We’ve been starting the year right so far. A co-blogger has nominated When In My Journeys for the Blogger Recognition Award and it is such an honor.

How my blog got started
For the longest time, I have had this thought of going on an adventure around the Philippines starting from its Northernmost province to its Southernmost tip, but to no avail. And then that fateful day came, my first solo travel in Coron re-ignited my love to explore places and here I am now sharing my adventures with you. I still have a long way to go but it’s already a work in progress. Read more of it here.
Advice
I am fairly new to blogging myself and I am not claiming to be an expert. But I can say that I have learned a few things for the past few months that would be useful for those who wanted to start and set up their own space in the web.
Be Committed – You have to have commitment and be hard working to make your blog work – just like any other job, you have to put yourself into it.
Do Not Stop Learning – When you think that you already know everything, think again. Follow other bloggers, both experienced and newbies like yourself. Read their posts and understand their style of storytelling. Get inspirations from their work, then customize it and put in your own spin.
My nominees are:
CHASEJASEPH – Jase hopes that his stories would be able to inspire others to explore boundaries too just like he did. He uses his blog as an instrument to reach out to people and tell them what he can’t say in actual conversations. Check out Jase’s blog as he shares his travels, food trips and other life events.
#JAMIELIBOTS – A blog by couple Jr and Jam who both have the passion for traveling and backpacking. It serves as their personal diary of their most cherished travel experiences. Join them as they go around the Philippines one destination at a time.
