TrekJournal Tips

Less describing.
More storytelling.

A place. A little discovery. A detail only you would remember.

A little context goes a long way

Make the place part of your story.

Enter a place or restaurant to explore what to do, eat or try. Add a detail from your own experience to turn it into a story starter.

“Coffee at a café” sets the scene.
“I went in for coffee and stayed for the rain” gives it a storyline.

Example wording only. Your own story should reflect what happened to you.

Give your Moment a little momentum.

  1. Start with the hook. What made you stop, smile or look twice?
  2. Anchor it in a real detail. Name the place, restaurant, dish or activity when you know it. Add what you actually did or noticed.
  3. Land the ending. A small surprise, a change of plan or the detail you took away gives the story its point.

For a daily collage, choose photos that share one thread. Add the order if it matters: the start, the little turn, the finish. Trevor can help connect the facts you supply; you review and choose the final words.
