5 Reasons To Start A Travel Journal Right Now

I have kept many journals over the years and due to my love of travel, they have all turned
into travel journals along the way. Here are some reasons why you should start a travel
journal for yourself right away!
1. Its a fun way to plan your next trip! Download and print off maps and pictures of
where youre going. Write up a bucket list for the things you want to do when you arrive.
Have fun and get inspired!
2. Document your adventures! Write about what you did, how you got lost and glue in
concert tickets, photos, postcards and train stubs. Add anything that reminds you of where
youve been so you have beautiful collages to remember your trip by.
3. Use your travel journal to day dream! What better way to fantasize about all the
places you have yet to explore? Its a great way to stay inspired about where you want to
go while you have to stay where you are.
4. Use all of your inspiration to motivate you! Add a budget into your journal for how
you will save up for your next adventure. Additionally you can include how you will
spend money during your adventure! Maps, clippings and all those pictures of the Eiffel
Tower will help motivate you to save save save!
5. Travel journals are beautiful and so much fun to make! I often find that writing or
gluing old photos into my travel journal really helps me to relax when Im stressed out.
More and more studies are being done to show that drawing, colouring and art are good
for your brain and promote relaxation. Furthermore who doesnt love being able to look at
something beautiful and say I made that!
