Creative Outlets

 London: Big Ben

These past two days, I have had some traveler's blues. It tends to just be missing home, and wanting to share moments with friends and family. Traveling solo can be remarkable and sometimes extremely lonely. I have therefore decided to make a tik tok blog/vlog about living abroad. I wanted to create this platform so people can view the world of a solo traveler. I will still write because this is MY platform to have clarity within my own personal mind. 

When I was younger, probably middle school I recall that I always wanted to be a youtuber. I would stand in the mirror talking, about my morning routine, or which mascara would cause the most plump-looking lashes. I never created a channel, because I doubted myself. I thought who would want to watch me? I mean I still think that. Who wants to read a blog based on the thoughts of a 25-year-old. Well, guess what I created the platforms because I need them. I want to reflect and be able to look back at it a year from now and see how I have changed. 

I can tell that it helps, I have had people reach out about certain blog posts and how they too have had similar events happen to them. 

My advice is to create a blog, or vlog or TikTok. If you want to create something do it. Who cares about the views, do it for yourself. See how far you have come and how you have grown.
