Travel Journal

Keeping a travel journal is something I often do when I'm going away to visit somewhere, even if I have been to the place before. 

I'm sure a lot of people will think of a travel journal as being kept in a travellers note book or some other kind of bound book. 

However, I think a Compact or Slimline Filofax would serve as a great travel journal. You have more flexibility as to what pages the journal contains and you can archive the pages each year. You have the option of slotting in extra pages too. Of course you also don't end up with a half finished notebook either. 

Having convinced myself that this would be a great idea, I started gathering together some templates from our existing ones and designed some new ones as well.

I put together this daily travel journal page from a few examples on-line and adapted it to Personal Size. 

On the reverse side I've just left it for notes for that day. That way you can archive the individual days or keep them in reverse order. 

And I thought a simple index page would be useful to go with these pages. 

Looking through our own list of file templates, I was also able to pick out some suitable files to go with these new files for inclusion in a Filofax Travel Journal. 

Here are the links to the documents in Word and PDF format, they have been left fairly plain, so you can adjust them to your taste easily. 

All are set for printing on to Personal Size blank paper with the exception of the Time Zone map. 

Clicking on the file titles below will give you a preview of the file.

I hope you like this collection of files to enable you to put together a Filofax Travel Journal that meets your own needs perfectly. 

Now to just pick a suitable organiser from my collection for a Travel Journal.
