When I started travel blogging in 2006, there were only a handful of travel blogs locally, and it’s mostly run by men. The travel blogging landscape has changed over the years and women are now traveling as much and as far as the guys. Here are some of my favorite Filipina travel bloggers:
Pinay Travel Junkie
Gay started traveling when she was single, continued traveling when she got married, and now, she’s on her way to being the perfect nomadic momma.
Pinay Solo Backpacker
Who’s afraid of getting lost? Gael isn’t definitely one of them! While some travelers fear losing their way, this fearless female traveler boldly goes where no one dares.
Trip@dora
With an unquenchable thirst for adventure, Izah looks forward to each trip with gusto. whether she travel for work or for herself, she tackles each with the same enthusiasm and fervor.
Sole Sisters
Who said backpacking means dressing down and looking like an unwashed slob? Sole sisters Chichi and Lois are off to break stereotypes, traveling around Southeast Asia for five months with only the stylish clothes and accessories in their backpacks.
Lakwatsera de Primera
Claire can’t seem to keep still. One moment she’s in Australia, the next she’s in some far flung province in the Philippines. A very diligent travel blogger, she shares her adventures with a regularity lazy bloggers (me) can only dream of.
Monette of Flip’n travels
The double X chromosome of Flip’n Travels, Monette is another chicha travel who’s mighty talented with the pen. Their collaboration work on the Hello Stranger series is a must read.
First Time Travels
Don’t let the name fool you; Claire is a seasoned traveler who’s been to various places around the Philippines and the world. And she does it in between her hectic work for an NGO.
No Spam, No Virus, No Kiddin’!
Though it’s actually a personal blog, Chyng travels too much that it’s starting to evolve into a travel blog. Onting pilit nalang. She takes each trip as a challenge to experience something new. She has gone spelunking in Sagada, hiking in Batad, SCUBA diving in Bohol and wake boarding in Camarines Sur. What’s next, Chyng?

Fly and Get Lost
Technically not a traveler YET, Karen is itching to get on the road and on board the hopelessly-addicted-to-travel wagon. Right now, she’s planning her Southeast Asian adventure, which will mark her first time to travel overseas. All the best to you Karen, and I hope to travel with you someday
















Ehh, kinilig naman ako dun! Haha! We’ll travel soon, Ms Nina. Halos isang buwan nalang.
Malapit na nga! Are congratulations in order?

Salamat!
This is nice
I love reading them, including you.
Natuwa naman ako dun. Thank Nel!
Thanks so much Nina for including me here! Yes, it’s getting more hectic here in my NGO world but I’m taking a breather soon. I definitely look forward to my next travel and I look forward to reading more travel stories from you, too!
Looking forward to reading your adventures AND participating in your NGO’s projects too!

Dahil walang budget to travel I will let my blog do the travelling for me via language na lang. I’ll be here every now and then!
Di kailangan ng malaking budget to travel

Naku, yon? Walang kwenta yun
Thanks for the mention Nina! We love that you featured us even though we’re really new in the travel blogosphere!
You may be new, but you’re really making waves in the travel blogging scene!

Mabuhay ang lahat ng kick-ass Pinay travel bloggers!
this list comprise the true PRIDE of PINOY TRAVEL BLOGGERS! Kudos everyone!
Go PTB!
Nice post Nina. Ang laki na pala ng pinagbago since 2006. Kapag nagyayaya ako sa lahat ng kaibigan ko, laging masmaraming babae ang sumasama kaysa lalaki. And to what I observed, masmarami akong nameet na babaeng travellers.
Girl power ito!
definitely are among the country’s best female travel bloggers. had the chance to travel with two (Chyng and Ga-el – ang saya kasama) in the list and looking forward to meet the rest.
Next time try mo kasama si Dyanie. Maloloka ka hahahaha
Binebenta mo ko haha! Actually nakasama ko na si Dom sa Pinatubo. Yiz, naloka sya. At after nun eh ayaw nya na ko kasama hahahaha
found this site through her & again found reinforcement why travelling (local or global) makes sense. kudos girl!
Favorite ko din si Chyng!
Girl Power!!!
Hello!
Our names are Kelly Bennett and Wei Jia. We are two friends from opposite sides of the world and together we founded a new female travel site called Girls Go Travel. Our goal is to inspire girls to find their passion for life by providing resources, guides and creating opportunities for girls to travel internationally. We feature interviews with female travelers, travel adventures, and sexy travel talk. We would like to invite you to a Q & A via email to be posted on the website. It would be a great honor to have you apart of our project. Please let me know if you are interested!

It’s nice to know that women are making a mark in the society and exploring different places here in the Philippines and other countries. Continue spreading your wings and explore the wonders of nature. I’m looking forward to reading your blogs. Keep up the good work girl.
