Europe

Blogging While Backpacking Across Europe

A blog is an online discussion or website that provides readers with information on various topics. Blogs allow authors to detail their experiences or ideas in style similar to journal entries. Blog posts are usually displayed in reverse chronological order. This allows readers to view the most recent discussion at the top of the webpage.

In this module, you explored the countries, people, and cultures that make Europe unique. Before you travel to your next destination, GEOTREX is giving you the opportunity to go on a side trip and hike across Europe. During this adventure, you will blog about one country in each European region: Northern Europe, Central Europe, Mediterranean Europe, and Eastern Europe. GEOTREX will then use your blog posts for its social media initiative to teach followers about different countries.

As you backpack across Europe, make sure you travel in a logical order. Also, consider how you will get around. Many people choose to take a train from country to country using the Eurail system, but there are other options you can look into as well.

Please include the following criteria in your blog posts:

  2. Create or draw the blog by hand and then scan it for submission to the assignment's dropbox.
