Cant think of a title
“Travel and tell no one, live a true love story and tell no one, live happily and tell no one, people ruin beautiful things.”
― Kahlil Gibran
Times have changed.
We travel and try to tell everyone.
Why?
Because peoples attention can be turned into wealth, which allows us to travel even more.
Is it really the traveling which makes all those travel blogs so seemingly successful or more that we like the people behind it, which makes us come back and see what they are up to and especially where they are now and what adventures they are up to?
When I was following a couple of blogs it was a mix between everything mentioned above.
The where made me interested in the first place, but shortly after that I needed some sympathie or hate for the person.
Even when the content was repetitive I was still following the person.
I guess this is why "realitiy" TV is such an hit.
Why I think it is lowest form of TV, the Kardashians are in there 16th season.
And no...I dont accept this is a good show
Quality does not equal success
Success does not equal quality
But all the people I follow put quite a bit of themselves out there, talking about there short comings, fears and of course wins as everybody loves a good underdog story..

For some people who live somewhat ordinary lives, they tend to live vicariously through others making entertainment the cheapest for of a “getaway.”

Yeah I think so as well
I agree with you and think, that the personality is about 90 % of the reason, to follow someone's travels. Either it is the humor, a special kind of viewing ankle or just the optical attraction.
If one would only like to see far-off places, you can find those pictures everywhere around.
Maybe it is also seeing someone living the life we would like to have even if it is only some aspects of it.
That is an important aspect as well, I agree.
Sometimes we produce quality but they really do not guarantee success for us, expecially seeing the fact that life's basically can be unfair, hardwork doesn't guarantee returns or reward
No it does not but increases the odds
Das ganze hat einen faden Beigeschmack. Es wird mehr und mehr nur noch das eigene EGO auf der Reise gezeigt, Ich beim Essen, Ich beim Strand, Ich beim Surfen ect ect.... Das leben der Einheimischen und das echte Land und die Erlebnisse fallen hinten runter. Ich kenne das von Sri Lanka sehr gut. Orte wo die toruisten in massen kommen ( im alter von 15- 35 ) und nur weil das foto in Instagram dort gemacht wurde, müssen sie auch ein foto dort machen und posten. auf eigene Ideen und Touren kommen die wenigsten nur noch....
Das ist ja nicht nur auf Reisen so.
Schöne Orte ziehen natürlich die Leute an und ich finde es immer wieder witzig wenn isch Touristen über zuvieel Touristen beschweren.
Die meisten haben denke ich gar nicht so sehr die Motivation und Zeit Land und Leute kennen zu lernen, dass ist natürlich ganz anderes wenn man in dem Land lebt.
Freunde vor Ort findet und dann etwas die geheimeren Spots kennen lernt. Wenn ich 2 Wochen Urlaub habe und danach wieder in meinen shitty Job muss ist meine Priorität wahrscheinlich auch Strand und Entspannen aber zum Glück ist das nicht so.
Vielleicht sind Reiseblogger auch eine Art Zuflucht für manche.
ja, haste auch recht, auf jeden Fall. Das Benehmen der Leute dann ist oft unter aller sau, Tourist zu sein ist kein Freischein sich zu benehmen wie ein Idiot. Urlaub hin oder her
das ist wahr. Sehe ich in Thailand allerdings eine Menge von
