They are a fascinating and inspiring glimpse into what it takes to make money as a travel blogger. I noticed that it can be hard to find a travel blog income report out there, so I created this post to round up some of the best travel blog income reports that will inspire you in your
travel blogging business! These travel bloggers earn anywhere from $200 a month to over $200,000 a month from their blogs! They all make money in different ways: Ads, affiliate products, working with brands on sponsored content, freelancing, selling their own products, and more! I read a ton of income reports before I started a travel blog and they really
inspired me and gave me a lot of insight into the many ways you can monetize a travel blog. Update: You can read my 2020 travel blog income report to see my own earnings!

Sign up for my FREE five-day email challenge below to get your blog up and running in five days: These income reports provide just a glimpse into how much money you can make as a travel blogger. Keep in mind that many of the most successful travel bloggers do not publish monthly income reports, or even share their income publicly at all. There are plenty of successful travel bloggers earning six figures a year but they are just not publicizing their income. You can find 30+ more travel blog income reports in
this post from Two Monkeys Travel Group. Without further ado, here is the travel blog income report roundup from 25+ bloggers: Allison at She Dreams of
Alpine writes about hiking and other outdoor adventures on her blog. She has one of the most unique monetization models on this list because she uses Patreon to earn more than half of her travel blog income. Patreon allows you to support online creators through monthly contributions. In return, the creator provides you with exclusive content or rewards based on how much you pledge each month. In addition to Patreon, Allison earns money from the Amazon affiliate
program by recommending her favorite hiking and outdoor gear. She also earns a small amount of money from ads. Dayna and Jake at Happily Ever Travelsare a married couple who have been traveling the world together on a budget ever since they graduated from college! While they originally started out teaching English online, they now earn
some extra income from travel blogging as well. In this month, they earned money from ads and affiliate marketing on their blog. Mar from Once in a Lifetime Journey lives in Singapore so her travel blog income reports are in Singapore dollars. I converted her earnings into USD for the
purpose of this post. A former management consultant, Mar quit her high-paying job to open a cafe. She also started her blog Once in a Lifetime Journey, which is now her full-time job. In this income report, Mar made the majority of her income from selling a travel photo to a publication. She also earned a chunk of change from ads and hotel affiliates. The Atlas Heart: $948Native Californian Mimi is the blogger behind The Atlas Heart, where she shares the best things to do in California and other destinations all around the world. She has traveled to 37 countries, and lived abroad in four foreign cities and two islands. In this month’s income report, she earned money from advertising, affiliate marketing, and product sales from her ebook about California road trips. Johnny Africa: ~$1,002In case you can’t guess by the name, Johnny Africa is a travel blog run by Johnny, an American-Canadian expat who first lived in South Africa, but now lives in Germany. His blog chronicles his travels in 50+ countries around the world. He published a yearly income report, which is where the monthly figure above has been extrapolated from. In one year, he earned about half his income from ads, with the rest made up from affiliate sales, sponsorships, and travel planning (he helps couples plan honeymoons in South Africa.) Sunshine Seeker: $1,123Charlotte from Sunshine Seeker is a Norwegian travel blogger who overcame her fear of flying and got out of her comfort zone so she could travel the world. She earned money from her blog mainly through affiliate marketing, with some freelance writing, ad revenue, and some sponsored posts thrown in the mix too. World Travel Family: ~$1,555Traveling with kids full-time might seem impossible, but Alyson at World Travel Family has been doing it with her husband and kids for the last nine years! This income report is for the whole year (so I took an average of the annual income and came to the figure above) and only includes Mediavine ad income. However, they disclose that they earn about the same amount from other sources, including various affiliate programs. The Sweetest Way: $1,933Leah from The Sweetest Way writes about travel and location independence. She has the freedom to work from anywhere in the world and inspires others to do the same.

Ashley Abroad: $2,122Ashley has had plenty of travel adventures, from living in France as an au pair to working for a startup in Uganda, and she has chronicled it all on her blog Ashley Abroad. In this particular month, she made almost exactly half her money from advertising and half from affiliates (mainly the Amazon affiliate program.) She also earned a small amount from her ebook about how to become an au pair. Wanderlust Storytellers: $2,158Traveling the world with your kids is something that many parents dream of. Andrzej and Jolene from Wanderlust Storytellers made that dream a reality. In June 2015, they made a decision that changed their life when they gave up their jobs and decided to become full-time travel bloggers. Now, they travel the world with their three daughters and write about their adventures on their blog. They made almost all of their money in this income report through sponsored work with brands. They also made a very small amount from travel affiliates and their own product. Eternal Expat: $2,501One great way to make money as a travel blogger is by offering freelance services. Laura at Eternal Expat is the perfect example of how this can be done. Laura has made a life for herself as a digital nomad. After traveling and working around the world for over five years, she is now based in Mexico City. She earns a small amount of money from her blog through ads and affiliate marketing, but the bulk of her income comes from working as a freelance writer and copywriter. Her blog serves as a great portfolio of her work. Ali’s Adventures: $2,869Ali from Ali’s Adventures had a regular life working a typical 9-to-5 job in aviation insurance, until she met her husband on Twitter and decided to move across the world to be with him!

The Wherever Writer: $3,575Amy from The Wherever Writer is another freelancer who quit her desk job at 22 and flew to South America to start her own location-independent business. She now works as a freelance writer and marketing consultant. Her travel blog income report, however, does not include the money she makes from freelancing. She only counts the money that she earned directly from her blog, which includes a mix of ads, affiliate programs, and sales of her own ebooks. Getaway Couple: $4,114Have you ever dreamed of traveling the country in an RV? Rae and Jason from Getaway Couple have made that dream a reality! After working hard to “keep up with the Joneses” they still felt like something was missing. So they paid off their debt, bought an RV, and hit the road! In this month’s income report, they earned money from brand sponsorships, YouTube ads, affiliates, and selling their own products (organizational printables for RV owners.) The Professional Hobo: ~$4,243Nora from The Professional Hobo lives up to her blog name: she has been traveling the world full-time for over twelve years and writing about all her adventures along the way. She shares annual breakdowns of her income, so the figure above is a monthly average. The main way she earns money from her travel blog is affiliate marketing, which makes up about half her income. The next largest amounts come from advertising and sponsored posts. Finally, she earned money from freelance writing, book sales, and travel coaching. Where’s Sharon: $6,558Where’s Sharon is a family travel blog run by, you guessed it, Sharon! In addition to her travel blog about how to travel with kids, she runs several other niche sites, but the income listed above is from the travel blog only. In this month, she earned money almost entirely from affiliates (mainly Amazon and hotel bookings) and a small amount from ads as well. Living the Dream RTW: $6,929Angie and Jeremy are another traveling couple and the bloggers behind Living the Dream RTW. They do income reports a little differently in that they simply update one post over and over instead of writing a new post each month. So the number above is reflective of their most recent income report at the time of writing this post. These two count the earnings from both of their blogs in their income reports. They have Living the Dream RTW, a world travel blog, along with Discover the Burgh, a local Pittsburgh blog. The main way they earn money is from ads, which make up more than half of their income. They also earn a big chunk of money from affiliates. Finally, they earned money this month from selling their photography, a speaking gig, and working with brands on sponsored content.

A Dangerous Business: $10,809Amanda from A Dangerous Business is a former travel journalist and full-time travel blogger living in Ohio. Unlike other bloggers, she didn’t quit her day job to travel the world.

The main way Amanda makes money on her blog is through ads and affiliate marketing.

Adventure in You: $19,233Tom and Anna have been traveling the world together for over four years and writing about it on their blog Adventure in You.

Save it to Pinterest: How does a travel blogger make money?Most of the time, travel bloggers end up making money by creating sponsored content and getting paid to go on trips. That's cool if that is something you want to do, but that is time-consuming and requires you to be constantly working (and it's soul-sucking). You never have time to relax or do something for yourself.
Is starting a travel blog worth it?“Starting a travel blog is an incredible source of professional and personal development. Blogging is made up of so many skills from creative, like writing and photography, to strategic, like analyzing data to grow your traffic, and people-skills as you build a community and develop business partners.
Do travel blogs really make money?After all, that's the question I'm asked most frequently when I say that I'm a travel blogger: “but do you actually earn money doing that?” And yes, it's awkward EVERY time. But happily, my answer is YES.
Who is the highest paid blogger?At the turn of the year 2021, these ten names ranked among the highest-earning bloggers in the world:. Tim Sykes, timothysykes.com: $1 million per month.. Chiara Ferragni, The Blonde Salad: $250,000 per month.. Melyssa Griffin, melyssagriffin.com: $238,000 per month.. Sarah Titus, sarahtitus.com: $200,000 per month.. |
