I recommend you <a href="http://www.how-to-build-a-website.co.uk/build-a-travel-website.html" rel="nofollow">build a travel website</a> first and THEN plug a blog on top of that. Why? A blog is supposed to engage with your audience and in the context of travel is more personal (perhaps..). Social Media is a 'two-way' discussions. A website gives you the opportunity to get all your thoughts out there and give yourself your own reference point when you can blog about your adventures.
