Traveling to survive
My name is Sanne Grieten and I am a traveler with a scared, depressed heart. I am 22 years old, but since I was 10 years old, I have been struggling with psychological problems. To break the stigma, inspire others and motivate them to follow their dreams, I blog about this on Mostly Abroad Abroad.
In addition, I write about the trips I make, I share the best tips and tricks to travel cheaper and tell you the insights that I have learned over the past years.
Do you want an adapted and personal travel plan for a certain place, but don’t want to find this out all by yourself? I also offer my knowledge to prepare the perfect travel plan for you. Contact me for further information!
Travel history
Thanks to my parents, who are also travelers, I have already visited quite a few places. However, it has been two years since I started a blog: Mostly Abroad. Unfortunately this has disappeared in the infinity of the internet, and because of this, I founded Mainly Abroad. A blog that is fully focused on travel and mental health.

Travel blogging when you aren’t traveling
1. Photoblogs
It’s a very good tactic: you put your old photos into use, you have new content and people are longer on your blog to view the photos, which results in a long time session.
2. Guest blogging
Not only is this good for your blog, but it’s also great for someone else’s. You can promote each other a bit.
3. Reading other blogs
Not only do you have something to spend your time on and an opportunity to communicate by leaving a comment on other blogs, but it also most likely gives you inspiration.
Travel Photography
Besides my passion for traveling and helping people, I am fond of photography. You can follow me on Instagram and/or already have a preview here of what is posted on Instagram.
