It’s that time of the year when we either explore new destinations or brush up on our favourite art. Whether we reminisce over our favourite holiday memories or capture them on canvas, we like to get it picture-perfect or video perfect. How about taking up vlogging to keep our memories intact and safe and in a place where we can share them with everyone?

What’s the one thing we can learn during our summer holidays that can change the course of our life? Gone are the days when we travelled just to satiate our taste buds and kept a travel diary. We are in an age of technological advancement and we must familiarise ourselves with technology wisely and creatively. Vlogging is a surprisingly affordable and attainable modern-day hobby for anyone who has the personality and enthusiasm for it.

The word ‘vlog’ is a portmanteau of video and blog. A vlog showcases video content in the casual tone of a blog. Vlogging is nothing but blogging in the form of a video. Just like blogging, through vlogging, too, we can express our thoughts. Today, anyone can turn any passion or hobby into a successful vlog.

Vlogging is more than just a fun hobby or a creative outlet. People even make good money doing it, although not everyone. But don’t be disheartened if you aren’t able to do so initially. If not for monetary gains, you can be sure of the fun and creativity involved with this fast-growing hobby.
