For the authentic traveller - Global Grasshopper

If you prefer to travel to places a little out of the ordinary then this is the blog for you. You won’t find any all-inclusive hotspots in Benidorm or a guide to boozy Malia festivities on this site - instead the team of dedicated writers prefer to educate their readers on the gorgeous villages of India, the picturesque beaches of Borneo and the beautiful wildlife that bury themselves in the Galapagos Islands.

Headed up by Becky and Gary - a married duo who oversee their squad of self confessed 'travel snobs’ Global Grasshopper aim to uncover the overlooked locations of the world. They're not shy when it comes to transatlantic activities and have written posts on everything from volcano boarding in Chile to canyoning in Nicaragua.

They snap lots of pictures along the way - if the weary December rain is getting you down - have a flick through their Instagram page (@globalgrasshopr) on your morning commute for a feed of glossy mountains, beautiful beaches and adorable monkeys.

For the dead trendy traveller - 12 Hrs

If the you love the idea of traveling but the thought of hiking through over-crowded streets in a pair of mountain boots with a rug sack dangling from your back causes your to perspire - head to 12hrs.net. Anna and Søren are the fashion-forward pair behind this glamorous guide to uncharted boutiques, restaurants and art galleries.

The duo condense a week's worth of travel into a mere 12-hour extravaganza and take tons of beautiful photographs along the way. The girls showcase their travel experiences through easy to follow guides and heaps of scenic snaps to browse through for easy reading. Wether you want to cosy up with a coffee in Helsinki or check into a bargain boutique hotel in Barcelona - this site will help you squeeze in seven days worth of discovery into a single day.

For the foodie traveller - Eating Asia

For those who prefer to unwind by cooking a slap-up soup rather than binge watching Friends for the 56th time after work - have a gander at Eating Asia.

Foodie duo David Hagerman and Robyn Eckhardt are the go-to guys for the best Asian cuisine and have created a blog showcasing their delicious recipes and travel experiences. The couple dedicate their time to exploring the continent and hunting down the best techniques and ingredients for authentic oriental dishes.But be warned, all of their cooking isn’t for the faint hearted - one of their recent masterpieces is a guide to making a deconstructed sheep’s head with the traditional dusting of dried wild thyme. But if your pallette isn't quite up to that - the boys also detail how to rustle up an abundance of stews, noodles, soups and dumplings.

For the solo traveller - Anna Everywhere

If you’re toying with the idea of going traveling but all your friends are too busy enjoying their jobs, studies and partners to wave goodbye to the UK and head to Heathrow - why not go on your own?Anna is the Polish-born blogger who left home 9 years ago and has been exploring the world ever since. Rather than briefly traveling through different countries - Anna prefers to reside in different places and live where she's exploring for a while. She has taken up residency in Mexico City, Cape Town, Amsterdam, Boston, London, Los Angeles, Mendoza and San Diego and continues to travel the continents on her own - all while blogging her useful travel tips along the way.

She dishes out helpful pearls of wisdom such as how she affords to travel, the best travel gadgets she's come across for women and how to travel with a chronic disease.
