旅遊影音部落客TRAVEL VLOGGERS

盡情探索世界、盡快與你分享Exploring the world and sharing their discoveries

很多人渴望能到世界各地旅行，但並非人人有機會這麼做。

即使得以前往旅行的人可能也喜歡看看別人的旅遊經驗。

這些實際情況說明了「旅遊影音部落格」受歡迎的原因；旅遊影音部落格也就是網路影片，通常是一般民眾自己拍攝旅遊時的情景並且在影片中談論自身經歷。

旅遊影音部落客來自許多不同國家，亦處於不一樣的人生階段。

有單身的旅遊影音部落客、有一起旅行的夫妻伴侶，甚至有全家出動的。

有些影音部落格聚焦在像是烹飪美食這樣的特定旅遊面向；有些則專攻刺激驚險的活動。

例如，有一個叫伊娃‧祖貝克的影音部落客便拍下自己孤身一人騎馬長途跋涉穿越蒙古的影片。

有些影音部落格還會涵蓋像是打包這樣的旅遊實際面訣竅。

許多影音部落客的部分動機是來自於希望別人會被自己的影片所啟發，繼而開始旅行。

特別是對那些人生階段正處於旅行讓人望而生畏的民眾而言，更是如此。

舉例來說，許多父母覺得不可能帶孩子一起旅行。

然而，家庭旅遊影音部落客所呈現的，恰好和大多數人所想的相反，家庭旅遊是可行的，甚至對孩子很有益處

Many people long to travel the world, but not everyone has opportunities to do so. Even those who do get to travel may enjoy watching others' experiences. These facts help account for the popularity of travel vlogs, online videos where ordinary people film themselves while traveling and talk about their experiences.

Travel vloggers come from many different countries and stages of life. There are single travel vloggers, couples who travel together and even families. Some vlogs focus on specific aspects of travel, such as cuisine.

Others specialize in adventurous activities. For example, one vlogger named Eva zu Beck recorded herself trekking on a horse through Mongolia by herself. Some vlogs also include tips for the practical side of travel, such as packing.

 Many vloggers are motivated in part by the hope that others will feel inspired by their videos and start traveling. This is especially true of those who are in a stage

of life where travel may seem intimidating. For example, many parents don't think it's possible to travel with their children.

However, family travel vloggers show that, contrary to popular belief, it is possible and even good for kids.
