As you do not have areal images in your regions, you will have to use the old GPS methods (I’ve used that too, but it’s a while ago).
You go out with a GPS that’s able to save a track log, on smartphones, there are usually track log apps you can install (like osmtracker for Android).
When you come home, you upload the GPX track to OpenStreetMap (see here: osm.org/traces ) and you can start editing.
You should see a blue line where your GPS tracked you. If you remember where you walked, you can draw streets over the blue line, and give them the right names etc.

¿Do you have a GPS avaible?
