Women Travel Bloggers to Follow This Women’s History Month

By Nicole Brewer

Greetings globetrotters and Happy International Women’s Month! March has been flying by quickly and as the saying goes, time flies when you’re having fun. This past weekend I was honored to attend an incredible event in Muscat, Oman hosted by the Serenity Clinic. It is one of the first mental health wellness clinics in the country and my dear friend Thuba was one of the phenomenal speakers, touching upon Women in War. I met incredible women from around the globe at this event and it made me think about all the incredible women travel bloggers and influencers who constantly inspire me to trot the globe. Check out this list of travel influencers that if you aren’t following yet, you should!

  1. Oneika Raymond  

Oneika Raymond, i.e. Oneika the Traveller has been trotting the globe as a travel blogger and content creator for years now. She is a friend in my head for sure. One of these days we are bound to meet somewhere around the globe. She is a top media personality, journalist, and host of two Travel Channel web series: “Big City, Little Budget”, and “One Bag and You’re Out”. She too started out as an educator abroad in Hong Kong, one of my dream expat destinations for the future and has inspired me greatly to get into travel blogging. With over 100 countries under her belt, Oneika the Traveller is a force to be reckoned with in the travel sphere.

2.  Gloria Atanmo

Glo of The Blog Abroad is an incredible woman making her mark in the travel game! I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Gloria at a TBEX event a few years ago in Thailand and from that time on, I knew she’d gain global recognition. Never being one afraid to speak her voice and tell her truth, Gloria has gone on to inspire people to travel the world with her witty humor, incredible photographs and through partnerships such as being a brand ambassador with GoPro.
