Eventually, we arrived at our desert camp. Stars were already shining brightly in the darkening sky and it was getting cold with the approach of the night. I wondered which camel would be my ride the next day and grabbed my bag and headed towards the warm campfire.

7 . Manchester is the “capital” of the northwest of England. Situated on the east bank of the River Irwell, it is a lively busy city with a large student population. Although it was once seen as only a dull industrial place, in recent years Manchester has become the “in” place. It is well-known for its clubs, its fashion and its music, not to mention its world-famous football team, Manchester United.
There is plenty to see in Manchester and something to suit all taste. For example, you have a taste for the Orient in Chinatown, home to Manchester’s large Chinese population. Another place to visit is the historical Castlefield area, which contains the first urban heritage park in Britain. Here you can walk around the museums and experience the atmosphere of the 19th century’s Manchester.
Football fans need not feel left out; they can always make a trip to the Old Trafford Manchester United Museum which also contains a coffee shop and a souvenir shop.
It’s easy to find your way around the city center and you’re never too far away from a bus, which will take you wherever you want to go. However, many people prefer walking in the city where there’s so much to see, and much of it is off the main travel lines.
If you get tired of all that walking, you can refresh yourself at one of the many cafe bars in the city. There’s a wide variety of homely and old-fashioned ones.
Whatever you do, you won’t have a dull moment in the place which was awarded the title of “the most interesting city in Europe”. Despite its unpopular industrial image in the past, Manchester is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination nowadays.

8 . German has a word “wanderlust” which means “the desire to travel” if it’s translated into English. Nowadays the opportunity to travel is endless. Thanks to low-cost airfares, travelling abroad is very accessible and sometimes it’s even cheaper to fly out of the country than to travel within your own country. So, yes, travelling is cheap but there have to be other reasons to travel and you’re right; there are plenty!
I have always had this feeling of wanderlust. It started from me wanting to explore my local woods at the back of my garden as a young girl and as I have grown, so has my sense of adventure. And I found my local woods being replaced with the Brazil wetland. The thing with travelling is that it’s always different. Even if you go to the same country, to the same town and stay in the exact same hotel, it will be a completely different experience. The people you meet will be different, and they will tell you their own travelling stories: stories of holiday romances, holiday horror stories and stories that seem so outrageous that you can hardly believe them until something similar happens to you. You find yourself becoming one of those people telling you tales.
Or maybe the difference is yourself? Maybe you have changed since last time you were there. And that’s the thing with travelling — it changes you. When you travel you are forced into immersing yourself in a new culture and whether it’s eating delicious food, or staying with a family where neither of you can speak a common language and you have to communicate by gestures and smiles, the experience may give you itchy feet to do it all again. Although wanderlust is originally a German word, the English idiom “to have itchy feet” captures a similar idea. Someone who has itchy feet needs to leave or travel. This desire to explore is found not only in languages but also in us.

9 . You don't need to travel far away to write a travel diary. Your writing can start with a family vacation or a weekend getaway. All you need is a destination or a place of departure(出发)!
Write about what you imagine it will be. Sometimes when you travel, your destination is wildly different from what you expected. Maybe you expected the local food to be bad but it turned out to be delicious.
Add pictures to your journal.
Write about your trip after you leave. It is important to reflect on your travels, so you can have a new understanding.
