Be skill savvy
I’m 18 and aspire to be a travel vlogger, but I’m told my ambition of getting free luxury stays and premium flight tickets is misplaced. Isn’t that how all travel vloggers live?

I’d focus on building a unique skill first rather than your end game. The people who make a career in this space do so by being excellent videographers, photographers or storytellers that add value to an audience that follows them. If you build an audience using your skills, you can connect with travel brands who will value what you bring.
