Lost with Purpose - one of the best female travel bloggers specializing in offbeat travels

Langar to Murghab | Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan

So you want to visit Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan. As a tourist. How many big NOs are you already getting? Now you want to visit these places as a solo traveler. Hmm, now have your family members locked up you? Well, here is a woman who did it all as a solo female traveler. As unbelievable and dangerous as it sounds, Alex is known for visiting places off the beaten track.

You wouldn't find her soaking up a sunrise view at the treehouse in Bali clicking a #balisunrise picture. Instead, you would find her struggling her way through jampacked buses, hitchhiking on the world's most dangerous roads (read her story of hitchhiking the Manali Leh Highway), or going on road trips around Saudi Arabia. What you'd love about her is how the stories are so raw and real. Plus her storytelling is just top-notch.

Oneika the Traveler

You must have felt that not a lot of travel bloggers talk about the real sides of travel. Especially with social media trying to promote destinations in their best-photoshopped versions, a lot gets lost in cultural faux pas and political borders.

She has traveled to almost 120 countries now across 6 continents and doesn't shy away from talking about politics, or racism.

Legal Nomads - one of the best travel bloggers
