Rebecca is the blogger behind Curiosity and Carryon.
Describe your blog:
A travel blog featuring the best to do and eat around the world, as well as feature stories about the people and interactions that make each place special and occasional life musings/lessons that I can’t keep to myself.
What is your favorite post you’ve written or your favorite series/type of post?
I love meeting new people at home in Chicago or while traveling abroad. My favorite posts are the lessons I’ve learned from these people or the places I visit. Whether it’s how to enjoy the sweet life in Rome or that Afghan hospitality is some of the best in the world.
What is something you wish you knew how to do related to blogging?
I really wish I was better at making videos!
Why did you start blogging?
To share my love for people and places across the globe and to provide tips to first time travelers or those looking for extra inspiration or places to eat.
What is your favorite social platform?
Instagram. I’ve found the community to be so much stronger than other platforms, and it’s overall a very positive, supportive group. I also think images are a powerful storytelling tool and draw people in more than a sentence or two of text.
What are a few of your favorite Chicago blogs?
Sparkles & Sprinkles, The Balanced Babe, Chicago Muckrackers, and
Jennifer Claire Photography.
