Our Favorite Tips for Keeping a Travel Journal

11 Comments

Travel journals are a fun and creative way to remember your most meaningful travels. While I record my favorite tips, tricks, and locations here at A Friend Afar, I knew I wanted to start a handwritten journal to record how these destinations make me feel. Starting a travel journal was something I thought about for a long time before I started writing because I was worried that I would start one and then quickly give it up or forget to write in it. I did a lot of searching through Pinterest for inspiration, and I was honest with myself about what would work for me and what would not work. Below are my favorite tips for starting a travel journal and keeping up with it as you seek out more adventures.

If you’ve been following us for a while, you may remember me blogging about my trip to Cuba in early April. In the Cuba Shopping Finds post, I wrote the following about the postcard I sent home from Havana: “I still haven’t received the one I sent myself, and I doubt I ever will. Though if I do, I will be so excited!” I am excited! I did give up on it ever arriving about a month into waiting but should’ve known to be patient and wait on “Cuba time.” I love sending postcards when I’m traveling and it was perfect how we found the stand selling them without really going out of our way to search for them. -Stephanie

Stephanie at A Friend Afar

Stephanie grew up road-tripping across the U.S., but her first flight was to Australia, and she’s been hooked ever since. She lived abroad in Thailand, where she met Meagan, and in Ghana with Peace Corps and has been to over 30 countries on 6 continents. She travels for the adventure, the stories, and nature.
