After Reviewing Thousands of Travel Bloggers, Here Are the 35 Most Travelled!

At HomeToGo, we are inspired by travel bloggers. Often giving up their regular nine to fives in favor of extraordinary adventure, many of these world travelers make a living out of helping others discover new destinations around the globe.

With an estimated 1.2 million travel blogs online, we came across thousands of inspirational bloggers during our search. From those, we selected the 35 most traveled, who provided us with their full itineraries for 2017. Using this information, we were able to calculate their mileage for the year (many traveled more than a pop star on tour!) and to produce the Most Travelled Bloggers of 2017.

Methodology

After looking through thousands of travel blogs, we created a final shortlist made up of 35 of the most traveled bloggers of 2017. We reached out to each blogger, asking for their full travel itinerary for 2017. After they provided us with their itineraries, we used a leading online mapping tool to calculate their mileage for the year. We included any travel that happened after January 1st, 2017, as well as their future travel plans up until December 31st, 2017.

For Ed Sheeran’s mileage, we calculated the distance between each concert that he performed in 2017. We took into account tour dates that were canceled.
