Assuming your travel blogging site is the one listed in your profile. If that's the case, you should be making way more than a $1.35 a day (~2K uniques per Compete and nearly sub 100K Alexa). I'm sure you don't want to plaster your site with ads, but if you reached out to smaller brand advertisers, I'm sure you could get some decent non-obtrusive, CPM deals. You could also use something like Skimlinks/Viglink to affiliatize traffic (although I think CPM is the way to go).
