c. Small details--I kept a journal and there are so many daily things that became part of my routine that I thought I would never forget, but I was surprised to realize how many things I had forgotten but were recorded in my travel journal.
d. Vulnerability/honesty—Travel Journaling is a great time to be vulnerable with yourself, especially when feeling homesick: the act of journalling allows you to express those emotions because, however you are feeling at the time, these really will be short term. It is important to have that perspective, as you continue to do harder things in your life. One important reminder is thst checking in with yourself regularly will serve as a litmus test to gauge whether or not you need more serious mental health resources. The important thing is to recognize when you need help, as mental health is of the utmost importance. This is why it is great to have honest and vulnerable reflection during your time abroad. And in your life in general!
