If your goal is to earn money, its likely that your best bet would either be to resume writing for traditional media, or create a substack subscription newsletter.
If you just want somewhere to put stuff that is too long-form for Twitter then a WordPress would be fine.

I don’t care about making money. I’m retired from my full-time gig and have two part-time gigs one ending in 10 and I’d like to add another. I did this for years and know it’s a lot of work to market to the print media, where I was a writer and magazine editor, with no guarantee the articles will sell. We travel a lot so my purposes are two-fold: to get my material to as many people as possible and, selfishly, I know how I can land travel perques. For example, I can get a couple nights in a hotel.
You use Wordpress as a noun. I assume you mean a WP website. I have lots of Twitter followers and would tweet links to my content.

When you do, post the link and I'll be sure to follow!

That was my intention. If I get this going I’ll post here. I may start by posting content to my site so I can use it as a sakes tool as mentioned above.
Please tell me the travel bloggers you follow. Do you follow direct from a website or through another medium like Twitter or Facebook that links to a website?

A good assumption but money doesn’t matter as mentioned. My handle is from my career as a financial advisor.
