Beginning Your Personal Travel Blog

By Carla Rossouw


Some people love travelling. They love seeing new places and having new experiences. If you are one of these people and you want to tell the world about the things you have experienced, you should write your own travel blog. Below are some ways on how to do it.

Arrange your travel calendar. As you will be writing a blog about your travel experiences, you need to make sure that you have a topic to write about on a regular basis. Make sure your travel calendar is active. If not, you need to gather past experiences and recall them in a very detailed way. While you are not on the road, you can talk about the past travels.

Write in good English. English as a major in school is not a requirement. However, you will be expected to write in good English so that the readers will be able to easily comprehend what you are trying to say. If your grammar is bad, the experiences you will be sharing will be confusing. Therefore, you need to always proofread or check your blog entry before you click the publish button.

Be creative in telling stories. There are thousands of blogs on the internet. People read what they find interesting. You need to be unique and fun in narrating your experiences. You can tell anecdotes and insert humour from time to time. You can also make it creative and fun by adding pictures. The pictures can show more than what you can write. Take a camera with you all the time and capture the best moments. Share these pictures to your readers and they will definitely become captivated. Show them what you saw with your naked eyes. Another way to make it interesting is by making them look forward to something. You can, for example, visit the same fast food chain in every place. Take note of the similarities and differences in each country. That will be really interesting for many.

Write your heart out. By writing your heart out, this means that you need to write in a very sincere way. Tell your readers what you truly felt while you were in the place. Never underestimate your readers. They know when what you are writing is true to your feelings or not. If you didn't like something about an attraction, write about it honestly. It will help not only the readers but also the people managing the area as they can know what to improve about it.

Travel blogs, like travel reviews, help individuals in planning their upcoming vacations. They are very handy as they contain details of the actual experience. This is why you should always be honest when you are sharing what you have experienced. Never be shy to tell the world what you did and what you learned in the place. Someday, the people will thank you for putting up your own travel blog.
