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.

Travel Writers Who Give Good Twitter (In No Particular Order. Really.)

The BootsnAll writers who are on Twitter are:

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:

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!

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.

Hi, I enjoyed your list. I’m just beginning to get into blogging. I have several travel guidebooks out there (NYC) and write for many publications like the NY Daily News (had a feature in yesterday, Sunday, about Gettysburg.) I also have many articles on travelmuse.com, a cool site. And I write bridal stuff, too. Thanks. I’m on twitter (laurieheater). All best.
