Have you ever made a travel journal?

Yes, it's so much fun to journal about a trip, or during a trip. Your pages turned out very cute!

Right? Such a fun activity and way to preserve memories! And thank you so much!

My husband has learned how much I like the little paper scraps from our travels and now will even ask me if I've remembered to pick up some bag or business card-it's contagious!

Your husband is the best!! So nice of him to join in with your papery goodies collection ❤️

Enjoyed your video! I love to watch people’s travel journals/scrapbooks and get a feel for the places they went but also what ephemera they gathered and how they include it. Betty’s looks so fun and I would have grabbed all the little bits of paper too! Haha. One tip if I may share from my own travel memory keeping: receipts fade over time, some more quickly than others - so I like to photocopy mine or photograph them and print on paper, so they last longer!

Aw thanks! I have already made a few of these so found my style, plus I think it helped that I sped everything up. I definitely did a lot of pausing and thinking in between, I promise. What I do like about this size and this kind of memory project, is that both the page is quickly filled, plus the memory is “more distracting” than the page itself, so I do not notice mistakes when flipping through! Good luck with your project. You can do it! 😀👏

I love how detail you are in everything. Your journal is so cute. 😍😍

Remind what this thing called 'Travel' is? Loved your video. I'm looking forward to being able to travel again. I have a travel journal I add to each trip we make. It's one from Letts of London from PlannerCon Europe 2019. Thanks for some great tips and ideas for future use.

I was always thinking - if I go for 10 days and I have 32 pages in the journal what should I do about it? Use it for two trips or just leave it empty. So I really like your idea to make more than one spread per day and divide number of pages by number of days. Thank you!

Thanks so much Pam!! I have the same with a box of all kinds of memories and trip mementoes. I have purchased a simple blank notebook and I have decided to just stick things down. I do want to group things together and just leave a blank page (to decorate?) in between. Both to get it out of the way and stuck down, and to save the paper goodies for the future! So no for me the not in date order will not matter. Good luck!

I get it! It can be really daunting!! But I try to weigh the “oh gosh it has to be perfect” versus the “oh gosh this pile of stuff to work through is GINORMOUS” 😂 and that last one usually wins so I just have to start with it. You could look into maybe a loose paper system? Punching them to fit in a binder? Or a large planner?

What do you call it if you don’t take big trips very often but you take mini day trips or weekend trips you want to document the paper ephemera that you collect from those little mini adventures? Would you still call it a travel journal…?

I've found that receipts always fade after a few years, best to make a photocopy then use it for journaling.
