Travel Journals?

[lassarina]

Hello journaling friends! I have been bullet journaling for several years and I think I might like to take up travel journaling, but in addition to what I can find on the wide Interwebs, I thought I'd consult the community knowledge base!

Do you travel journal? During a trip or after? What do you consider essential? Other thoughts? (I barely even know what I'm asking, I just keep seeing the term and ordered a beautiful new notebook I have no plans for, so....might as well!)

Thanks in advance ♥

Pretty sure this was before we "met" each other, but I went to Detroit to see Dear Friends when I missed the concert here. I brought at AlphaSmart along (it was before I had a smartphone... man, that was a while ago, wasn't it?) and did lots of typing on it. The entries are here: https://xnera.dreamwidth.org/tag/detroit

I'm glad I did it because there are things I would have forgotten about the trip if I hadn't. In my case, I was traveling alone so it was easy to find the time to write (the train trip helped!). These days, I'm not sure if I would bring pen/paper or just use my tablet/phone or what have you. Probably the latter. Have fun with your travel journal, and safe travels!

Oh, wow, AlphaSmart, I hadn't heard about those in a minute. I'm usually pretty good about typing up stuff for DW, but I am feeling the urge to a. use all my pretty supplies and b. have something tangible in addition to the text dump. This trip can be an experiment!
