Welcome to my blog!
I have never thought of starting a blog for several reasons. First, I am not good at writing. No doubt I can write (my job requires me to be able to write) but it is different when it comes to writing blogs especially travel blogs. Next, I don't think I have the time to maintain a blog. So, what prompts me to start having one?! I must be out of my mind!
It all started when I tried to upload my tour photos into a website called www.wix.com. A new friend of mine, SH, who is a blogger herself and a very successful one, sent me a link to the website to view her tour photos. I thought I can do the same and show her my photos too. I set up an account, selected the photos and tried to upload them. Alas, the process was not as easy as I thought. I kept encountering uploading errors. I had to consult DH who said that it could be because of the size of the photos so we went to resize the photos one by one. I thought everything should be okay now, but alas, I was wrong again! I still was not able to upload the photos and DH concluded that there was some server errors. That prompted me to start thinking: perhaps I should upload the photos in a blog instead! Moreover, my children or even my grandchildren can access the blog to read about our adventures! So, it was decided, I should start a blog!
I know nothing about starting a blog, doing the privacy setting, uploading pictures etc. But I decided to go ahead nevertheless. I found the website www.blogger.com and the first thing I need to do is to come up with a name. After a while, I decided to name it "Diary of a travel addict" cause I really love to travel! However, I sort of regretted the use of the word "diary" cause I don't think I will be uploading wordy travelogues. Whoever who reads it will bound to fall asleep!
This blog will instead consists mainly highlights from our trips plus lots of photos. There won't be wordy description or day to day account for the time being. I do keep detailed trip report of each trip but that will consist too many personal stuff which I don't think is very appropriate to put on the net.
If you wish to find out more about a particular attraction, accommodation or food, do drop me a comment! I will try my best to answer your queries. In the meantime, I do hope you enjoy reading our overseas escapades!
