Read an interview with a young travel blogger
Follow William Bakker's background, audience, response to comments, travel habits, favourite trips, and future destinations.
The interview is organised by implied questions. The first paragraph introduces William; the next explains his followers and decision to post in English. Later paragraphs address negative comments, the items he carries, favourite trips, and his travel to-do list. Identify the question each paragraph answers, then use exact wording for dates, numbers, reasons, objects, and places. Treat now as the time of the interview.
