Being a heterosexual male in a world full of female travel bloggers is no walk in the park. Everywhere I look it’s girls, girls, girls.
Quite frankly I’m a bit tired of it. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate an aesthetically pleasing Twitter profile and blog full of suggestive photos just as much as the next man, but, let’s be honest here, when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all right?
It’s hardly surprising then that all this travel blogging lark has got me moving closer towards batting for my own side. When the ratio of girls to boys is something like 3 to 1 this kind of shit is bound to happen. Imagine me crawling through a never-ending list of girly-owned blogs and Twitter profiles. It’s only natural that the first man to crop up would scream “exotic”!
Ok. Right then. Now I’ve firmly placed my sexuality cards on the table (*flutters eyelashes* “hello boys”) I guess there’s really nothing more to do than to throw caution to the wind and in indulge in my man crushes publicly.
The top ten travel bloggers I’d go gay for? Let’s cut to the chase and let the stalking begin.
P.S. I’d love to say they are no particular order but that would be a lie. Sorry guys I’m a bitch like that. Yet the offer remains open for a gang bang…
10. Ed Rex – Rexyedventures
The newcomer in at ten is my little Yorkshire terrier and soon-to-be-lapdog, Ed Rex. Ed’s been stirring my loins ever since I saw a saucy model-esque photo of him on his about page on his blog. Looks very good in hats. Hope to meet/shag and share a cup of team with him when he hits the road come spring.
9. Brendan van Son – Brendan’s Adventures
My editor-in-chief (he’s certainly a chief – if you get what I mean ;)) over at Vagabundo Magazine, I’ve pipped for Brendan mainly because he’s got the Photoshop chops to touch my ugly mug up in any coupley photos we might take together in our long, happy and totally imagined future. His cute little Canadian accent coupled with his rugged Antarctic explorer shot gets me salivating every time.
8. Marcello Arrambide – Wandering Trader
In at eight is latin lothario Marcello Arrambide, known colloquially in the gold digging world as “Wandering Trader” aka “Mr Big Bucks”. Marcello originally got me swooning with his point-to-the-sky photo series and his penchant for leopards. He’s really good at SEO too. I like a man who knows how to work their tools.
7. Johnny Ward – Onestep4ward
My little Irish pixie may have a stunning Thai girlfriend but you think that’s going to stop me? Johnny had me at “one” before he even had the chance to take a “step forward”. Since then he’s been flooring me with tales of wanderings into North Korea, Kenya and something about his friend shitting on his passport. Proper little danger man.
6. Chris Walker Bush – Aussie On The Road
The thought of a sweat-drenched, bearded, Aussie man lugging his hefty backpack on the road as he inches towards me? Phwoar. I think I just blew my load a little. However since Chris showed his more sensitive side, in his revelations over the black dog, I’ve suddenly begun seeing him a new light. Mainly as that of a little puppy dog that I could wantonly care for.
5. Gary Arndt – Everything Everywhere
If only Gary Arndt, my older man crush, could actually give me “everything everywhere”, I’m sure I’d have a few suggestions for him. On the back of a motorbike in Belize while he chats about his new “lenses”? If that’s what he wants…
4. Samuel Jeffery – Nomadic Samuel
Samuel’s blog claims to be “dripping” with sarcasm, but I can guarantee he gets me “dripping” with something else entirely. Tales of teaching kids in Korea show that he’s perfect adoptive daddy material. Another one that looks good in hats. Just have a perve at his about page if you don’t believe me – I guarantee you’ll lose a part of yourself.
3. Matt Kepnes – Nomadic Matt
That elfin physique, those come-hither eyes, Nomadic Matt could turn me a gay within seconds of putting on the green light. I don’t even have to look at the man himself to get hard – sometimes the cartoon version in his banner is just as good. An intimidating shag yes – given he’s one of the biggest travel bloggers out there – yet I’d still give it a crack.
2. Colin Wright – My Exile Lifestyle
The closest I’ll ever get to booking a flight and heading out to New Zealand, Colin’s raunchy images of him naked with only a Macbook covering his manhood are a pure stroke of genius – and encourage healthy strokes of a lot more than that too. This American blogger, the man behind the Exiles platform, gets my heart pumping with all his entrepreneurial ideas. That and the fact he only sticks around for 3 months. Convenient as my gay phase probably wouldn’t last for much longer.
1. Anthony Middleton – Man Vs Clock
There have already been many suggestions on my behalf of having male lust for this travel blogging Geordie. You know what? It’s all true. Those cheeks, that bone structure, the no-alcohol thing, the coming to terms with his baldness – this is a true mans man my friends. From action shots on jet-skis, to tiger petting, to close shaves with Neo-Nazis, this boy has done it all. Make no mistake about that.
Phew, so there. I’m done. I need to go and have a cold shower to cool myself down. All that research has got me horny as hell.

hahaha, not sure whether to thank you or delete you will!
I can feel the romance-a-brewin already! EEEEEEeeeeee
Disturbing, yet hilarious. I’m glad to see one of my staff members is doing something productive like this! I’m proud of you Will even if I’m now scared to meet you in person.
Man crushes all up in here! haha
I have no idea how I feel about this article, but I read the whole thing and definitely laughed more than a couple times. Obviously you did something right.
Will def brought the funny on this one!
Only white guys on the list? Where’s the chocolate love? LOL
HAHAHAHAAH OMG! amazing…
You’re up next defo’s!
Somebody really needs to capitalize on the dating website for travelers.
LOL… it already exists. It’s the worldwide web, filled with slutty travel bloggers ready to get it in!
I thought it was called Twitter, Candice?
Have I given you my phone number yet, Fidel?
Phone number? What’s a phone? I don’t think I’ve used one of those to actually make a call this entire decade.
bahahaha this is hilarious!! great one Will!!!
bahahaha this is amazing. You’re right, Will, the male travel bloggers are highly outnumbered and don’t get to win over readers just with shots of themselves in bikinis (or do they…?)
Love it. You get big points from me for being secure enough in your manhood to say what we all know the other guys are thinking. Thank you for making me laugh out loud for real.
Hizzah! Agreed
Wow…scorching hot list here! Until this post, I’d never seen Marcello before. Just retweeted him a few times. Anyway, I must say–he’s adorable! 🙂 And all caps WOW to Colin. And of course, the others are nice to check out, too.
Nice list, Will–and hilarious angle…lol. 🙂
Haha… these boys may be werided out by Will’s list, but look… it’s like he’s pimping them all out to the female bloggers. Lisa already has 2 new hotties for her list!
OOPS…I just realized I meant the WOW for Anthony of Man vs Clock. Was confused by layout. Yeah, he’s cute. Good taste, Will!!
Thank you, kindly 🙂
You’re welcome…the pleasure is all mine! 😉
Glad I could be of service to both the ladies and the hunks in the room…
I’m not gonna lie…I’m pretty smug about my “cheeks” making the very top of Will’s top ten. This post is by far the most hilarious, that I have ever read on a travel blog, my favourite sentence being:
Johnny had me at “one” before he even had the chance to take a “step forward”
Pahhahhaa! Genuis! I just hope that everyone who reads this actually has a sense of humour 🙂
You are SO number one, aren’t you! Can I get your autograph??? And don’t worry… I can take care of any haters… without your censorship. They best be scared!
Haha signed, sealed and delivered!
hahahaha!!! that got me too, so funny!!! but you make me so proud being the top 1, Antonio!!! 🙂
I’m with Fidel on this one, no chocolate love!? As a heterosexual male travel blogger I feel so empty not being on this list. Where can I submit scantily clad photos for consideration?
The queue is forming my friend…the queue is forming. My throat is sore already…
Aww you’re a sexy mutherfucker too Gareth, send me some nude photos and I’ll make sure you get on the next list! (although I say that to all the boys! haha)
haha this is great. Marcello also offers a ponytail for prime finger twirling….
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAA… I do believe he has cut his hair since. *sad face*
I have to say, the eloquent way in which you unleash your homosexual ego out seems… dare I say… natural? This post was definitely the highlight of my morning! I thank you for giving my coffee and I such hilarious company.
PFFFTTTT you would drink coffee!
Well, I’m very pleased to be in a group of very good looking guys..particularly Antony (growls).
This had me both speechless and in fits of laughter. Thank you Will, you certainly know how to cheer me up after a long day at work 🙂
Also, its been a while someone paid me attention 🙂
Ed x
I always think of Empire Records (movie) when I see your name Ed… and ‘sexy rexy’ pops into my head. Well suited no?
haha, if I had a dollar everytime called me Sexy Rexy then I would be a tenaire!
*Growls back* haha. I must admit Ed; I have carried a burden of hat envy of you, for a very long time!!
Fancy swapping…..hats? 😉
Hahaha I’m actually without a good hat at the moment…touchy subject!
This is a truly fun list! Haha I read Samuel, Johnny, Colin and Chris’ blog. You must write a Top 10 list related to travel bloggers for at least once a month! 😀
I second this statement!
Thanks for all the wonderful support. Thought it might be a bit of light reading away from the oh-so-serious bloggers out there. Get your heads out of your asses guys seriously…
Like!
This list makes me HOT too, Will. I can see why you are strongly considering playing for the other side! Great laughs here!! 😉
You’re such a sexinator!
AHAHAHAHA this is AWESOME!!!!
Hogga bish, seriously, this was fucking hilarious! Will is freaky funny. That picture of Chris….Seriously, I was cracking up.
I am waiting for the female version of this list! Hogga…a’hem…..
I’m scared to write it now! eeeeek
LOLOLOLOL!
Yeah… umm … yeah.
I need to get Shaun on some sexy lists or something. It is always good for “exposure”…. right… RIGHT?
Just start posting nude photos of him. That will get him on some sort of sexy list!
This KILLED me. At first I didn’t see the “guest post” disclaimer, so the “go gay for” part was lost on me… 😉
Haha did you think I was hiding something in my pants? Well, sorry to disappoint, but I’m not 🙂
Will Peach is fantastic!
Hilarious!
Lucky me never having to worry about having to wind up on this list- I’m neither sexy or a famous travel blogger. That’s the first time I’ve been grateful for that!
Hogga- I’m volunteering to write the “50 Females that make Travel Blogging Sexy” Article. No, Wait, I need at least 100.
Now, wait again, I’d have trouble narrowing it down to 200. And I couldn’t stand all the hate mail calling me sexist. I’m too fragile for that…
HAHAHA!!! you can write it and just put my name on it
Yikes!!! I am not sure if I should feel insulted or relieved for not being on this! 🙂
Hilarious! I’m going to have to check out Mr. Wright’s site for more semi-nude photos.
I’ve been fantasizing about being on such a list. My dream has come true. But seriously, what does a guy have to do to move up to #1? I’ll do whatever it takes. I like being on top 😛
You have to do all the things Anthony did mate – which is too graphic to describe here…
I like your blog, Samuel. Thank you for the work 🙂 I am sure you will be the first one day… and I will be the second ha-ha….
Will
What a cracking post! Had me in stiches as I counted down 10-9-8-7………and when I got to no.1…I admit I think I did a little wee with laughter haha.
I would agree that I would also go gay for every lad in that list (excluding ManVsClock) but oops too late for that….i’ve been a member since 1986 😀
Keep up the good work Will!
Paul
Will Peach: making men everywhere piss themselves…Not the first time I’ve had that bandied at me.
Hahaha may I *cough cough* highlight that the only reaon Mr Iveson would not “go gay” for me, is because we have the same Grandparents and like….DNA and shit!
Flattered to have come in at #6. I guess all of that running and skipping an extra slice of pizza is paying off.
Keep going and next year I’ll pip Man Vs Clock I’m sure of it!
*you* even!
Fickle slag!
I am seriously ROFL’ing my head off! What a great post!
[…] Much to my surprise, it was something much, much more personal. You see, Will Peach (of Gap Daemon, TravelSexLife, and My Spanish Adventure fame) had included me in an illustrious list of 10 Travel Bloggers I’d Go Gay For. […]
This is the funniest thing i have read all week- snap-ALL DAMN YEAR! Hogga your humor went all out!
Ooops Sexinator’s! Hogga i meant this blog. Love it
Never been called but it’s got a good ring to it!
Don’t be so modest, Will.
I would like to state FOR THE RECORD… my mother, aunt, cousin, cousins I didn’t know, and apparently Jesus, Allah, and Ghandi have gotten a hold of this post and well… I’m entertaining them all at once… lmao
Hilarious! love this post! love your blog! you have such a great way with words!!! and pretty good taste when it comes to men! 😉
Keep it up!
Will really out did himself on this one!
Very clever, Will. You funny. 🙂 I loved #5 for Everything Everywhere. lol!
Lol… This is genius! I haven’t laughed this hard in a while.

Haven’t laughed harder at a post in a long time. Amazing.
I am so going gay right this minute! No, not going grey, going GAY! Marcello´s gorjus but Matt and Colin are the ones for me. Sorry Gary, you´re too “my age” for me!
Don’t tell Will he has the power to turn peoples sexualities, might go to his head…
Hahahaha this is hilarious Will! I thought I’d already commented, but apparently not. So many to choose from – Sexy Rexy? Anthony and that dreamy Geordie accent? Nomadic Matt has a great set of stems…I’d have to be naughty and nominate a married man – Craig from yTravelBlog as my travel blogger I’d go gay for…wait…I am so…I guess I should nominate girls? Hmm…
“Sexy Rexy” hahaha, love it 😀
[…] I know him through the travel bloggerverse and he’s currently my boss at Vagabundo Magazine. He did a quick post for me on that first 24 hours of travel but little did I realise he’s harbouring ‘strong’ feelings towards me and professed them on his guest post for theTraveller World Guide Blog… […]
This post is all sorts of amazing. And the comments are even better – who knew there were so many closet travel blogger bromances???
It’s all out of the closet now! Must have been stuffy in there with so many dudes.
Haha this is actually hilarious! I’m still waiting to appear in a female travel bloggers list of ‘male travel bloggers that would turn me gay’.
Keep up the good work man.
HAHAHAHAHA…amazing
Hahahaha, THAT post would be amazing!

Hmmm… And what would you say about a GAY male travel blogger?
Wouldn’t it be so convenient? Once you’ve gone gay, you wouldn’t even have to buy the guy two tequilas to open his mind and unzip his pants!

Thank God I don’t need to become a gay to go for these hotties 😀 Not that I like all of the 10, but some hell yeah 🙂
This made us BURST out laughing 🙂 Hilarious
We pack hundreds of swimming pool items onto one little
page, and also deliver them from 9 warehouses. This relies on the moment of year as well as exactly
what type of pool you have.
Good article , got a few laughs and some hot looking guys many of which I’d turn gay for also if I weren’t already.
Interesting article and fun to read. I am now checking out some of the blogs starting with Colin Wright – My Exile Lifestyle , only because of the naked photo and he looks quite HOT.
