10 Backpacking Blogs You’ll Love

March 9th, 2010

Sti1 1024x768 10 Backpacking Blogs Youll Love

Backpacking is a life-changing way to travel.   From taking trains to volunteering, you can green your backpacking.

For years, traveling greener backpacked in the mountains.  We walked and took trains, stayed in cabins and camped out.  Living out of a backpack, our mountain boots and North Face jackets were our best friends.  Freedom, adventure and the open mountain roads were our everyday.

That’s why we love backpacking blogs and those bold bloggers who share their adventures backpacking around the world.  Whether you’re a new or experienced backpacker, these blogs can tell you about destinations, gear, safety, trends, lifestyle and more.

Here are 10 Backpacking Blogs You’ll Love:

  1. Go Backpacking
  2. Off Track Planet
  3. Art of Backpacking
  4. Two Backpackers
  5. Have Pack, Will Travel
  6. Briefcase to Backpack
  7. Backpacking Travel
  8. i Backpack Canada
  9. backpackingmatt
  10. Backpack with Brock

Is Asia calling?   If it is, there are Asia blogs about everything Asia for everyone from travelers, foodies and expats to educators and photographers.

traveling greener loves My Several Worlds and other blogs by Taiwan-based freelance writer/editor Carrie Kellenberger.  What we love about her blogs is they’re global cool and eclectic with posts on Taiwan, traveling in Asia, art, culture, education, photography and more.

“I love writing. I love traveling. I love photography. I love Asia. I don’t need any more than this to be inspired,” she says.

Kellenberger launched My Several Worlds to keep her family and friends updated on her travels and adventures in Asia.  Since then, she launched another two sites – Taiwan Photographers and Best Beaches in Asia and a third – Lay Your Head Here with her husband.

Says Kellenberger:  “My plan for 2010 is to bring it all back home. I’ll still be writing about travel, destinations, cultures, and lifestyles, but I also want to go old school and start writing more about our personal observations, experiences and travels in Asia.”

Need more inspiration?  Here are 10 Asia Blogs You’ll Love:

1. My Several Worlds

2. Asian Ramblings

3. EatingAsia

4. Unearthing Asia

5. Mike’s Blender

6. Jamie Sinz

7. Annamatic

8. Stickyrice

9. Kunzum

10. Chris in South Korea

Cycling and cycling blogs are alive and kicking all over the world.

traveling greener loves the street stylish blog Copenhagen Cycle Chic by journalist, film director and photographer Mikael Colville-Andersen.  The blog was born in 2007 when he created a place for photos about Copenhagen’s bicycle culture on the Internet.

Colville-Andersen has teamed up with other cycling bloggers, including their angles, perspectives and photos.   Since 2007, numerous Cycle Chic “collaborator & copycat”  blogs and websites inspired by CCC have launched.

Says Colville-Anderson:

“Copenhagen Cycle Chic aims to take back the bike culture by showing how the bicycle once again can be an integral, respectable and feasible transport form, free of sports clothes and gear, and how it can play a vital role in increasing the life quality in cities.”

From bike culture to adventure travel, here are 10 cycling blogs you’ll love:

1.  Copenhagen Cycle Chic

2.  Cycling the Americas

3.  The Big Africa Cycle

4.  Revolution Cycle

5.  The Hungry Cyclist

6.  Yaksite.org

7.  Family on Bikes

8.  Viking Biker

9.  The SolarCycle Diaries

10. Riding the Spine
