Traveling Internationally with Family |
I knew that for my first post on my Facebook page, I wanted to show my audience what the theme of my blog was all about. Instead of giving a little background about myself (which they could just look at on my weebly site anyway), I decided that I wanted to show them a real-life scenario of traveling with young ones as a female. The first post that I made was about a blogger called "Travel Mother." Travel mother is an inspiring woman who travels the world with a family of four. This is very similar to what I did while traveling with my mom to Japan. I wanted my viewers to understand that this IS in fact possible! Traveling with young ones is an amazing experience. I wanted my readers to know that it is possible, and with my own tips on my personal blog page, traveling with children can be made easy! I would love my readers to express some virtual empathy with my first post. Not only can they use it as motivation to travel with young ones, but they can use it as a segway into my personal blog posts about traveling when I was younger. I am happy that my post contains a human touch. I feel as though my readers can truly see what my blog is all about, if they were to first check out "Travel Mother" and learn all about her own experiences as well. Hopefully my first post will help shed some light on the aspect of traveling with young children. I am hoping that I can give back to my readers and audience a glimmer of hope, that traveling with young ones is indeed possible!!
Traveling Alone as a Female
My second Facebook post was all about female solo travel in foreign countries. My second niche blog post was all about how to travel comfortably as a female in foreign countries based upon my own experience traveling in Japan as a solo female with my mom. The Blonde Abroad is a very credible source for travel, therefore I wanted to be able to show what she is all about through my Facebook post for my audience. I wanted my audience to become engaged in my post by informing them about some particular topics when traveling alone as a female. Although we are females, there are some dangers when traveling alone in a foreign country - that is not to say that we shouldn't do it, because women are strong and powerful human beings and should be able to travel alone comfortably. I simply want to inform my readers that there are some things to be aware of when traveling alone as a female, and I feel as though the blonde abroad does a great job of expressing that. Many people can learn a lot from her because she is so experienced! My readers can express virtual empathy with myself and the blonde abroad as they learn more about our experiences traveling as women. I hope that this Facebook inspires women to go out and travel no matter what. Even if you are traveling alone and need to be cautious, it is still important to live your best life and go after what you are passionate about!
Vlog - Traveling with Family and Toddlers
My third Facebook post is one of my favorites. I absolutely love travel mother because she offers real life experience of traveling as a family, internationally with young ones. Her blog amazing because she explains all the places in which her and her family has traveled, as well as tips about how to travel comfortably with young ones. I feel as though my viewers can become truly engaged within this post because I have linked a vlog to her website. The viewers will be able to see what their life is like while traveling with children, and I feel that my viewers will definitely benefit from that. This is a credible source that will also hopefully help my viewers want to travel themselves one day! My viewers can express virtual empathy and compassion with the family because they will be able to see the passion that the family has for traveling through their vlog. Overall, I feel that my viewers will absolutely love this family and their passion for traveling.
Nagoya, Japan - A Hidden Gem
My fourth Facebook post is of a video that I used in my third niche blog post. It is a very calming video about Nagoya, Japan - the city that I once lived in when I was in Japan. I stumbled upon this video and absolutely loved it, so I knew that my viewers would too. The video does an amazing job of capturing some of the beautiful landmarks of Nagoya, and showing how beautiful the city really is. This is a way for my viewers to express virtual empathy. I feel as though Japan is sometimes overlooked as in places that people want to travel. Therefore, by watching this video I am hoping that some of my viewers will want to travel to a place like Nagoya, Japan. By sharing this video, I am giving back to my viewers a better understanding of what Japan is all about. I hope that this video helps my viewers get a better understanding of what Japan is all about, and all of its natural beauty within.

More info. about Nagoya!
My next Facebook post is all about a travel blogger that I have come to love. His name is Matt, and he goes by the blog name "Nomadic Matt." I really loved his blog and I felt as though my viewers would love it too. His posts are all about different places that he has traveled (which is basically anywhere you can think of). My viewers can search through his blog and learn more about Japan, or traveling in general. I would hope that my post about his blog would help to motivate others to share my post as well as his blog in order to inform others about the benefits of traveling alone. As you can tell by his name, Matt travels solo. My viewers can express empathy with him as well as learn from him if they decide that they want to travel solo one day as well!

Successful Travel with Children
I hope that this article that I have posted about on my Facebook page is helpful for families in my audience who in fact are already planning to travel with young ones. This is a New York Times article, therefore I feel as though it is very credible. I feel as though my audience will also be able to relate to the article, if they are the ones who have been or are about to begin to travel with young ones. The article offers insight to families about how to keep their children entertained, whether they are with infants, school children, or anyone else. I think that my audience will gain a lot from this article, which is the main reason as to why I posted it.
More info. about Traveling Alone as a Female!
I wanted to choose this blog to post for my viewers because it gives a different look into the world of solo female travel. I posted about the blonde abroad and her experience with female travel before. However, I wanted my viewers to see how other females may answer and address similar questions about female travel. Some of the questions include "What is one thing that you wish you knew about travel before traveling solo and as a female?" Overall, I hope that my viewers can use this post in order to compare it with the blonde abroad. I feel like they will be able to gain more and larger perspectives about the aspect of female travel if they are to empathize with both of these blogs.

Single-Mother Travel!
Another one of my favorite posts...
I love this post because I can relate to it so much and I want my viewers to be able to relate to it as well. This is a single mother, who travels while working two full time jobs. This is a post that I wanted to use in order to inspire my viewers. I wanted it to show them that they can truly accomplish whatever they put their minds to, and that no dream is ever too large. Even a single mom who works two job still finds time to live the best of her life AND travel at the same time! This is truly amazing. I gained a lot of my own advice and perspectives from her blogs, and I hope that my viewers can express empathy with her and do the same. |
Inspiration
I wanted to post this cute picture because I feel as though it expresses empathy and hope to my viewers. It was the middle of the week when I posted this, and I did that purposefully. I know that the middle of the work week, also known as hump day, can sometimes be a little stressful for people! Working 9-5 jobs every single day cannot actually be enjoyable. Therefore, I wanted to throw a little positive post on my Facebook feed to show my viewers that not every day needs to be 9-5. With travel, your whole entire life can change for the better - and with that being said, no dream is every too big enough if you set your heart to it :)

Traveling Together
I wanted to post this picture that is stating the quote "And then I realized, adventures are the best ways to learn." I wanted to do this because traveling isn't all about fun and games. Travel is about so much more... I cannot begin to express everything that I have learned about the culture of the Japanese, as well as the hardships that the Japanese face. Did you know, that Japanese is the number one country with one of the highest suicide rates? These are things that I have learned from my time in Japan. Traveling in general teaches you things. Especially if you are traveling alone - you are going to learn so much about yourself and the environment around you. I want my viewers to know that they will learn so much, and their perspectives will open up in order to further be morphed into the young adult or adult that you become. It truly changed my life, and I want traveling to change others as well.
