Remembering Your Roam
My article, Remember Your Roam: Tips and Techniques to Bring Your Travel Journal Alive was recently posed on GoNomad.
It lists 25 writing prompts to help any traveler (even a reluctant writer) keep a diary on the road.
My favorite tip? #21
Write a haiku. Remember the rules? Three lines of counted syllables: 5,7,5. Traditionally, a haiku is supposed to be about nature, but I’ve use the format throughout my travel diaries. Here’s a haiku from my Roam journal:
Sticky table top
Hot waiter winks and I will
Forgive anything

I love your Haiku, Kelly! Great to have another of your stories on our site!
Thanks! I like it too!
What???? Your drawing rocks! As a former "artiste" and now Sunday doodler, I find it so funny how everyone says they can't draw, when really, everyone can. And you know I am partial - drawings to me are half the journal when traveling.
I still have a sketch you drew for me of the typical Argentine "mate man." Remember those men on our tour of Iguazu Falls with the plaid shirts and the over the shoulder leather bags that had pockets for all their mate gear? Special skinny, tall pockets to hold the straws. Wider pockets with punch out bottoms to hold a thermos of hot water....
The picture is hanging on my office bulletin board.
