If I knew then what I know now! Your top tip for aspiring travel writers and bloggers!
I hesitate to pass myself off as someone who is an expert as we have only been at this about a year, and are still struggling to gain traction. With that said, I think the thing that I would advise is to do this only if you love making the time to share your experiences with others. There aren’t many that become overnight successes in the travel blogging world, in my limited experience. Patience may be your greatest ally.
