Travelers, in this pandemic time, are experiencing changing situation that asks for adaptation in their life. The changing paradigm is undoubtedly presented in the content of their blogs. Studying how the language of the blogs is used to construct the shifting identity is of interesting topics to discuss within the COVID-19 context. Thus, this study is intended to explore the identity shifts of traveler bloggers in their blogs.
