Greetings my friend! Trying to catch up a bit and was happy to read along with how you are doing on your vacation.

”However, it is so funny to reflect on my approach at life these days as I find my self taking pictures and thinking of posts to write and share here on Steem. So while I go and have these great experiences, my mind is how great some will be to share.”

I smiled at this, as I could definitely relate. On my trip, I found myself stopping to take some picture I was passing, which would not have been my normal practice prior to being on the Steem blockchain writing about it. Good in some ways, as it forced me to capture more images and video to reinforce memories. At times, I wasn’t sure about it, as it felt a little too close to work and meeting deadlines … 😊

”Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to really study what a real Travel blog looks like to share some of these photos. So, I will make a somewhat sub-amateur effort to share my travel so far!”

I thought you did fine. I’ve left a few tips below …

Your description of the city of Cartagena and “Land of the Bomb” island … 😉 … were fun to read, picturing you and your family enjoying it. As well as your eye for all of the business activity present in the area. It is a good thing to know there is some prosperity in that part of the world. In nearby Venezuela, God knows, they are doing very poorly …

Glad to know you are enjoying a great time away @newageinv. I hope it will ultimately be a great lifetime memory for both you and your family!

P.S. To reach the travel community on the Steem blockchain, the recommended tags I got from a “seasoned veteran” were #travelfeed and #traveldigest. My 5 tags, during my R2R series of posts were - #travelfeed #traveldigest #photography #life #blog. Also, when you can tie them to one location, like Cartagena in this post, you want to “pin it” to SteemitWorldMap. Overall, these were the best supported posts I’ve written on the Steem blockchain.

P.P.S. Speaking of “best supported,” appears you’ve done something right in the eyes of BlockTrades. Good for you! 👍
