While Traveling…-travel alone-visit all sites within your country to gather all info for your journal-Move to another site ONLY within your country until you’ve finished recording all the info from that country-when finished with a county, get “visa” page stamped for completion (teacher will hold on to this until you finish next step) -go to an “ATM” – the teacher- to see how much you can “earn” from memory. You may request to see your journal for a few seconds, but it’ll cost you! *so study before you surrender your journal!
