The product I am recommending is a book by Bailey Richert called "50 International Travel Preparation Tips". This book is available HERE!
It is a short book (about 22 pages) about travel tips that are recommended for international traveling. It is suggested for US citizens for traveling abroad, which is where many of the top destinations are. It includes several travel hacks that will keep you safe, save you money and help avoid frustrating situations while traveling that a lot of people usually encounter. It is printed in English, because it is mainly for the use of US citizens, as mentioned earlier. I would strongly recommend this book, not only for the tips, but because it is free for any Kindle users. What a great opportunity for anyone that has a Kindle. What could be better than a free, educational book on something that you are going to gain so many memories from?!
For anyone that has never traveled before, this is a great beginner book. But for those of you who have traveled, it includes several tips that you may have not known before. It might mention a situation in which you have never encountered, therefore would not know what to do. This book is an excellent read for someone who does not have much time to do their research on the internet for a million tips. It wraps up all of the main suggestions for someone looking to travel, which is what all of you are at least interested in if you are taking a look at my blog.

A Review Post
Since this is a travel blog, I am going to do a review post on a destination that I have visited before: Washington, D.C.
This is not only a destination but a historic place, known as the capital of the United States of America. It was formerly the district of Columbia, which is why it is referred to as D.C. now. It is on the east coast of the U.S.Some places I visited were the U.S. Capitol, the White House, Georgetown University, the Washington Monument, the National Mall, the Smithsonian Museum, the Lincoln Memorial, the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Franklin D. Roosevelt Memorial, the World War II Memorial, ad Ford's Theater.
I had an amazing time in Washington, D.C. There is SO much to do we did not even have enough time to complete it all. My dad and I went last November and were only there for three days and two nights. It is truly an incredible experience to see all of the things you learn about in history books all throughout your lifetime. I never thought that I would get to see them in person.
I would recommend everyone to take a trip there at least once in their life. You will not regret it.
My rating for this destination would be a 10/10. It is good for anyone, even if history does not interest you at all. History used to be my least favorite subject, but seeing these sites was an eye opening experience.

Promote Your Own Website
In this post, I am analyzing my own website, The Storyteller.
Content:
I cover topics related to travel, cheap flights, desired destinations, and tips for traveling safely and efficiently.
Some things I have ignored so far, are the exact prices of flights. This is because they vary from day to day.
I post in first person, because it is my blog and I am the only one writing it.
I would say I am posting at a beginners level because this is my first time posting in a blog and creating my own business.
Reader Engagement:
The topics I feel that generate the most conversations are the places to travel. Many people have different opinions so it is hard to try and come up with a list that suits everyone.
I do not have any comments so I cannot change anything based on feedback.
Design:
My design is based on the template that is "travel." I thought it was pretty appropriate for my topic which is mainly travel.
Something I think I have done poorly on is the content and design of my posts. I usually stay with the normal font and black color. I should try and switch up the font and colors to make it more appealing to readers.
It is hard to analyze my own website because I do not have much feedback to go off of. But I willingly admitted to things that I could improve on and I will try to do so in my next blog posts.

A Link Post
A list from The Travel Channel states the top 14 vacation spots to visit.
These include:
Paris
New York City
Hawaii
Rome
Cancun, Mexico
Orlando
London
Miami
Las Vegas
San Francisco
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
Los Angeles
Branson, Missouri
Puerto Rico
If you research more about these destinations, you will find that they are truly unforgettable. Each one has something special about it. And of course, they are all well known. I can guarantee that you will enjoy your time in each and every one of these places.
Clicking on the link will take you to the website which shows pictures of these beautiful destinations, as well. It shows the famous and well known aspects of each one. You will probably be able to recognize these, even if you have not visited there.
When people think of vacation, they usually think of beaches and relaxation. But these spots do not only include beaches, but historical cities as well. Paris and New York are fashion capitals of the world. There are plenty of places to go and see while you are there. If you are not wanting to travel abroad, the list includes several cities in the United States that are just as appealing.
Traveling creates so many memories and opportunities. For me, personally, traveling really opened up my mind and taught me to be who I really am. I learned to come out of my comfort zone, which I had been stuck in my entire life. It is important, no matter what age you are, to find your true self-- and I believe that is done through seeing different cultures of the world.

A List Post
10 Tips for Pre-traveling
1. Pack Early
Getting started on packing early is a must. Waiting until the last minute to pack will cause unwanted stress and you will most likely forget something important. If you pack early, go through your day-to-day routine and write down everything you use so that you can pack those things last.
2. Check Weather
Make sure to check the weather where you are going so that you can pack accordingly. You wouldn't want to get there with all shorts and tank tops to find out that it is going to be freezing and rainy.
3. Check Flight Itinerary
Make sure to keep checking your flight itinerary to see if your flight has not been cancelled or delayed.
4. Arrive Early
Be sure to arrive to the airport at least 2 hours in advance. You never know how busy it could be or if something has gone wrong. The airports have so many customers a day, they are not going to care about you and your personal problems. They wait for NO ONE.
5. Do Your Research
When traveling abroad, especially, do research on the culture in that area. Not everyone has the same culture as you. This is important because you are going into their country, and would not want to offend them and not be let out of the country.
6. Passport
Be sure you have a passport and that it is up to date. Customs do not mess around when it comes to crossing the border.
7. Flight
Check what you can and cannot bring onto the plane before you leave. You usually have to keep things in small containers and no liquids are allowed. They are very strict on this. You do not want to risk having to throw away something that is valuable to you.
8. Check Again
Check your suitcase again and again. Make sure you are not forgetting anything that you think you would need.
9. Say Good-bye
Don't forget to say goodbye, or see you later, to your loved ones. Don't let the stress of preparing to leave make you forget that you will not see your loved ones for a week or even longer.
10. Have Fun!
Relax and enjoy your flight and just remember to have fun and make memories!
