Year round, people to take time off work and take a holiday to rejuvenate themselves–and some may need guidance on how to make their travels more enjoyable. 

As a travel blogger, you need to write captivating content that will give your readers inspiration of what to do during the holidays when they travel. 

Here are a few travel ideas that will benefit you as a blogger and, most importantly, benefit your readers.

Entertainment

When you travel in your personal capacity, not because of a business conference or other work-related reasons, the main thing you want to do is to enjoy yourself. Because of this, when it comes to travel blog ideas, entertainment is the highest priority of the reader.

When you write about travel, explain how your readers can have fun while traveling. You can mention the benefits of going to a smaller town by writing about the convenience of having all the fun brought together in one place. 

You can also write area-specific content; for example, you can share ideas or tips about family travel, music in Greensboro, North Carolina, or where to find great small museums in New York.

Restaurant reviews

Some travelers like to explore local cultural food. You can review a particular restaurant, or your favorite food stalls in a street market. 

You can review restaurants that are in your home country, or restaurants from different countries. You will be amazed at how much of a small world it is, when your readers benefit from your reviews, or even chime in with how much they loved it! 

Write only quality posts that you can back-up. If you’re in doubt or lack ideas, it’s a good idea to avail yourself of the custom essay writing service at EduBirdie. Don’t make the mistake of being in a rush to post reviews to the extent where you write reviews of restaurants you haven’t been to. ONLY review what you have personally experienced!

Accommodation review

When traveling abroad, some travelers have experienced false advertising. Giving an unbiased consumer opinion will help your readers make a decision regarding their accommodations. 

Every time you check in a motel, hotel, or guest house, be attentive, so you can write an accurate review. The most important things to look out for are the customer service you received and the overall facility condition. 

Also, try to answer frequently asked questions regarding accommodation; this will make your travel blog post the one stop shop for all accommodation-related inquiries in the destinations you write about. 

Visas and other legal documentation

Each country has its own rules and regulations regarding access for visitors, so writing about them provides a real service, especially during your readers’ travel planning phase. You can write travel topics related to streamlining your application to travel that country, and include tips have helped you. 

You can also consider giving an honest review of the whole process of getting your travel documentation in order. 

Health & Travel

Pre-planning for medical emergencies is very important, especially when going to a foreign country. Planning for a medical emergency involves more than just knowing where the nearest healthcare facilities are. 

It involves knowing how to do emergency first-aid and doing research about the potential health hazards will help you focus on potentially needed skills in that country. For example, if you are in a country with snakes, you can learn about what you will do in the event of a snake bite. 

Most importantly, if your healthcare insurance doesn’t cover you when you are out of the country, you should consider getting travel insurance for the duration of your trip. We recommend as much insurance as possible, for evacuation, death, and more. It’s sobering to think of, but better to be prepared.

Benefits of traveling alone 

Write about the benefits of traveling alone. Traveling alone gives you the freedom to be your own self, eat what you want, and explore where and when you want. 

Traveling alone will boost your confidence. You will also get the opportunity to overcome your fears and learn more about yourself. 

You can also mention that traveling alone is also cheaper and you don’t have to worry about the financial drama that you would face when traveling with others. Write about the freedom you can get of choosing your own route and your own sightseeing schedule.

Packing your bag

Packing may seem like the easiest thing to go before taking your trip. Don’t be mistaken–this phase of planning for your trip is very important, because that’s where you get to see the inventory you have. 

You also need to do research on what you are going to need in that country you are traveling to. For example, if you are traveling to a country with many mosquitoes, you need to plan on what type of mosquito repellants to bring, especially if you are sensitive to some chemicals/smells, or you know the brand that works best for you.

Travel inspirations

To get more travel blog post ideas, you can draw inspiration from other travel writers. 

What else inspires you…and your readers? Perhaps it is beaches (me!), or best coffee shops (me!). Write about what inspires YOU to travel, and you’ll, in turn, inspire others.

Trips to take with a big group of friends

The saying that goes “the more the merrier” may not apply every time when traveling. There are some trips that you will benefit more if you just go alone, and have time and space to decompress. 

For example, if you are trying to find out who you really are or if you just want to rejuvenate in your own solitude, you shouldn’t travel with a group. However, you may want to journey with your friends and family. It's an entirely different experience, and will create moments to cherish forever.

Planning this sort of trip might be useful to share, as there are definitely tips and tricks to getting group rates, sharing accommodations, and even great reasons to travel with your extended family (they might not have thought of this!).

Love abroad

An authentic story of how you fell in love abroad can keep your readers hooked.

You can also share ways that you have traveled as a family, and still found romantic experiences with your partner. 

Be honest in your articles, and share of yourself. Your readers will be able to connect with you, which in turn will make them connect with your blog and stay tuned for more content.

The keys to a great travel blog post are authenticity and relevancy. Put yourself in the shoes of the reader and think about what they want and need to read, learn, and see before they travel themselves.
