Travel Journal Ideas

Well, it can be many things, and if you design it yourself it will fit your needs perfectly. You can for example use it as a practical planning tool, a place to collect inspiration and vacation dreams, or as a classic journal where you write about your summer adventures day by day.

In our design tool you’ll be able to create a travel journal that’s tailored to the kind of plans you’ll be making. Apart from being personalized according to what kind of summer adventures you're planning, you can make sure it fits your style and taste visually as well. You can even upload your own pictures for the front and back cover if you want! So why not put your dream destination on the cover as inspiration!?

If you want your travel journal to be a practical tool for when you’re out on your adventure, make sure it has lots of lists where you can store important information. Space for you to write down ideas and thoughts about potential places to visit might be a good idea as well. You might want to use a dated layout and make notes about what you’re going to do each day.

Something that could be really cute and appreciated by the kids is having a family goal to try a new kind of ice cream every week and track your process in your journal!

In our design tool you can add lots of exciting pages to your journal. One example is world maps, which is perfect if you want to mark the steps of your journey!

If you’re planning to use your travel journal mostly in the dream and plan phase before your actual holiday, maybe you want something like a dot grid, lined or undated layout?

It might be important to have space for loose plans, doodling, and even scrapbooking. If you’re the creative type, you could use this kind of travel journal as a mood board and a place where you beautifully turn all your travel dreams into travel plans. Match your travel journal with an inspiring sticker sheet and there are no limits to how creative you can get in this dreamy phase of your planning process!

If you want a different way to record trip details, you might want to structure your travel journal with different trackers. Maybe you want to track how many times you’ve been swimming in the sea this summer, how far you’ve walked when exploring new cities or log all the restaurants you’ve tried and rate them? You could create a summer bucket list and track your success in doing everything on the list.

There are no limits and no rules to how you decide to use your travel journal. The important thing is that it works for you and that you’re having fun and enjoying the experience! The same thing is true about our online design tool for planners and notebooks, there are no rules and you can create a travel journal that you’re completely in love with and can’t wait to bring with you on your journey!
