My Travel Writing Tips by Wale Okediran
I normally carry out some research about my destination before commencing my trip.
Once in my destination, all my senses of Sight, Smell, Hearing, Touch and Taste are put into use.
I usually go with a Notebook, a good Camera and Recorder ( when it’s difficult to write).
My Infinity App for Language translation is also very useful.
Since it might be difficult to capture every information during the trip, I make notes of major events and take mental notes of minor ones.
I also ensure that I speak to as many locals as possible during the trip. Taxi drivers and market women are very good sources of information.
The hardest part of the job is the actual Writing which I carry out when back in my base.
This exercise which involves checking for details of my information and my notes for accuracy can take a week or two to complete.
