I do like sitting down at the end of the day and gathering my thoughts and memories onto paper, its a good way of reflecting. Mostly I write daily, although not always. So, find a way to journal which suits you, and this may differ, depending on the kind of trip you are on. Keeping a travel journal should be enjoyable and enhance your trip rather than become a task to tick off on a to-do list. Most importantly I would say, it should not be a chore. How you choose to travel journal is as individual as you are. In fact I always keep a small notebook in my hand bag so I can jot down particular observations or thoughts I have in the moment, that I can later transfer to my journal. When on holiday, I often find myself looking at a particularly beautiful scene or interesting building, thinking about how I will describe it when I write about it later. In the same way blogging helps me focus on things I am doing and look at places in a different way, I think travel journalling does the same. Its a lovely way of being transported back to a place or a time long forgotten. So many memories always come flooding back. I quite often pluck one randomly from the shelf and start reading. I have so many journals which I have kept over the years, that I now have a whole shelf in a book case to house all my travel journals, and I love dipping into them from time to time. There seems to be something particularly important about keeping a record of the places I am visiting, and capturing those memories in print. Never more so than when on holidays or travelling. I’ve talked on many occasions about the pleasure I get from keeping a journal.
