Questions by Pepper Valentine

1. Tell us your 2021 goals for your blog.

Since I only started my blog in Oct 2020, my goals are quite humble. For 2021, I would like to keep creating more posts that make me and hopefully others smile and interact more with others in the blogging community 🥰

2. How do you plan on implementing your goals for your blog in 2021?

I have been very ambitious for the past 2 months, publishing one blog post a day. I hope to stick to that. Additionally, I love checking in with other bloggers through the comment section and discovering new blogs  at random 🤓

3. What inspires you to write your blogs?

My inspiration comes from other bloggers. I love to find interesting formats and topics from fellow bloggers and create my own version or variation 🎨

4. Why did you begin your blog?

For the last couple of years, whenever someone asked, what I would do if money was not a factor, I would answer that I would be a travel blogger. I love the idea of traveling the world, exploring and sharing those experiences with others. During the pandemic, I finally decided “Why not?” I needed a creative outlet, and starting this blog seemed like a good way to create something and write about something I love 🌍

5. What have you learned about yourself in writing your blogs?

Since my first blog posts took a look at past journeys, I was able to compare and realize how far I have come and grown over the years. I am very proud of that personal journey of growth, discovery and healing 😇

6. What would you change about your blog?

My main goal is to make my blog posts more appealing and intriguing to readers. I love when they spark conversations and a back and forth in the comment section 💭

7. How do you feel about collaborating on your blog?

I love the idea, and have collaborated on a small video with V from My French Chronicles recently. If somebody has an interesting idea to bring to life, I would definitely consider 🧩
