 abstract={One widely accessible and popular way to enhance people’s wellbeing today is tourism, and its appeal continues to grow in Poland. Both wellbeing and tourism are complex and evolving phenomena shaped by socio-cultural patterns, economic and political influences, and lifestyle preferences. The growing popularity of individual tourism is closely linked to the ongoing development of social media. Tourist blogs serve as personal accounts that allow readers to reconstruct the world presented by the bloggers, offering insights into their intentions, beliefs, personality traits and attitudes. Their readers can also discern both the topics highlighted and those left unspoken, while identifying the bloggers’ values, self- -presentations, and the transformations they have undergone. The aim of this article is to examine the experience of individualised tourism and show its connections with the wellbeing of the individual on the example of Polish-language travel blogs. The study is exploratory in nature, and involves qualitative content analysis. The article seeks to answer how the experiences of bloggers or tourists relate to wellbeing, which aspects of wellbeing bloggers consider significant enough to share publicly, and what role wellbeing plays in the tourist experience.},
