The website MinTur finally has Sweden's best travel blogs. The list is definitely worth checking out; there are many interesting and exciting blogs! On place number 1 we find the blog Ett annat New York. We ourselves made it to number 24, which feels great!
Our blog is on the list!
Even though our blog is relatively new, and even though we mostly blog specifically about motorhome travel, we have been awarded a place on the list. Very exciting! You can read a short interview with us and a review of the blog on Mintur.se.
Perhaps an odd bird among our travel blogs, but with their dedication and love of life on the road, the Bergström family deserves a place on the list.
Difficult to compare blogs
Now the website MinTur has finally named them: Sweden's 25 best travel blogs. The list is definitely worth checking out; there are many interesting and exciting blogs! On place number 1 we find the blog Ett annat New York.
Comparing the blogs on this list is very difficult because they are so different. What exactly is a travel blog? It ranges from personal observations from Swedes living abroad to journalists' tips and reflections on travelling.
This is how the blogs were selected
MyTour describes that they went through over 100 good quality travel blogs. They then went through these, one by one, until they had 25 left. These were ranked based on a number of points, and each point was given a rating between 1 and 10. The points assessed were:
- First impressions
- Image quality
- Text quality
- Frequency of posts
- Inspirational factor
- Personality
- News value
- Design
- Navigation and structure
- Reserve relevance
- Overall impression

Travel talk, yes, there are many ways to think about a list like this... I'm curious, what would your list look like?

Mufflo, thank you!
🙂
LeiaMia, Krister in Beijing is also one of my favourites on that list. A foreign blog that provides those interesting little reflections that the newspapers don't, and that is relaxed, personal and fun to read.
Travel talk, interesting! We will of course check out Dey!

CONGRATULATIONS! Really fun that you are involved. 🙂
I actually didn't know many of them, but I can imagine there are many more that would fit on that list!

Krister in Beijing says:
Thank you LeiaMia and Peter/Helana
As I wrote when you got your 24th place, I think you should have been higher up in the list.
Even though I have no direct interest in motorhomes myself, your blog is still interesting and enjoyable because you have a good mix of different themes, and you keep your "red thread".
You are definitely higher quality than many others on the list.
Keep up the good work.
I read almost every day.

Henny, thank you! Isn't it great that a motorhome blog was included?
Veiken, thank you! Some of the blogs are perhaps of a more professional nature, but there are many good ones! I follow Krister in Beijing, Life in Shanghai and Everyday life in Sicily.
Dila, thank you! And definitely, check out the list!
Krister, thank you for your kind words! We certainly welcome readers without a motorhome! The motorhome is a way of travelling, but really it's the travelling itself that is our main interest!
