I started out from Memphis with two dollars and a dime

Everyone has one and there are a million ways to write one. The travel blog. However, I know from the past that unless the reader is TRULY interested in your destination—they blank our after the first few lines. It is difficult to relate to what you don’t know and where you haven’t been. For this reason, visuals are a must! But not too many—and nothing too “you had to be there.”

“Too often travel, instead of broadening the mind, merely lengthens the conversation” --Elizabeth Drew.

You probably don’t want to hear about my daily travel itinerary. And I’ll be honest, my significant findings on a place are probably just not THAT significant for you or anyone else—just for me. For this reason, I’ll try to keep my travel blogs light as long as you try not to take them too serious.

Read what you like, skip what you don’t, and stare aimlessly over the rest. After all, “it is the journey not the arrival that matters” – T.S. Eliot
