Thankfully, you stumbled upon this article, because today we will facilitate the tough process of establishing a website. We have gone through all the suitable themes for travel blogs among the 12,000 available on WordPress.org, and we cannot wait to show them to you. Buckle up!
Blockstarter
Blockstarter combines captivating colors (available in different styles) and a full site editing experience on WordPress. It is extremely lightweight – only 30KB compressed file size without the fonts and images and nothing to slow you down as only core Gutenberg blocks have been used to create the theme. The theme is compatible with all the popular plugins, and it even supports the good old Classic editor. If you decide to go for the Premium version, unlimited possibilities will unlock, e.g. additional theme demos, various page templates, different sidebar positions, post archives multi-column layouts, more patterns, and block styles. Make your website truly unique by choosing different combinations of Google Fonts. Plus, when upgrading, you are also getting access to priority customer support and updates.
Feel free to modify Blockstarter to be suitable for your next travel project and explore the recently released demos: depending on your mood, you can choose between Tropical Island and Winter Fairytale demos, both being simply gorgeous.

Pliska
Pliska is my personal favorite. This pearl of a theme is designed for high-quality blogs, online shops, publishing platforms, and company and portfolio websites. Not only does it look innovative and futuristic, it also behaves flawlessly on any type of device, screen size, or browser. The theme is optimized for speed and SEO. It features Schema.org markup and is WCAG 2.0 (Level AA) compliant. Make your site truly unique with three different page layouts, different header options, Google fonts and take advantage of all the other amazing (free!) features such as social share for posts, author box, related posts, different menu positions, and mega menu functionality.
