And through these collections, and the arranging and documentation of them, Keri Smith will teach you how to look at the world with new eyes. Once you've hoarded and organised thirty bits of something, you'll have a deeper understanding of the shapes and colours and wonderful uniqueness that can be found anywhere -- in rocks, leaves, sea glass, bottle tops, typography... in anything!The exercises are inspired by different creative minds, including Leonard Cohen and Tom Robbins, and ask you to try experiencing the world through all of your senses, and documenting it using different writing techniques, photography, sketching exercises, and ways of storing, organising and arranging. Space is provided in the back for limited notes, in a lovely format, which it's possible to copy so that you have unlimited pages.Keri Smith is, of course, famous for giving you books that you can destroy. This book is slightly different. Yes, you'll want to take it everywhere with you, and there are spaces to tape, glue, doodle and write inside, but this IS a book, not a coaster, not a place mat, not a chew-toy for your dog. It is not another exercise in creativity through wreckage, but explores a different source of inspiration, in the same easy-going, friendly and encouraging tone as all your other favourite Keri Smith books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Get your youngsters interested in the world around them with this book *by on Reviewed in the United States April 1, 2014* I purchased two of these books for different children, and each is using the book in their own ways to learn about the world in which they live. Not a day goes by that one or the other doesn't discover, on their own, something else amazing about the environment they occupy. Want to get your child away from the video games? Off the cell phone for hours at a time? Offer this book as a gift, and watch their knowledge grow page by page as they themselves become to authors of their own experiences in learning. These books are truly amazing, and do not have to be limited to children. Many bored adults who could use an inspiration that life doesn't have to be mundane can benefit from the use of this book. I recommend it for all ages and a book for each family member. If each one has his own book, discussions can begin at any time with everyone participating on different discoveries while the book has given each person the same suggestion for an 'assignment.' Fun and informative gift for anyone for any occasion. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and Different *by on Reviewed in the United States November 10, 2013* This is a great book for homeschoolers, all teachers, even adult writers. It's presentation is unconventional: a smorgasbord of pictures, words, and very creative graphic organizers. As students, teachers, and writers we all are prone to just get 'stuck' sometimes. This book can give a jump start to looking at things differently. Things could be anything from a chair, to cracks in the sidewalk. The book gets one to start thinking outside the box, so to speak. It is not a book meant to be read cover to cover from start to finish. It works best by randomly opening to a page an seeing how it fits with what you are trying to do. Seeing how it helps to propel you forward in your current quest. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum - Wreck This Journal: Now in Color - The Pocket Scavenger --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2346575-how-to-be-an-explorer-of-the-world-portable-life](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2346575-how-to-be-an-explorer-of-the-world-portable-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
