Writing is like Traveling
you may play this music for the better experience
Writing is like journey to the subject.
Lets begin
When it comes to writing about myself, I retrospect about my life and rediscover myself.
It is digging into gold mine to find nugget; the nugget that refines and defines me.
When it comes to writing about other subjects, it is journey to other country.
Explore and find variety of the other country and make those experiences part of me.
Walking in different city gives me various inspirations.
Writing and traveling has lots of similarity.
When I write, I always have to plan about what I am going to write.
What I am going to write about, what do I need to study about my subject, what sources do I want to use, what do I think about my sources, how am I going to infuse my finding to my writing, and finally, what is my opinion about my subject.
Library is always helpful.
After I am done with my planning, I start to read about different sources to support my idea, if it is necessary, change my thesis little bit, type type the paper, read over again, and finally fix some errors in my writing.
Machu Picchu
It is important to gather knowledge about this place to enhance experience.
When I am done with my writing, I have solid understanding of my subject even though my writing does not contain every thing that I learned or understand.
Traveling is just like writing as well. I mostly travel by myself, as I write.
Planning is important. Otherwise, I’ll be lost like this headless statue.
Before the traveling, I look for optimal date. When do I have most of time, am I free during the period, do I have sufficient money and so forth. After I figure out when to leave, I start to plan where to go. What country do I want to explore, what kind of aspects do I want to learn, have I been there, how much would it cost, and what to do each day and so forth. It is just like planning the writing. Search about where to go, gather information from various sources, and plan the trip itinerary is just like search about what to write about, gather supporting sources, and plan what to write in each paragraph.
Tile mosaic inside of Blue mosque. Constructed in 1616.
Hagia Sophia. Constructed in 537. It was church-It was mosque- and now It is museum.
Florence is mostly constructed and planned my Michelangelo.
Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and Sultan’s palace in Istanbul. I would have different experience if I did not research about importance and history previous to the visit.
When I travel, I sometimes face some problems, such as bad weather, unexpected accidents and so forth. Then, I chose to change my initial itinerary, or sometimes I have to improvise. When I am done with traveling, I read over all the daily diary that I wrote, retrospect about my travels, and finally find what I learned from that travel and it becomes part of me. This process is just like writing as well. Changing the thesis as I write and what I wrote becomes part of me.
I did not planned my trip wisely and I trapped in Cinque Terre overnight with out place to accommodate.
If I didn’t change my itinerary in Cappadocia, I might died in Izmir Bombing accident in 1/05/2017
Uyuni – Bolivia. Earth’s Mirror
I only have one day for uyuni, but luckily, it was sunny day. Rains most of time in Uyuni.
After all, writing and traveling has same value to me. Explore different part of the world, and make those experience as part of me so that I can be better person by learning.
Traveling and writing makes me to look world outside of frame
