Traveling is something people often see as daunting and expensive but through the blog Nomadic Matt, an article called 2017: The Year You Make Travel Happen aims to change those ideas. While the post is about urging people to travel more it is clear there is a deeper purpose lying underneath this post and the hundreds of others the author writes. 2017: The Year You Make Travel Happen wants more people to travel because the author sees it as a public service to encourage people to partake in something that has brought him so much joy.

The title alone, 2017: The Year You Make Travel Happen, is very interesting as it is forceful and in your face. It is not suggesting to people that they travel or saying here’s why you should travel; it is flat out telling people that they are going to make travel happen. The tone this sets the post off in an exhilarating manner as being told what to do is such an aggressive way is not something people are used to. This tone combined with the topic of making things happen in your own life aims to inspire people to go out a travel, to take control of their lives. Phrases like “Tomorrow is the day to hit the gym, give up pizza, read more, or find that cheap trip to Paris.” aim to take advantage of the few minutes of adrenalin that people get from reading about life changing decisions and make them use that adrenalin in doing something.

The author is using this post to encourage these people to travel and teach them how to travel because he feels it is his duty, after experiencing so much for himself, to allow them the same opportunities that he has had.
2017: The Year You Make Travel Happen is clear-cut in its purpose as a blog post. From the first read it effortless to grasp just how much traveling means to the author. His writing is compelling to the point that it is plain to see he is exasperated by people’s inability to grasp that travel doesn’t have to be complicated. This post wants to reach those that think that travel is impossible for them and show them they don’t have to think that way. With a whole blog dedicated to travel it is clear the author wants other to experience what he has and he is using this post to tell them to do
