This is an old post and is probably extremely cringe. Please understand that I have moved on from these ideas. Still, it may contain some nuggets that point to some continuity in my thinking over the years, which is why I decided to post it here.
New Travel Category
Starting this past summer I decided to keep travel journals if I go somewhere interesting. In Israel I did this on paper, and unfortunately I was too busy on the road in Greece to write down my thoughts. I am in San Diego right now, and after picking up a notebook I realized that pen using pen and paper can be limiting. Using an online format I can attach photos, add links to the people I meet, and make public recommendations of the places I go. However, I won’t be including this category on my home page or in my RSS feed, just because I don’t want it to be the main purpose of my blog.
Pen and paper can be great for artistic folks who like to doodle or write intensive notes, but admittedly I don’t do that all the time. I liked the idea of having an offline mode of recording my thoughts all the time, but an electronic format better suits my own personality.
