My wife use to run a travel blog that got kind of popular at points. We were never able to make any income from online advertising(though if we put the effort into direct sales it probably could have done better) but we got more than enough free stuff over the years to make it worth operating.

Hotels, restaurants, attractions, tours, transport, etc are all often willing to give you free access, free upgrades or a huge discount with the promise of a post. You have to be honest in your approach with the fact that you don't guarantee a positive post just a post though(and you have to follow through with negative posts when they are deserved).
