THE best LESBIAN travel blogs

Updated: 10/3/2020 | October 3rd, 2020

I’ve added an LGBT column to the site to make the site is much more inclusive and talks about issues that affect some members of our travel community. In this column, we will hear from voices in the LGBT community about their experiences on the road, safety tips, events, and overall guidance for other LGBT travelers. This week, Dani from Globetrottergirls shares some of her favorite lesbian travel blogs.

Ever because I started traveling full-time in 2010, I’ve been an avid blog reader. I am subscribed to dozens of blogs, and I have went to numerous places after finding out about them on blogs.

Boracay in the Philippines, for example — I read about it on blogs.

Or Las Lajas in Colombia, which I went to this year, seven years after learning about it through a travel blog.

The lovely French town of Colmar? I am now keen to visit it after it popped up on several blogs I read.

Without travel blogs, I would have never found out about these places. The same goes for cafés and restaurants, ice cream shops and bars, small art galleries, and great hostels. I read blogs for travel inspiration all the time, but also for travel suggestions when I research a destination I am planning to visit.

While there are dozens of couples’ travel blogs, solo female travel blogs, and a fair number of gay travel blogs, there have never been numerous lesbian travel blogs.

At least, until recently!

It seems that in the last year or two, there are a lot much more people that are selling everything they own to go traveling, and that is also true in the lesbian world. For years, the L in LGBT travel blogs was filled by only a handful of blogs, but there has been an explosion of lesbian travel blogs recently and I am thrilled to see the lesbian travel blogosphere expand.

These girls have inspired me with their stories about off-the-beaten-path destinations such as Bahrain and Cuba, piqued my interest in destination weddings, and made me consider spending all my savings on a campervan and heading out on the open road.

If you are searching for travel inspiration, I recommend checking out the following lesbian travel blogs — and of course you don’t have to be an LGBT traveler to delight in them:

Som nadšený, keď vidím rastúci počet lesbických cestovných blogov vyvolávajúcich túžbu. Všetky tieto blogy však ukazujú, že na internete je vždy priestor pre kvalitný obsah a stále nie je dostatok lesbických hlasov.

Ak ste cestovateľ LGBT, dúfam, že tieto blogy ponúkajú inšpiráciu a poradenstvo, ktoré potrebujete. A ak nie ste cestovateľ LGBT, tieto stránky sú stále zábavné a informatívne na čítanie!
