About Travel Writing

 

This guide contains information, resources, and links intended to assist you with projects in the course Travel Writing.

"Travel writing is writing about places, persons, and things in other places--also writing about how to travel, when to travel, and advice on traveling–all with the reader in mind. It’s about relaying your travel experiences to others so that they may emulate them or at the very least not make the same mistakes you did. And it’s writing about things in your own back yard that are exotic to everyone else---a local farmer's market, historic site, restaurant, museum."
