Nice idea, I am still finding places around were I live that are new to me, so blogs that point them out would be very useful

I do backyard blogging… There’s so much to see in and around the UK 🙂

There’s so much to be said for writing about local destinations that you know well. Good post!

Love this post , I am trying to do a mix of content of days out and travel abroad , as much as I would love to be travelling more than we do it isn’t always practical or affordable. There are so many great places to explore close to home too (we are lucky to live in a great part of Scotland) and the kids are happy on a beach whether it is in the South of France or the North of Scotland!

Thank you for this Emma, this is me all over. I was worried that since my husband had an accident that prevented us from going anywhere I haven’t done much “away from home” type travel blogging. But I review attractions in the local area every week so you’ve restored my confidence that I can still call myself a travel blogger.x

Backyard blogging is a great to share your local knowledge with people who don’t have time to explore it in the depth that you do because you live there.

Thanks for this interesting piece encouraging bloggers to realise how much they know without moving far from home. I love travel adventures, but to save cash and keep my family’s carbon footprint lower, I dreamt up a unique stay-at-home travel experience. So far I’ve visited 110 countries… without leaving the UK. I just researched countries I wanted to go too and then tried to find places i had visited locally or wanted to take the kids which gave a similar-ish experience so we went to Edinburgh to find Greece, to the River Orchy to find New Zealand, climbed Skiddaw to get the feeling of climbing Mt Everest and so on (there’s another 86 to “visit”). It’s not as authoritative as Backyard Blogging, though often I make mini trips from my home in London to places I do know well & restaurants are a very good way to travel too – but it does get rid of my itchy travel feet & it’s been pretty good for my two daughters’ geography knowledge (and mine if I’m honest).

This is a great idea, I’ve definitely come across a few blogs who are writing about travelling but it’s clear they’ve never been to the places they’re blogging about. Backyard blogging allows for original content without breaking the bank – I definitely want to try this for the area we moved to last year since we’re still finding our feet.

I love the idea of being a backyard blogger. I definitely fall into this category for my eating out section on my blog as I mainly feature restaurants near to where we live. Just shows you don’t need to travel far to be a travel blogger. Great post Emma x
