Keeping a travel journal while on the road is an amazing perk of going on an adventure. We started ours last summer in New York City and it is one of the best decisions we've ever made. |
Here's why you should start a travel journal:
- It's fun to collect business cards, ticket stubs, and stickers from different restaurants, museums, and parks that you visit
- It is easier to make than your mom's scrapbook, all you need are a few supplies that can be found on any journey
- It can be personalized to any degree. Make it with simple journal entries or with involved illustrations of the day's events. Your journal can also be a collection of photos with captions and titles
- It helps you reflect on the day as you write and recount what happened
- It is incredibly interesting to look back through it to show your family and friends when you're home
While there are no set rules to follow when creating a travel journal, there are some things we consider when starting a new journal or writing an entry.
