THE CHARMS OF TRAVEL WRITING - Live Online RCEGN 6976 C01
Whether you are thinking of preparing a travel narrative for publication or you just want to preserve your travel memories creatively, this workshop is for you!

Compelling travel narratives contain anecdotes, personal remembrances, encounters with culture, and conversations: these are the charms!
