beat the brochure

There are literally thousands of travel blogs out there in web land. Most are average, some are great, a few top notch. But no matter how great your travel tales are, if you have an interesting, unusual or unique travel blog name, it can really help draw attention to yourself in a crowded sphere. Here at Beat the Brochure we do not judge a blog by its cover, but it we did, who would we be drawn to?

Man on the Lam (@manonthelam1)

I am going to be honest with you all. For a good while I read this a ‘Man on the Lamb.’ Was I disappointed when I realised it was Man on the Lam? Yes, but it is still a great blog name. According to Raymond (the man), the phrase means man on the run. Fun and educational equals a great blog name in my eyes.

Beer and Beans (@BeersandBeans)

This exceptionally popular blog is run by the lovely Beth and Randy, who class themselves as Beer (Randy) and Beans (Beth). A perfect combination, which as my travel mates will tell you I had on more then one occasion on my travels.

Crazy Sexy Fun Traveller (@Sexyfuntraveler)

This is a no brainer really. If I had to describe someone who I would want to meet on my travels, it would be a crazy, sexy fun person. So when I came across this blog I was a) delighted such a person exists, and b) gutted I never got to meet them. A fun blog with crazy, sexy fun traveller Alexandra’s fingerprints all over the place.

Adventures of a Good Man (@GregGoodman)

If this blog was a varnish, it would be Ronseal – it does exactly what it says on the tin. A good man by the name of Greg shares his adventures with us all. How do we know Greg is a good man? We don’t, but it says it on his blog, so it must be true, right?

Brendan’s Adventures (@Brendanvanson)

OK so it may not be the most original blog name, but having your own name in the title can be a big help. There is nothing worse then scanning several pages of a blog trying to find out the name of the person who it actually belongs to. No such problems with Brendan’s blog. Have a gold star.

Tourist2Townie (@tourist2townie)

Most travellers have a fear of becoming a local. No such qualms from Gareth, who is proud of the fact he left home to become a local down in Argentina. With his transformation from a tourist to a townie complete, he seems pretty happy with himself. And so he should be.
