I always like to look back and see which of my blog posts were most popular at the end of each year. There are several different ways I can see what my followers are loving the most. I admit I am not very good at following my blog analytics religiously like most bloggers…so it’s always like a little gift when I go and see what you all loved and were most interested in. Today let me share with you what my Top Travel Blog Posts of 2024 were.
The Stans
Well not surprisingly you really loved all my posts about the Stans. But I was surprised that these entries ranked near the top for the entire year. Turkmenistan Ashgabat & Beyond, Unbelievable Uzbekistan, Tiny Tajikistan, Incredible Kazakhstan and Wild & Wonderful Kyrgyzstan all peaked your interest – ranking very high for 2024. Click on the links if you want to read these again or for the very first time.
Europe
My readers also enjoyed the three posts I wrote about the Caucasus region; Yerevan Armenia, Tbilisi Georgia and your most favorite of these Baku Azerbaijan . This is a fascinating area in eastern Europe and I hope my experiences opened your eyes to a wonderful collection of destinations.
Additionally three more posts from the Travel Europe category ranked very high this past year; One Day in Bratislava Slovakia, Athens for First Timers and Two Days in Bologna Italy – my most read blog post for 2024. All three cities were surprising to us and places I would surely return to.

Australia
We love Australia and are heading back for our third visit soon, and one of our favorite places was the sweet town of Hobart on the Tasmania island. You all enjoyed reading about that too, Hobart Tasmania The Most Surprising Town in Australia. I would go back to Hobart for an another visit, and would stay even longer.
Pacific Northwest
Our summer in the Pacific Northwest usually provides me wonderful material for blog posts, and this year you really loved Tracking Trolls in the Pacific Northwest – this post was so popular! If you haven’t seen the trolls yet…check out the link.
My Fab Fifties Life
There you have it, the Top Travel Blog Posts of 2024. My blog has taken on a life of its own over the years, thanks to all the loyal readers. I’m glad our travel life (and book reviews too) give you entertainment, inspiration and educate you about this big beautiful world. I hope you will continue to follow us. Coming up next week our itinerary for our next adventures and don’t miss our Annual Travel Awards blog that will drop January 24th.
