Hello, my wonderful devoted readers. I hope you can accept my apology for such an extended hiatus. The reason is complicated. I have had a busy, chaotic schedule, there's been a little lack of self-confidence with travel blogging, and a need to determine what I really want this blog to be about.
On one of my other posts, somebody I met at work who was kind enough to visit my blog left a very interesting comment. The gist of it was that my blog seems to be trying to be a lot of different things at once, and that perhaps I should settle on one coherent style. The truth is I’m not really sure which style I want this blog to be in. I definitely don’t want it to be the kind of blog that just says “go here, do this thing.” I want it to be about stories and the cultures of the places I visit. I also want it to be educational, so that my readers might learn something new when they visit. Sometimes I worry that my posts are too boring, so I’ve tried to spice them up with a more narrative style. I don’t know if that helps, or just makes it confusing.
So I thought I’d take a little break to remember why I started this blog, and what I wanted it to be about. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ve come back with a concrete answer. So, if you have any opinions regarding what you enjoy reading the most, please let me know. I think perhaps the more traveling I do with this blog in mind, the clearer my goals will become. Most of my itinerary during my travels has been out of my control. Perhaps the more travelling I do with my own agenda, as well as with this blog in mind, the clearer my goals and nuances will become. I guess we’ll see.
If you’re still here, reading this after my absence, you rock, and you are a major reason why I am writing this blog at all. Thank you.
