How I Learned...Travel Solo

Huston's narrative was very interesting and helpful. As a blog post it showed me a new method to to organize my posts, by breaking my topic up in sections and then adding more detail to it. As a narrative it revealed yet another way to approach my essay. Huston described experiences that she had while traveling alone, both positive and negative, and gave advice accordingly to help others in the same situation. I like how she started describing why she didn't like to travel alone, but turned a bad experience into a good one and taught herself to find joy in traveling solo. She also explained how to still 'feel' connected to others while traveling by yourself, by sharing photos and tweeting about her experiences. I like that her tone was very casual and friendly and understanding towards people, and empathized with them. I hope that in my educational narrative I can also connect with the reader by finding aspects of my experiences that everyone can relate to. The key to writing well is being able to connect with readers, and I think Huston was able to do that effectively. Even though her style was a bit too simplistic and casual for my taste, I think it would be very helpful for travelers.
