Every traveler has that one crazy story.

Maybe it was the time you found a hidden waterfall in Coorg that wasn't on Google Maps. Or the time you missed the last bus in Manali and ended up having the best chai of your life with a local family.

These stories inspire others to pack their bags. And at Travelmetry, we want to give your stories a home.

Step 2: Set the Scene (Title & Cover)

• Title: Make it catchy but honest.
  • Bad: "My Trip."
  • Good: "5 Days in Spiti: A Solo Biker’s Guide to the Middle Land."
• Cover Image: Choose your best shot. High-quality, landscape (horizontal) photos work best. This is the first thing people see, so make it count!

Step 3: Tell Your Story

This is where the magic happens. We have a clean, simple editor where you can just write.

• Be Helperful: Don't just say "it was nice." Tell us how you got there, where you stayed, and what you ate.
• Use Markdown: You can use basics like # for headings or * for bullet points to organize your text.
• Keep it Real: Did you get scammed? Was the food spicy? Honest reviews are the best reviews.

Step 4: Add Tags

Help people find your story. Use tags like Solo Travel, Budget, Himachal, Food, etc.

Step 5: Submit for Approval

Once you hit Submit, your blog goes to our editorial team. We usually review posts within 24 hours. We check for:

• Relevant travel content (no spam).
• Decent formatting.
• Appropriate photos.

Once approved, you'll get a notification, and your blog will go live on the Travel Diaries section!
