SEVEN｜Travel Journal

A travel journal for recording memories of fun trips.

Memorabilia collected while traveling, such as commemorative stamps stamped at the airport, Baggage Claim tags attached to checked suitcases, free magazines received at the ferry terminal, shop cards, food and drink packaging unique to the area, etc., are essential items to have in your travel journal.

For those who don't record their travel memories, it may just be a piece of paper or trash. Even a chopsticks wrapper with the name of a restaurant written on it can one day become a key to opening a drawer of memories, making you think, "Oh, that sea grape appetizer over there was delicious!"

You can take a notebook with you on your trip and record the moments as they happen, or you can take your time recording after you've returned from your trip and have had time to calm down, but I prefer the latter.

In the past, I used to enjoy traveling, including journaling while traveling and at the end of the day, but that's not possible with a child who needs to be watched. I now enjoy every minute of the trip 120% and enjoy my travel journaling time after the trip.

However, since you never know when you'll be able to start writing your travel journal, make sure to write down "when, where, and what you did" while traveling and keep all your memorabilia in one place.

Looking back at past travel journals can be a special experience as you reminisce about your travels.
