15 examples of Squarespace travel blogs and websites
There is a commonly held belief that Squarespace isn’t good for blogging. These beautiful travel blogs prove that idea wrong.
If you’re looking for inspiration and want to see examples of Squarespace travel blogs, check out this list. These are blogs I have stumbled across at one point or another — it’s by no means an exhaustive list.
These Squarespace blogs do prove you can build a successful website on this platform. What I like about all of these is the variety of ways the blogs are monetised, from membership sections, to custom itinerary planning, to selling travel guides.
1. Along Dusty Roads
Not long ago, I went on a hike with a new friend I met in a coliving space in Tenerife.
On the drive to the trailhead, we discovered we both run our own travel sites. Getting deep into industry chat, we started discussing our favourite travel blogs — and almost immediately we both brought up Along Dusty Roads.
These guys set the bar in terms of photography, site design, and the depth of their content.
Such a great example of a travel blog doing what a travel blog should do; providing genuine travel advice and inspiration.
2. The Common Wanderer
The incredible photography and sleek design of The Common Wanderer travel blog make it one of my favourites on the internet.
3. Petrina Darrah — A New Zealand travel blog
Beautiful design has been a big focus of my travel blog (yes, I’m nominating myself).
Design doesn’t necessarily help search performance, but it definitely enhances the experience of anyone who visits my site. I regularly get feedback from readers that they enjoy how visually appealing my website is.
My aim with my travel blog is to build a long term business I’m proud of, so having a beautiful blog design is part of establishing a strong brand for myself.
4. Wander Somewhere
Wander Somewhere is a travel blog by Lesley, a freelance writer from Scotland.
Her photography is lush, and her focus on Scotland makes her stand out as a local expert. I love the way she has incorporated different paid products into the blog, such as detailed itineraries for different places in Scotland.
5. Blake Erik
Blake Erik’s travel blog is visually spectacular — he describes himself as an Artist, Photographer, and Writer and all three sets of skills are on display on this site.
“Sometimes there just isn’t enough space on the ‘gram for the amount of visual content I capture and curate, and with this site I hope to contextualise these experiences and photographs, and actually tell stories with them. ”
6. Art Distance
Art Distance is a stunning travel blog by Hannah, an art historian and travel blogger based in London.
I love the thoughtful, careful design of her travel blog, which makes it clear that she really does know her way around art.
7. Wander in RAW
Eva is an adventure photographer and writer, and her travel blog covers hiking, surfing, snowboarding, climbing, kayaking, sailing, and more. A woman after my own heart.
8. Laura the Explorer
Laura the Explorer is a global travel blog that features detailed itineraries and beautiful photography.
I really enjoy Laura’s creative use of features like image shapes to create visual interest in her blog posts.
9. Sarowly
10. El Camino Travel
Krissy’s Squarespace blog is a space for sharing her travels, van life tips, and other lifestyle content. I love her earthy colour paletter and flowy style.
