Stef Rustic starting a blog?? But you’re a filmmaker right? Why are you doing this now?
These are a few questions I’ve been asked already by some of my friends and social media followers on why I want to start a travel Blog and the reason is that I cannot show everything in my videos. So I felt having a blog can help tell a different story, to what you watch online as there are so many stories I want to share with you but just cannot put it all on film, as I would just be editing all day and night turning myself into a pale zombie, who hasn’t seen the sun in weeks. So yes, that’s why I want to start a Travel Blog to share all the saucy details with you that a video cannot, I also want to branch off into the world of writing sharing my little stories through word.
Tayla and I have recently came back from the UAE which is in the Middle East and on arrival back in South Africa I thought to myself there was so much I didn’t share with you and that is when the idea of a blog came to mind! The UAE was amazing and I want to share all my knowledge with you, to maybe make your trip a little smooth when you decide to go and visit.
Abu Dhabi and Dubai were extreme eye openers to me, as their worlds were just so different to the country of South Africa (where i am from). I started to feel a very strong sense of a culture shock with all these different, new people, new rules and also getting use to the heat vs the air conditioning constantly in and out. I managed very quickly to accept and get over my problems, opened my heart to the world and filled it with something magical.
What I want to share in the next few posts will be either stories we experienced or some informative blogs were we talk about how, we have learnt from mistakes so you don’t have to go through the same problems we had to go through allowing you to have a safe and smooth, epic holiday!
So I cannot wait to start sharing my ultimate experiences with you my new readers! Give me sometime in the beginning because I’m still not used to this thing called a ‘blog’, I know ‘Vlogs’ but I’m excited about the new challenge!
Thank you to everyone who gave my first article a read and I cannot wait to get into the travel stories we have here to tell you!
Till next time, explore, love and never settle for normal!
