For the past few weeks I've been traveling with my husband and I wanted to share this simple travel journal that I've been keeping along the way! The concept is simple... Purchase (or make) a journal you love and bring a small pair of scissors and a roll of tape with you as you travel. Each day add bits and pieces from your travels. I've saved receipts, menus, airplane tickets, photo booth pics and more.
Have you kept a travel journal in the past? I highly recommend it! It's fun to organize all the bits and pieces into a cute book full of random memories! xo. elsie
So cute! :)

Very cute idea. I did something like this during my undergrad, and I treasure it. Pics and notes from school, from trips, friends - it's a keepsake for sure.

This is such a cute idea! I love the menu page! It makes it easy to remember the restaurant the next time you're back there!

I used to keep all sorts of bits and pieces in my everyday journal. Makes it so much more special when looking back!

I'm heading to Nicaragua for work in a couple of weeks and I'm totally going to do this! I worry that I may not have time to keep up with it while I'm working, so I may just bring an envelope to fill with things and then put them in a notebook once I return.
Did you make your notebook? It's super cute!

Oh yes, I've kept journals since I was 5 (!) - also have a couple of real, written entries from when I was 4, and I've mostly had separate journals for travels. I often make them myself and even started selling them when I started my business.

I have done one travel diary without images, just the text describing the trip.
I'll do this for sure in my next road trip... !

I love this post! I recently wrote about keeping a travel journal as well. I love looking at my journals from the past. Great idea to hold on to receipts and other things from the trip!
