With all the accounts on Twitter you have to be pretty good to catch someones attention.
With only 140 characters, you need to send out a message that will inspire, invoke curiosity, play on emotion or just plan be interesting enough for someone to want to know more information.
With information coming at you from all different directions it’s easy to get bombarded. All of the people listed below I follow in some way. I either follow directly or I have them sorted into a Twitter List so I can open the list and get the info I want.
From breaking travel news, travel deals, great travel articles, awesome photography, humor and social responsibility, I get something of value from each and every one of the people listed here.
There are others that give great info, so if you or someone you know is not on this list don’t get too upset. These however should be on everyone’s list.
If you dream of traveling the world, love to get travel deals, look for inspiration or just want to read great travel info this list is for you.

Hey Mike, glad you stopped by.
Lol, MrScottEddy & Surf and Sunshine didn’t make the list.
There were a lot that didn’t make the list that I personally follow. I could have listed a couple of hundred more. The list wasn’t based on their twitter follower count or any other metric than to bring awareness to some outstanding travel accounts that people may not be aware of.
Thanks for a great list!
Great list Bob and thanks for sharing. I’m familiar with a lot of them, but also many new ones to follow.
I have followed the some of the accounts which are mentioned above, I am agreed with you that these all travel bloggers are amazing. I am regularly reading their blogs and share their posts.
Thank you Bob for this list – many of those mentioned are truly great sources of inspiration!
