In today’s travel blogging tips article I’m delighted to be able to share with you the thoughts of Robert Schrader, the creative talent behind Leave Your Daily Hell.

Robert believes that travel should be something that everyone is able to experience, regardless of income, and his site focuses on how folk can travel more for less. Robert also manages to generate around half his income from his travel blog. Let’s find out more about his approach to travel blogging, and his tips for success!

Cheers! My blog has just turned two, which as far as I can tell, means it’s about ready to walk and talk on its own. Kindergarten is probably just around the corner.

To mark the occasion, I’ve written this shamelessly self congratulatory post (the 331st post of the site!), to celebrate the fact that my blog and I have successfully orbited a giant nuclear furnace twice.

Normally at around this point in the speech, one would turn outward and thank all the people who made this possible. Luckily that’s very easy for me, because you are right there.

I spent a year traversing the vast nation of Australia by four wheel drive, and in that time I took in some absolutely spectacular sights.

I was asked to put together a guest photo post by the wonderful Samuel of travel blog Nomadic Samuel, on a theme of my choice, and I thought I’d share some of my favourite shots from Australia with his readers.

So, if you want to grab an eyeful of fifteen of my favourite shots from Australia, including that one of Uluru above, check out the post here!

I recently undertook a 3000km round trip across Europe for entirely unexciting reasons. Unless sorting out stuff in a loft you’ve not been in for four years counts as interesting. This trip allowed me two things. One, lots of time to listen to Abba, as my Mum was in charge of the music selection. Two, lots of time to think of adventures to relate. And it occurred to me that you might like this story, about a slightly unfortunate boat ride I once took…

In today’s travel blogging tips interview I’ve been able to grab hold of Cailin O’Neil, the writing and video talent behind no less than three travel blogs covering her life, her travel stories and food. There was me thinking one site was hard enough to run!

Cailin is the first person I’ve interviewed in this series to focus heavily on video as part of her work, and her dream is to have and host her own travel series. A dream that is quickly becoming a reality! Read on to find out more about what motivates Cailin to do what she does, and how she finds time to fit everything in.

When I arrive in a new city, I have a bit of a thing for finding the highest point around. This is for two reasons: first, because I like a good view, and second, in an attempt to orientate myself.

The orientation part only vaguely helped on my recent trip to Barcelona. The city is seriously maze like, particularly the old pedestriansed parts of the city centre. However, since wandering around maze like alleys getting lost is another thing I enjoy about a city, that wasn’t really a terrible issue.

If you’re heading to Barcelona, and like me have a tendency to head for the high points of a city like a fly that’s been taken over by a brain controlling fungus, here’s a quick run down of my four favourite places to get a great view of the city for free!

We had a huge storm go past recently. That’s it coming in the photo above. I thought I’d use it to try out some time lapse photography, which I’ve never really done before. The video of that attempt is embedded below.

Today, I’m going to do one of my rare technology themed posts. I’m writing about what I’d like to see from my technology in the coming years. Don’t worry. I’ll be back to talking about the rest of the world’s awesomeness soon enough.

I’m not one to complain. I already have the equivalent of a 1970’s supercomputer available to me in my pocket (there’s a joke there somewhere), with a great percentage of the worlds knowledge available a mere few screen taps away.
