I realized, when reading old journals, that basically every story I told and the vast majority of things I can remember, are things I'd written down in my journal. Similarly, I've also noticed that the subjects I can teach very well or explain very well are things I've blogged about, and the motorcycle routes I can describe from memory are the ones I've published videos on. I'm not sure if this is a sort of chicken/egg situation e.g. the memorable experiences are worth writing down, but I'd have remembered them any way, but in any case it certainly doesn't seem to hurt.

I think I have like 100 subscribers to my youtube, just checked and looks like my blog got 133 visits last week. Oh well.

It's also really nice that I can easily send a video to someone when I'm recommending motorcycle routes, or if someone asks me for the millionth time why I moved to Taiwan or some other question I've answered in my blog, I can give a short and polite answer with a link to a blog post or two if they want to know more.
