Plans are being laid for our upcoming trip: this includes recording podcasts and interviews, daily blogging on the Newzealand.com website, and picking and choosing which doodads and gizmos to bring on the trip.
So far one little item, a flashlight called a Flaresafe, with a built-in smoke detector, has made the cut. This nifty orange and black LED light was sent to us and to many other travel websites, and I read Jim Klee’s review of this product today on RoadJunky.com. Turns out it costs $100, (because of the built in smoke detector?), I guess this torch would come in handy in a dodgy hostel.
I went back to Radio Shack and found a tiny digital recorder, I will use this and a small mike to record sounds and interviews on the trip. I am planning a crash course this week on how to record podcasts so that I can post some audio snips on the blog and in my article up on my return.
I have always thought that travel sounds would make a good addition to GoNOMAD, but I never knew how exactly we could implement this. I think now that short little clips of animals, people, and machinery that we come across during the trip will add a third dimension, like video does to give readers a little more than just my words. Hopefully the learning curve won’t be too steep!
