Although it's been about a week since I left the Netherlands, I've been hitting the ground running regarding my academic course load and extracurricular activities. Soon enough, I will conduct a comprehensive literature review for my group research project that has been weighted as 60% of the research methods course. But in related news, to raise awareness about the "Dutch Designs" exploration seminar, I decided to serve as a student panelist at the 2010 All iSchool Welcome. This entailed speaking to a packed auditorium of the newest iSchool cohorts and describing how the exploration seminar has impacted my undergraduate education. I presented alongside MLIS student Karl Eckler, with prior assistance given by Dowell Eugenio, my academic adviser. A clip of the presentation can be viewed below:
Survival Guide Tips: How to Document Your Experience Abroad
36. Start a travel blog and remember to update it as soon as you can. Blog entries that are written a week later tend not to be as descriptive as same-day accounts.
37. Is keeping a blog too much writing for you? Why not Tweet about your experiences instead in 140 characters or less. That's practically a text message.
38. Consider carrying a flip camera with you. They're very portable and can record high-definition footage on the fly. The only catch is that you need a steady hand to produce non-shaky videos.
39. Use professional photo hosting sites—Picasa, Flicker, etc.—to upload your high-resolution photos. Social networking sites like Facebook only save and view photos in a low, watered-down resolution.
40. If you are more of an old-fashioned kind of historian, keeping physical copies of train cards, museum passes, and other tickets will serve as great mementos for future memory books.
