While travel is mostly amazing, anyone who does it enough will also have some bad experiences, which usually makes for the best stories. Let’s hear about your worst travel experiences.
Prompt #8: What’s the worst travel experience you’ve ever had?
How: Respond to the prompt – through a blog post, picture, video, drawing, tweet, comment at the bottom of this article – however you want to express yourself. Then tweet and link your response @BootsnAll with the hashtag #indie30
Week 2 theme: On the road again
Details: See below
There is one guiding question/prompt each day, followed by a series of questions, ideas, and comments meant to help you dig deeper. These aren’t meant to be answered directly, just to help (feel free to address any, all, or none of the guiding questions below).
What is the worst travel experience you’ve ever had?
- Where did it happen?
- What made it so bad?
- How did you deal with it?
- Did you learn anything from it?
Tools and inspiration: Each day we’ll add a few links having to do with that day’s topic. If you’re experiencing a creativity block, maybe these can give you a few ideas:
