Writing Prompt, II.
Summer is here. With it, our daydreams about holidays and planning the next adventures came back flying, too. (Ok, there are always there somewhere, but now the guilt is gone.)
To keep us dreaming, we invite you to send us your travelogues in form of writing or visual art or basically anything, inspired by your greatest (or not) adventures! 🙂
Let’s keep exploring this amazing planet, responsibly!

We don’t have specific issues with specific themes… We had a hard time with challenges and their deadlines… But, we still wanted to give our (potential) contributors a better feeling of what we are most interested in!
So, we decided to start a series of occasional writing (and art) prompts.
These will be completely non-binding and are only here to help inspire you and to keep us more concentrated on our mission 🙂
Feel free to join any time by sending us your thoughts, words and art!
The first introductory prompt is simple. Or is it? 😉
