Why Write A Journal When Traveling?

There are many benefits of keeping a journal when traveling, but here are a few to start with:

Remember More

By writing down the things you want to do on your trip and the things you have done during it, you won’t forget the reasons you wanted to go and will remember more of your visit.

Learn More

When traveling somewhere new, you will learn a lot about that place’s culture, customs and people. By having a place to write down your observations, you will absorb more of your surroundings.

Reflect More

A journal is a place to record new things you have discovered while exploring various places you visit. By having all these new findings in one place, you will be able to look back and reflect on what you have learned and apply it to other parts of your life.

Guidance

How to write a Travel Journal?

First Person

Write the entries in the first person. Use ‘I’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘we’re’, ‘they’, etc.

Tense & Spelling

Use Past tense.
Don’t forget to check your spelling and writing.

Real

Write about something that really happened to you.

Simple

Keep it simple and use words that will help readers picture what happened.

Detail

Make your entries detailed, describe your experiences by explaining your activities, places you visited, people you met to give the readers clear pictures about your experiences.

Highlight of the Day

Spot a “highlight of the day”. Mention the best/worst/funniest/strangest or most unforgettable moment or experience on that day.
Describe and elaborate your feelings.

Emotions

If you are feeling sad, explain what is making you feel sad. If you are happy, write down why. Include your emotions in your diary. Do not be afraid to write about your thoughts and feelings

Chronological

Write in a chronological order. Start with events that happened early in the day, and end with events that took place last thing in the evening.
