Are you a traveler? Do you like to document your travels by writing in a journal and/or taking photographs? In this workshop, students will learn how to research, document, and write about their journeys. The class will read excerpts from the works of such masters as William Least Heat Moon, Bruce Chatwin, Paul Theroux, and John McPhee, as well as fictionalized works from Tom Bodett, Paul Bowles, Virginia Woolf, and Jack Kerouac. This course is appropriate for any travelers with an interest in writing and the tendency to observe the world around them, whether in Penfield or Peru.
