Travel Becomes Story with Lavinia Spalding
The greatest travel stories focus on the little moments ‒ a chance encounter or a frozen moment in time that forever changes your perception.
In the latest episode of Bowing to Elephants, I’m joined by fellow writer, Lavinia Spalding. A repeat editor of The Best Women’s Travel Writing, Lavinia shares with us her thoughts on what separates truly great travel writing from the mediocre. Lavinia and I both have an insatiable wanderlust. Join us as we discuss our mutual love of travel and how journaling has helped us record our travels.
In this episode, we talked at length about:
How journaling while travelling helps us capture our initial impressions and increases our recall
How journaling can be a form of meditation
The most unusual thing Lavinia has learned about herself through journaling
Lavinia’s thoughts on what makes a strong travel essay
Curiosity and why it’s essential to travel writing
The people who influenced our love of food and our writing
