Travel Journal
Push the boundaries of experience
Getting there is the first step.
Immerse yourself in a new setting. Take a note, write a poem, unleash your inner creative with inspirational muses you’ve not seen before. Try on every new experience and see what fits. Your travel journal will assure you this experience is real!
Travel Journal Ideas
Anticipation is half the journey. A Leatherpress travel journal is there for you. Plan your itinerary, pick out the spots you know you’ll love, and some you’ll take a risk on. Forget efficiency. Sometimes the long way round is the most interesting. Make a packing list and cross out half of it. Travel light. Fill up your travel diary instead.
Whether you wing it, or reserve your train seat in advance, your adventure journal holds all these ideas together. A notebook for traveling makes all those plans and memories stay in your head just a little longer. Choose from a pocket travel journal if you're short on space or a bigger one that you can use for your next trip, too. Download our Travel Journal Template for more ideas.

An itinerary is always a good idea and fits neatly into the planning section of your travel journal notebook. Museums and monuments may have times of entry that are essential to know – though we can’t always predict an Uffizi gallery strike! Keep a loose grip on your plans, sometimes the most memorable moments happen off script. So be prepared to let go of your travel journal when you need to! Store your trip log in the back pocket of your Inspire journal for easy reference.
Travel Gifts
Gadgets and gear are great, but a travel journal has lasting value beyond the trip itself. Years later, tales of adventure are remembered and relived as you look through your journal. Longer treks may use up a whole journal, while others become an epic of travels over the years. A trip notebook from the Heritage or Inspire Leatherpress Collections makes the perfect gift for a traveler.
Travelers Notebook
A notebook for traveling will provide a steady routine for your trip, even if you're writing in a different city every day! Take your exploration journal out on the town or make it a backpacking journal for your month-long hike. Your trip log will preserve the way you felt on that solitary mountain retreat or that fun-filled reunion with your college friends. The best travel journal will be the one you make uniquely yours.
Travel Journaling
Skip the Instagram photos, ditch the travel journal app, and instead document your experience with pen and paper. See beyond the camera as you write out the waves of thought and feeling in a wanderlust journal. Writing is a great excuse for stillness, a coffee, and a chance to get down a snippet of your experience. Write in paragraph form or headline form – you’ve curated the trip for you, so capture the moment in your own way. Take your pick of travel journal notebooks from our Heritage or Inspire Journal lines.
Traveler’s Journal Ideas
Life experience tells us that ideas strike when we least expect it. Extraordinary moments happen when we’re not looking for them. So don’t forget your Leatherpress travel planner journal when you’re off to the beach or the mountains for a quiet getaway. Record gratitude, the sight of rosy time at dusk, how your children enjoy the fresh air. Your next best business idea might strike you between the eyes as you relax on the beach. Your travel diary could just become the start of a lifelong adventure.
