Who it's for
Travellers who want more than photos, families keeping holiday memories with children, students on study abroad, and anyone going on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Grandparents travelling with grandchildren, and families on a first trip abroad, often use it as a shared journal that everyone adds to each evening.
Getting the most from a travel journal.
Write a little every evening
Five minutes at the end of each day is enough. A few lines written on the day are worth more than pages written at home.
Use the prompts
Highlights, food, people and a funny moment are what you'll want to remember. They make it easy to start.
Stick in tickets and receipts
Use the photo box for ticket stubs, museum entries, labels or a pressed flower on paper copies.
Add photos digitally
In GoodNotes, drop a photo into the box each evening. It turns the journal into a travel scrapbook.
Note the small things
A street name, a phrase you learned, what the bakery smelled like. These details fade first.
Write a final page
On the last day or on the way home, write what you loved most, what surprised you and what you'd do differently next time.
