A writers guide to what to take on your travels.
Many people like to keep their friends and families updated when travelling by using the power of the internet. Email and Facebook are fine systems that allow travellers to pass on news of the wider world in simple bite size chunks, but these are not enough. Travellers are often away for longer periods of time and have much more to say in the forms of pictures as well as words and even film. The multimedia rich records of travel cannot easily be emailed without sending large files that clog up multiple inboxes. Neither can you attach a movie to a postcard!
Why wait until you are back to show you family your pictures and film? Why not let them experience the joy of travelling alongside you in a way that will endure?
You can! The secret is to have the right kit with you – so that you can blog your way around the world.
