This Blog (And Its Purpose)
I’ve been reading a lot on the BootsnAll travel forums (I don’t have a lot to contribute as I don’t have a huge amount of travelling experience yet), and I stumbled across a thread on good and bad travel blogs. I’m trying to make this interesting, but I guess I don’t have too many very interesting experiences yet–this is more for me, for remembering what I do and sorting out my thoughts on travelling in the future (which is something I want to do even though everyone in America tells me long-term travel is insane and unrealistic). Hopefully, though, I’ll become a better writer as I go. It’s not like I have zero writing experience; I have another blog, about books, I’ve done a bit more of book reviewing, I have an essay in an anthology out next month, and of course being a student I’ve done my fair share of that kind of writing, I keep a journal, I write poetry…So, yes, I can spell. I am pretty good with the grammar. I know how to construct a sentence. But, really, that doesn’t mean anything when it comes to travel writing, does it? So, hopefully, I’ll learn as I go. I think that travel writing would be an amazing way to make some extra money (I don’t know that it would be easy to live off of) while doing something I love (travelling). This blog is practice. I guess it’s a combination of travel writing and a journal, since I currently don’t do enough travelling to warrant an entire blog full of descriptions of my travels. Hopefully, it’s not as bad as some of what is described. If anyone’s reading this, though, and you have a comment, suggestions are appreciated!
