I recently began snooping around this site for other bloggers, and I stumbled upon one that caught my attention. He is a man by the name of Sam Parkman. I began looking through his posts, and I must say, I was impressed with the creativity and photographic elements of his blog.
When reviewing his content, I noticed that he focused on exploration of the world around him, but he did it with an approach that is unconventional for travel bloggers of our time. He simply explores the sites right where he lives. I think working with what you have like this is very commendable, since we seem to live in a world that conforms to popular social media trends. The famous travelers of our day all seem to have unlimited money and resources, and go to far-flung places that ordinary people could not afford.
Parkman lives in London, and is simply exploring this historic city and bringing it to his followers. I thought this idea was very creative, and I like this homegrown approach. His site was very visually appealing, and he is not just posting about random monuments and scenery. He also engages his audience with current events and other forms of social media.
Perhaps I will have to make a habit of routinely exploring the outlets of other travelers and photographers. Getting new views and approaches is always good for those of us seeking to be creative. You should go check him out. If you wish to follow him, here is a link to his site. He is also active on Twitter, and his username is octstw.
