Looking for travel blog names? This post has you covered.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the hardest parts about starting a travel blog is coming up with a name. If you’re here, you’ve probably decided to take the plunge and take the first steps toward becoming a travel blogger, but you’re most likely stumped trying to figure out ideas for your travel blog’s name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to freak you out or anything, but coming up with travel blog name ideas is something REALLY important. You aren’t just choosing a random name for your Tumblr account, you’re picking a name for your new business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choosing a name for your travel blog involves more than just finding a cute domain. In fact, there’s a ton of things to consider before you take the plunge and actually purchase hosting for your travel blog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I know you’re probably super excited to start writing away and make your blog the best one on the internet, but it’s really important to take a few days to make sure your travel blog name is something you love (and will love forever, because changing your blog name, in the long run, is extremely time-consuming).<\/p>\n\n\n\n But don’t be discouraged: <\/strong>There are still tons of amazing travel blog names available and I’m sure you’ll find the perfect one in no time after reading this guide. Before I even get to the part where I’ll list a few travel blog name ideas, I want you to take a moment to consider a few things about your blog and its overall identity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Words like Nomadic, Adventurous, and Around the World have already been used over and over. Moreover, they’re already taken and pretty branded by top travel bloggers (i.e Nomadic Matt or Adventurous Kate). Make sure you’re setting your travel blog up for success by making sure your name stands out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure you travel blog name is available on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest. You don’t want to purchase a domain name only to find out you now have to add a hyphen or a number at the end of your username.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s say you’re in your early twenties and want to create a blog about backpacking because, well, you’ve been backpacking for a while now and it’s something you can actually write about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What would happen, however, if in the future you want to give luxury travel a try and wind up loving it? Or what if you eventually start a family and your content is now more focused towards traveling with kids? <\/p>\n\n\n\n We never know what will happen in the future, and if you’re not 100% sure backpacking is what you want to write about for the rest of your life, then you might want to think of a more generic name for your travel blog than “Susie The Backpacker”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By opting for a more generic blog name, you’re not putting yourself in a box and you can allow your travel blog to grow along with you. If you go for a super-specific name and your priorities wind up changing, you might need to look into a complete rebrand and a change of domain, which, trust me, is an extremely painful process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take it from me<\/strong>: I used to think I’d spend the rest of my life writing about solo female,<\/a> budget & long-term travel<\/a>, but life changed and hey, now I am actually based in Mexico City and recently adopted a dog! Thanks to the fact that my blog is not named “Dani The Solo Budget Long-Term Traveler”, I can extend my content and write about what it’s like to explore Mexico with a dog without confusing my readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I think the first thing I did when I was trying to come up with a name for my travel blog was to google “cool travel words”. I was shown a humongous list of words in different languages, all of which sounded super<\/em> unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re anything like me, you probably did the same thing BUT – avoid it at all costs. Some travel-related words like Livsnjutare<\/em> or Strikhedonia<\/em> might sound romantic, but 1) they’re hard to spell and 2) they’re almost impossible to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You want your readers to come back for more, and they won’t be able to do it if they can’t actually remember how to find you. As a rule, make sure your name is simple and memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some website names might look good on paper, but when you put the words together into a .com domain? Not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s look at Dickson Web as an example. It’s a pretty good name for a website, but when turned into a URL, it’s suddenly dicks<\/em>onweb.com or Speed Of Art, which would suddenly become speedo<\/em>fart.com, eek! Here’s a list of pretty embarrassing domains<\/a> in case you want to get a laugh!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Avoid using hyphens and weird characters. Imagine telling someone to check your travel blog out and telling them to \u201cit\u2019s no hyphen hurry hyphen to hyphen get hyphen home dot com\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is so important! Make sure your blog name is ACTUALLY available and not taken by somebody else already. This is probably the hardest step when coming up with travel blog name ideas because it can be quite disheartening when you finally figure out a name you love only to find out it’s already being used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Still, though, once you come up with the perfect blog name and find that it’s available… you’ll be squealing with joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After all, I own a travel blog and have definitely been where you are right now. It took me several weeks to come up with my blog’s name, I’m definitely happy I didn’t rush things because I absolutely LOVE it (even three years after launching my blog).<\/p>\n\n\n\nAbout this guide to finding travel blog name ideas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
