BEHIND THE BLOGAZINE:7 Minute Travels with Irvin Fong

“ If I lived here, would I come here often? Would I take friends here? ”

Those are the two questions I ask myself when deciding on where to visit when traveling. As a result, I often miss out on “tourist traps”. Thus, planning a trip means copious research.

Lists are often no good when planning itineraries personally. Indeed, blog posts primarily fuel my desire to wander as I hear a voice and understand exactly why a place was so enchanting, and possibly not for me. So whereas I forget most of my travels involving daily checking out and tour buses to wonderful places, the gems found through blogs always bring back warm, vivid memories.

Therefore, I am adding my voice to the mix, to do my part in exciting and igniting a sense of wanderlust, along with sharing the lessons I have learned along the way. But not through lists, nor through photo galleries— there are many great individuals out there with better writing, experience, and equipment. Instead I will blend reflective writing with photos and visuals into hopefully fresh, fun, and immersive experiences.

I hope my voice will resonate with some of my readers and make this project even more worthwhile.

Happy traveling~
