Thank you for this! I am going on a 6 week holiday to Europe, my first ever overseas, and I agree about the attractive book thing The one I got looks really nice with like famous attractions and like a suitcase, all with a nice colour scheme, and its really thick too I cant stop taking it out and admiring it! It also has a little pocket to put train tickets and things in too I went on this site to see how I would write it, and this gave me lots of ideas! Thank you Oh and I shall make an index good idea! x

I enjoyed reading all your tips and pointers. I’ve been planning to have my trips and vacations on writting but never really had the chance. Everytime me and my best friends go out we always have something crazy happening. To top it all, we got lost, miss a turn or take the wrong road to nowhere like today! The trip to Multnomah falls was just an adventure. I really need to have a journal. I’m sorry for this long email. goodluck to us all. Happy travelling.

I agree completely, Sheila. Especially the special people you’re sure you’ll never forget … I tend to write all kinds of neurotic things in my travel journals assuming the worst about my memory. Sometimes the act of writing helps me remember anyway – but if not, then at least I’ve got something to refer to. That way I can relive all these great experiences when I’m sitting in a boring desk job somewhere dreaming of another trip …

I just started keeping a travel journal about a year ago. I wish that I had started keeping one 10 years ago. It’s sad to think of all the great memories I could have recorded from many years past. *sigh*

One thing I like to add in my journal is the names of people that I meet on my travels. It seems like on each trip there is a special person who goes out of their way to be helpful or friendly and I always like to record that person’s name in my journal. It tends to solidify the memories.
