Travel logs are written reflections of travel experiences. Each author chooses to focus on different aspects of travel – the food or the people, the lessons or challenges. They also make choices about when and how they reflect on their travel. Some keep daily logs and others choose to reflect weeks, months, or even years after their trips. This collection, which features one handwritten travel log and two digital social media logs, demonstrates the existence of travel logs in various modes and mediums. Each log and platform engages memory in different ways, some immediate and some reflective in nature. Similarly, their awareness of audience differs significantly and impacts the information recorded and the style used.
