8 ways to share your travel stories on Armchair Adventures (Part 2)
Got the travel bug but stuck at home? Wondering how to keep the dream alive? Here are 8 ways to share your travel stories— without leaving the house.
Here at Travis we’ve been virtual travelling for a few weeks now over at Armchair Adventures. With the current state of lockdown, we’ve decided to travel through the stories of others. Continuing on from Part 1 of this series, here’s four ways we’re seeing our travellers capture the world.
#5 — The one who breathes culture 🎨
Centuries old statues in squares, contemporary installations, or graffitied laneways. You can stumble on art anywhere. Perhaps you lose hours of your day in museums, or in urban mazes. Or maybe you’re super organised and take guided art walks. If you’ve captured some interesting artistic expressions, it’s time to share. Extra points if they were hard to find. Weave that imaginary paintbrush and tell your travel story like an artist.
#6 — The one who gets up at 4am 🌛
Why not base your travel collection on a time of day. Have you captured a city just waking up? The smell of freshly baked bread and coffee wafting through the air. Or maybe you’re a creature of the night, exploring a city through the people you meet during late night eats and cocktail bar hopping. Then there’s golden hour. That perfect time of day at dawn or dusk where the light is just right — a photographer’s dream. Have you captured any sights made more amazing by the light? I hear the Taj Mahal is out of this world at dawn!
#7 —The ones who YOLO 🏄
Jumping out of a plane or off a cliff is not everyone’s cup of tea. But it definitely gives you a different perspective. Whether it’s a bird’s eye view or an underground adventure, you’ve surely captured something the (less adventurous) of us haven’t seen. Did you paraglide against the backdrop of the Austrian alps? Hike up a mountain in Scotland? Trek to a secluded village to meet the locals? Channel your inner adventurer and share the things that got your adrenaline going.
#8—The one who looks for the oddities 🦕
Do you like to take the less travelled road? Is your go-to source for inspiration Atlas Obscura? Perhaps you base your trip around a quirk like scoping out the city’s most instagrammble bathrooms (just me?). Have you travelled based on your astrological sign (it’s a thing). Or searched for unique native animals (Australia’s a gold mine for this one). Whatever it is, staying away from mainstream is a great way to mix up your travels. And a great way to inspire others with your travel collections.
Share the love 🧡
Pick a theme and bring your old travel snaps back to life. Or be inspired by others! Join us over at Armchair Adventures, where we’re working on an easier way to share our travel escapades. More ways to express yourself than Insta, but easier than setting up your own blog. See you there!
Here at Travis, we’re a group of millennials who love travel and are trying to make the most of our #stayhome situation. We’re currently building a virtual community to #keeptravelalive over at armchairadventures.club. Physical travel may not be an option at the moment, but we can continue to learn and be inspired by the world around us.
