When it comes to booking your trip, STA Explorer Tim (Gadget Boy Goes Global) took a slightly different slant than most.

His latest post on Random Projects is titled I made a book, which is exactly what he has done. The book is full of imagery from the time he spent travelling around Iceland and when describing the venture he is modest as ever,

“Just for me and family, but if anyone wants to take a look here it is (it’s a big’un though so might take a while to load). You can even buy it, but I wouldn’t suggest it unless you want to buy pics of me for some strange reason!”

I’ve had a look through The Physics of Outdoor Bean Cookery and Other Icelandic Images (that’s the title of Tim’s publication) and it is full of remarkable photographs. Producing a book in this way is an amazing way to keep a record of your travel and, maybe not an option while on the hoof, it is certainly a fantastic way to relive your adventure once you’ve returned. And the result is the ultimate coffee table accessory – a book about you!

If this is something you think you’d like to have a go at, then have a look at these applications and give it a go; Lulu, WeBook, Blurb and Qoop. Also get in touch with Tim either through Random Projects or his Twitter @timminter, I’m sure he’d be happy to offer you some tips.
