Portrait by Tischbein of the German poet Goethe
lying about in the Roman countryside...
"You don't have to travel around the world to understand
that the sky is blue everywhere..."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Tell us about a trip you took, we want to know! Here are a few questions to help you describe your journey for us:
Where and when did you go?
Why did you go there (to visit family, on a school trip, etc.)?
Who did you go with (how did you get on)?
What did you see and do?
What sights, sounds, smells, and tastes do you remember best?
What were the highs and lows?
What was the “defining moment”?
Who did you meet, what did you talk about (have you kept in touch)?
What words did you learn?
What did you learn about the people and places?
What new (good or bad) experiences did you gain?
How did the trip change you (what did you learn about yourself)?
What emotions are conjured up when you remember your trip?
What did you bring back (souvenirs, photos, presents, objects, etc.)?
If there was something you would like to have brought back but couldn’t (because it was too big, someone’s property, etc.), what would it have been?
If you could have changed something over there, what would it have been?
Why would you go back there?
If you had written a travel diary, what would you have put in it (an account of your days and nights spent there, poems, thoughts, questions, quotes, postcards, drawings, photos, newspaper cuttings, dried flowers, etc.)?

John Hope Franklin, American historian
