60 Awesome Travel Blog Post Ideas For When You’re Stuck

Are you a travel blogger having a bad case of writer’s block? Trust me, we have all been there. For a lot of bloggers who do not travel full time or who haven’t been able to travel in a while, creating content for your travel blogs can be quite difficult. But the good news is that it doesn’t have to be.

I believe there is an endless amount of topics you can come up with as a travel blogger and I will highlight just a few of them in this post. The great thing about this list is that you can use it for previous trips you’ve taken in the past and you can also apply it to multiple destinations as you get to travel more. So, if you ever feel stuck in a rut or find yourself having a case of the dreaded writer’s block, here’s a list of 60 fantastic and practical blog post ideas to get your creative juices flowing again.

Lagos Travel Blogger Starter Outing Ideas…

For the purpose of this blog post, I assume that you are a travel blogger who has already begun travelling. This guide will help even if you have not been to a lot of places. I’ve decided to use a case study of a Lagos-based travel blogger who has visited at least 10 places (including restaurants) within the city. I’ve highlighted places that are relatively easy and cheap to explore for every budget.

• Nike Art Gallery
• Lekki Conservation Centre
• National Theatre
• Lekki Arts and Crafts Market
• Balogun Market (or any market close to you)
• A mall in Lagos
• A beach location
• 3 Restaurants (RSVP, Ofada Boy, The Place)

Using the above destinations as a guide, I have come up with 60 travel blog post ideas you could possibly write about. Depending on the theme of your blog, some of them may not apply but I am sure you’ll find that most of them do. So kiss that writer’s block goodbye and start creating!

Listicles

Listicles (List articles) are probably the cheat code of the travel blogging world. They are literally the easiest types of blog posts to write and the best part is that readers love them too! Nevertheless, I’d be careful about churning them out too often. My blog’s appeal, for example, is my personal stories and listicles sometimes seem like spam.

As you might have guessed, this is by no means an exhaustive list. You can write about life changes: like moving to a new city, or an aggregation of your year in travel. You can write about recipes of food from your city or about the last fun hangout or party you attended. My point is that there are no limits and you don’t have to be on the road 247 to create travel contents for your blog. On mine, I aim for 4 posts a month, so if I write on every topic of the list, I would have content for more than 1 year!

Tell me, are you currently struggling with writer’s block or coming up with blog posts for your travel blog? Does this list help?
