Best Philippines Travel Blogs 2026: Feedspot Top 40 List + Our Story

Joanathx.com is ranked #35 out of 40 in Feedspot’s “40 Best Philippines Travel Blogs to Follow in 2026” list, curated and published on May 25, 2026. Feedspot is one of the world’s largest RSS feed directories and blog ranking platforms, assessing blogs based on content relevancy, subject expertise, posting frequency, freshness, and credibility within their niche.

Being included in this list alongside established Philippine travel blogs — and as a blog written by a Filipino expat rather than a full-time local blogger — is something we’re genuinely proud of. Here’s the full list, what Feedspot looks for, and our story.

What is Feedspot?

Feedspot (bloggers.feedspot.com) is a free blog directory and RSS reader that curates ranked lists of blogs across hundreds of categories and countries. Their Philippines Travel list is one of the most referenced rankings for Filipino travel content. To be considered, blogs must:

• Publish original, regularly updated travel content focused on the Philippines
• Demonstrate subject expertise and credibility in the travel niche
• Maintain consistent posting frequency
• Have an active presence and engaged readership

The list is updated regularly, and rankings shift based on content freshness and activity. The current list (May 2026) ranks 40 blogs.

Our Story: A Filipino Expat Travel Blog

Joanathx is different from most Philippines travel blogs on this list. Written by a Filipino expat living in Saudi Arabia, the blog’s core focus is:

• Philippines travel — Mount Pulag, Sagada, Corregidor, Intramuros, Buscalan, and other destinations visited during trips home, written from an expat’s perspective (“what to do when you come home for a visit”)
• OFW/Expat travel guides — How to get a Saudi eVisa, UAE visa tips, budgeting for trips home, and navigating immigration as an OFW
• Saudi Arabia & UAE living — Practical guides for Filipinos moving to or visiting the Gulf region
• Budget travel — High-volume, low-competition destinations like Bali, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia

The blog’s unique angle is helping fellow OFWs and expats plan meaningful trips — whether that’s visiting family in the Philippines, exploring the Gulf region, or discovering affordable destinations nearby. We rank destinations by what matters to budget-conscious Filipino travelers: visa ease, flight costs, and value for money.

Why this Ranking Matters

For a small, independently-run blog with no marketing team or PR agency, being recognized by Feedspot alongside well-established Philippine travel blogs is meaningful. It validates the content strategy of targeting high-volume, low-competition keywords and writing from personal experience rather than generic travel advice.

If you’re a fellow blogger, the key takeaway is: consistent posting, original content, and genuine expertise in your niche will get noticed over time.
