Another travel is coming up, this time a week in Istanbul. I am leaving on the first plane Saturday morning, via Amsterdam, so I don´t need to start filling my black suitcase with the orange ribbons untill tomorrow. Tonight I am preparing my travel journal.
After trying out many different types of travel journals, I have ended up with black moleskins, the best ones, with the paper actually meant for water colours.
I plan to write more about my travel journals in tomorrow´s BrittArnhild´s House in the Woods, so I must not get carried away. This post is meant to be about a few books which I find helpful, inspirational, in my own travel writing process.
As this blog unfolds, you will get to know hundreds of travel books, some of them I read again, and again all the time, others have been read once and now cherished behind glass in my special bookcases for travel writing, others are still wiaiting to be read.
But let me come to the point.......I´ve had a long day at work today, and when I came home we had the "tree felling drama.....", so I am a bit tired :-)
The two books on travel writing and travel photography I am reading/studying for the moment are:
Lonely Planet´s Travel Writing, actually a gift from Jane and Lanny, blog readers who live in California, Jane and Lanny write the most remarcable travel letters themselves when they travel, which the do alot, and email them to family and friends, we are lucky to be on the list.
And Lonely Planet´s Guide to Travel Photography

5 - glass artist Mauro, Venice, Italy
