Are you the kind of person that likes to see other people travel, but not travel yourself? Or maybe you’re the type who likes to research thoroughly before traveling by going through travel blogs?
Either way, travel blogs are becoming essential for those consumed by wanderlust and those who like to sit at home and live vicariously through others.

Torre lives on fear. And travel. But mostly fear. Torre started her blog in 2004 to reassure her mother that she was not dead, and her writing and stories are extremely open, hilarious and personable. Her blogging success kick-started her writing career as well – she now has a memoir published that was optioned for a movie. She writes about how she realized that travelers were not fearless, and reveals even more in her book Love with a Chance of Drowning, which is a must-read.
