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
Aww, that is so adorable! I love it.

I did one once but it got bulky very fast, how do you avoid that?

This is such a wonderful idea! When I travel more I'll definetly start one! :)

Love this idea - especially the idea of it being all done by the time you get home from the trip! I'm always putting off projects... (aka forgetting them, ooooops!)

This is such a fun idea! I love keeping little things like this when I travel, but I never thought of putting them together in a journal. I'm so excited to try it next time!

I ran across an ADORABLE faux leather journal with a flower burned into it and for months i have been trying to find a good use for it. I just found out today that I'm going on a spontaneous road trip this weekend, what a perfect idea!

I've tried several different methods for travel journals, and found using binder rings the best for me - allows me to fit so much more in.
Ex: Alaska journal w/ fixed binding:

Scotland journal w/ rings:

Both are fun, of course - as long as you're traveling! :)

I adore this idea! It makes me desperately want to travel...though I suppose the idea could be adapted for an everyday journal :)

This is such a fun way to document a trip. Oh man, I wished I was as diligent as you! I never have the patience to finish a trip journal.

I love this idea for keeping a travel journal! These are generally the type of things that I wished I had saved after the fact, and this way it's so much more in the moment. I'm definitely trying this next time I go out of town.

I once had my regular journal with me on a long road trip and my cousin and I filled four pages with the most random sketches and notes documenting the trip. It's one of my favorite journal entries to look back on!
