I don't know if 'dabblings' is even a word, but since one can say 'I dabble a little in this and that' I feel that it should also be considered a noun. If it isn't, it should be.
But I'm not here to discuss that. I want to tell you about the website I've started.
And what is going to happen in the (near) future.
If you want to check it out, here's the link: http://exploringpathways.pro.
I'm not done yet, so it doesn't look perfect, but it's a start. Meanwhile, I've also started a new Hive account, just for the business, but couldn't fit the full name in, so it became @explore-pathways instead. As I go, I will add information about it to that account too.
The Purpose of the Website
At first, I just wanted to have a website where I can write about travel, share my Hive blogs (although I'm still figuring out how to do this) and add affiliate links so I can earn from that as well. However, something exciting happened the other day...
I found a company that lets me sell travel right from my website. As a travel agent, one needs many credentials, depending on the location. For the US and many other places, you'd need IATA accreditation, which is quite hard to obtain. For the UK, it's something else. And I haven't even figured out what would be needed for someone in Mexico. However, with this company, I would just pay a monthly subscription, and then I can link my website to their booking system, and potential customers can see what's on offer, and book directly through my website.
I haven't signed up with them yet, because I need the funds first, and don't just want to jump in for one month, and then not being able to pay for the next month. Also, there are some travel arrangements that haven't been added yet, like cruises, so I want to wait for that as well.
The image above is my logo for now. But I'm not sure if it will stay or if I should do something else. To be continued...
I've also started a Facebook business page for the same. More social media to follow...
Opportunities
On Facebook, I am part of many different groups. And there are many different homeschool, unschool, and worldschool groups. I can't even count them anymore. But it's an opportunity. Some people are already doing this, but it's not over-saturated, so I believe I have a great opportunity there.
There's even someone who only offers cruises, and they always sell out.
But the Best Part...
OK, so the best part of all is that it's possible to pay bookings with crypto. Right now, there are only some of the bigger ones, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. However, I can actually make it in a way that customers pay me in HBD, and then I pay for the bookings in crypto or fiat.
So the plan is to be able to take HBD payments.
I still have to figure all of that out, and how that would work with payments, but it's an option.
There are still a few more irons on the fire, and I have three more websites planned.
However, since I usually always jump into too many things at the same time, and then half-ass it all, I decided to do the smart thing and do one thing first, and do it right, and then move on to the next.
I'll keep updating as I go!

The website (finally here! Yay!) looks gorgeous! Even if I didn't know it was yours and just found it randomly planning my next trip, I'd love it <3 HBD payments also sounds like a dream (as do the HBD to pay for a trip right now xD) But we getting there.
Thank you for the kind words. I also think it turned out quite well. 😊 And I'm positive it will get some traction. I'm going to focus mainly on the website now and getting the word out, and hopefully soon I can offer bookings for HBD. I'll have to talk to a few people on Hive who would know how to integrate this, but it shouldn't be a big issue. Thank you for your support. It means a lot to me. ❤️
Sounds really cool and seems like a great angle you could grow here!
Thank you. And I thought so too!
I don't know if you took a look at Hive Projects website, but maybe you could find something useful for your website.
I know there was a tool for websites built on WordPress to connect your Hive blog with your website, so your Hive posts would be automatically posted on your domain. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it now.
However, there are some other projects or tools that might be of some interest to you like...
or even...
Hive post downloader
I don't know if any of these would be of some use to you, but that's what I know.
Crossing fingers 🤞 for the success of your new website! (Btw, so far, with a quick look that I took, it looks good!) 😉💪

Because I can't really get any further with that website now, since I want to get the bookings in order first, I decided to start working on number two haha.
So that took half my day today. Been up for more than 24 hours now, so bed time...Ohhh, thank you @ana-maria, those are great tips. I'll check it out. Yeah, I love travelfeed, but will have to figure out how to do this. I didn't build the website with Wordpress. Somehow Wordpress never does what I want it to do haha. Anyway, I will figure it out. Thanks again! And thank you for the compliment, that means a lot. That's why I shared it here, because there's a good chance that people will let me know if something can be improved or changed. So I'm glad to hear you think it looks good. :)
Have a great day on your side of the world! xx
I will be glad if you have some use of it! 😃
