How was it
made?
Naida McIntosh for CUL30111, 2 Dec 2014

2. Creating the blog
＠ THEME: Independent travel for older
women: 60+yrs client unsure of travelling
on her own.
＠ I used a ‘travel’ template on blogger to
match the theme.

3. beginning the blog
＠ I used the web to
search for resources
by key word.
＠Solo, senior, traveller,
women…

4. 1. Finding blogs
＠Key words such as
‘senior traveller’, ‘solo
women traveller’, ‘women
travellers’ resulted in:
 A forum on Trip Advisor
for Senior Travel.
 And a professional blog,
Solo Traveler.
＠when I got stuck I used different
key words.

5. 2. Image:
＠ On the Inspired
Travel website, a
photo meant to
inspire women to
travel – on their
own.
＠ There are not many photos of
women older than 25 travelling
on their own…

6. 3. Video database:
＠ On Youtube, by
searching for
‘travel tips for
women’.
＠ Youtube is a social
media tool for
sharing video
uploads.

7. 4. Social media:
＠ On Slideshare, finding a presentation
supporting ‘solo women travellers’.
＠Slideshare is a social media tool
for sharing Powerpoint
presentations.

8. 5. Other source:
＠ A brochure from a travel agency was my last
source – something tangible for my client to look
at and show others.
& recording
＠iSnavinfgo linkrs inm Dealicitousion:
＠ Creating a folder for Internet Links
＠ Creating a folder for blog info
＠ Saving information directly into my blog
as I came across it – creating references
at the time of viewing.
＠ Using Slideshare to upload docs.

9. Analysis
＠I analysed the sources for relevancy, currency, and
whether they were genuine sources or not.
＠It was difficult finding social media sources by
influential older women travellers.
＠Changing key words to broaden searches helped a
lot.
＠Older women need to become more confident
uploading info to social media.
