Starting a travel blog is the best decision I’ve ever made.

Through this site, I’ve funded ten years of full-time travel and gained a book deal for my travel memoir, along with a big New York City agent. I’ve been featured in large newspapers, like the Wall Street Journal, the Independent, and the BBC. I’ve been interviewed on the radio in front of an audience of 1.6 million listeners. I make a comfortable six figures each year in entirely passive income, meaning the money comes in whether I’m working or not.

And yet, before starting Never Ending Footsteps, I had zero writing experience, had no idea how to run a website, didn’t really know what a blog was, and had never heard of WordPress.

I didn’t even own a camera.

I’d just graduated from college with a physics degree and was fully intending to throw myself into a career in particle physics — that is, after I took a year-long round-the-world trip.

Guys, I’ve now been travelling full-time for ten. freaking. years. That’s ten years of travel paid for entirely through this travel blog. I want to cry when I think about it.

But success to me isn’t just about the money, the book deal, and media mentions.

Running Never Ending Footsteps has led to life-changing friendships with some of the most fascinating and inspirational people I’ve ever met. It’s taught me dozens of new skills and helped me conquer a multi-year battle with anxiety and an eating disorder. I even found my boyfriend of nine years through my travel blog!

So yeah, I’d say starting a travel blog was the best decision I’ve made.

There are approximately seventeen bajillion articles describing how to start a travel blog out there and I hesitated throwing my take into the mix for many years because of it. After reading several of these articles and cringing my way through them, though, I couldn’t hold back. I wanted to write an article about how you can actually set yourself up for the best chances of success. I want to show that you can build a six figure business without selling out. That you can be unconventional and embrace your weirdness and find a community of people who love you — without going broke.

You don’t need to do what everyone else is doing — in fact, I recommend actively avoiding it. In a space so crowded as the travel blogging world, you should stand out and that’s why my guide is the one you should follow. It’s one that’s based around what will give you the best chances of success in 2020.

And just a quick note here to announce I’ve just launched a limited number of travel blogging mentorship opportunities! Once you’ve signed up, I’ll brainstorm with you to find the best name for your site, help you get everything set-up, and ensure you’re choosing a modern theme that will resonate with your readers. Most importantly, I’ll make sure you’re perfectly set up to start earning real money from your site from the very first day. I’ll typically spend ten hours a month on your blog, treating it as though it was my own, answering any questions you have, sharing advice on how to fast-track your success, teaching you how to grow a passive income, and passing on everything I know about SEO, affiliate marketing, and how to build a six figure business. 

With that out of the way, let’s get started!
