300th Post: My Blogging Journey

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It’s really crazy looking back on this incredible blogging journey. Back in 2013, when I had just come back from living in Guangzhou for a 6-month internship, I did something that would forever change my life. I started writing about my experience living in China. Never could I have imagined this blog would become what it is today.

my blogging journey

My first blog post was published on July 11, 2013 and looks a lot different than my recent blog posts. Not only has my style changed but also the content of my blog. I started writing about my experience in China but have now also built up a wide range of different posts on South Korea, other Asian countries and even places in Europe!

Without further ado, here is a list of my best and most memorable posts out of the 300 posts I’ve published so far during my blogging journey in chronological order from earliest to latest:

Are you thinking about starting a blog? 

When I first started blogging I didn’t believe that people actually wanted to read what I had to say. I think the key to successful blogging is that you find a balance between personal things you share and content that is useful for others! And also good content is the basis for successful blogging. No matter what you think or what others say, if you’re thinking about blogging, just do it! You’ll be surprised how many people are interested in reading about other people’s lives 🙂
