In the 5+ years I’ve been blogging, I don’t think I’ve ever outlined a set of goals on here in line with the start of a new year. I’m personally kind of weird when it comes to goal setting at the start of a calendar year…I appreciate the idea of a blank slate and enjoy the seemingly universal motivation around getting off on the right foot, but it’s easy for the best intentions to fall by the wayside quickly and there’s no reason not to set goals mid-year, you know? That being said, we’re taking care of so many logistics at home right now (we cut cable last night, booked train tickets for our upcoming trip, downloaded a new budgeting app, purged a lot of unnecessary things, and more) so it feels natural to check some boxes for the blog, too. Here are five (fairly broad) goals I have for my site + brand in 2019…
Continue to flesh out my travel content.
I love creating travel content and am looking forward to doing even more of it this year! We’re heading to London + Edinburgh in March and have the wheels turning for a few other trips in the US, too. I’m crossing my fingers that we’re able to squeeze in at least one more international trip, too, but we’ll see!
In addition to my trip recaps, you may have noticed that I love sharing hotels, too. I haven’t stayed at the majority of the properties in my Around the World series, but have had the opportunity to partner with some great places over the past couple of years. These types of collaborations can be tricky–sometimes it’s nice to go on vacation and not feel obligated to “work,” since doing a press stay definitely comes with a time commitment in the way of coordination, on-site photos, and often times, a meeting. However, I feel really lucky to have these partnerships come my way and love being able to experience something first-hand and share all the details (and my own photos!) with you guys. I’m hoping to do a couple more of these collaborations in 2019.
