Do one more thing to make the trip more interesting!

Just thinking about it, traveling is a beautiful thing.

Along the way, we will meet different people, gain different scenery and experience all kinds of unknowns. It would be a pity to just let these memories slip away with time. Fortunately, there is also a travel handbook, which can help us better record the beauty and feelings during the journey.

Easier said than done, as long as you take out your notebook and pen, write down where you went, what you saw, what you ate, and write down a little bit of your mood, it is also a record. But if you want to refuse the running account, then Ono's book "A Complete Guide to Travel Handbook" is worth reading.

My previous travel account can only be counted as a running account, and there are some ticket stubs. This book really inspired me.

The book "Complete Guide to Travel Manuals" by Kono Xuanzhi not only provides many practical tips and tricks for making travel manuals, but also reminds people that life needs constant discovery and feelings to be more interesting.

This book is illustrated with pictures and texts, and there are also many pictures of Ono's own travel notes, which will arouse readers' desire to take the initiative to do travel notes. Moreover, this book is bound with bare thread and glue, and it is easy to spread out. I think it's the same as the notebook we use for travel: how to get it as conveniently as possible.

Kono Kenji is a well-known information organizer in Japan. He has been keeping hand books since he was in college, and used them to record his travels. He believes that "travel is not worth recording because it is interesting, but it becomes interesting after recording." His works include How to Read a Book Effectively and How to Organize Information Effectively, which received enthusiastic response.

In fact, if you have read his books, you will find that there are many similarities between his travel notes and his reading notes, that is to say, some truths are actually the same. However, he also provided some other good methods in his travel notes.

The most important thing at this stage is not to have the burden of making travel accounts.

Because we can often see some handwritten works of the Great God on the Internet, which are not only rich in content, but also exquisite and beautiful, all kinds of tapes, stickers, hand-painted and so on. But in fact, as long as you do it in your own comfortable way, there will be no pressure and you will not give up halfway. It is not only a travel book, but also a normal diary.

I once bought some tape seals and wanted to make beautiful daily reports like the great gods. But in the end, I found that I prefer pure words when I keep a diary, and now I seldom use these things.

On the contrary, when traveling, I am very willing to spend some time and effort to make a good travel diary (although it is actually a diary). Even if it is very late, I will cut and paste it to record what happened during the day. Because I want to record the memory of my trip so that I won't forget it.

Many times, we often see information about some places everywhere, and then we think of the idea of going there to play. In fact, at this time, the best way is to record it, such as: Where do you want to go? Why do you want to go? Where did you see it? What attracts you?

And directly record the relevant information you see, such as photos or raiders, so as to build our vision.

In fact, this method is a very good way for us to set goals or plans. Because these beautiful pictures and recorded reasons for wanting to go can inspire us and give us motivation to work hard for them.

For example, if you want to travel, you must have a travel fund. But some people will lose motivation when saving money, and even squander it when they are unhappy. At this time, there is such a collection of travel wishes. If we take it out and turn it over, we can remind ourselves why we should save money, and the distant scenery will become our spiritual pillar.

We can record these distant places, regardless of whether we can finally reach them, regardless of budget, personnel, holidays and feasibility ... just collect what we are interested in and store it all together.

It is also a recording method published by Ono. At this time, we only need to use a notebook, which not only avoids forgetting, but also helps to concentrate. For example, I used to be too scattered. I just collected it and it's gone. Over time, I forgot, neither where I was going nor which website I collected.

In fact, in this process, it is also the process of finding ourselves. Because many times we don't know what we want to do or where we want to go, and collecting these places or things we like can help us know more about ourselves and what we like and are interested in.

Although traveling is a very pleasant thing, it will still be a little harder than usual. It may be too late to go back to the hotel every day. If you spend more time sorting out your travel notes at this time, you will feel very hard and bored. In fact, there is no need to have such a big burden.

And for future memories, this is also a process that is best not to be omitted, and it will be very interesting when browsing in the future.

In his "A Complete Guide to Travel Manuals", Xuanzhi Kono gave many simple and feasible methods of making:

1. Collect materials

I believe many people have the habit of collecting tickets, maps, brochures and so on during their travels. And what we need to do is to go further: take two copies and prepare a special storage bag for storage.

For example, you can bring two map brochures to facilitate the use of both positive and negative materials, which may come in handy at an unexpected moment. Besides, we can draw and write on it, for example, circle the places we have been today, which will deepen our impression.

And things with local characteristics can't be missed, and we can all keep them. For example, in the Japanese cherry blossom season, you can pick up a cherry blossom and stick it on a book with scotch tape.

Photos are also indispensable and important items in the journey, which will naturally add a lot of color to the traveler's account. However, you must choose a camera with good light. Of course, mobile phone photography is not fast now. However, reading this book published by Ono is a bit like planting grass Polaroid Z2300.

Write a memo on the way

Ono used to take a pad and write down his thoughts and feelings in a short way during the trip, and then cut and paste them directly into the notebook.

But personally, I think this method is more troublesome. If you really want to record it at a certain moment, you can actually copy the notes from your mobile phone into your notebook. I didn't know until I saw the back. In the next step, he would stick the note directly on the notebook, actually sharing the time of making the travel account.

When I usually write a travel diary, the time, place and content are all true records, but it will be boring. In fact, like Ono's reading notes method, when writing travel notes, it can also be divided into: objective facts+subjective voice. The former is to record what we saw and heard in the journey truthfully, while the latter is our own discovery, doubt and hypothesis, which allows us to exercise our observation invisibly.

When I went to Guangzhou with my friends, I found many twins and many orange trees. Later, I met a local aunt when I was drinking morning tea. She answered our doubts in a chat. If such a thing is recorded in a travel notebook, it will undoubtedly be more personalized and add a lot of color to the whole trip.

At the end of the journey, you should also sort out your travel experience in a timely manner. Here, Kono Xuanzhi put forward two concepts, one is instant hand account and the other is complete hand account.

Instant manual account:

Complete manual account:

In fact, from these production methods, we can easily see that a good trip is not necessarily about how beautiful scenery we saw, how amazing people we met and how rare food we tasted, but that we gained new insights and re-recognized ourselves and the world during this trip.

In this complete guidebook, author Xiao Ye Zhaozhi said, "Never lose the ability to have fun." This should be our initial intention of recording life.
