Love travelling? Why not also write/ post about it?

Making most of social media: Blogs, Instagram, Youtube

The workshop is suited for beginner and occasional travel writers (12 years and above). It is administered through a lecture, several exercises and group discussions. Recommendations for background reference materials are provided. The sessions can be from 3 hrs to 8 hours spread over 2 days.
