From Falung Gong to Park Photography: the Life of the Travelblogger
The world is getting smaller thanks to airplanes and the internet - and so this is echoed in the plethora of weblogs written by individual travellers around the planet writing from wherever they are at the time.
From write ups about tattoos in Siem Riap to Falun Gong followers in Vietnam, there seems to be no topic that isn’t published by these intrepid travellers.
Such blogs- often called “travelblogs” - are read by fellow travellers and those who’ve been to the nation they’re writing from. Also, such blogs give an inside view of the nation for the individuals thinking of travelling in the near future, so they serve a purpose as giving them a snapshot of what they can anticipate if they do decide to travel.
These days it’s normal to discover such blogs, and so it’s sometimes not sufficient to merely offer some commentary on the country you are currently residing in. Now there’s a desire for travelblogs that pinpoint particular niches in the country they reside. For instance, a blog regarding park photos from Thailand, or maybe a blog about the wedding ceremonies in Laos.
The majority pen these travelblogs for fun, and maybe a bit of attention, but there are bloggers who are able to make a living from blogging. Be it money via adverts on their site, or for writing features for other sites and being paid to do it as they are travelling. If you’re residing in a nation that has a very low cost of living, this can be sufficient to maintain all your expenses - although you should have a backup some savings and not soley depend on making cash from your blog.
Overall, it’s good to write a blog about what you’re getting up to while you’re travelling - for reminiscing on and remembering what you did, while also giving other people rare inside view on corners of the globe less known.
