Hey folks, long time lurker, first-time poster. I've been blogging for years but never seriously, I just love to write. I currently run two blogs, mostly for fun and with not-so-set schedules.
My older, more popular blog is a personal lifestyle blog where I can write almost diary-like about big issues in my life. I've written about diet changes, my struggles with my day job, and promoted my poetry book on this blog.
My second blog is about my journey toward a nomadic lifestyle and skews toward a specific travel-based niche, think #VanLife vibes. Unfortunately, I stopped posting so much on this blog because of the virus and how it really stagnated my progress, but now I am returning to work on the project and will soon live full-time on the road. The dream for this blog was for it to chronicle the early building and planning process, and then eventually morph into a very niche travel blog.
It just occurred to me that as a full-time traveler, my personal blog could very easily become a travel blog as well. I could find other topics to write about, but I worry that I would always feel like I'm drawing some line in the sand between what is "travel lifestyle blogging" and what is just regular "lifestyle blogging by a traveler." I don't want to feel creatively confined when I sit down to write, always worried about which aesthetic I am trying to fit.
Both of the blogs are simple wordpress .com sites, nothing fancy. Should I just bite the bullet now and consolidate both blogs into one?
