Here are the most common questions I get asked by my readers. If you have another burning question that I haven’t answered please comment on this page and I will add it in for you.

Q. How did you get into travel writing professionally?

Q. Why did you choose to call your blog ‘The Travelista’ ?

A. I’ve got 10 top tips to offer people interested in setting up their own travel blog, but they also apply to all blogs in general too. I wrote about them here . I love to share blogging advice to aspiring bloggers, so make sure you browse through posts in my Life category.
