10 LGBTQ+ Travel Bloggers To follow in 2019

LGBTQ+, Our Life

The world is a vast and beautiful place, and we love discovering it vicariously through Instagram. Not only are the pictures gorgeous, but also it provides us with new bucket list ideas, teaches us about different cultures, and helps us consider what destinations may be more welcoming to LGBTQ+ couples. While Alexa and I love to travel, we consider ourselves to be more color hunters over travel bloggers, so we’ve rounded up 10 of our favorite LGBTQ+ travel bloggers that you need to be following in 2019.

1. Onceuponajrny

Roxanne and Maartje’s feed is filled with the most dreamy photos from their travels around the world. They are pros at capturing magical moments. We love following their travels and reading about their adventures on their blog which is full of amazing tips for traveling as an LGBTQ+ couple.



It’s International Day of Happiness!!! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ People might think we’re always happy, judging from this platform. And yes, we are generally very happy people and we laugh A LOT. But true happiness isn’t just laughing, nor feeling ‘happy’. Fun fact: in Dutch, the words ‘happy’ and ‘happiness’ don’t sound nor look alike at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I (Maartje) actually took a course about happiness in college and it was mind-blowing. It’s true that happiness is a choice, it has to come from within and sure, there are external factors that can make you happy on the short term (coffee is definitely one for me), but in the long run it’s all up to you. Happiness is also found most often when living a meaningful life, apparently having a purpose makes for long term happiness. Is it just me – weird humanities graduate – or is that really interesting? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our message: be happy today and create happiness for yourself for the long term ♡ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #myhelsinkiresidence #myhelsinki #visithelsinki #helsinkipride #visitfinland #pride2019 #pride #dayofhappiness #gaytravel #lgbttravel #lgbtcommunity #lesbiansofig #futuremrs #twobridetribe #travelblogger #lovewins #femmetribe #gaykrant #twobridesarebetterthanone #QueerCulture #lezziegram #lgbttravelers #coupletravel

2. Deeristravelling

Aon and Lan bring so much color to our feed. We love seeing their posts and reading about their travels. They are experts at capturing the amazing colors and textures of all the uniquely wonderful places they visit and have us planning a trip to Thailand ASAP! They also write about all of their travel on their blog which you can find here.



This is one of the most Instagrammed places in Hong Kong – Choi Hung Estate!🌈 Have you seen it on the internet before❓ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ While it was never designed to be a tourist attraction, it’s fast gained attention as a perfect photo spot firstly for locals and later for a worldwide audience. The Choi Hung Estate was built back in 1964 to provide locals with affordable housing – which is a big deal in Hong Kong, where the cost of living is the second highest in the world! They painted the estate in rainbow colors to make it look cheerful, and the world fell in love with it!❤ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Choi Hung literally means rainbow in Cantonese and you can totally understand why after you see this basketball court with a cute colorful residential building as its backdrop. The area itself located on a roof of the multi-level parking lot (again!)🏀 ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ What a view! What do you think❓

3. 27travels

Gabi and Shanna have some of the most amazing photos! They fill our feed with vibrant colors of the tropics balanced with everyday moments from their life in NYC. We’ve loved virtually tagging along with them as they’ve explored Italy, Curacao, and most recently the Philippines (and so many more places)! And to top it all off, these ladies are just so friendly and down to earth and are the embodiment of a power couple, with one being a  kick ass photographer and the other a videographer. Don’t forget to check out their youtube channel and their newly launched blog!



THE BEST BEACHES IN THE WORLD 💙 okay so we haven’t been everywhere in the world (yet) but you’ve probably heard us say before Curaçao has some the best beaches we’ve ever seen! Did you know Curaçao has over 20 beaches on the island? Since people are always asking us for Curaçao travel tips, we decided to make a YouTube video about our top 5 favorite beaches! ⠀⠀⠀ If you like clear blue water, epic snorkeling, and a spot away from the tourists, you’ll want to watch our favorite beach countdown! The video just went live so make sure to click the link in our bio! And we wanna know, what’s your favorite beach you’ve ever been to? 🌴 #27travels x x x #curacao #curacaotravel #curacaotb #kleinknip #bestbeaches #bestbeachesintheworld #incuracao #curacaoisland #travelcaribbean #abcislands #travelvlog #lesbianyoutubers #travelcouple #coupletravel #coupleslovetravel #lesbiantravel #lgbtqtravelers #gaytravel #iamtb #travelgirls #speechlessplaces #beautifuldestinations #gaygirlgang #samesexcouple #travelingcouple

Steph and Kaitlin are a married couple who travel full time for work and for fun! They are two of the kindest individuals we’ve ever (virtually) met. Not only do they share their travels with us via Instagram, but they also blog about their adventures. One of our favorite things about this account are their story highlights. They put together super handy plant-based restaurant guides for a number of cities that they have visited! They also coordinate and host LGBT Meetups!



Alright, we haven’t stopped raving about Playa del Carmen, Mexico so we’ve put together a Lesbian Destination Guide! Head to the link in our bio to read our complete travel guide to Playa del Carmen 🌈 We completely fell in love with this amazing coastal town because of its beautiful beaches, lively energy, incredible food, and perfect location on Riviera Maya ☀️🌴 We’ve seriously been fantasizing about bringing Theo down here and staying awhile, or maybe even buying a condo. It’s the kind of place that just instantly made us feel at home, and we can’t wait to come back 💕 Check out our guide for information and recommendations on what to see, how to get around, the best places to eat, and more! We hope it inspires some of you to travel to this beautiful destination! Photo by 📸 @lezseetheworld #lezseetheworld

Lex & Tatiana are NYC based travelers/YouTubers who document their adventures on Instagram. We love their aesthetic and always make a point to watch their videos on their youtube channel.  We love watching their Instagram stories and especially enjoy their Sunday Aesthetic Inspo series.



Not many people can say that their hometown is world famous. Fortunately, T has grown up here her whole life but doesn’t truly know her own hometown. – We are lucky enough to have met & both have the desire to explore, even when you don’t have the means too at the moment. – We plan to explore more of Brooklyn this year and we hope we can be more of a reference for when people like yourselves reading this, can find places to go & see & eat at while traveling to Tatiana’s hometown, New Yawk🤩 – Be sure to follow our journey @gfswhotravel! – ➡️➡️swipe to see unedited version! * * * * * #gfswhotravel #yourtravelgirls #exploringbrooklyn #visitmycity #homebound #lesbiantravelgirls #lgbtqtravelers #lovegirls #travelbrooklyn #brooklyn #travelagents #livetoexplore #brooklynbridge #wearetravelgays #dumbobrooklyn #girlscouple #kissingmygirl #lgbtqsupport #lesbians #beforeandafter #thisthanthat #coupleinfluencer #womentravel #wearetravelgirls #lesbianlifestyle #starttheadventure #igersofnyc #iamatraveler
