This is the beginning of a great journal entry.

Is there a theme? As a whole, what did the day mean to you? What did you learn? How did you change? What surprised you? State one of these in one sentence or a series of three short sentences. Find your theme: Consider all the things that made you smile.
If you want you can even itemize these under a heading: What Made Me Smile Today. Your smile indicates an important moment. As you do take note of what makes you smile. When you can take the time to sit down and think back over the day, think about the places you went, the people you met, the food you ate, the scents you took notice of, your activities and the things you learned. Miss a few days and sometimes the practice of writing a journal can be lost for the entire trip so try to make a notation daily, no matter how small. Writing every day, even small details, will help you maintain your momentum. Every entry doesn't have to be brilliant.Allow lots of space between points so you can keep track of how your itinerary changes as you travel. Rough out your itinerary in a few pages at the front of your journal. It could be the classic Moleskine Notebook or one that is a little more fun such as I Was Here. I like a notebook and pen as the information will never be lost with a technology change and the journals look great on your shelf. More concerned about having enough writing space? Go all out with a larger format design.This is a fun and inspiring travel journal. Not a lot of space to sacrifice? Go for something light and slim. Consider how much room you have in the bag you’ll carry daily on your trip. You can find travel journals of all sizes, so it’s hard to define “standard.” Most travel journals are slightly smaller than the notebooks you’d take notes in for school. Dotted formats allow for a mix of both writing and drawing. Unlined page formats are good if you find yourself doodling often. Lined pages are great for traditional journaling. Generally, there are three page formats: lined, unlined, and dotted. If so, opt for a design that allows refillable page inserts. Once you figure out if you want guided or unguided writing space, think about if you plan to use the journal repeatedly. More recently, travel journals featuring writing prompts have been popping up-everything from list-making journals to mindfulness journals for recording memories during your trip. There are all kinds of travel journals out there, so it’s best to know what you want to use them for. What to Look for When Buying a Travel Journal Type
#Atlas travel journal archive#
We also like the archive that lets you organize where you’ve stayed, eaten, shopped, and visited, so you always have the information on hand when your conversation turns to “that one really good restaurant in Bloomsbury.” The pages (76 of which are blank for journaling) include large-scale maps of the city along with a street index, a map of the city’s metro system, and 12 translucent, repositionable sticky page overlay sheets so you can keep track of your routes. Inside the notebook, you’ll find plenty of ways to organize your trip while you’re in the planning stages and on the ground. With cities like London, Istanbul, Prague, Madrid, and San Francisco, there’s a version available for plenty of major travel destinations. Moleskin’s City Notebook series of journals is excellent for travelers who can’t bear to leave their everyday Moleskine at home but want to keep their travel reflections separate.
