I don’t have very detailed recollection of events, I remember like the equivalent of a one paragraph summary for entire events that should have like 5 pages of detail. I feel like I’m missing parts of me. Brains sucks so much when it comes to storage capacity.
i had a 6 month sabbatical a couple years ago and decided to try some solo international travel. i had never traveled solo before and worried it would be lonely. but it was solo or nothing, so i went. no regrets.
in the evenings id spend time writing in a journal about that day. I’m not really a journal guy but it was a good fit for solo travel. something to do when everything was closed and i felt like it helped me get more out of the trips.
mine were on my laptop. later when i got home i moved them online and spent some time editing them and adding lots of photos from my trips and links to my videos. so they morphed into whatever you would call that.
i also have a terrible memory. if you get a chance to go somewhere cool, id highly recommend journaling as part of your trip!
