by Travel & Adventure54 comments

Most of us do our research with the help of good ol’ Google as we seek out the best travel tips and the best things to do for any destination. However, I understand that there are times when Google just won’t cut it and you rather want to gain real-time advice from a group of people online that you can actually converse with — for this, I highly suggest joining Facebook groups for travelers!

To date, there are millions of Facebook groups out there and it can be dizzying to pick out the ‘cream of the crop‘; but don’t fret, becaause with this list, I have gathered the best Facebook groups for travelers that will match whatever need or niche you’re looking for.

I have also made sure that these groups satisfy the following criteria:

  1. It is non-spammy.
  2. It has relevant, active, and engaged members.
  3. It is well-managed by moderators.

Without further ado, here are the best Facebook groups for travelers that you MUST join!
