The Journey Begins: The Story Behind ‘The Creation of Us’ Travel Blog

Dear travelers,

Welcome to my travel blog, The Creation of Us! I am so excited to launch this blog after months of work finally. I’m still new to this, so please go easy on me. I’m always learning and improving, I hope my blog will do the same.

How it all started?

It all started as a playful joke, then evolved into an idea, and now it’s a reality. I have to admit, I couldn’t be happier (if I said I’m not shedding a few tears of joy, it’d be a fib, but hey, they’re happy tears).

I used to joke that someone who explores the world and captures its beauty in photos should share those moments and memories. So, my friends thought, why not me? It’s not about me being in the spotlight; it’s about the journeys, the advice I can offer, and the experiences I can share. After all, the best lessons often come from others’ mistakes, right? So, let this be your chance to learn from me.

Naming the blog.

As for naming the blog, my initial ideas were all taken on Instagram, and honestly, they weren’t that great. I needed something unique that reflected who I am. Then, after seeing a sneaky photo from the Sistine Chapel (you know, “The Creation of Adam”), it hit me: “Why not play around with this masterpiece?” And so, “The Creation of Us” was born. It’s all about the creation of shared memories, lasting experiences, and the journey we’re all on.

The logo.

Now, for the logo. During the lockdown, I had a tattoo appointment that got canceled. I had always loved the idea of getting a tattoo of Michelangelo’s “The Creation of Adam,” but I wanted to put my own spin on it. So, I still had the draft for the tattoo.

When I came up with the blog name, I decided to use it as a logo. Funny twist, a few years later, I finally got that tattoo. It’s a dear one to my heart. Even though I really like the first logo, I realized it’s a bit too complex and not closely related to travel. So, I decided to go with something simpler. I created this new logo where “TC” has a double meaning: it stands for my initials and “The Creation.”

Format of the blog & inspiration.

I’ve decided to make my blog a bit different. Instead of a typical blog format, each post will be written like a letter. I think it adds a personal touch and brings me closer to you because I want to be your go-to buddy for travel tips and ideas. My aim is not just to share my adventures and advice but to build a travel community.

Lastly, the inspiration for my menu divisions comes from “Eat, Pray, Love.” I have rewatched it before my trip to Naples, and if you’ve seen it, you know that scene with Julia Roberts devouring Neapolitan pizza. That’s pretty much how I’d describe savoring life and the “Dolce Vita.”

So, it’s all about eating, traveling, and loving, dear travelers.

Truly yours,

The Creation of Us
