They're native speakers, but the style is weird, agreed. I think it's the generally extremely simple sentence structure and vocabulary -- this blogpost is probably at a third-grade reading level. There's also no deep commentary on any of the things they encountered or things they thought about. I couldn't help but feel as if I was reading some kind of picturebook intended for children.
