I wanted to bring you guys another #FollowFriday set, but this time I want to share some really cool folks who focus on travel. Many of these guys are people around the globe that I’m really lucky to call friends; some are just cool folks that I look up to for their helpful insight. These are some fantastic Twitter users who share travel hacks, insights on living abroad, discount airfare, cheap accommodation, working remotely, and more.

Great list, Cody – some of my favourite travel twitter-ers.
The smarter, more beautiful half of the Indie Travel Podcast is now tweeting too – @lindajmartin.
Wow, thanks Cody. I’m now following Richard who I’m glad to say is the only one who I wasn’t already.
Thanks for that list. I was actually looking for some interesting people on Twitter in the nomad life category. This helps a lot
Also a bunch of useful new websites and blogs to explore.
I always viewed myself as more of a travel commando…
Thanks for the comments guys. Stay tuned, I’ll have more digital nomad-specific #FollowFriday recommendations next week!
Great list! Now I have a few new fellow traveling Twitterers to follow now!
