Are you a traveler? Or by any chance, do you plan to take on a travel adventure? Are you interested in writing? Do you love telling stories or sharing experiences with your friends?

If you just answered yes, then you are all set to start your own travel blog.

Why should you bother?

You get to document your experiences and who knows, maybe inspire others eventually.

Since you religiously upload all your photos online for each of your travel, and even write lengthy captions on the memorable ones, why don’t you take your sharing up a few notches?

Create your own travel blog.

It’s up to you whether you want to merely tell stories just like what you do in a diary, or provide readers useful information, say backpacking tips. Either way, beware that growing number of followers doesn’t happen overnight. You must work hard so people will know that your page exists. And you need to make it really good so people will love you.

Well at least, you can expect your legion of loyal followers in your friends and relatives.

You might just earn additional income.

Let us get one thing straight though: This takes time to happen.

You will first have to establish your blog, build quite an impressive number of followers so advertisers would express interest in working with you. They shall pay you handsome amount of money in exchange of links.

Business owners on the other hand might offer you freebies or even take care of your expenses on your next travels provided you’d mention or write about them in your page as well.

Then again, you must maintain quality in all of your posts to attract these kind of offers.

Meet and learn from fellow travel bloggers.

There are several souls out there who like you are exploring the world and sharing their finds online.

Eventually, you will get the opportunity to talk to and even meet some of them in person. The blogging community works like a virtual brotherhood. You automatically earn your support system. Chances are they will find your blog and shall leave uplifting comments.

They might even follow you on your social networking accounts and from there you can exchange insights about travels, as well as score suggestions on your next travel destinations.

Join contests by investing in your passion.

Every now and then, there’s an establishment that hosts contests open for all travel bloggers.

Travel bloggers are required to answer few questions and once their entry is selected, they get a chance to travel for free.

If the destination at stake is among your dream trips, then you are most likely to do everything to win. But even if you do not, it still is fine. Merely joining is already a fun experience in itself. You also did not feel stressed as all you did is invest in your passion, in what you love doing.

Do it because you want it.

At the end of the day, keeping a travel blog requires commitment. You do embark into it just so you can impress other people or earn bragging rights. It starts with that desire to share, in which you do not expect anything in return. Because if you make it good, rewards shall come without you pushing for them.
