50 Awesome Travel Blog Name Ideas
50 77 Awesome Travel Blog Name Ideas
When I was getting ready to launch my travel blog, I had a really tough time picking a name for the blog. In reality, the name of a travel blog isn’t as important as you might think. It isn’t as important as quality writing, a well-designed site, a good brand, and a lot of content. However, your name is still a big piece of the puzzle, and should be something you like and can live with. To come up with my blog’s name, I did an exercise to come up with as many awesome travel blog names as possible and then slowly narrowed it down to my current name. I thought I would share this list with any future travel bloggers who are currently brainstorming for a name. Not all of these were from my original list, as I have added more since, so go ahead and use this list as a starting point for your own brainstorming.
UPDATE: Feel free to use any of these names for your own travel blog. People have been emailing me a lot asking if they can use a name on the list. You don’t need my permission to use any of these names since I don’t own any of them. I also don’t own any of the domain names, so if it’s already taken there isn’t anything I can do. Good luck in your search!
