I’m implementing some changes in 2019 with the hope of becoming a slightly more serious blogger... one of which is this monthly review. Because serious bloggers always have monthly reviews of some sort, right?
Hi.
I'm Sarah.
World traveling writer, finance nerd and cappuccino addict.
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.
I recently finished reading Chris Guillebeau's The Happiness of Pursuit, which is a book entirely devoted to the importance of quests. So what exactly is a quest, anyway? And more importantly, how do we figure out what our own quest should be?
