Editorโs Note: We know that many of you are looking for help writing travel experience essays for school or simply writing about a trip for your friends or family. To inspire you and help you write your next trip essayโwhether itโs an essay about a trip with family or simply a way to remember your best trip ever (so far)โwe enlisted the help of Professor Kathleen Boardman, whose decades of teaching have helped many college students learn the fine art of autobiography and life writing. Hereโs advice on how to turn a simple โmy best tripโ essay into a story that will inspire others to explore the world.
Welcome home! Now that youโre back from your trip, youโd like to share it with others in a travel essay. Youโre a good writer and a good editor of your work, but youโve never tried travel writing before. As your potential reader, I have some advice and some requests for you as you write your travel experience essay.
Trip Essays: What to Avoid
Please donโt tell me everything about your trip. I donโt want to know your travel schedule or the names of all the castles or restaurants you visited. I donโt care about the plane trip that got you there (unless, of course, that trip is the story).
I have a friend who, when I return from a trip, never asks me, โHow was your trip?โ She knows that I would give her a long, rambling answer: โโฆ and then โฆ and then โฆ and then.โ So instead, she says, โTell me about one thing that really stood out for you.โ Thatโs what Iโd like you to do in this travel essay youโre writing.
The Power of Compelling Scenes
One or two โsnapshotsโ are enoughโbut make them great. Many good writers jump right into the middle of their account with a vivid written โsnapshotโ of an important scene. Then, having aroused their readersโ interest or curiosity, they fill in the story or background. I think this technique works great for travel writing; at least, I would rather enjoy a vivid snapshot than read through a day-to-day summary of somebodyโs travel journal.
Write About a Trip Using Vivid Descriptions
Take your time. Tell a story. So what if you saw things that were โincredible,โ did things that were โamazing,โ observed actions that you thought โweirdโ? These words donโt mean anything to me unless you show me, in a story or a vivid description, the experience that made you want to use those adjectives.
Iโd like to see the place, the people, or the journey through your eyes, not someone elseโs. Please donโt rewrite someone elseโs account of visiting the place. Please donโt try to imitate a travel guide or travelogue or someoneโs blog or Facebook entry. You are not writing a real travel essay unless you are describing, as clearly and honestly as possible, yourself in the place you visited. What did you see, hear, taste, say? Donโt worry if your โtakeโ on your experience doesnโt match what everyone else says about it. (Iโve already read what THEY have to say.)
The Importance of Self-Editing Your Trip Essay
Donโt give me your first draft to read. Instead, set it aside and then reread it. Reread it again. Where might I need more explanation? What parts of your account are likely to confuse me? (After all, I wasnโt there.) Where might you be wasting my time by repeating or rambling on about something youโve already told me?
Make me feel, make me laugh, help me learn something. But donโt overdo it: Please donโt preach to me about broadening my horizons or understanding other cultures. Instead, let me in on your feelings, your change of heart and mind, even your fear and uncertainty, as you confronted something youโd never experienced before. If you can, surprise me with something I didnโt know or couldnโt have suspected.
You Can Do It: Turning Your Trip into a Great Travel Experience Essay
I hope you will take yourself seriously as a traveler and as a writer. Through whatโand howโyou write about just a small portion of your travel experience, show me that you are an interesting, thoughtful, observant person. I will come back to you, begging for more of your travel essays.

Take This Creative Writing Road Trip
A Decrease font size. A Reset font size. A Increase font size.
From The Canterbury Tales, to Jack Kerouacโs On the Road , the transformations that happen when we hit the road and leave our daily routines behind can open a whole new dimension of experience. In the course of a journey, we meet new characters, experience obstacles and solve the challenges that unfold in the course of our journey.ย Road trips are not always easy. Flannery OโConnor blends the concept of horror and social realism, along with a dash of ironic humor, in โA Good Man is Hard to Find,โ when she tells the story of a family road trip gone horribly wrong.
This summer, take a notebook on your own creative writing road trip with you and take notes. ย Eavesdrop on the back seat squabbles and the decisions about what to order in the truckstops. Tell the story of a road trip in all its realistic detail.ย Include the bickering in the car, the argument over how to drive safely, or try to capture the reflective connected silence between a parent and a child that unexpectedly bonds them after a year of fighting.ย Use your own memories of journeys, and tell the back stories that begin to weave their way into the narrative as you recall some of the adventures. Before you begin, think of the transformations you experienced while you were on the road, and find the material that you think will give you the most dramatic material.ย That drama can be subtle, an internal โletting goโ of a relationship that is over, or it can be more dramatic, Thelma and Louise on the lam.ย Enjoy the journey, and see where the road leads you with the characters who accompany you on the way.

What are you looking for?
any tips for writing road trips?
How to write a road trip
For a road trip there are a few things to consider that change how you go about it:
- Just wanting to have a road trip
- Is there a specific place they need to go to?
- What is going to wait for them at the end?
- If there is a specific place, they need to be at they should take the direct route there
- If itโs just for fun they can go and stop in any direction whenever they want
- You can include some obstacles, like road blocks, traffic jams, construction sites, getting lost, etc.
- If you use actual places, try to figure out the time it takes to get from point A to point B
Sleeping arrangements
- A few options: in the car, in a tent, in a motel
- Depends on where they are, their budget and the weather
- How many people are in the car?
- What is their relationship?
- Are they carefree and happy or is there tension between them?
Plot points
- The plot is like a road trip itself - it moves from one point to another and then ends at a point you choose
- So, you can choose different stations during the trip to include different plot points and further the plot
- Maybe something major always happens when they have to stay in the car with nowhere else to go
- Maybe they only have important conversations at night
End of the trip
- You should interconnect the end of the trip with the end of the plot you wanted to get across
- Itโs like reaching the destination in both aspects
- That makes for the most satisfying end for the reader
Road Trip Ideas
- picnic at the side of the road
- quick bathroom breaks
- having a snack stock pile
- homemade sandwiches
- getting lost
- fights about which way to go
- being stuck in traffic
- the perfect road trip playlist
- and still fighting over the music
- phone batteries being dangerously low and no way to charge them
- trying to read an actual paper map
- packing too many useless things
- while forgetting something important
- looking out for places to sleep
- contemplating if the creepy motel is worth it
- sleeping in the car, uncomfortable in all the wrong places
- sleeping under the starry sky
- not seeing a single soul for miles
- randomly stopping at interesting things
- watching the sun set and rise again
- measuring time with McDonald's signs they see
- visiting small towns
- coming across ghost towns
- exploring the remnants of civilization
- arriving at their destination feeling either more connected to each other or farther away from each other
I hope you enjoy this and have fun writing it!
