Choice of words on writing
Novice on writing here, except few academic reports.
I've got an idea to write a blog about my travel experiences, Although I speak Queen's English, I wish to write this blog for anyone interested in the world. US English being more commonly used, since Hollywood and Microsoft/Google powered devices (and many other US based entitles) and the internet, I'm worried if I used my native tongue to write my blog. We have many weird phrases and words only handful of people will get.
How should I write my blog? Should I choose US English or my native UK English?
And when I write, should I choose simple words whenever possible, or use some fancy wordings?(which helps me to express what I have to say, rather than using simplest word possible)

Travel writing is not about the destination or about the journey, it is about the company. It is the personality of the travel writer that make travel writing worth reading. Otherwise, you might just as well read a guide book. So your travel writing is not about taking your reader on a trip, it is about taking them on a trip with you. And for this reason, it should be written in your voice.
