“Share your journey with the world!” This is a sentiment that accompanies us as we venture forth into the world, and one of the initial inquiries we encounter upon our return. An intrinsic desire arises within us to document our experiences as we step out of our comfort zones to discover the boundless world. However, for those who don’t perceive themselves as writers, translating experiences into words can be more daunting than inspiring.

‘Writing Abroad’ is designed for globetrotters from all walks of life and varying levels of writing expertise: a student setting off for international studies, a retiree fulfilling a lifelong dream of visiting China, or a Peace Corps volunteer stationed in Kenya. Everyone can reap the benefits of recording their adventures, be it in a physical diary or a digital blog.

Through pragmatic advice and versatile exercises, this guide assists explorers in sharpening their observational skills, conducting thorough research and interviews, selecting a fitting literary form, and integrating photos and videos into their narratives. Penning down travel experiences isn’t merely about preserving memories—it can morph experiences and unravel fresh insights.

With ‘Writing Abroad’, globetrotters can enhance their comprehension of diverse cultures and articulate that newfound knowledge in lucid and vibrant prose.
