Write about whatever you want—a travel story, reflections on the place you’re studying, a comment on something you’ve read about travel, etc. If you’re looking for an idea, here are a couple:

Tell a travel story in which you played a part, but from the point of view of someone else in the story. (The “I” in the story is not you but your friend, the cab driver, the person who sat next to you on the train, etc.

Write a story about an encounter between two people (one could be you, but it could be about another student) who don’t speak the same language. Describe the gestures that were used to try to convey meaning, or write about what happened as a result of a misunderstanding, or how we tend to create a meaning when we’re not sure of the intended one.

Include a picture, either from another website or one of your own.

Write a comment on someone else’s blog post.
