There are gazillions of travel blogs out there, maybe in the Philippines alone there are thousands, no, maybe hundreds of thousands of travel blogs. And realistically we can only follow a few.
Here’s my Top 15 Philippine Travel Blogs (and I recommend that you should follow them too)
Justwandering is full of useful information about places, accommodations and almost everything about the travelling world. The pictures of the places with her dolls will surely captivate your attention. Nina wanders around the Philippines and around Asia as well. She also shares her travel expense after a trip which will definitely be useful for those who are planning their next big adventure. Check out Flip’s short interview with Nina.
Langyaw is one of the most awarded travel blogs in the Philippines. Estan writes about his adventures in the Philippines and some other places in Asia. What fascinate me about his blog are the pictures. I was just blown away with how beautiful his pictures are. You should check it out to see what I mean. Check out Flip’s short interview with Estan.
Another multi-awarded travel blogger/photographer in town is Ferdz. His blog chronicles his journey around the country and in Asia too. His pictures are awesome and the details of his journey in his blog will definitely be helpful for those who want to go to the places that he’s been to. Check out Flip’s short interview with Ferdz.
Byahilo seems to be one of the longest running blog in the Philippines and this guy would probably have written everything about the 7107 islands. I like his blog because he features festivals in the Philippines which are an important part of our culture.
Tutubi is another anonymous blogger who writes about his journey around the country and Asia. I’ve been following his blog for the longest time I think. And up to now I still find his articles useful and fun to read.
Out of town blog provides a lot of useful information about places, food, transportation and about travel blogging itself. Melo also intiates some online contests. Lately, Melo writes about tips about blogging that I think newbies would find very very useful. He also provides an online review about the hotels/hostels that he stayed in.
Escape Islands would also have covered almost all the islands in the Philippines. Some of which are places that i haven’t heard before. If you’re looking for a blog that will help you go to the off the beaten path then this one is for you. Check out Flip’s short interview with Dong Ho.
Why??? He travels with a ridiculously low budget and I love it. He proves to anyone that if there’s a will, there’s a way. I also like how he chronicles his expenses down to the last Coke he drunk. Way to go man!!! Check out Flip’s short interview with James.
This girl proves that yes a Filipina can! She ventured to Europe on her own and travelled across Southeast Asia. Fear seems to be not included in her vocabulary. She’s such an inspiration for all the independent female travellers out there.Check out Flip’s short interview with Gay.
Monette and Ron’s blog would surely entertain you not to mention that their posts are very useful for those who are planning to explore Southeast Asia. Fliptravels is one of the youngest travel blogs that is bound to be big and very popular in the future. Did I mention that Ron takes f*cking awesome pictures too!Check out Flip’s short interview with Ron and Monette.
This girl is destined to see the world. The first time I read her blog I felt that she really wants to explore as much as she can. The author, Gael, writes really well and you could actually feel her emotions in her posts. I don’t know why, but I’m very much drawn to her blog even if I haven’t seen the writer yet.
Chyng’s blog is one of the lightest and fun to read blogs out there. She writes about her travels in and out of the Philippines and she includes a lot of recommendation about the food she had tasted and the places that she stayed in. Check out Flip’s short interview with Chyng.
Marky juggles his time between his full time work and travelling. For those who are looking for the long-weekend escapes, this blog would definitely be very very useful. Check out Flip’s short interview with Marky.
Jerik documents his trip around the Philippines and around Asia too. I like it when he talks about his realizations while on the road. This blog is for those who enjoy solitary travels and occasional partying with strangers. Check out Flip’s short interview with Jerik.
Travelling will never be complete without food! And this is why Our Awesome Planet is on my list. Anton shares with us the experience of dining in different restaurants in the Philippines. This is for all the foodies out there.
Update: Matt Long of Landlopers included this list to his Top Ten List of Top Ten Travel Blog List

Valuable information and excellent design you got here! I would like to thank you for sharing your thoughts and time into the stuff you post!! Thumbs up!
great list! i follow most of the blogs mentioned here.
I am still new in travel article writing and your blogs inspired me more to pursue this endeavor. I also followed the blogs included in your list and found them to be truly exciting.
a lot of them are my inspiration not just to travel but to live life to the fullest… connect with them more
So pleased I just saw your tweet. I didn’t know any of these blogs before. Scary, though – they could make me want to add the Philippines to my wish list
Sir help naman, mga makakasamang mag backpacking thailand, cambodia and vietnam? For sure you know a lot of groups there. It’s ok if they’ll extend to nearby countries:) Thanks and Godbless. Really helpful blog:)
hi sir, once you go to those countries you’ll definitely meet a lot of other backpackers too… for sure you’ll be able to travel with them… those three countries are full of backpackers
another way to meet other backpackers is couchsurfing.com, check out the forum of specific countries… there are some people there who are looking for travel buddies too… enjoy your trip maynard
Great list!! I recommend this blogs as well:

Great list. All agree to be the top Philippine travel blogs. But my favorite travel is still Lakwatsera De Primera. hehe
Wow. Great list. Now I’ve got lots of reading to do.
I like the list. I follow most of the bloggers mentioned, especially Gael. My favorite travel blogger though is jona bering of http://jonabering.wordpress.com/ hehehe
Humor me, but I was expecting a travel blog entitled “Lost” (chuckle). Even the most seasoned travelers experienced gotten off the beaten track literally but not in a dangerous sense I hope. All the blogs here are great.
Nice listing! In the processing of researching a November trip to your beautiful country. The more I read the more I want to see…and stay longer!
I’m so surprised The Philippines isn’t more traveled or talked about – that’s ok, I’ll be the first of my friends to go.

Thanks for giving this information. Hope you can sort out more travel blogs and can include mine
Hello! I’m trying to setup a travel blog and I would like to ask where you bought your domain name? How much did it cost? TIA! =)
Hi Kiki, thank you very much for dropping by. I bought my domain in namecheap

ambitious as I may sound but hope to be in the list one day.

thanks.
Thanks to your site! I now have an idea on how to revised my blog. Our old blog used to be more on mountaineering/backpacking, but since we aren’t that active in our hobby, we decided to change it to a travel blog. Thank you and more power to us! I am now inspired to modify, and improve our blog..
you’re welcome
Great list, bro! Bookmarked. @FlipNoMad… bro, we put up your link on our site for over a month, but got no reply from you. well, anyhow you’re still a big inspiration to us.:) Hope you could add us to your links section. Thanks!
Great list Flip,
I really want to travel and backpack through the Philippines and these guys will keep me entertained as I look for places to go!
Hi. I’ve been travelling a lot too, but I haven’t blogged about it all. check my link for the list of places lhendless.tumblr.com
Anyway, gusto ko lang po ask, what are your tips for blogging? I’ve travelled 11 countries by now pero I don’t know where to start. And I’m planning to do like journeying james 100-day challenge. Is it advisable, for a girl to travel alone?
