How to write a travel blog
We all like to share our travels. Keeping a trace of your trip to help other travelers in their future trips, this is the motivation that drives a travel blogger. Creating a travel blog allows you to keep these memories and to help other travelers in the preparation of their trips. But it’s not easy to get started because despite the advantages of having a travel blog, there are a lot of constraints in launching one. Here are some tips on how to write a travel blog.
1) When you write a travel blog: pick a theme
Define what messages you want to get across. This shouldn’t be something very complicated, as your editorial line will depend on how you travel, as well as your own situation / personality! Do you travel alone, as a couple or with your family? Do you make a point of traveling responsibly? Do you like to travel in luxury? Are you a sporty type, enjoying hiking and outdoor activities? Are you particularly attracted by gastronomy, or by meeting people? There is no shortage of topics, and no shortage of opportunities to stand out.
2) Think of a name
The name of the blog is a crucial step. It may take you a long time to find the right name. But be patient. It will be your identity. For the reader, it is the only way to identify you. Choose a simple name, which speaks to you but also to the readers. Despite its simplicity, it must be possible to guess what you do. Remember also to put your name into the domain name.
3) Write about everything
Travel blogs allow you to write about all sorts of fun topics. This means that you don’t have to pigeonhole yourself when it comes to preparing new topic ideas. It’s a good idea to have a general approach when you decide to start a travel blog, but that doesn’t mean you can’t branch out from time to time.
4) Be part of the community
When you write a travel blog, you are also joining a community. Don’t hesitate to share with other bloggers. Let them have feedback and advice, just like they could do for you.
The main idea of a blog is above all to share. Writing a travel blog is an opportunity to share your adventures around the world. So get the suitcases ready.
