Most Popular TWTS Blog Posts of 2024

One of the most joyful parts of my job as a travel blogger is observing what you enjoy reading the most and which blog posts are the most helpful.

Now, I’ve decided I’m going to share this with you every year for two reasons:

You, as a reader, decided to read my blog posts, which I’m very grateful for, and I want to let you know which blog posts are the most read and most helpful.
It might inspire your future trips and see what others are planning.

To be honest, looking at last year’s numbers is quite sad. And that’s the case for every blogger out there, not just for travel bloggers. The reason is the rise of AI stealing content from travel bloggers and showing you just a snippet of gathered information (often wrong information, sadly, since AI is taking it from several sources, even very old ones that are not kept up to date).

But I love blogging, and I will continue as long as I see it’s helpful for you.

Please know I’m eternally grateful whenever you visit our blog. It shows me what you like so I can create more of that, and you reading our blog directly supports our little family business.

To you, my amazing reader, these are the 10 most popular blog posts from 2024.
