In an increasingly technological age expression is no longer limited to the word. So move beyond the traditional; expand your creative horizons toward other mediums and genres. When you travel all senses are evoked. You see, hear, and feel strikingly new things that criss-cross into a mosaic of meaning. And when you process such experiences you need an adequate space to express this, a space that isn’t one-dimensional like the written page. When you are a traveler you are also photographers, documentarians, anthropologists, and your tools are scarcely limited to the word. While abroad you’ll take digital pictures, video footage, voice recordings and discover dimensions of visual art, performance, music, and more. So how can you combine all these elements into describing what you have experienced abroad? Through the advent of new media, and particularly blogs, videos and audio recordings, all featured here. The idea is to make expression as interactive as possible, to steer away from the traditional text on the page and closer to what it is really like to live and travel within a technologically advanced and colorful world. Experience is always diverse and creative mediums should reflect the limitlessness of travel, the vastness of our earth and still the focus of one person on it.
