Q. I keep a travel journal ~ Isn’t that sufficient?
A. For your personal reminiscing maybe, but half the fun of a travelling adventure is the showing and sharing with family and friends when you get home ~ where you’ve been and what you’ve done ~ Do your listeners really want to know the intricate detail of what you had for breakfast on the 27th? Or do they simply want to see where you went and hear the highlights?
Q. I’m half way through my journey, isn’t it too late to start plotting my journey now?
A. Unlike a traditional travel journal that needs to start on page 1 on day 1, a Map Journal can be started at the beginning, in the middle or even after you get home (as long as you don’t leave it too long when those memories start to fade).
Q. I’m a digital person – I write a travel blog and all my photos are on line -Isn’t going back to paper a bit ‘old fashioned’?
A. I’m a digital person too! I keep a blog and love viewing my photographs on a slide show but you can’t read extracts from your travel blog and look at holiday photos at the same time on the same computer – Map Journals are a visual complement to on-line blogs and photos as they can be physically pointed to illustrating where in the world ‘that’ photo on the screen was taken, passed around to those wanting to see the detail, and highlights jotted in the borders offering memory joggers when recounting tales.
Q. I was in Australia last year – Is it worth getting a Map Journal now?
A. Yes! The highlights of your trip are not too distant to record those memories now, but as time goes on those memories will fade without those few jottings to jog the ‘ole grey matter in years to come.
Q. I’m going on my annual holiday, flying to my destination ~ So no ‘journey’ involved!
A. Where a full blown travel journal isn’t warranted Map Journals are the perfect solution for recalling annual holiday memories. Dash your flight path from home to holiday destination (use a ruler for straight lines) and arrow in its name from the nearest jotting box. There are eleven boxes around the map ideal for highlighting daily holiday adventures. Recording details of annual holidays and short breaks are sadly often overlooked ~ We’ve come to the rescue!
