An Introduction To My Blog

You’re back! Thank God! Or, maybe this is your first time visiting my blog, in which case thanks for stopping by!  I thought this would be a good time to give you a quick introduction to my blog.

Obviously, the subject matter of the blog (travel), is a true passion of mine, but I always found that when I visited most other travel blogs, the format was very basic, compared to say fashion and lifestyle blogs whose content, layout, and color are always so engaging.  I began to wonder why travel blogs did not adopt this approach to feature the amazing destinations that our world has to offer.  I mean photos of beautiful places around the globe are so much more interesting than pictures of the same pair of shoes or the same handbag next to a vase of fresh cut flowers (the fashionista and shoe-aholic in me literally cannot believe that I just said that!), and they deserve to be featured in an engaging manner.

I also felt that most other travel blogs were kind of lacking in content.  Not that their photos weren’t amazing; they were.  I just felt like I was left the post with a lot of questions and not a lot of inspiration.  Like, how did they get there?  How did they organize this trip?  How did they choose the locations they visited?  How did they plan the itinerary? How many days was sufficient at each location? And most importantly, how much did it cost?   I’m a lawyer, people, we ask A LOT of questions.  I am literally a trained deposition/interrogation machine.  I can’t help it.  It spills over into every aspect of my life.  Just ask Chad.  I am sure he will be happy to tell you all about it!

Anyway, I decided to create a blog that celebrated wanderlust!  If you read fashion or lifestyle blogs, you can see that the inspiration for the look and layout of this blog, came from those blogs.  As for the content, I hope that I answer the questions that I have for you.  If I don’t, please let me know or if there is something I forgot, I would be happy to answer it if I can.  My menu bar contains seven categories, three of which (Home, About Me, and Contact) are self explanatory.  So, let’s talk about the other four then shall we?

In Globetrotter, I will feature trips I have already taken.  The will be categorized by continent, country, and, where applicable, by city.  For example, my post on the Exumas can be found under North America, then Bahamas.  It is in these posts that I plan to give you a soup to nuts run down of the trip: why we chose the destination, how long it took to plan, our itinerary, including hotels and activities, a rough estimate of the cost, plus some tips and tricks that we learned along the way so that you can feel like you have enough information and resources to duplicate the trip.

This also happens with your penis, due viagra online canadian to an injury. In Wanderlust, I will feature destinations that are on my Bucket List.  These could be trips that I am in the process of planning or trips that I am dreaming of taking, and this distinction will largely drive the content of each post.  I will post my proposed or dream itinerary and then ask you for your advice, opinions, and recommendations if you’ve been to one of the places I am lusting after.  I encourage you to leave comments and feedback.  Chad cautions you to prepare yourself for a barrage of questions (just kidding, kind of…).

Tourist will be dedicated to post about my state!  I will feature stay-cations and/or day-trip that I have taken.  I will also review restaurants that I visit and write about events that are going on.  Think of it as your personal guide to Florida, particularly South Florida!

In Layover, I will post my travel related thoughts, tips, and advice.  If it has to do with travel (other than places I have been, am going to, or want to be) and it is on my mind, you will find it here. For example, I plan to dedicate an entire post to why hiring a travel agent is sometimes the best investment, how to save for travel, how and why you should add a charitable component to your travels, and the difference (in my mind)  between traveling and vacationing, to name just a few.

So, that’s it folks.  That is how I became inspired to create this blog and how I envisioned this blog working.  If there is something you would like to see on the blog, just let me know.

And now, if blogs had Oscar acceptance speeches, this would be mine:  First and foremost, I would like to thank my loving husband, whom I drag all over creation (and nearly kill on almost every trip), who has the patience to listen to my never-ending list of trips that I am planning for us, and who supports me in life, in our travels, and in this passion project (he is my content editor!).  There is no one I’d rather wander with than him.  I would also like to thank some of my friends who are also bloggers who were kind enough to give me advice (and answer a million questions) as I was conceptually working out this blog and encouraged me to stay the course:  Jennifer from The Champagne Supernova,  Alissa from Fuck Infertility, and Nikol from Fresh Beauty Studio/Not Just A Beauty Blogger.  I would like to thank Jana from Little Web Writing Hood who worked (works) tirelessly to make sure that this blog is perfection!  Finally, I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart each and every person who visits this blog and supports me in this endeavor.  Okay, I am done!

By the way, the blog will be traveling this week to San Francisco and Napa for my sister’s bachelorette weekend.  Follow along on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat.  When I return, I will post a full feature on this trip.  Until then, happy trails to you!
