5th April 2017 is a special day for TravelBlog.org - the World's Friendliest Travel Community is now 15 years strong - and growing!
As we do each year to celebrate TB's birthday we have just announced this year's inductees into The TravelBlog Hall of Fame.
Head on over to the forums, help us celebrate the achievements of our latest inductees, and be inspired by their amazing travel tales and images.
2017 TravelBlog Hall of Fame
15 years is a real achievement - and we're still here and growing because of you, the TB community.
Thank you to everyone for sharing your travel stories, getting involved in our forums, and for carrying that spirit over to in-person meetups within the TB community.
We'd love to hear your favourite TB memories and anecdotes, and what you love most about being part of the TB family!

Reply to this Happy Birthday Travelblog, thank you for providing a platform for us and all of your hard work in running an maintaining the site
Reply to this Yep, many congratulations Ali you have created something rather fine. I'm sure I speak for all your users when I say thank you; we love your site and and are very grateful for the linking (to faraway friends) it provides, everything it informs us of and the entertainment it provides. Here's to many, many more anniversaries.
Reply to this Happy birthday! Feliz quinceanera Travelblog! I have enjoyed being a member since 2005. I look forward to reading and being inspired by the friendliest travel blogging Community for the years ahead!
Reply to this It's been a wild 15 years 😊
A huge thanks to Michelle
auspicious and Jo
Jo Trouble - who handle pretty much all of the behind the scenes support and admin.
Another huge thanks to the moderators who keep the community going, admin tasks, accepting new bloggers, removing spam and helping new members of the site feel welcome.
And a final huge thanks to all the bloggers who share so many amazing stories and photos every single day, we've probably had new blogs added to the site every day continuously for over a decade now!
TravelBlog wouldn't be possible without you!
Next milestone - who will add the 1 millionth blog?
Reply to this Happy Birthday, Travelblog. Six years ago I finally took the trip I had planned in some form for nearly 25 years. When I got back, life felt sort of empty; nothing could compare. Then I got involved in the Travelblog community beyond just posting blogs, and discovered a group of people with the same wonderlust.Travelblog really is the friendliest community out there; thank you to everyonel for making it what it is.

I have always been an individual not bound by my past that followed my own paths wherever they may lead...curious, enquiring, determined, able to engage the highs and lows and survive...fortunate to have a life partner that I could enjoy it with. But it was not until I joined Travelblog that the World and its plethora of travellers truly opened up to me...like minded souls who embraced their journeys no matter how or where they may be.
My thanks to Ali who had the vision to create the site and the generosity and insight to make it and keep it personal, a World family community open to all. My thanks to Michelle, Jo and the dedicated Administrators and Moderators behind the scenes who help it be the best it can be.
We have met the most wonderful people through Travelblog...travelled with some of them...followed the rides and slides of so many travellers in the ether.
How fortunate are we to be a members of this community? Happy 15th Travelblog...here's to many more!!!
Reply to this Happy belated, TravelBlog! 😉
You have introduced me to some amazing friends and strangers (who feel like friends as I vicariously enjoy everybody's travels). TravelBlog really wouldn't be the same without the community. Thanks everyone!
Reply to this As well as the amazing people who have all been part of TravelBlog in whatever form, it's been great to see so many parents introduce the younger members of their family to the TB family - we even have a few 'second generation TBers' 😊
Reply to this Happy Birthday and well done. Your hard work has been really appreciated by me (and my long suffering family who have to read about my adventures).
Thanks!!!
Reply to this Any chance of the 20th anniversary party?
Should we start planning now?
Oregon?
Reply to this If we are thinking far ahead, there is a total solar eclipse over the US on April 8, 2024. We could easily combine this with a Travelblog get together : ) The best viewing areas look to be in Texas.
