As the name already suggests, dear(travel)diary by C is my travel diary – or in other words: my travel blog. Through my blog, I want to inspire you to discover new places and make planning your next trip just a little easier – with my experiences, tips, and a lot of attention to detail. But what actually makes my blog different from the thousands of others out there?
The idea behind this blog didn’t originally start with the intention of creating a blog at all. It all began with a single document – for our Scandinavian road trip in 2019. At first, I simply wanted to make our own trip easier and started creating a small personal travel guide for us. I love planning and organizing, so I spent hours researching, comparing routes, looking for accommodations, and figuring out which places were actually worth visiting. What started as a small document slowly turned into more and more pages – until it eventually became a surprisingly detailed travel guide.
The idea behind it was simple: I didn’t want to come back from the trip regretting that I had missed something special just because I hadn’t done enough research beforehand. So I spent hours planning and collecting information. After the trip, it almost felt like a waste to leave so much time and effort sitting in a document we would probably never open again. That’s why I decided to share my planning – to help others save time and make preparing for their trips a little easier. And that’s ultimately how this blog was born.
Today, though, the blog goes far beyond planning alone. Now I can enrich every post with my own experiences: Which places are actually worth staying at? Which hikes sound easier than they really are? What absolutely shouldn’t be missed – and what maybe can? So here, you won’t just find inspiration, but also honest impressions, personal experiences, and as many practical tips as possible for your own travels.
And because my life doesn’t revolve around traveling alone, there’s also my “regular” diary: dear(travel)diary. That’s where I write about everything that inspires or occupies me outside of traveling – from photography and study tips to sustainability and the little things in everyday life. There, too, I try to share my own experiences and create as much value as possible for you.
But enough talking for now – take a look around and get inspired. Maybe your next destination is already waiting for you here.
