In addition to travel forums, classic travel guides, Facebook and Instagram, we of course also read our colleagues' travel blogs for inspiration and travel planning.
The disadvantage of classic travel guides is obvious: they cost money, are usually not up to date and don't go into depth, especially where it gets interesting for us.
Especially when it comes to details, we like to look around in travel forums or ask another travel blogger about their experiences.
As we are often asked which sites we use for information, we have put together a small list of travel bloggers and travel blogs that we find really interesting.
Do you already know everything about us?
Here is our travel blogger list for 2019
