There are some very simple basics to photography that can make a huge difference on whether a photo opportunity on the road results in something you'll always treasure, or a throw-away, so if you don't know the basics of light and composition, this is the time to learn! Those are good ideas!

It seems the more travel plans there are the more opportunities there is for something to break or change those plans. Planners can be too hard on themselves and the gap is a good time to take it easy :) Thanks Lin.
