50 Topics to Blog About When You CAN’T Travel
50 topics to write about when you're not traveling!! Let’s face it! Now is not the time anyone is out and about, exploring new places and overall just traveling. At this time it is difficult to always write about past travel memories as there are so many more pressing issues in the world.
I understand the need to have uplifting content and posts that let the mind wander. But I have to admit I have those days where I have to have a blog post written within the next hour and I have NO CLUE what I am going to write about. So I decided to compile a list of ideas that are useful to travel bloggers. Things that you can write about when you're traveling, when you're not traveling and when you just don't have the resources to travel. Or perhaps like right now, being in the midst of a pandemic.
Make sure to save this post and come back to it if you have no clue what your next post is going to be about. These tips serve a good starting point! Not only this, but you don’t have to have traveled within the past 6 months to write about lots of the topics. Remember to let your imagination run wild.
