unYOUsual trips
Have you made a journey that's out-of-the-ordinary? If the answer is yes, we want to hear about it. Whether it's because of the people you met, the length of your trip, the conditions, or what you did, put on your reporter's hat and get scribbling!
Write, add photos, add videos – whatever you feel tells YOUR story best.
Text
When you write your story*, be direct and spontaneous. Show us what makes your journey unusual. Whether it's the length of your trip, the distance you travelled, the means of transport you used, the people you met…
Describe moods, feelings, people, monuments, places, everything. Don't worry about the order you write it in – we like playful disorder! And don't get tied up in overly sophisticated language, write as if you were telling a friend. Need inspiration? Have a look at our travel book.
Use English if you can, otherwise your mother tongue.
*Text format
For each day you describe, please add:
A title: Give your day a title
The date: When did you have this experience?
The country: Add what country you were in
The city, village or area: Which city, village or area did you have this experience in?
Any journeys you took: If you moved from one place to another in the same day, specify the route you took and how far you travelled (in kilometres).
Separate your text into paragraphs so it's easy to read. To create a new paragraph, just press return to start a new line.
Photos
Send us your original photos "au naturel". Please don't send us digitally altered photos. We want to see the world through your eyes, not through photo editing tools!
Send photos in JPG/JPEG format. Images should have a maximum size of 8MB and a minimum resolution of 2200 pixels width (for landscape photos) and 2200 pixels height (for portrait photos).
It's really important that you explain where you would like us to position your photos within your text. So please save your photos as numbers (1,2,3,4)*, and then use these numbers as references within your text to show exactly where you want your pictures to go. See an example.
* Please use english for photo tags. Tags are keywords that you can use to describe your pictures. E.g. For a photo of a bird, you might use the words 'bird wings' as a tag. Please remember to put a space between each word.
How to name your pictures:
Photo number + photo description + city/village/area (where the photo was taken) + country (where the photo was taken)
Example:
1 bird wings bangkok thailand
Videos
There's only one rule for videos – get your camera, capture your unrepeatable moments and tell us everything!
Send us your videos in one of the following formats: .avi, .flv, .mov, .mpg, .mpeg, .wmv, .mp4
Send us your reportage
