Top 10 Australian Travel Blogs

Siergiej Miloczkin and Hanna Oksanen contributed to this post.

This week’s Top 10 has gone international! Using Cision’s media database and enlisting the help of our colleagues in Europe, we compiled this list of Australian travel blogs based on Cision’s proprietary research. We then ranked the blogs by comment count, as well as number of inbound links. Active social presence was also taken into account. Please note that we focused on independent blogs, excluding those run by larger brands or agencies.

1. Tuula  – Jessica Stein

Of the five towns of Cinque Terre, Riomaggiore has stayed with me as my favourite. I first visited by myself when I was 21, trying to recover from a heartbreak. I made some friends at the hostel, hiked between each town, ate endless pesto pizza and ended each day with a beer in hand while watching the sun set over the ocean from this spot. I can’t wait to introduce my parents to this place that has meant so much to me. 💙✨🍕🍺⛵️💕 #tuulatravels

3. World of Wanderlust – Brooke Saward

When it comes to my favourite hidden gems in Europe, Bosnia & Herzegovina is the best kept secret of all. If you’re looking for somewhere off the beaten path and truly too beautiful for words, this is it. #Bosnia #bosniaandherzegovina

4. Time Travel Turtle – Michael Turtle

That’s how excited I have been in the Baden-Württemberg region of Germany for the past week! Not only have I had a good chance to explore Stuttgart, but I’ve seen a bit of the region as well. Such wonderful nature filled with history and modern culture. Lots of stories to tell on the blog over the coming weeks! In the meantime, I’m moving on to a new country (my first time there). I’ll give you a clue tomorrow where it is… #sunnybawu #sunnystuttgart #travel #germany
