byI love sharing information about San Francisco with people who have never been here. That’s why I was excited to get asked to do a guest post for Travelogged, a cool blog that’s great for people interested in worldwide travel. The author of the blog has a witty voice and it was great to get a chance to chime in there with my own thoughts.
Of course, since I do have a blog called San Francisco is Sexy, it’s not too much of a surprise that my guest post focused on the sexiest things to do in this city. It’s hard to narrow down something like that since there are so many different sexy events and places in San Francisco.
What I did here was I tried to focus on the ten sexiest things about San Francisco that would appeal to someone who was just visiting here for a short time. By focusing on different types of trips (neighborhood explorations, for example) and broad activities (like the breadth of sexy classes there are here), I think I was able to offer a new visitor many different options for seeing the sexy side of the city without scaring anyone off with our sometimes-too-liberal attitude.
I believe that it’s really important to remember who your audience is when you’re doing any kind of travel writing. If you’re writing for “insiders” then you can skip a lot of the background stuff and you don’t have to water things down. However, if you’re writing for a wider audience then you need to provide insider tips in a way that a general audience can easily swallow. That’s particularly true when witing about a place as different from everywhere else as San Francisco is!
