The hypocrisy is suffocating.

I'm not a very organized traveler for sure. I'd like to sign up for some travel blogs. I only read this one now, but they don't have good filter options, so it takes a while to find something useful.

I also don't like forums, as many people don't give straight-forward answers, so it takes forever to find something that really works.

Maybe there are some good Youtube channels or personal blogs you can recommend?

Good question. I have a hard time finding good travel blogs too. And, like you, I'm not organized, so I lose track of them easily. Information & blogs are so fragmented all over the place. I wish there was a site that consolidates good travelogs.

Here are a few that I happened to bookmark:

Have you tried reading up FT's very own External Miles and Points Resources Forum, where blog-related threads reside?

Can you advice some interesting blog about Asia traveling ?

Please follow this thread as it moves to the External Miles and Points Resources Forum, where travel blogs are generally discussed.

Is there no thread for Doctor of Credit? I get it's not as travel or points focused as all the other blogs but it's still pretty relevant here, no?

I guess it depends whether the OP is looking for general travel blogs (trip reports, location information, hotels, activities, tours, etc) or those focused more on travel loyalty programs (miles/points earning and using). When I hear "travel blog" I think more of the former, but that's not to say it's the only connotation. Some travel blogs don't touch on points and miles; many points & miles blogs don't get too much into general travel; others mix it up with some of both - to varying degrees.

I've found that those travel blogs that focus on certain regions or areas often have more good info for detailed planning while those with a wider scope are great for inspiration and general ideas, but that's just me. I'm not at my regular bookmarks at the moment, but a few travel (vice points & miles) sites off the top of my head:

More "photo essay" style than narrative but I really enjoy his postings:
https://everything-everywhere.com

Part blog, part forum, part misc style - for parts of Asia:
https://www.travelfish.org

Excellent for Scotland travel:
https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/

His travel style isn't exactly the same as mine, and I didn't find any need for the booking companies included on the site, but still found this useful for Greece:
https://www.greecetravel.com

Others - general, etc:

I don't begrudge anyone for going after money. That said, I don't care to follow any of the bloggers / podcasters in which I invested time only to have them go to the vapid mindless world of TPG. Who are those bloggers?

Who else? I want to make sure they have their career resurrected without my support. TPG is 100% first grade level writing. I"m actually considering, gasp, following Lucky again.
