Travel With Pinterest
Whether you’re compiling your own personal “1,000 Places to See Before You Die,” planning your summer vacation, or just collecting gorgeous images for your desktop screensaver, Pinterest’s many travel boards offer ample material. If you just love drooling over white sand beaches, iconic landmarks, and picturesque cityscapes, there’s more than enough inspiration for a thousand daydream vacations. You’ll also find useful tips to make your trips more enjoyable and insider information to visit like a local, making Pinterest a great resource for planning a real-life getaway. With so many amazing destinations to discover, the hardest part will be narrowing it down to the places you want on your travel “bucket list.”
Travel Channel

It’s no surprise that the people who compile content for a channel dedicated to travel have a pretty amazing collection of places, cultures, foods and natural wonders to explore around the world. It’s tough not to get lost in the undeniably gorgeous images which link back to their primary site, www.travelchannel.com for more information about the destination. Whether you’re drawn in by the idea of hanging in a hammock by the ocean, looking to explore your inner champion with skiing, golfing, or fitness boot camps, or planning a family vacation on a budget, you’ll find links to helpful articles and the Travel Channels many “best of” lists. The “Travel Bucket List” board is full of fodder for your own must-see file, while the “Daily Escapes” board offers a different awe-inspiring image for (you guessed it) just about every day of the week. There are also boards devoted to behind-the-scenes peeks at their most popular shows, including “Destination Summer,” “Man v. Food,” “Off Limits,” and many more. Whether you’re looking for amazing hotels or the ultimate romantic locales, you’ll find it here.
Travel Hyper

Created by down-to-earth travel blogger Julie, Travel Hyper explores ultimate vacation destinations, to be sure, but with a more down to earth approach that allows you to translate your dreams into real trips. There are boards organized by place, from Australia to Bulgaria to Spain and just about everywhere in between; boards devoted to Disney, “Vacation Reads”, maps, and much more. Travel vicariously with her “2012 Vacation” board, tracking her route through Western Europe, or escape for a one-of-a-kind experience with inspiration from “2012 Events.” There are boards to help you plan your trip, from budgeting to keeping the kids copacetic on a plane, tips for packing or capturing your memories with “Travel Photo Tips”. If you plan your trip around where you’ll stay as much as what you’ll see, explore “Amazing Hotels,” “Castles,” and “B&B Love.” It’s hard to balance awesome escapes with a sense of achievability – Travel Hyper makes you believe you could one day make it to that beach in Jamaica, not just fantasize about it.

While I may wistfully imagine a relaxing beach vacation, toes in the water and margarita in hand, my reality is planning travel around nap schedules and kid-friendly entertainment. For that, I love Thrifty Travel Mama. From the gear that will get you where you’re going with the least amount of “are we there yet?” headaches, to ideas for making memories when you get there, there are solutions to any of the hurdles standing in the way of you taking your kiddos on that amazing getaway.
Conde Nast Traveler

One of the most well-known travel magazines has created one of the most massive Pinterest pages dedicated to all things travel, with 2,500 pins of inspiring images, tips and links to their picks for the best places to visit across the globe. While not always particularly budget conscious, the peek behind the first class curtain is fun while balanced with some great ideas for the rest of us. I didn’t know that “glamping” was a thing, but apparently so. Boards dedicated to just about any major destination are full of breathtaking images, from Shanghai to Charleston to Egypt. Get ready to ooh and ahh your way through page after page of pictures that will make you want to pack your bags.
