How to keep a travel journal
Are you looking for fresh travel journal writing ideas? Read on these tips to get some ideas for creating a journal you will cherish.
Just do it. A travel journal is not scholarly (学文精深的).There are no rules, and no one is grading what you are write. The best way to get going is to get started.
Pay attention. Your journal doesn't have to only be about where you go each day.Did you meet someone new? Where and when? What did you talk about? Recording observations will make your travel journal colorful?
Try to write something every day. Make a habit of writing something every day or at least every other day.If you let more time pass, it can be different to remember what you did three or four days ago, especially the brief impressions of those experiences. Your journal will be richer if you keep up with it.
If writing paragraphs doesn't fit either you or your trip, try something else. You can make lists, such as your favorite restaurants for dinner or the best places to watch the sunset. Try sketching(素描)too and don't be discouraged if you are not sure as an artist. Sometimes sketching is really the best way to record an experience that would be lost when described with text. As the saying goes, a picture is worth one thousand words.
Take the bad along with the good. For all the great travel experiences we enjoy, there are days when things go wrong.Though they are not be highlight of a trip, they are part of your unique travel story and often are as much fun to tell about in the future as the ones that go as planned.
A. Write at a comfortable place.
B. Use different ways to keep a journal
C. Be sure that the size of the notebook is right for you.
D. Then you can catch your thoughts while they are fresh.
E. It is your experiences—written by you, and for yourself.
F. Write about these experiences too for they are just as memorable
G. Stop for a moment, look around and ask yourself some questions.
If you'd love to be more eco-friendly but don't know where to begin, start with a few small changes. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Adjust your thermostat(恒温器)to save on heating and cooling costs. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}In summer, set your thermostat to 78 ℉when you're at home and raise the temperature when you're away. In winter, turn your thermostat to 68 ℉ and lower it by 5°-10° when you're sleeping or out of your house. To stay warm in winter, put on a sweater or another layer instead of turning up the thermostat.
Turn off lights and unplug power strips that you're not using. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}Some devices can still use energy even when they're turned off. So, turn off the power strips at night to completely cut off energy use. If you need to leave your computer or TV on, try setting it to sleep mode.
Make your taps and toilets low-flow. Cut back on water waste by installing flow restrictor(节流装置) inside your taps and installing a low-flow shower head in your bathroom. This can save 3 to 4 gallons of water for every minute. If you're replacing a toilet, look for a low-flow one to save thousands of gallons of water a year. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} Adjust your washing machine to use cold water instead of warm. Since more energy is spent drying the clothes, skip the machine and hang your washed clothes on a clothesline. If you don't have space for a clothesline or can't hang clothes outside, set up a clothes drying rack that you can use inside. Try running your clothes through an extra spin cycle to remove even more water from the clothes. This will make them dry quicker.
A. Replace burned out light bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs. B. By doing some small things at home, you can easily reduce your carbon footprint. C. Remember to fix leaky taps or toilets as soon as you notice water dripping. D. Choose sustainable options when you purchase things that are normally packaged in plastic. E. This is an easy way to reduce energy use. F. Use less energy during summer months and winter by controlling your heating and cooling bills. G. Wash your clothes with cold water and line dry them. |
