Today is all about brainstorming to begin our own travel story.......How do you start?
Personal memories, pictrues in magazines, objects, funny incidents, taboos
Historical Angle: Went over the history of travel. If absent, I have a reading you can use to find out what you missed.
Philosophical approach
Showed Globe Trekker clips to spark ideas
Shared interesting customs and festivals from around the world to spark ideas
We then spent ten minutes writing. If abent, set a timer and keep your pen moving for ten minutes. During the first five minutes start with "I remember..." and go where you mind takes you. Then begin with "I don't remember......." for the next five minutes. DO you have anything you could use for a travel story???
