This Weblog Volition Suck Less (Or How One Got My Motivation Back)
Posted: 1/28/2019 | Jan 28th, 2019
Let me tell what most of yous are (probably) thinking: this weblog sort of sucked inward 2018. It genuinely mightiness accept started sucking a flake toward the halt of 2017. Maybe fifty-fifty 2016.
What practise I hateful yesteryear that?
Well, piece nosotros transcend away along to hit “how-to” content that I am real proud of in addition to intend is amend in addition to to a greater extent than detailed than what else you’ll abide by on the spider web (’cause we’re the best!), those kinds of articles — piece I similar writing them because, to me, budget travel is similar solving a puzzle (and they are non bad for Google) — simply doesn’t construct a blog….well, a blog.
They lack personality.
They are helpful, sure, but yous read blogs because of the people behind them, non simply the useful data they give.
And I intend this website has larn a lot less personal in addition to a flake stale over the in conclusion brace of years.
I simply haven’t been motivated to write anything “personal.” Once inward a while, sure, but similar inward the erstwhile days? Ehhh. Not really.
I don’t go equally much equally I used to in addition to intend my days are pretty mundane. I hateful who cares near what I consume for breakfast, what I practise on the weekends, or genuinely anything non-travel related?
Moreover, I felt similar my thoughts in addition to feelings near go were already out at that spot in addition to that at that spot was aught else genuinely left to say.
So what was left to write about?
Another “best hostel inward X” post, that’s what!
I don’t experience I genuinely wrote anything “groundbreaking: in conclusion year. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lot of what nosotros posted inward 2018 was simply erstwhile posts updated amongst novel content.
A few weeks ago, I mentioned moving to Paris (temporarily but perhaps forever? Who knows! I got to elbow grease it out first). NYC is an unproductive identify for me in addition to I desire to pass to a greater extent than fourth dimension writing this year. I request a novel infinite for that. I request a identify where I experience my creative juices flowing.
I don’t know if that is Paris but I know it’s non NYC.
But, equally I mentioned inward that post, this year, I desire to alter this website too.
Or, should I say, alter it dorsum to what it used to be.
I desire to write to a greater extent than stories.
After a 2 twelvemonth interruption in addition to a instance of unmotivation, I’m finally feeling motivated again.
This twelvemonth you’re going to run into non solely the “how-to” posts we’re goodness at hither but also to a greater extent than of me — to a greater extent than near my life equally a traveler, to a greater extent than posts near the emotional ups in addition to downs of travel, in addition to to a greater extent than posts near people.
I’ve got a dozen articles drafted on my desktop: thoughts on globalization in addition to travel, plastic in addition to travel, life inward hostels, what I loathe near go correct now, existence connected “to home” on the route (I’ve noticed a lot of hostels accept Netflix now), getting “stuck” inward places, why I never desire to take away heed near digital nomads again, in addition to a bunch to a greater extent than stuff!
I’ve been writing upward a tempest this month.
And I’m also going to start sharing to a greater extent than photos in addition to stories on my Instagram (especially equally I’ll likely accept a lot to tell when trying to settle into Paris)!
One other affair that is happening this year: I’m opening the website upward to to a greater extent than invitee posters starting inward March. I desire to pick out inward dissimilar voices in addition to to a greater extent than stories on the website. People who are simply starting out or accept expertise inward a for certain area.
It’s a novel idea. I don’t know how it volition work. I desire to practise some guidelines showtime (so don’t electronic mail simply yet! If yous do, nosotros won’t reply!) equally I desire to construct for certain nosotros practise this right!
So, yes, novel year, novel me!
But also a “new” blog!
I’m excited to construct this website personal again.
Who knew I had in addition to hence much even in addition to hence left to tell later on all?
I approximate all that was missing was a flake of motivation!
