Postcard Press Picks:
Women of Color Travel Bloggers
Even in 2019, it seems like the more popular travel blogging and travelgram scenes are dominated by white women. While browsing #travelgram on Instagram, it took a while to find an image featuring a woman of color (WOC), and it’s not much different when browsing for travel blogs. We should all follow and celebrate diverse bloggers because it shows different perspectives from the one we’re used to. So, for this week’s Postcard Press Picks, we wanted to create a list of amazing WOC Travel Bloggers and Instagrammers everyone should follow.

Gloria Atanmo is an incredible writer who has traveled to over 70 countries since buying a one-way ticket to Europe after finishing college. She wants to inspire her readers through her own journey as a solo female traveler.

Travel Pockets
If you have a sister and want a blog promoting travel and sisterly love, then you should follow Travel Pockets by sisters Candy and Crystal, the half-Japanese and half-American sister duo who travel the world in style. The two grew up with a father in the military, so traveling was something they were born into and grew to love. Their blog documents all their travels, including all the hidden gems they’ve encountered along the way.

Packs Light
Gabby puts all of us to shame. After taking her first solo trip at the age of 17, she has traveled to over 10 countries and is still making time to travel despite her 9-to-5 engineering job. She titled her blog “Packs Light” to embody an important philosophy:
- She packs light, mentally and physically—she does bring the baggage of the past into the future and does not place excessive value on material possessions.
- She packs light—she brings with her inspiration, positivity, and empowerment in every aspect of her life, and embodies this light in everything she does.
