Travel research


Well, in between being busy writing my blog and all the other work for other modules and the Alumni as the DARO Ambassador, which is such a great experience as it gives me many opportunities to write and interview people, I’ve been researching travel writers.

I found the Travel section on the Telegraph’s website:- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/725071/A-taste-of-the-best-travel-writing.html   so read it, and noticed that these were extracts from the six books shortlisted for the 2002 Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. Reading them whilst identifying techniques the writers used, it was clear that a sense of place was captured, and the use of descriptions were common throughout.
