What kind of activities and destinations are you writing about?
If you're blogging about general city guides, etc then I would find it difficult that anyone could get injured and find your blog liable because they followed a restaurant recommendation and fell down some stairs.
If your blog is about activities that have risk — for example, hiking solo — then probably you should stick a disclaimer in your blog terms and conditions.
Thanks Ian. My blog will include stories about seniors and what keeps them aging in a positive direction. The audience may try what is being recommended by their peers - for example, exercise, natural remedies, riding a motorcycle etc.
I have a disclaimer not really for the intent of injury associated with suggestions made from a blog but does cover affiliates and 3rd party entities found on our site and not being liable for anything there.
Here is all the legal stuff we have on our site footer. Not sure if it helps but perhaps a good reference point.
Does your blog have a liability disclaimer?

I am new to travel blogging and am concerned about readers following suggestions in a blog and getting injured as a result.
