A Creative Guide To Travel Journaling w/ Lavinia Spalding

Have you ever wished you could get better at documenting your travel experiences?

Today I am joined by award-winning writer, editor, and podcaster, Lavinia Spalding, to discuss how and why anybody can keep a meaningful journal.

If you are somebody who wants to look back fondly at your most treasured travel experiences, you will not want to miss this episode. With the experience of publishing 9 books and teaching writing workshops around the world under her belt, Lavinia explains why all you need is 3 minutes a day and a gluestick to start sucessfully documenting your adventures.

What percentage of the day do you spend creating vs. consuming?  I'd love to hear your insights and hope you will share them by sending me an audio message.
