DIY has the only thing that I love doing and I can say that it’s my passion also. I love to share ideas for DIY and Craft Ideas which to express the creative side of me.

The reason I share this DIY travel journal ideas is that we all love to travel, right? well, who doesn’t? That’s why having a travel journal is a must for travel junkie who travels often and to many places.
A travel journal is something that can help you during travel i.e packing list or map tracker and you can keep it as a memento for later.

So, I’m not going to talk more, here are some ideas you can use to make your own travel journal!

#5 Draw your journal
The most creative ways for you to keep a travel journal is by drawing all the places that you’ve visited. This will definitely bring the art side of you! via Behance.
#6 Keep your itinerary in your journal
Clip all the information for you to do in one day such as maps and schedule to do. It helps to organize while you’re traveling via Archzine.
#7 Keep every ticket to every place you’ve visited
Traveling a lot with trains or buses? Why not keep all the tickets and pin it on the place you’ve visited i.e you can take a Polaroid picture of the place you’ve visited and then put it together with the transportation tickets. This is a good method to know how much it cost to go there via lihaopaper.
#8 Put an envelope in the journal to keep all the stickers or travel expenses.
Too many receipts and you want something to keep it together then having an envelope is the best thing you can add to your travel journal. This also to make sure the receipts won’t lost via laural1601. You can find the same pocket like this here or here.
#9 Glued all the receipts, name cards, tickets to a book map
If you are not a writer then this idea is perfect for you. Too busy to write? why not just glued everything from your travel to a book map. Some airlines allow you to bring home a magazine and you can use that to keep all the travel expenses.
#10 Keep a journal for each trip or country you have traveled
This method is perfect when you travel for a certain period of time such as 1 month or more. You can actually keep all the memories in one journal book. This is a perfect memento for each place you’ve visited via Instagram.

Love these great ideas. I have done some scrap booking of places I have been, but got too busy. Now I just keep a journal of the dates, places we stayed, things we did, etc. I love to write so this works great for me. However, I love some of the ideas on this post and may try some of them out. Especially as we try to travel more. Definitely want to keep those wonderful memories alive. Thanks for sharing.
Great ideas for keeping up with all your travel. I especially love the idea of holding on to all your tickets.
