When Nomad4Ever did this I thought about doing it myself but I don’t much like copying people, now that I’ve been tagged though by Dave at GoBackpacking (Which is a great blog I don’t think I’ve mentioned yet) I have an excuse, so here goes.

1. Documenting my travel expeiences

Travel isn’t just about seeing new countries, you can also see your own, my home state is a world class travel destination I think and it’s worth writing about what I do here, I also think it’s important to learn how to be a good tourist in your own area. I also find the planning part of travel quite fun and I know a lot of others do too.

2. Fun

SEO, CSS, HTML and all the rest can actually be quite fun, I used to build scale model and I find running a blog a setting it up how you want it, improving it and all the rest can actually give you the same type of satisfaction, plus it costs less and I’m more inclined to finish it.

3. Inspiration and keeping me on track

Whether it’s from research or reading others blogs blogging seems to send me to both, I get to be inspired and then I have an outlet for it too. I also started with the idea that if I tell everyone my plans I’m far more likely to stick to the track and eventually fulfill them and it’s doing a damn good job so far.

4. Sharing 

The travel blog community was something I wanted to be a part of so that I could communicate with like minded people and hopefully provide them with a good resource or maybe just something they find interesting to read. Hopefully this blog and others will inspire others to do start their own or even better to see the world they live in.

5. Money

Obviously I have no Ads on my Blog but eventually I hope to generate some meager amount from them that could cover the hosting costs and maybe even contribute to the travel fund.
