The Magic of Travel Journals

How do you save your memories from your travels?

Old school travel journals are such a great way to document your trips around the world.

You experience so much when you travel to new places, that sometimes processing it all can be pretty overwhelming.

Jotting down your thoughts, feelings and insights at the end of a long day on your trip can do wonders.

I’m a tech-savvy traveller, and yet I know the value of old fashioned stationery when it comes to capturing memories.

All the photos you post on Instagram are a wonderful way to capture memories from your travels, but a notebook gives you something else – a more personal, more precise story, a more intimate representation of your wanderlust.

Putting pen to paper has its own magic. It’s meditative. It makes you focus on what’s really significant to you.

Reading a good  travel journal is a bit like reading a good book… that you wrote yourself.

When your trip is over, reading through your journal will take you back to the places you visited, the people you met and all the adventures you had.

That feeling is priceless. It’s hard to describe. And it will definitely make you want to go and book another trip 😉

If you haven’t experienced the magic of writing a journal yet, take a beautiful travel notebook with you on your next trip.

Travel Themed Notebooks

I started designing travel themed notebooks quite recently. It made sense to me to put them in an online shop to be printed on demand, i.e. they’re printed only when you buy them.

They make beautiful, original gifts for any of your travel-loving friends, that they will actually use and appreciate, and obviously a perfect gift for yourself!

Here’s a selection of the travel journals I’ve made. You can get each either as a spiral notebook or a hardcover journal. You can also choose between ruled line or graph paper.

Dream without limits

This is pretty much the phrase I have in mind every time I plan  a new trip… so I used it as a travel notebook cover 🙂

The photo of the dreamy castle is from Krakow.

Eat well, travel often

Is this the most famous travel quote ever? I made the Eat Well Travel Often notebook with this photo-text design and will most probably make more in future…

Free Spirit

Self explanatory, isn’t it. I chose hand lettering fonts for these cute travel journals.

Photography travel journals

I experimented with using my own travel photos as background for these beautiful travel notebooks.

Travel journaling is therapeutic too!

Going on a journey is the best therapy and writing a journal while you travel is what helps it become so much more effective.

Travel Journals for digital nomads

I made these journal covers with digital nomads in mind. I’ve been one myself and it really is the best lifestyle ever.

Declare your wanderlust!
