Travel Tools > Online Travel Diary
Are you about to set out on a trip and want to keep your friends and family at home informed? Or do you just want to keep a personal record of your experiences as you go? Keeping a diary online is a great way to both keep in touch with your loved ones back home, while recording your experiences for your own pleasure. Not only will you be doing your friends and family a favour by not filling their email inboxes with massive, photo-filled emails, you'll also be creating an online record of your movements, that you can re-read weeks, months or even years later!
If you're concerned about privacy and want to make sure no one but your family and friends have access to your diary entries, you can secure your online diary with a password. Give that password to those that are allowed access and no-one else will be able to see what you have written. Naturally, you can keep your diary public if you prefer this.
Sometimes words don't quite catch the essence of what you are experiencing and seeing, no matter how good of a writer you are. Upload your pictures through Travellerspoint (25 MB free each month for new users!) and link them to your diary entries to give your readers an even better idea of your travel experiences.
Travellerspoint's internal messaging system allows your readers to stay in touch with you and comment on your blogs without telling the world what they think. By adding you to their contact list, your readers can also be notified every time you update your diary.
