Y Travel Blog
Long-running couple-run blog with in-depth destination guides, itineraries and family travel advice.
About Y Travel Blog
Y Travel Blog is run by Caroline (Caz) and Craig Makepeace, an Australian couple who have built a life around travel since the early 2000s. The site went online in 2010 and over sixteen years has grown into a large independent travel publication with more than 1,100 posts. They publish in-depth destination guides, multi-day itineraries and family travel articles written from places they have actually visited, geared to families, couples and slow planners. The pair also produce their own photography, often credited in captions, and offer photography and short-form video services alongside their trip-planning content.
This reads like a generous, well-traveled friend who happens to be a brilliant trip planner. Caroline’s voice is warm, candid and practical, mixing personal stories with very specific, actionable advice, the Los Angeles non-touristy guide is a long, carefully updated piece that even notes changes after the Palisades Fire. The posts are long-form and richly visual, with plenty of original photos and clear photo credits, and they include transparent affiliate disclosures. If you want deep, usable itineraries, family-focused planning and real on-the-ground detail rather than quick listicles, this is a site you will keep coming back to.
