US TRAVEL JOURNAL FREE

These links are added with their knowledge and permission so feel free to click through, see more of their great travel journal creations and follow any of them who inspire your own creativity. To help illustrate some of the ideas and different styles I’ve included images below not only from my own journals but links to travel journal pages on Instagram from others in the community. When I open it months or years later I want to remember how a place or experience made me feel and not to have it read like Wikipedia.įinding the balance between creative journaling and not carrying an excess of pens and materials is possible especially with a few innovative ideas and using the tools and decorative materials you naturally come across each day. Recording my memories is key but I don’t want to spend half my time while I’m travelling writing down facts and figures. I like my travel journals to be colourful, creative and fun to flip through. I also often opt for a reporters notebook that fits in my pocket or purse to scribble down my thoughts and use them to create pages in my journal later. I like to take a few minutes in a cafe, over a drink or unwinding back at our accommodation to jot things down. You can always journal when you return home but writing regularly and while in the environment provides inspiration that will help you move beyond how ‘great’ and ‘beautiful’ a place was and capture what it was that stirred your emotions and lock in those moments that made it truly special. I’m always on the search for creative travel journal ideas and inspiration and these are some of my current favourites. I know it's not very pretty, and I know it will be annoying to some, but being a travel blog reader myself, I appreciate being able to easily click and get to the information I want to read about.Incorporate some of these tips into your next travel diary and you’ll create lasting memories of your trips for years to come. That means I have created a very long list of categories on the sidebar of our USA Travel Journal. I'm adamant about our readers being able to search for what they are most interested in. So, you won't see information about hotels or other accommodations in our posts. We have chosen Journal entries from 2005 through 2017 that highlight parks (especially National Parks), hikes, paddling, boat excursions, birding, and wildlife.Īnd the other thing to note is that, since 2005, all of our United States travels that are documented here have been accomplished using our 39-foot fifth wheel in campgrounds across the country as our base of operations. Therefore, on this website, our USA Travel Journal (aka blog) includes our travels from late 2005 forward that we think are of more interest to a broader travel audience than our well-established RVing audience. We did better on our 2004 trip to Alaska, but our camera equipment wasn't great and the photos aren't of the quality we want to present here (nor do they do convey the beauty and expansiveness of our experience). So, we don't have good records and photos of our trips to Hawaii and other places around the country in our early years.

travels in a diary or journal form until we quit our corporate jobs, sold our house and all our stuff, and became full-time RVers in 2005. Though we have been all across the country and at least traveled through every state, we didn't really start documenting our U.S.

This page is dedicated more to the overview of our United States travels and what you will find here on this website. The brief history of our traveling life is documented on the ' Our Travels' overview page.
