5. Plan Your First Travel Blogging Trip (and Involve Readers)
Now that your travel blog is up and running, it’s time to start planning your first trip (and content creation process).

Maps and Planning Your First Travel Blog Trip
This section of our guide will look at planning a series of travel blogging trips that are attainable, on-budget, and interesting to your (future) audience—and doing so especially around your work if you still hold a full-time job.

Start with Close Destinations
If you’re still dependent on your day job, it can be difficult to travel as often as you may like. One way to overcome this challenge in the early days of your travel blog is to take short trips to nearby destinations. This will help you:

Test out your equipment
Practice taking photos (and videos)
Try your hand at creating content for your blog
Begin sharing on social media and interacting with potential readers
For your first couple of trips, I recommend choosing exciting nearby destinations, won’t take too much time to research & plan—and of course make sure they’re destinations your audience will be interested in.

Plan Your Trip Ahead of Time
While this may seem like an obvious step for travel bloggers, it still needs to be mentioned—the vast majority of travel bloggers plan their trips ahead of time (taking into account the locations they want to visit and albania phone number database they want to get), rather than completely winging it when they show up at a new destination.

Consider also that you may want to schedule your trip to take place during an upcoming 3-day weekend so that you won’t need to take time off from work.

A few main things to focus on as you plan your first travel blogging trip include:

Deciding on the destination and main facets of your trip
Budgeting how much you want to spend (and how)
Accommodations (hotel vs Airbnb)
Meal planning (restaurants vs shopping & cooking)
Travel style arrangements (solo or group)
Documentation (what you want to capture and write about)
Make sure to keep a journal where you note everything about your travel plans.

Better yet, use your travel blog to journal about your trip preparation in public for your readers to see and learn from.

That process will not only help you perfect your own trip-planning process over time, but it’ll also forge stronger bonds with readers who feel they’re participating in the adventure with you. Plus, you may just get some good tips (or requests) for activities to do on your trip.
