INTRO (SHORT)

3–5 paragraphs max.

Structure:

1. What kind of travelers this route is for
2. Your overall philosophy
3. Fast overview of route
4. What worked well
5. CTA

Example:

This route is ideal for couples, long-term travelers, and first-time backpackers who want a balance of adventure, affordability, flexibility, and comfort without moving too fast.

Over X weeks/months, we traveled through [country] using a mix of buses, trains, flights, ferries, rental cars, and motorbikes while keeping our budget around $100/day for two people.

Some places surprised us. Others felt overrated. We changed plans constantly as we traveled, extended stays when we loved somewhere, and slowed down whenever burnout started creeping in.

Below is the exact route we took, what worked, what didn’t, and what we’d change if we did it again.

Then CTA:

IMPORTANT — ADD “ROUTE LOGIC”

This is your secret weapon.

Most travel bloggers only say:

“Here’s a place.”

You should explain:

WHY this place fit into the route.

Examples:

• broke up long transit days
• recovery stop
• cheaper base
• visa timing
• weather timing
• proximity
• hiking access
• better food
• avoiding burnout
• slower pacing

THAT is valuable.

That’s what makes you planners instead of tourists.
