Hi.
I'm Sarah.
World traveling writer, finance nerd and cappuccino addict.
I met up with a friend recently who travels a lot more often than I do. Naturally, we always talk about travel when we get together: where she has been, where she is planning to go next and who she is going with. And every single time we have one of those conversations, I’m shocked at how differently we think about travel.
In October of 2018, I did something I never in a million years thought I would do: I quit my job without another job lined up. I’ve written several posts about that decision, and the burnout that led up to it. But I haven’t written anything yet about what I learned from the experience I’ve taken to calling my Six Week Sabbatical here on the blog.
I usually choose a word, quote, or phrase for the year, and 2019’s will probably come as a surprise to no one. Since one of my primary goals for this year is to build my blog/ brand/ business, Going Places Media, I’m calling this the year of going places.
While this may have started out as a negative topic, it has evolved for me into more of a call for solutions. Everyone is talking about what's wrong with travel blogging, and there is some room for that acknowledgement: but I want to take that a step farther. Let’s brainstorm some ways to shine a light on the dark side of travel blogging.
