Maybe you’re afraid to start. Maybe you’ve hit publish once and even made a few dollars. Whatever it is, you’re stuck.
And it still feels like your travel blog is out of reach or isn’t working for you.
❌ stuck, in your head on how to move forward
❌ stuck, writing and publishing posts that don’t rank
❌ stuck, using travel affiliate programs that don’t convert
❌ stuck, wondering if you’ll ever make money from travel blogging
Being stuck sucks!!! So, tell me, is this you…?
👉 You’ve hit publish on posts you poured your heart into—only to have them never rank or earn you money.
👉 You’ve tried affiliate programs, but your links kinda just don’t do anything??
👉 You’ve seen other bloggers land tourism board trips, brand deals, or ad income and wondered… why not me?
Here’s Why Most Travel Blogs Fail (But Why Yours Won’t)
If you said yes to one or all of the above, you might be feeling like this:
➡️ Your blog is a passion project, but not a real business!
➡️ Growth is painfully slow, and you’re running out of bandwidth or motivation to make this dream a reality.
➡️ You’re working harder and harder, without earning any more than you did when you started!
That’s the real problem, and my promise:
You don’t need more random blogging “tips” that feel regurgitated.
Nor do you need to do it all on your own — you need guidance (hello, it’s me 👋) and a big SHIFT.
You need clarity.
You need to be told (and shown) that you can do it (because you can).
My proven blog blueprint combines strategy, SEO, monetization, and mindset, and literally will get you where you want to go, step by step! ✨
& this is where the magic happens…
Grow Your Travel Blog
With Purpose & Profit
Now, imagine instead of staying stuck and penniless, you:
✅ Make $5,000+ from ads and travel affiliates every month.
✅ Rank 1st in Google/search engines for years!
✅ Treat your blog like a business (and earn 5+ figures).
✅ Land tourism board and travel brand invites with ease.
✅ Document and share the stories and places you deeply care about!
✅ Earn $1,000+ from ONE itinerary you wrote six months ago!
✅ Inspire & inform millions of readers around the world with your firsthand experiences!
With the help of Bootstrap Blogging, travel blogging can replace your full-time job ✨ 👑 💻
You’re just one decision away from my proven strategies and support to build an intentional travel blog business that aligns with your values and provides you with financial independence.
These #Bootstrappers Did It, & So Can You 🥰
“Bri and her amazing course have changed my life. I’ve not only gained a lifelong friend, but she has helped me scale my blog to the point where I have just hit 100k monthly page views. She teaches in a way that is so easy to understand as a beginner blogger, and 3 years later, I have gained so much more knowledge than when I started. Thank you, Bri, for being the best mentor there ever was!”
Kerry, Oceanus Adventure
“Bri’s course completely changed the trajectory of my blogging journey! After our first 1:1 call, I knew I had made the right decision investing in Bri’s course and the Bootstrap Blogging community. Less than one year after implementing what I learned in her course, I hit 50,000 sessions and was accepted into an ad network! Now I continue to learn and grow from the amazing Bootstrap community. The best investment I’ve ever made!”

“Bri’s course and her invaluable help along the way helped me reach my 50K traffic goal to get on Mediavine. It’s because of my blog that I was approached about writing a book about hiking with dogs in New England, and for the first time, I am seeing my blog income match that of my teacher’s salary. None of this would have been possible without this course, the community, and Bri’s direction.”

Here’s How My Blog Course Helps You SHIFT
Not just about traffic — it’s about transformation
I first joined Bootstrap Blogging back in 2021 when Bri initially launched it, and so far, it’s been the best investment I’ve made in my business. Bri and her course have been an incredible help and support for me – both personally and professionally. First of all, by implementing what I learned in the course, I finally hit 50,000 monthly sessions and got approved by Mediavine after years of struggling. Secondly, the community in the course is unmatched. Not only is everyone incredibly helpful and supportive in our community chat, but some of us have also gone on to become lifelong friends and have met up in multiple different countries and continents across the globe. I highly recommend this course to anyone who’s thinking of taking their blog to the next level. Bri, I’m forever grateful for you, the course, the community you’ve created, and our friendship ❤️.

Why Bootstrap Blogging Is Different Than Other Travel Blog Courses
Strategy & Mindset Modules to Take You From $0–$100K 💰
Everything I teach in this course is built from the exact systems, strategies, and mindset shifts that took me from hobby blogger to six-figure CEO. If you’ve struggled with self-doubt, impostor syndrome, content overwhelm, or not knowing what to do next, this course is for you. I’ll help you build not just the blog, but the mindset, systems, and confidence to grow it into a real, purpose-driven business that is aligned and profitable.
Impact & Value-First Approach, Not Cookie-Cutter SEO 🍪
Sure, you’ll learn SEO, WordPress, monetization, and other things in this course that you may find elsewhere—but I teach blogging through the lens of your unique brand, story, and values. This is a course that will get to the heart of your why. Because it’s not all about SEO. It’s about experience. Impact. It’s about creating something worth something, and I believe everyone has a unique voice and story to share.
Created by an Experienced (Travel) Blogger, for Bloggers 👑
Unlike no-face blog courses or influencer-backed academies, my blog course is grounded in real travel blogging experience, tested over time. I’m still in the game, still publishing, still testing what works, and still adapting to the changing landscape of blogging—and I’m bringing all of that expertise, insight, and industry savvy to you, packaged (cutely) and broken down step-by-step to make learning easy and accelerate your growth.
But This Is the Real Bootstrap Difference… ❤️
“Bri is single-handedly responsible for my success as a blogger! I blogged for a full year, without gaining any traffic, or income! After discovering Bri’s course that changed overnight. My website went from never cracking more than 1000 page views a month to a rapidly growing trajectory of page views per month. And the income followed almost immediately. Her course has literally changed my future, I no longer work in education, instead I work for myself.
But the biggest sense of gratitude I feel for Bri, her course and my blogging journey was in 2023 when I was travelling full-time with my family and diagnosed with breast cancer. Our life was thrown into a turmoil and we immediately had to go home to New Zealand. I’m so very relieved that the passive income my blog was earning meant I was able to go through treatment, husband by my side, without the financial pressure for either of us to return to work.
The $2000-3000 USD I was earning a month gave us room to breathe and heal.
Four years later, my blog is still going strong, and I’m excited to be blogging again. The blogging community Bri has created is a constant source of motivation and I don’t know what I would have done without it all these years!”

My Blogging Journey
Why I Created My Own Travel Blog Course
A few years ago, I felt stuck juggling freelance clients while yearning to do more. I already knew SEO, affiliate marketing, and how to build and monetize niche sites. But I still doubted my identity and authority in becoming a “legitimate” travel blogger.
Then, one day, while living in Mexico, I read a travel blogger’s posts and heard my voice in hers. I literally thought, if she can do it, so can I. It gave me the confidence and quiet push I needed. So it was decided. That day, I wrote seven blog posts and birthed a fervor for blogging like I never had before. I let go of freelance client work and started publishing consistently (even as the pandemic shut the world down!).
Today, my travel blog has reached nearly 3 million readers—and counting! I’ve since grown multiple sites, landed dream (paid) partnerships with tourism boards and travel brands, built a six-figure blogging business, and helped over 100 adventurers and creators—from outdoorsy gals to family travel moms to nomadic couples—find clarity, confidence, and consistent income through travel blogging.
But here’s what I really want you to know: This course exists because I chose to get started. At the time, no one else was teaching travel blogging like I wanted to—with real strategy, personalized 1:1 guidance, and space for community, creativity, intention, and purpose. Since launching Bootstrap Blogging, I’ve:
