Starting a travel blog has been on my to-do list for a while.
Two years ago, I quit my job to work towards becoming a full-time blogger. I spent the first year learning with a practice blog on Blogspot while taking online courses and researching.
For the last year, my focus has been on getting my first blog up and running. But I have also been taking notes, and getting pictures, on every trip I’ve been on since I decided to start blogging too.
After our trip to Niagara Falls this past September, I wrote out a Complete Guide to Great Wolf Lodge and decided it was time to start planning for my travel blog.
Then at the beginning of March, after a one-night getaway to Great Lakes Crossing Outlets, I came home and started writing about all the attractions we visited. Five blog posts later, I decided it was time to get the travel blog ball rolling and I purchased this website.
Two days later, the pandemic was announced.
Crappy timing, right?
Obviously, launching a travel blog while every tourist attraction I would be writing about is closed won’t make much sense.
Luckily, one thing I have learned from traveling with kids is how to be adaptable.
While I won’t be able to write about (or go on) that trip to Kalahari Resort I had hoped to plan for the summer, there are still vacations I can plan and write about right now.
Virtual vacations that is.
So, despite worldwide closures of popular travel destinations, I am starting my travel blog.
