How to create a travel vlog?
The first step is to dare
At first it can be complex or scary to start creating content, but a video blog is one of the most fun activities and it will bring out your most creative side from the beginning.
First you must think about the topic that you will show in your content, be patient to get inspired because this will be the essence of your video blog.
Once you have defined the theme and the audience, focus on the name of your vlog.
Preferably it does not exist and it is short, striking (original) and easy to identify.
The very theme of the content will guide you towards the choice of name and graphic style.
Here let your imagination run wild.

The first impression is the most important
Vlogging is a powerful communication tool that shares specific information with visual resources and is capable of going around the world.
Regardless of the topic, situation or location, high-quality and trend-oriented audiovisual content will have great potential to attract audiences quickly.
To start your vlog you can use your cell phone camera or bet on a more versatile action camera like the GoPro Hero 10 Black (
USD$488 /
MX$ 10,299 and months without interest), which we chose in CNN Underscored in Spanish as our favorite for 2021, or invest a little more money in a larger camera, although recording during extreme sports may not be so simple.
Capture the best of your travels or whatever comes to mind.
Remember that you can only show those images or you can also tell how you lived day to day in a unique way and intersperse it with the recording.
Your attitude and effort will click with your audience.
Exploit your creativity
Now that you have found the name, the theme and the best ally to film your vlog, now is a good time to start the action.
Get to work.
You will be responsible for the tone of communication in each of the pieces;
remember that you have the freedom to invent what gives you the most personal satisfaction.
Tips for starting your podcast and the best team to do it
Do everything you can think of: record your sports exploits, tell the world every moment of your travels.
You can also make journalistic documentaries, general interest documentaries or simply sit in front of the camera in the comfort of your home and give advice on a specific topic to the public.
it's time to edit
The best news is that you can edit the material yourself.
If you want to edit on a computer, we recommend Adobe Premiere and don't worry if you don't know much about the program, you can find plenty of tutorials on YouTube.
The best Roku devices: from streaming to soundbars
If you don't have enough time to sit at the computer, an app can be a huge help in getting the process done.
We recommend using Quik, which is available for iOS and Android.
Take advantage of its functions to easily make transitions, put various filters, changes in speed settings, subtitles and more.
This application helps you to edit videos taken with your cell phone, action cameras and more.
