Below is a list of 121 travel bloggers (along with their twitter accounts) who have inspired us, helped us, made us laugh, taught us something knew, or made us look at a city, place or destination in a whole new way.
As we travel across Africa (www.borderjumpers.org), it can be quite isolating. These bloggers connect us back to the world and the amazing community of brave people discovering news places and experiences.
