“It’s been 12 years since my last art lesson, but recently I decided to spend less time in front of a [computer] screen when I travel” When I heard Candace declare this on a video a few years ago my interest was instantly piqued. How many amongst us have also not drawn since primary school? […]
Travelling comprises of: Dream Plan Experience Share Here, on Journey Jottings, we mainly talk about the second two – travel experiences and how to record those memories for sharing and future enjoyment. But some people don’t only journal after the event, […]

Certainly, for me, it’s been the most successful travel journal I’ve ever kept. A mere glance at any page brings my travel memories vividly, and instantly, back to life without having […]

Do you love the idea of reminiscing with a travel journal but after missing a few days feel all is lost? On a recent trip to Europe Linda tried a storyboard journal approach to her travel journaling – which she sometimes calls story mapping!
