write about the best places to eat in Paris
  3. Write about things you wish you knew before you visited Paris
  4. Show the best photo spots throughout Paris
  5. Write about the best places to stay in the city
  6. Write about the places travelers should visit or avoid

  10. Give your readers some outfit inspiration for their Paris trip. How should they dress for the season?
