The globe is shrinking due to airplanes and the internet - and this is mirrored in the plethora of weblogs penned by travellers all over the globe reporting from the nation they are currently residing in.
From tales about Pattaya floating market in Thailand how to cook stir-fried beans and mushrooms, there doesn’t seem to be a issue that isn’t published by these hardy travellers.
Such websites- often called “travelblogs” - are popular with like-minded travellers and individuals who have already been to the country they’re writing from. Also, travelblogs provide an insight for the individuals thinking of travelling in the near future, so they serve a purpose as giving them a snapshot of what they can expect if they do choose to travel.
These days it’s common to find these travelblogs, and so it’s often not enough to merely provide some commentary on the nation you are currently residing in. Lately there’s a desire for travelblogs that target particular niches in the country they reside. For example, a travelblog about photography in Thailand, or a travelblog that details the the lastest fashions in Japan.
Most pen such blogs as a hobby, and maybe to draw in a readership, however there are others who are able to earn money from blogging. Be it earnings from advertising on their blog, or for writing for other sites and receiving money for such work (while they travel). If you’re living in a nation that has a low cost of living, this can be sufficient to maintain all your expenses - though you do have to have a backup reserve of cash and not have your blog be your only method to supporting yourself.
Overall, it’s a good idea to write a blog about what you’re doing while you’re travelling - as something to refer back to, and at the same time giving others a rare peak at a corner of the planet they may know nothing about.
