The Blogger Recognition Award

The blogger recognition award lets you learn a little bit more about why we are doing what we are doing, why we started blogging and some advice we have to other bloggers.
Here we go,
How we started:
We were feeling a sense of adventure. We wanted to explore the world. We decided that we would tour around either Australia or England for one month. That was our goal as of August 2014. We started researching to see which place would be better to start with. We had friends in Canada that were there on working visas and headed back to England. One of them suggested that we had to come visit them. Jokingly someone suggested we get working visas and move in with them. Haha, we all laughed and carried on playing the board game Betrayal at House on the Hill. We then began to toy with the idea of moving abroad. It would fill the void and our need to travel we thought... Before we knew it we were applying for a working visa in England and starting this blog to keep our family updated on our travels. We kept thinking that we didn't want to go home and have to show everyone a two year slideshow of all our travels. As the time abroad carried on, we really enjoyed writing our blog. We enjoyed sharing our stories and giving tips on travelling as vegans. Now it is an amazing hobby and we really love writing our blog.
Advice for the new bloggers:
Write about what you love. Be yourself and find your own niche. As long as you are talking about something that is dear to you, you will have no problem getting readers. The passion needs to be expressed in your writing or content.
Do not expect to get rich. Some bloggers make money, but it isn't usually from the content they are writing. They usually make money from sponsors, reviews, followers and advertising.

Thank the blogger who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
Write a post to show your award.

That's cool that you got to experience so much being in the U.K. Sorry that you have to transition on but I'm sure you will find inspiration in other places.
ReplyDeleteThat's life. We all must carry on living and finding new joy.
DeleteBeeing a blogger and writing about our passions is in what I believe, readers can definitely feel the difference between who does this only for money!
ReplyDeleteExactly. I can't stand reading blogs where it is obvious they are getting paid to write that article.
DeleteThanks for the nomination!! Writing up my post now 😀
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome!!
DeleteYou are definitely right. Blogging is a passion, sharing your thoughts and knowledge to everyone with your talent in writing can benefit a lot of your readers and followers and through word of mouth, your love and dedication on your work will spread throughout and you will be recognized if not now, on the days to come.
ReplyDeleteExactly. If it is meant to be, someone will discover you.
DeleteBlogging is a passion, but I think it's OK to make money out of it as long as you keep your integrity. I've been paid for articles but they're all mine and I insist on honesty and my own style and if this isn't OK for the brand, they can go somewhere else.
