In times like these, in particular, we like to dream about faraway beaches or even plan for our next trip. We’ll go through old vacation photos and for one or two of them, we might even ask ourselves, ‘where were these taken?’ In situations like this, a travel journal can be just the right thing for you.
What exactly is a travel journal? What materials do I need? If you’re asking these kinds of questions, you’ve come to the right place.
The Travel Journal – Your Companion on All Your Journeys
A trip usually begins before you take your first step. We research the country and its people, look for places of interest and plan our route. At this stage, it’s helpful to collect all the information in one place. Your travel journal can serve as this place. You can customize it to your needs. Whether you want to create simple to-do lists or draw artistic maps, its design is up to you.
As soon as you set off on your journey, your travel journal is the place where you can write down your thoughts and impressions. We often experience so many new things in foreign countries that it’s difficult to remember every detail once you return home. Thus, it can be helpful to sit down during a quiet moment and write down what you experienced during the day. You can leave room for special snapshots and either glue them in right away if you have an instant camera or take care of it later. Even things like tickets or other small souvenirs can be immortalized in your travel journal. Thus, it can serve as a place of reflection while at the same time being a wonderful, personalized travel souvenir.
After your trip is over, if you ever find yourself sitting at home filled with wanderlust on a dreary day, all you have to do is open your travel journal to experience your vacation again. Regardless of prevailing opinions, it is your personal travelogue. Perhaps even during your trip, you’ll want to write down a tip or two for your next vacation planning.
