It’s that time of year when everyone seems to get nipped by the travel bug. Who can blame us? The sun is out and so is school! If you’ve got a vacation or two planned this summer, I’ve got just the journal to recommend. (Of course…) And I’m sure you’ve already guessed it. Yep; a travel journal! It not only makes for the best souvenir ever, but it can also help tremendously in the planning aspect as well.
Keeping a travel journal doesn’t just have to be for globetrotters either. It’s a fun practice regardless of how often you get to vacation, or go on weekend getaways. And keeping this sort of journal is extra fun because over time, it becomes a very special and nostalgic keepsake.
Ready to get started…? See below for suggestions on what you might want to keep in your travel journal!
