Travel Writing Toolkit

1. Be detailed and specific.
• Detail is what transports the reader to the
destination.
• You need to paint a picture of the place in their
mind.
“You will have a nice meal.”
vs
“Surrounded by desert in the fading light of the day,
you will sit cross-legged on red velvet cushions and
devour a feast of garlic-infused oysters.”
Travelogue – AP

2. Use all your senses.
• Remember smell, touch, hear and taste
• Cloud of jasmine, cobbled street, excited chatter,
bitter coffee
3. Include characters and dialogue.

• Locals, other travelers and historical figures
4. Avoid clichés.
• “A tired, over-used expression that’s lost its
descriptive power”
Travelogue – AP

5. Show, don’t tell.
“It was scary”

vs
“The moon has bathed everything in a ghostly half-
light as I creep across the cobblestones of the
palace's deserted main courtyard at midnight. I pass
through a narrow brick archway and enter a dimly lit
alley. It is eerily still and unnervingly quiet.”
Travelogue – AP
Writing Process
• Edit
“Writing without thinking is like shooting without aiming.”
