Just a Traveler
Website Milestones
Official Launch
I started this blog to document my life abroad and travel experiences across the globe. Looking back now, the original website design was quite a disaster! (laughs)
500,000 Total Views
While the traffic was still modest, watching the blog grow step by step was incredibly encouraging. In the same year, I launched the Facebook Fan Page, creating more opportunities to connect with fellow travelers!
10,000+ Daily Visitors
Readership finally picked up substantially. That same year, I launched the YouTube Travel Channel, inviting everyone to travel along from a visual perspective!
Traffic Plunge During Pandemic
Because the blog primarily focuses on international travel, closed borders and pandemic restrictions led to a steep drop in views. It felt like starting all over again from scratch, but I used this downtime to optimize the website architecture and enhance user reading experience!

As the pandemic subsided, outbound travel rebounded sharply with revenge travel in full swing. Traffic returned to previous peaks, marking a brand-new milestone for the website!
