Why You Should Start Writing About Your Favorite Destination
Unless, of course, you ENJOY shooting thousands of dollars into the wind when you travel.
Did you know that a hidden gold mine exists for people who write about their favorite destination? Whether you visit the same vacation spot on repeat OR you’re madly in love with where you live, you can absolutely turn your favorite pin on the map into the most rewarding job and lifestyle on earth....without begging the tourist board to hire you.
Today’s post is part of Your Other Passport - a new column dedicated to transforming average travellers into destination bosses.
‘Your Other Passport’ is a set of blueprints filled with bright ideas, actionable advice, and bite-sized tidbits that’ll teach you how to stop spending money on travel, start earning money on the road, and become widely recognized within your destination of choice, even if the destination is where you currently live.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY needed to see that photo of my feet up there, but I’m using it to prove a point. I’ll tell you how it relates a little further down the page.
First things first.
If you’re the type of traveller who keeps visiting the same destination over and over because you can’t seem to get enough, you’re probably exhausted over the financial drain of ALWAYS wanting to be there.
But hear this:
Chances are if you’ve been to the same place a few times you know a few things about it, right?
If you want to stop spending travel dollars, all you need to do is turn your love and knowledge of a particular destination into a legit hustle…because that’s how every epic pursuit begins. Long live the side hustle!
This pursuit isn’t going to earn you money in the beginning but it WILL start earning you free travel perks in a matter of months. I promise. And it’s waaaay easier to execute than you think.
You don’t even need a professional website to pull this off but you do need some form of online real estate. A simple blog will suffice. You could even get away with using Substack if you invest in a custom domain name and you’re willing to settle for lack of prettiness.
Why does a destination lover need a blog?
