Before grabbing your passport and setting off on your adventure, you can gather some travel scrapbook ideas. Bag yourself a scrapbook-style book, like our Softcover Photo Journal and a packet of pens – we’re going old-school. Start by documenting the basics and a mini itinerary. Travel journal ideas: Where you’re going (and why) Who you’ll be travelling with – if it’s a solo trip, get that selfie stick ready How you’ll get there What you hope to see there, from the must-see landmarks to the ‘if there’s time’ places How you’re feeling pre-travel – is it your first trip overseas?
If you’re taking your travel journal with you, scribble down notes as you go, or tap them into your phone notes to write in full later. You can track how much you’re spending too, like how much it costs for an evening meal or to travel by the area’s local transport. Travel journal ideas: The landmarks you saw – every statue, mountain, and native animal The food you ate – because you simply *had* to try every local delicacy.
Collect keepsakes to stash in your journal: plane tickets, museum passes, that *stunning* shell that just had to come home with you. Use all your senses – it might feel like you’ll ‘never forget this moment’, but you might just do. Scribble down the smells, the textures, the sounds that wake you up and help you to nod off. Get creative – why not add some illustrations? Try drawing the sunset or using colour to capture the mood
