Travelling to fictional destinations
Travelling to fictional destinations
Think of a book, movie or video game with an exciting setting and create your very own travel guide for that location. Destinations we visit in fiction capture our imagination just as surely as the places described in the best travel literature or documentaries.
You will need to brainstorm where to stay, food to eat, and the can’t-miss sights everyone should see at this imaginary destination.
In the end we will compile The Ultimate Travel Guide to Imaginary Places with all of the locales using MICROSOFT SWAY.
