How to Write Travel
essay

1. Choose a topic.

2. Use capturing intro

To write such a great essay, the introduction
is key and most important. Take the reader’s
attention . Make them want to read on. Start
with something interesting, not the boring
start of travelling.

3. Have goal
Some trips have a physical objective that
gives your article direction and purpose.
The reader (hopefully) sticks with you
because they want to know if you’ll
achieve your goal.
But many trips don’t have an obvious goal;
they are more about discovering a place,
unpicking its history or meeting its people.
In this case, create a personal goal to give
your reader a sense of where you’re taking
them.

4. Include dialogue
“Look! There! The lions are on the prowl,
“whispered Joseph.
Or: “We could see the lions heading off
hunting.”
Dialogue brings a scene to life, gives
personality to the people in your story,
and allows you to convey important
information in a punchy way.

When you slow down your writing and
describe a scene in detail – what you
saw – tasted – heard – felt, you are
showing the reader the world through
your eyes.
Telling is simply moving the story along.
We returned to the tents for a well earned
rest.

personality look. Avoid using too much
formal language.

An Adventurous Trip to
Jogyakarta

Last year, on my school holiday, my family decided

to go to a city we have never been before. This
time, we picked Jogyakarta. Jogyakarta is a busy
city that is filled with culture. It still have a
unique government system called keraton.
On Sunday morning, I arrived at Jogyakarta and
went straight to my hotel which was located
near the Malioboro street. After that my family
and I went to Keraton Jogyakarta. It was a white,
big building that stands near the town square.
To get there, we went with rented car. There
were a lot of stalls that sell craft.
