How to Become a Successful Travel Blogger in 2025

0 · Feb 19, 2025 · Leave a Comment

If you are here, it means you enjoy traveling and most probably, it is one of your hobbies. Amazingly, you love to travel and have decided to start your blog. Having a blog nowadays is the biggest flex, it helps to earn more money. If you want to be famous then make sure to engage more people who are interested in what you are doing.

What you are doing truly matters, I know that it is important for you to hear these words. As you are new in this industry you might feel a bit anxious about how to organize everything and start to be more productive. 

It is your turn to shine, just log in to your Instagram account and make your account public. Start posting and this article will help you by giving tips on how to become a successful travel blogger in 2025.

Create A Website

Travel blogging is an amazing thing, we all know that most people Google where and when to travel and are hopeful to get some tips and tricks. You can be a very good blogger if you do your best and try to engage as many people on your blog as you can.

Having a website can be the biggest flex for the blogger. You can feel free to share your feelings and ideas. If you want to write about something, then you feel motivated to share your thoughts, and authentically engage the audience.

You can make sure to have affordable RDP Hosting, as it will enhance your online experience and you feel comfortable with this as a blogger. You need to know that hosting is essential if you want to have a very successful website. It is not an easy thing to do, but remember as you do it, the website becomes better and more useful for all the users. And the user experience is the most important thing and that is what all seek and try to have.

Visual Communication

As you plan to become a travel blogger, you might know the importance of visual communication. You need to improve your skills to be successful and have all the necessary skills. There is too much visual traffic on the internet and people strive to see something beautiful and real.

It is important to show your emotions the way they are. To create a story you can make your Layflat photo books. These photo books will allow you to create and share your feelings. Photo books are a great way to feel more connected to art and present visually whatever you have seen.

Be Authentic

You want to become a travel blogger and I suggest you be the way you are. Because the way you are is the best way to be. This is not another motivational article that you read, but it is a sign from the universe to start it now. Think what are your best features that will allow you to create authentic content. You can create content that others will admire and understand.

Nowadays many bloggers copy each other and it is very difficult to understand which one of them is better. You can be better if you create your style and follow it. It will not be so hard, as you will have your way of saying things to show the world to others.

If luxury travel is your focus, featuring high-end experiences like mega yachts for rent can attract travelers looking for something unique and exclusive, giving your blog an edge in a competitive space. Being a travel blogger can be very exciting but at the same time hard to be. If you want to win the world then you need to understand that you can do it only with the help of being authentic and creative.

You Can Become a Successful Travel Blogger!

You can be the best travel blogger of your choice if you stay true to yourself and go creative. You need to create while sharing travel tips and tricks, as nowadays many travel bloggers do not know how to market themselves and what they do. 

If you want your business to succeed then you need to have more dedication and motivation, but motivation alone is not enough, there is more need to focus on your talents and what it needs to be a person who does the best to present the true colors of travel to the audience.

Your audience will respect you if you start showing what it truly means to travel the world and do your best to show the tips and free tricks to organize travel. Try to be the one who motivates others to do the same and travel the whole country.

You can do what you feel is right for you and do not feel pushed, just start publishing and sharing the content the way you feel. The rest will come naturally and you will feel happier and better. I hope that after some time I will scroll through my reels or Tik Tok and find your content, and do not have an idea that you have got your motivation from my article. Good Luck!

Roasted Potatoes and My Visit to Smucker’s

// Roasted Potatoes Recipe // 

Roasted Tri-Color Potatoes

A few weeks ago I had the fabulous opportunity to visit Orrville, Ohio the home of the Smucker's Family.

Heather from WhipperBerry at the Smuckers General Store

You know… Like Smucker's jam and jelly. Little did I know how diverse the Smucker's family really is. It's not all jam & jelly, they have a large family with all kinds of wonderful and iconic brands like Folgers, Jiff, Hungry Jack, Pillsbury Baking and Crisco to name a few. We had the chance to meet Tim & Richard Smucker the Grandsons of J.M. Smucker the founder of the family owned Smucker Brand.

Richard Smucker & Myself

We had a couple of amazing days learning all about this truly remarkable company. Still family owned, still infused with the values instilled by J.M. Smucker himself. A company that refuses to let go of the family touch in a world where products and brands are becoming more and more sterile. 

the whole crew at the J.M. Smucker House

Here is the whole crew out in front of J.M. Smucker's house that he built right on the grounds of his company headquarters back at the turn of the century. The house is still there along with some of the old buildings he used back in the day. Today it is a beautiful campus with a good mixture of old and new. A fabulous way to help their employees remember their roots and core values. 

I just fell in love with the whole Smucker Family and I can't wait to share more of what I learned while I was there. But… instead of boring you with one long wrap-up post. I thought I would develop some fun recipes using some of the Smucker's products to tell the story. 

Since we are getting close to Thanksgiving, I thought I would share one of my family's favorite side dishes.  Roasted Tri-Color Potatoes. I know, you thought you were going to get a jam or jelly recipe coming from Smucker's… Don't you worry, I thought I would start with the savory.

Roasted Tri-Color Potatoes

What makes these roasted potatoes special, is that I use three different types of potatoes. Sweet, Russet & Fingerling potatoes are the key to this dish. The secret ingredient that takes it over the top… Crisco Culinary Fusions Garlic & Herb Oils.

Roasted Tri-Color Potato Ingredients

2 – 3 sweet potatoes 

3 russet or baking potatoes

1 lb. of fingerling potatoes

1 1/2 tablespoon of Crisco Culinary Fusions Roasted Garlic oil

1 1/2 tablespoons of Crisco Culinary Fusions Italian Herb oil

4 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley

salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 425˚

roasted potatoes with Crisco Culinary Fusions Oils

Cut potatoes into bite sized cubes uniform in size. Place in a large bowl with generous amounts of salt & pepper, your chopped parsley and the oil. 

add parsley along with salt & pepper

Mix to coat all of the potatoes in the oil and seasoning.

season potatoes with Crisco garlic oil

Pour mixture onto a baking sheet and place into the 425˚ oven.

tri-colored potato roast

Bake for 20 minutes and then remove the sheet from the oven. Carefully toss the potatoes and the return to the oven for an additional 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and test your potatoes to make sure they are done. If they are still a little hard, return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or so. 

Once they are finished remove from oven, sprinkle with salt and let cool for a few minutes. Serve as a side dish for all kinds of meals. You could even serve this as a fun mashed potato alternative at Thanksgiving. The flavored oils make these potatoes taste so good. You have all the flavor from the garlic and the herbs without having to spend the money and go through the hassle of preparing those ingredients each time. I LOVE It!! 

These oils are also really good for marinating meats and veggies before you grill or even use as a dipping oil for bread. They are so versatile. What is your favorite way to use flavor infused oil?

Spring Wreath DIY // Vintage Vignette // Whatever Craft Weekend Part II

3 · May 2, 2013 · 12 Comments

Spring Wreath DIY // WOWZA that's quite a bit to have all in one post!! I have been working on my Spring Vignette for a little bit. Gathering treasures and such, tweaking and rearranging. I finally have a fun grouping to share with you today that's inspired by my Whatever Craft Weekend. Of course it starts with my Winter White Wreath that I will be using all year. I've used it for Christmas, The New Year, Valentine's Day and now I've updated it for Spring!

Spring Wreath from WhipperBerry

All I did was add some fancy yarn and a fabric banner to the wreath. The fabric garland was made by my friend Amy from Ameroonie Designs. I had been trying to find time to put together a fabric garland for the wreath and just hadn't found the time. Luckily, Amy was handing little fabric garlands out to her customers at the Queen Bee Market last month at SNAP and I was sooooo excited… I didn't have to worry about that element anymore! Not that they are hard to make, the issue for me would be to find my sewing machine in the sea of boxes still in my garage. We are in a temporary home right now, so there is no need to unpack everything. Thanks Amy for the rescue!! 

Now, for the full vignette. It was inspired by my Whatever Craft Weekend… Yes, I will be trying to live in that fabulous weekend for the rest of my life I think. Almost everything in the display came from that magical weekend…

Spring Vingnette from WhipperBerry

Isn't it cheerful and fun?! Part of the Whatever Craft Weekend is a fun Junking trip. Meg & Kimberlee have some amazing treasure troves that they share with all of their guest and I had a ball finding all kinds of goodies. 

Lunch at the barn Whatever Craft Weekend

Here are Ashley, Mique, Kristi, Pam and several other friends on our junking tour, Kristi is going ga gah over all the amazing wood available at this amazing junk barn!

I curated a group of fun smaller items like these…

WhipperBerry typewriter

Many of these goodies made it into my vignette… and, I even found a large item that I am head over heels in love with.

shopping at the barn whatever craft weekend

Check out that lovely, chippy bench that Ashley is testing out… yep, it came home with me!! Several friends found some amazing quilts in our antique tour. All of them just divine. I'm not sure if there is anything more fun than junking with several fun friends!

Back to my Whatever Vignette… Here are some of my little elements…

Vintage Typewriter with sign from Katy Girl Design

This typewriter was one of my favorite finds… it was only $30, a total deal! I've paired it with my sign from Katy Girl Designs. You have to run over and check out Katy's shop. Its lovely!!

Vintage Canon Camera

Next, I have a fun biscuit tin as a base for my vintage fan and Canon camera. The camera belonged to my Grandfather and I love having it out on display. It reminds me of his curiosity and love of life and it makes me happy to see it sitting there all day.

antique glass with felted foxes felt balls

I have always been in love with felted balls and have made many projects with them, but I was dying when we opened a whole package from FeltedFoxes during our craft time at Meg's.  I've made felt balls… I even have a tutorial on how to make them. They aren't easy and take quite a bit of time and effort to  make. I think I will just order them from now on from FeltedFoxes and save the time and effort! I love how they look in my emerald Depression Glass… just stunning!

Create sign from Little Branches

I LOVE my new Little Branches CREATE sign. It's just so perfect for my house. I love the colors and the gold accents! It's just so cheery!

Vintage Kodak Camera

I used  fabric in old embroidery hoops to add color and texture to the display and peppered in more cameras from my vintage camera collection.   I'm just so in love with this display. It may stay up for a few months while I soak in all the vintage goodness!

Whatever Craft Weekend // Yea, I won the lottery, well I didn’t per say… Kristi from Barn Owl Primitives did, and she was kind enough to share her winnings! What did we win? A weekend at Meg’s Whatever Craft Weekend!!

What is the Whatever Craft Weekend. Several of you have asked over Instagram. Meg from the blog Whatever, has a house, a magical house that she opens up a few weekends throughout the year for a fabulous craft weekend. Her partner in this endeavor is Kimberlee and together these ladies pull off one of the best girls weekends I’ve ever had. They pampered us (we couldn’t even clear our dishes from the table), they made us laugh and most of all they inspired us! This Whatever Craft Weekend has become so popular in some circles that you have to add your name to the waiting list and then all of the participants are selected by a lottery sysytem. People have been on the list for over a year waiting for a spot. That’s why I feel like one of the luckiest girls out there!!

When we first arrive at the house you’re greeted with a smile and shown your room, and the minutes you walk in you are transported back to when you were a kid and life was just simple and magical…

Mique from 30 Handmade Days and the Queen Bee Market, Kristi from Barn Owl Primitives and Ashley from Little Miss Momma. These girls are amazing and I am truly blessed to be able to call them friends. Once we were settled, threw on our comfy outfits and Kimberlee treated us to her wonderful dinner, we got to work in the studio on our Whatever Craft Weekend Aprons…

These aprons are iconic and so fun to make. Meg has an amazing collection of fabric and goodies to use for all of the projects. Just take a look at one of the supply stations…

I wouldn’t say that I have amazing sewing prowess and this project made me feel like a sewing ROCK STAR!! That’s the magic of Meg’s creation.

If you can sew a straight line you can make this project. It was so fun to see everyone’s personalities come out in their fabric selection. Here are all of our aprons…

Everywhere you turn, you are treated with amazing eye candy. Color, textures and patterns are all over the place. The house is just so happy. The whole weekend truly inspired my passion for making things and in so many ways. For one, I realized I need more color in my life. Like I’ve said before, I think this year is going to be operation add color to my life. We all need color!!

Tomorrow, I’ll share a bit more about our adventures and some of the amazing swag we received.
