Write in my Journal
A quick tip-off for this morning folks, as we’ve just come across this great idea for a blog.
By getting random people to write in his journal (a Moleskine, of course), the writer of this relatively new site just about turns travel writing on its head. Rather than heading away from home to meet new people and experience new cultures, Write in my Journal stays resolutely put (in Salt Lake City, to be precise) and simply approaches new people from all manner of backgrounds to scrawl a quick memento as they go about their lives.
The result? An unplanned and spontaneous insight into random lives and various backgrounds that is at times harrowing, haunting, uplifting… and just engagingly everyday. And that, when it comes down to it, is what good travel writing is all about.
That’s pretty cool.
