Last week, I wrote about some of our favorite travel companies on Twitter - and while I love seeing companies in any industry embracing Twitter, I think most of the great travel Twitter conversations are happening between the travel writers themselves.
Whether these people write for their own blog, a group-maintained blog, or someone else’s website, I’m putting all of these accounts under the heading of “travel writers who Twitter” - because in my mind, if you write and you’re writing about travel, then you’re a travel writer. (I know some people will take issue with that, but them’s the breaks. It’s my list. Get your own.)
The list of travel writers I follow is extensive, and they use Twitter to varying degrees, but these are some of my favorite accounts - the ones I look forward to checking every day. It’s not always about travel, but it’s almost always entertaining.

Thanks a ton!
World Hum’s Flyover America writers (along with lots of other travel pieces for magazines) are out there, too. We’re @JennaSchnuer and @SophiaDembling. Thanks for considering us for the list.

she really writes some very interesting articles ,and is not your typical travel writer, but chooses very cool and usual subjects to write about
thanks
Hey, I’d love to be included. I recently joined Twitter for both my website http://www.wired2theworld.com (where I write about travel and food) and my blog http://www.wired2theworld.blogspot.com (where I focus on food, and some travel).
I’m @wired2theworld on Twitter.
Hi Jessica,
Thanks for including me on your Twitter list.
What did we do BT (Before Twitter)?
Hey great list! I blog about Canada travel at thesebootstravel.wordpress.com and am on twitter at /julieoc and my Ottawa-based colleague Laura Paquet has a great blog about how to travel like a local at facingthestreet.blogspot.com and she’s on twitter at /facingthestreet
thanks for the round-up!
Thank you so much for this list! You just gave me quite a few new people to follow. I aspire to join this group some day. For now, I’d like to recommend Christine Gilbert of almostfearless.com. She’s terrific!
Hey man! I know I haven’t submitted for a while, but I just posted a story on climbing Chachani in Peru. Working on my Canyon del Colca video and story now. Heading to Alaska to give my Kilimanjaro slideshow at the REI in Anchorage then it’s up to the White Mountains north of Fairbanks for a 100 mile backcountry ski trip. Stay tuned to offyonder.com - follow on twitter @offyonder ! Keep traveling everybody!
Thanks so much for the twitter shout out. Er, um, peep out. Peep up!? Ah, anyway, thanks for following me
I will have to check out the ones here that I don‘t follow already, whch are only a few I am happy to report.
Thanks for the shout-out! And for the list - I follow most of these, but picked up a couple new accounts, too.
Awesome list. Would you please add @travelojos. The Twitter feed and blog focuses on travel in Latin America.
What about @collazoprojects? One of the best travel tweeters around.
Thanks for the great list!
For those who are interested in lesbian travel, I hope you’ll find my updates helpful. Lots of lesbian travel tips from around the world @girlports
Great list, but you should check out @jcreaturetravel. She knows a lot about food, architecture, adventure travel…you name it! She has helped me out a bunch of times. Also, she has a cool blog at http://www.jthetravelauthority.com.
I realized that in my last post I forgot i to mention @jcreaturetravel — she’s the one I’ve been following who has the blog: http://www.jthetravelauthority.com
Laughing so hard that Mudslide Mama has no name! She’s the FABULOUS Jen Miner. And don‘t forget @karasw (Mountain Mama aka Kara Williams) and @DesertMama (aka Beth Blair). Thanks so much!
That is a great list of travel writers on twitter, every last one.
Definitely check out my healthy travel site, show and blog, The Healthy Voyager!!

Can I do some shameless self-promotion? I’m @WildJunket. I’m a regular at Bootsnall, love your articles and love writing for you. See u guys on Twitter!
What a great list!
Thanks so much for including our family, @soultravelers3! We have been using it for over a year and love how the travel community has grown on Twitter in the last few months.
We love Twitter and how useful it has been on our open ended world tour and wrote about it in a post that might be helpful to some who want to use it with travel:
http://www.soultravelers3.com/2009/02/twitter-travel-20.html
We are also thrilled that we just won 2 Lonely Planet Awards including Best Microblog for our Twitter account!
We love how much you, Jessica and the Bootsnall gang add to the conversation! Thanks!
Great list! Here’s another one: @hobonora
Thanks for this list of travel writers than can be found on Twitter. It’s always great to connect with other travel writers.
Thanks for including me (@niltiac) on the list - I think I follow most of these people already!
I am a freelance writer with my first BootsnAll article published last week (http://www.bootsnall.com/articles/09-04/solo-travel-pros-and-cons.html). Though I don‘t have the extensive travel writing resumes some of these other tweeps have (yet), I am always interested in meeting fellow writers and travel lovers.
You can follow me @joanna_haugen
Kind of late finding this, but great list - some I was missing. I’d like to suggest a couple of green travel tweeps who are consistently interesting: @travelinggreen and @etravelproject. Also love @kylewagnerworld (travel editor of The Denver Post). Thanks!

One of the things that tends to happen when I talk to people about my job at BootsnAll is the, "Oh, you're so lucky!" moment. I do consider myself extremely fortunate to be able to write about travel every day - to do something I love so much that work doesn't feel …

Those of you who read the BootBlog may remember my recent musings on how online friends become real-life friends. What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]

Awhile back I posted here about getting into the Boston Globe Travel Show for free. Turns out that was for the trade conference during the day on Friday Feb 19th, not the travel show for regular consumers like you and me that runs from the evening of Friday, February 19 to …
