Dérive is a best travel & photo blogging theme introduced by WPZOOM. The premium theme helps bloggers to create visual appealing stories using interactive elements. I have seen very few photography WordPress themes having these many features that would simplify blogging for modern travel bloggers.
Derive has widgets and other single post features to help you make revenue by promoting Adsense banners. Travel bloggers can also promote niche specific travel packages, hotel bookings, insurance and other stuff. The WooCommerce integration makes it right choice for people wish to sell merchandise from a shop integrated within travel journal site.
