The Thoughtful Travel Journal includes prompts and ample space for recording your travel adventures. It’s small size makes it easy to carry, while still allowing for over 150 pages for your insights and memories. The accompanying text covers ways to deepen your journaling experience. It discusses the rich history of travelogues and travel journals, as well as ways to use your journal to improve your writing and storytelling skills. There is also some discussion of how to share your journal, through blog entries or other media.
This journal will guide you through designing your travel bucket list, and help you find a style and intention for your journal. It will also help you develop your observation skills and use sensory writing to create more vivid journal entries.
A travel journal becomes a one-of-a-kind souvenir that can bring you vividly back to past adventures. Keeping a journal also helps you have a purpose to your travels, and to find meaning in your journey. You can record details in the moment that would be hard to remember later – especially if you want to create a social media post or write an article about the events at a later time. Journaling has been linked to greater self-awareness and emotional intelligence, as well as enhanced memory and self-confidence.

Sometimes journaling helps you to feel like you are on your own hero’s journey. You’re not just traveling for work or to get away from your everyday life. The travel becomes part of your life. It helps you deepen your experience of the world, while you broaden your perspective.
Anthony Bourdain once said, “It seems that the more places I see and experience, the bigger I realize the world to be. The more I become aware of, the more I realize how relatively little I know of it, how many places I have still to go, how much more there is to learn.” I have found this to be profoundly true.
Wherever you choose to go, and however you choose to record your journey, safe travels!
