On the evening of March 16th, at the Travel Fest 2019 tourism promotion festival co-organized by Travellive and Aeon Mall, the "prince of ballads" Quang Vinh and the handsome travel blogger Ly Thanh Co shared with the Travel Fest audience the authentic, even unexpected, stories behind the photos that garnered thousands of likes on Instagram and their travel videos with hundreds of shares.
Singer Quang Vinh and travel blogger Ly Thanh Co (from right to left) share the stories behind what it means to be a travel blogger at Travel Fest 2019.
Besides being a music idol for many generations of 80s and 90s kids, Quang Vinh is also a travel blogger with a series of videos called Quang Vinh Passport, sharing useful travel experiences and information. He believes that anyone who travels wants to capture beautiful moments, so even though creating a travel video requires a lot of effort, he still feels very happy because he can inspire others.
"The scenery is much more beautiful in real life, so you have to experience it for yourself." That's what Quang Vinh emphasized in the talk show. The singer shared that traveling has supported and provided endless inspiration for his songwriting and artistic performances. Therefore, he believes there are "no rules" in becoming a travel blogger because it largely depends on each person's passion and talent. Most importantly, travel blogging shouldn't be considered a profession.
The "singing prince" claims there are "no rules" when it comes to becoming a travel blogger.
Sharing the same viewpoint as singer Quang Vinh is travel blogger Ly Thanh Co. As the author of one of the best-selling travel books, "Youth in Your Wallet, What Can You Buy?", and having traveled to 36 countries, Co also believes that travel blogging should be considered a passion and hobby rather than a profession. Everyone should have a main job with a stable income, and then use that income to pursue their passion for travel.
As someone who dedicates a significant amount of time to developing his travel blog, Cơ says that on each trip, he spends 60% of his time documenting information, taking photos, and filming; the remaining 40% is dedicated to immersing himself in his own personal moments. Because of this philosophy of "experience is more important than numbers," he has visited many of the 36 countries he has traveled to at least twice. Each visit brings him new and enriching experiences.
Travel blogger Ly Thanh Co emphasizes that traveling should be supported by one's primary source of income, rather than treating travel blogging as a profession.
It is known that in the near future, singer Quang Vinh plans to visit Morocco, a land where African and European cultures intersect, to personally experience its famous architectural landmarks and admire its distinctive decorations. As for Ly Thanh Co, Turkey will be his next destination. Although he has been there twice and will soon be visiting for the third time, Co is still very eager to experience even more of the unique cultural aspects of this land where Asian and European cultures meet.
