At home, I organise my photos on my computer in folders by date and location, and I keep all loose items (brochures, ticket stubs, etc.) in a plastic folder in a box – for when I’m ready to start the scrapbook.

So far, we’ve looked at: all the different types of travel journals (sketchbook, scrapbook, notebook, logbook, friends travel journal, themed journals, local journals, city journals and travel photo albums), how to choose a travel journal (by looking at size, binding types, page types, paper thickness and additional features such as pockets and bookmarks) and what to include in your travel journal. If you don’t want your pens, markers or paint to bleed through the pages, the thickness of your paper definitely matters, so make sure to test this! So a higher GSM always means heavier paper.įor reference, the standard weight of most A4 copy paper for your printer is 20 lb. All different grades of paper are measured at the same size. The weight is now determined by one sheet of paper at a size of 1 meter by 1 meter, measured in grams. It probably makes more sense to look at GSM (“ grams per square meter“). But this can be confusing as a consumer, because different paper grades have different basic sizes, so even when the weight in pounds is higher, it doesn’t automatically mean the paper is thicker, because the basis size can be different. basis weight” (in pounds), where they look at a 500-sheet stack of the paper at its original, uncut “basic” size. In the United States for example, you have “ U.S. Paper thickness is measured in weight, which varies from country to country. This leather cover fits a 6″ Field Notes notebook perfectly. Here are some cute Field Notes books – National Parks-themed!
I love this A5 Bullet Journal, also perfect for travel.
If you’re only creating a photo album of your trip, then you could for example also look into 1:1 sized albums, like the typical scrapbooks that are 12″ (30,48 cm) x 12″ or the 1.33:1 albums, for example 6″ (15,24 cm) x 8″ (20,32 cm). And if you only create your final travel notebook at home and want to go all-out, a bigger size, such as A4, or even larger, makes you happiest! Perhaps you only want to take quick notes, or want to travel real lightweight, then an A6 travel journal (with pockets) might be best for you. The smaller ones I find hard to write in and don’t fit all my keepsakes, the bigger ones just take up too much space in my backpack.
What size is a travel journal? Well, that depends on what you use it for! Personally, I am most happy with an A5 size when it comes to travel journals. Some great customizable travel notebooks are these from bamboo by Ruben & Jule of CamperVanStore on Etsy, this beautiful leather travel diary with a compass monogram by TealsPrairie on Etsy and the leather notebook covers by family-run business Galen Leather (their journal covers are compatible with Moleskine, Leuchtturm1917, Field Notes and Traveler’s Notebook – and they also sell refills) Here is a beautiful refillable handmade leather travelers notebook by the brand Robrasim > You can also turn them into a personalized journal by having your name or the date engraved in the cover. On markets across the world, you can also find amazing leather bound journals that right away give a whole explorer-vibe to your journal. You can really add a personal touch by choosing a journal that has a relation to the kind of trip that you are taking.įor example, you can buy a travel journal locally (like I did with the albums below, that I bought in Nepal and India from the market).
