Writers, don't neglect to journal your experiences as you travel. Whether you're day-tripping your own local areas or committing to longer-term experiences, take your favored author implements along for the ride.
- camera
- voice recorder
- pen/pencil
- notebook
- conscience
Consider the nature of your upcoming excursion: will you need to carry your notebook or device in a plastic sleeve to avoid moisture? Will carrying that camera be appropriate for every occasion, or should you consider taking information in on the down-low?
When using your usual mobile device, for all its handy bells and whistles, be wary of instances when picture-taking may be barred (and equipment confiscated as a consequence). Consider snapping only a couple of images when you can most-reasonably do so, and save note-taking for times of quiet or isolation, maybe before bed as one would normally evaluate the day behind them.
We'd like to hear about your experiences. Are you a travel writer, or are you a writing traveler? Readers, do you have a favorite travel author or road-trip vagabond? Tell everyone!
