here’s some travel journal ideas to share if you are planning for on the road documentation. I’ve wanted to do mine for the past few trips but it’s really futile. Empty pages back home, if I ever try, i’ve only manage a page of words and no pictures to tell the story. I guess this trip, I’ll do more of it. Bring along my instax as well!

Shimelle Laine‘s Travel Journal

There’s an extensive tutorial of how the journal was made from here.

Ali’s version of Travel Journal

I really like the Amy Tangerine‘s free spirited type, especially good for less preparation to bind, and glue the pages. There’s one on Brazil and one on Boston-NYC trip. Her simple pre-trip prep:

1. make a little book before the trip
2. take along some supplies
3. glue stuff in as I go.

And if you are really really too busy for a self make travel journal, try this, buy it from Moleskine online. All that’s necessary to know about the city is in the book, it’s good for leisure or for business.

However, i especially love the Cahier Book from Moleskine. This would make a good Travel Journal. You can even alter the cover once you are home to touch up the journal.

So, let me not be ambitious, my road trip will then be pack as follow (hope I will document faithfully!)

1. Moleskine Cahier Large Notebook

2. Tape Glue

3. Mini staple kit

4. Mini one hole puncher  

5. Black pen/photo pen (acid-free)

6. Fuji Instax Camera (lots of film rolls)
