★★ THRILLING TRAVEL★★

Why did you start THRILLINGTRAVEL?

It had become a norm for my co-workers and friends to ask me for advice on places. I found myself giving them tips and suggestions based on my own experience. It was during one such conversation that a friend remarked that I should start my own travel website and so, came in Thrilling Travel. The website shares my experience along with tips and suggestions on various destinations across the world.

For me, travel has been a part of my life since I was a kid. It has been something that gets me excited enough to get up at wee hours of the morning. The adrenaline rush of seeing new places refreshes me and keeps me going for days together- even after I have come home. As a corporate employee, I made use of my long weekends to take a break from the monotonous routines and now as a full time travel writer and blogger, I enjoy it as a key aspect of my job.

    The journey of TripSurpriser started in 2016 with 4 friends, all a part of the same social circle. All of us were absolute travel enthusiasts – we took a lot of interest in planning trips for friends, family etc in our individual capacities. We believed in the travel industry, we were passionate about it and we knew it was ever growing and that we to wanted to be a part of it – but just wanting to be a part of it was not enough, so we though what extra could we do? That’s when we thought of adding a differentiating element, by bundling travel with the element of surprise – and that’s how we came up with the concept of TripSurpriser.

    Imagine the adrenaline rush one gets when they know, they have to travel + and they know they’re in trusted hands. We ran a survey with 500 ppl, and discovered that the results were skewed in our favour between the age group of 25-40, if we offered a unique specialisation in the idea by sending people to off-beat and undiscovered locations, locations which are typically not available easily on travel portals, that’s when we would get the edge.

    So we took a leap of faith and started it, ever since then its been a lot of learning, a lot happiness, dealing with some amazing customers, we’ve made mistakes and we’re still learning. We’ve got featured in the Hindu, TOI, Pune times, delhiplanet, whatshot Bangalore without shedding a rupee, I don’t think we have any regrets whatsoever!!

Travelers used to spend lots of time in preparing the best itinerary for holiday but due to scattered information across the net they always end up in confusion and choose the wrong package which is not matching their taste or budget. Sometime travelers are misled by false promotional offers. We believe automation and “do it yourself” booking systems will always provide hassle free experience in booking but it can not help travelers to choose the best matched itinerary as experienced consultants could.

    Based on the current situation its very hard to advise people for travel and exploration of the world but if one take security measures properly and enough passion for travel I think they should start the travel from local areas instead of international travel. back in 2015 I started traveling locally to explore my own country where I used to take my little family every Saturday to the nearest city of my country and we explore the city as much as we can in 2 days.

    I recommend doing same for everyone. most people love to travel internationally and wanted to explore other languages cultures heritage and so one but they failed to under their own culture people religion and much more. I believe in traveling starts from home 😀

    Why did you start EATSLEEPLOVETRAVEL ?

    We started EATSLEEPLOVETRAVEL as an outlet to share our travel adventures. We had always read blog posts prior to taking any trip and thought others may benefit from our experiences when deciding where to visit and what to do. As frequent travellers who also have full-time jobs, we wanted to show aspiring travellers that it is possible and give advice and tips regarding how it can be achieved.

    Your advice to the young travelers and bloggers there outside

    Our advice is to write down as much as possible while travelling in order to write well informed and detailed blog posts. We have found that people enjoy reading about personal experiences and recommendations. One of the major things we have learnt is that even the most random of destinations which you may not have even considered visiting usually have a lot of great places to visit. Another major piece of advice we would give is to work out a travel budget. By doing this it allows you to determine where you can visit and for how long.

    Can you give a brief introduction of yourself and your passion for Travel?

    We have both travelled extensively from a very young age and have recently hit the 75 country mark. We both have a passion for travelling, learning about history and other cultures, together with trying new cuisines. We believe our shared passion for travel not only makes us work as a couple but also as travel companions. We have similar interests which always helps when on the road as we usually want to visit the same places, historic sites and attractions. We went on our first date to Florence, Italy at the beginning of 2007 and as they say, the rest is history.

    a) Work hard and don’t expect something for nothing. Blogging can be a full-time job if you want to make a success of your site. We are in the position now where we undertake paid work and are invited on press trips. This (usually) doesn’t happen straight away and you must be patient and keep creating content.

    b) Engage on social media. Social media is a great tool for self-promotion and driving traffic to your site. It is also a great way to connect with fellow travellers and people with similar interests. Our use of social media has lead to a number of opportunities which we are very thankful for.

    c) Envolve. We established eatsleeplovetravel in 2014, we and our lives have changed a lot since then and that’s ok. When we first started we were very budget-conscious travellers. Personal circumstances and the opportunities we have been given because of the blog now means we are no longer those travellers. As long as you are honest and genuine, your followers and subscribers will understand and continue with you on your journey.


    ★★ PRACTICALWANDERLUST★★

    Why did you start PRACTICALWANDERLUST?

    We started Practical Wanderlust for two reasons: first, we wanted to keep my friends and family in the loop during our year-long honeymoon. And second, we wanted to give back to the community of travelers who had helped provide all of the information we needed to plan that once-in-a-lifetime trip! Without the first-hand experience and helpful information of other travelers that we found online, we may never have actually taken the leap and quit our jobs to travel for a full year. We wanted to give back to that community by sharing our own experiences and on-the-ground travel advice as we backpacked through South America. We never imagined that our blog would ultimately grow and be read by millions of readers every year!

    Your advice to the young travelers and bloggers there outside

    The hardest part of blogging is just getting started and publishing that first blog post. It actually took me a full two years to publish the first post on Practical Wanderlust! When I first started the blog, I didn’t understand how to use WordPress and somehow managed to break the site while I was still setting it up. It sat as a sad, empty, white screen for 2 full years until I finally dusted it off and tried again. The second hardest part of blogging is continuing to publish posts – if you’re still blogging after a year, you’ve already gotten further than the majority of bloggers ever do. Just keep going! And remember, it doesn’t have to be perfect – every single blog in the history of blogging started out as a terrible, crappy site with short, poorly written posts and blurry cell phone photos. It’s basically a rite of passage.

    Can you give a brief introduction of yourself and your passion for Travel?

    We’re Lia and Jeremy, the accident-prone travel bloggers behind Practical Wanderlust. We got married in 2016, quit our jobs, and left on a year-long honeymoon. Although Lia grew up traveling, Jeremy had never left the time zone he grew up in! Our honeymoon was basically a disaster, but we had fun anyway. Today, we’re settled back down in Oakland, California and travel frequently Jeremy is a high school teacher and Lia works on our blog and podcast full time sharing our passion for travel with millions of blog readers each year – and helping them avoid making all of our terrible, terrible mistakes.

    Can you share your 3 major secrets which made your site this much successful?

    First and foremost, we ensure that all of our posts are deeply informative and incredibly detailed. We research and fact-check everything we include in our blog posts – when it comes to travel, inaccurate information isn’t just an annoyance, it can also be a safety hazard! Secondly, we make sure that our posts are as entertaining to read as they are informative, because nobody wants to spend 45 minutes of their life reading a boring-a** blog post. And third, we put our readers first and foremost and prioritize creating value for our audience above all else.
