This is a minor update on the progress of this travel destination blog project. The effort and time I’m investing in setting up for the project’s launch is significant, reflecting my dedication and passion for this endeavor. Currently, I am setting up a Pinterest board to expand my reach and visibility. Also, I am gathering much content and working on hashing out other ideas.
Recently, I started my day determined to get out and take photos and videos and formulate the ideas for this blog. First, I drove to Lompoc, which has the cheapest gas in the area, so if you’re traveling on Highway 1, you should try to fill up there if you can.
Once I had gotten some gas, I proceeded to look for a place to get some coffee; that’s when I started finding out that it’s not that easy to look up on Google. Yes, you’ll get search results, but how helpful is it really when you’re trying to find a good cup of coffee in a place with comfortable seating so you can sit and get some work done, (wi-fi is a must), and maybe grab a bite to eat. It is a research project, especially when you only want a cup of coffee in a pleasant environment.
That’s when it became apparent that there was an information gap in the offerings of the mighty Google. What happens when you type in ‘coffee shops with comfortable seating and wi-fi’? I decided to dedicate a section of my blog to coffee shops so travelers can find a good one that will fulfill their needs, adding a personal touch to the project.
Later, I took a drive south on Highway 1 to Isla Vista, where the UCSB is located—previously unknown to me up until that point in my exploratory adventures. The charm of the town and the unexpected discovery of UCSB added a new level of excitement to my explorations. It seemed to be quite a charming town, and since I had no real plan when I went there, I did not get many photos or videos. But I will visit again and go there with a plan to find the tourist attractions, adding to the thrill of my future explorations.
