As covered in the e-Course, I prepped a Traveler’s Notebook insert before my 2023 trip, creating a spread for each day. I brought only the insert and a pen, picking up colored pencils and a few stickers along the way.
Each night, I quickly jotted down the day’s experiences—just the facts—without stressing about saving space for photos or memorabilia, which felt incredibly freeing! When I returned home, every detail was at my fingertips, allowing me to take my time to really document the trip, knowing I had everything captured on paper.
One of the biggest reasons I love documenting my trips this way is because it takes all the pressure off.
Instead of packing half your craft room, trying to decide what supplies to bring, and then sitting down at the end of a long day wondering how much space to leave for photos, what memorabilia you'll want to include, how to decorate the page, and where to even begin... you simply write down the story.
In just 15–20 minutes, you capture the day's highlights while they're still fresh in your mind. No overthinking. No designing. No worrying about where photos or tickets will go later. Just the memories.
Then, when you return home, you can pull out your favorite supplies, print your photos, gather your memorabilia, and enjoy the creative process without the pressure of trying to remember all the little details. The stories are already there—you've already done the hard part.
I find this approach so much more enjoyable because after a full day of exploring, I'm usually tired! The last thing I want to do is make creative decisions. By separating the documenting from the decorating, I get the best of both worlds: I preserve the memories while they're fresh, and I get to enjoy creating beautiful pages when I have the time and energy.
