7. FIRST POST
My first post was used to be an
introduction to my blog as a
whole. I talked slightly about
travel and why it is a benefit.

8. SET UP
The first trip I blogged about was
my trip to New Hampshire.
I start each post with a catchy title
that has to do with something
unique from that trip.
I titled this post The Live Free or
Die State because the is NH’s state
motto and they seem to take it
very seriously.
At the end of each post I write up
a summary ending and close with
final statement such as “Good
luck” or “Enjoy”.

Connecticut.
I tried to make my rough story
into a funny recall of events
I talked about my host Jon and
how he tried to show us a good
time but it just turned disastrous
for me.
I wrote about the two good things
during the trip and why id advise

unfortunate adventure in

I feel as though I have succeeded at telling the stories of each trip I
have taken.
I believe that my audience is getting a feel for what I experienced
while also getting a laugh in.
I keep my posts short but still informative.
I plan to continue writing and telling first hand encounters of
different cities and states.
