Are you tired of travel bloggers who are constantly sharing “too good to be true” photos from popular tourist attractions, and prefer the ones who are exploring nature instead? Joelle Friend’s travel blog will awaken your adventurous spirit and help you discover some of the most breathtaking natural wonders around the world.
Friend discovered her adventurous side when she took her first backpacking trip a decade ago. She was just 19 at the time, and this adventure made her realize that hiking gear doesn’t come cheap. Friend worked as a nanny over the summer and spent her whole paycheck on hiking gear before deciding to turn to travel blogging.
“She is passionate about sharing the real and raw of her adventures, encouraging her followers to live their life to the fullest. Joelle has a knack for connecting with her audience in a meaningful and long-lasting way,” writes Friend on her blog.
Unlike most travel bloggers, you won’t see Friend wearing dreamy dresses around Paris and Rome. She’s more interested in nature-based travel attractions, exploring national parks across the US, Australia, and everywhere in between. She’s currently based in Seattle, Washington, but she’s always in the mood to embark on a new adventure in the great outdoors and share her experience with over 200,000 Instagram followers.
