25 Travel Journals You Need for Your Next Adventure

25 Travel Journals You Need for Your Next Adventure

Even though we all travel with laptops or tablets, there is something therapeutic about pouring out your hopes, dreams, frustrations, and irritations onto a page of paper. Even if you don’t think of yourself as a writer or an artist, keeping a travel journal is an amazing way to connect with your journey in a way that photographs alone can’t always capture. Make lists of all the flavors of gelato you try, glue train ticket stubs onto the pages, and draw funny caricatures while you’re waiting in airports. Whether you want classic leather or a tiny pocket notebook, these stylish and tough journals would be perfect for any adventure.
