Going to a Foreign Country? Don’t forget your “Hometown Photobook!”


I’ve spent some time overseas in the last 10 years. With years at a time in a foreign country inevitably you will meet people who know nothing about your hometown. Beyond the fact that they’ve never heard of your hometown, they know nothing about your country. How do you communicate what your hometown is like? Where is it? Who is your family? What are the famous things about your hometown?
You can do all that and then some. You can make your Hometown Photo book and you’ll use it like crazy. Imagine your friend or student or teacher asks you about your hometown. You can then pull that book off your bookshelf and give them an amazing glimpse at your life and home back in your country, state, province, city, town, hamlet or whatever.

Your Hometown photo book would replace a photo album where you have to sit and explain every page. The photo book would be much lighter and thinner than any photo album in your suitcase.


What do you think? Have you ever brought a photo album of your hometown to another country to show your new friends? Do you think this would be helpful or not?

Can anyone guess what hometown I am from?
Head over to our facebook page and give us your hometown and we'll do another few pages like this about YOUR HOMETOWN!!!
