Writing Away: A Creative Guide to Awakening the Journal-Writing Traveler will inspire budding memoirists and jetsetting scribes alike. But Writing Away doesn’t stop there—author Lavinia Spalding spins the romantic tradition of keeping a travelogue into a modern, witty adventure in awareness, introducing the traditional handwritten journal as a profoundly valuable tool for self-discovery, artistic expression and spiritual growth.

Writing Away teaches you to embrace mishaps in order to enrich your travel experience, recognize in advance what you want to remember, tap into all your senses and connect with the physical world in an increasingly technological age. It helps you overcome writer’s block and procrastination; tackle the discipline, routine, structure, and momentum that are crucial to the creative process; and demonstrates how traveling—while keeping a journal along the way—is the world’s most valuable writing exercise.

Writing Away was written by our chef-owner Blake’s sister, Lavinia Spalding, co-author of our award-winning first cookbook With a Measure of Grace and our newest addition This Immeasurable Place.
