Do you notice street sculptures when in an urban landscape? I love them! If I’m in the city, it usually means I’m on a quest – My head-space is pre-occupied as I focus on: where I’ve got to get to when I’ve got to be there by, and what I’ve got to do once there… …busy, busy… […]
Last week I came across a column by Keith Jenkins of Velvet Escape titled: ‘What travel means‘ Technically, travel means to go from one place to another, or to make a journey (particularly of some length). Yet as language evolves, the word ‘trip’ seems to better convey this simple act of going from A to B. Whilst ‘travel’, on […]
Each month, I grab one of our Map Journals and enter a *highlight* in one of the eleven boxes that surround the central pictorial map of Australia. When 2011 comes to a close, I can then re-view the year neatly summarized on a single sheet ~ My advancements, my successes, things I’ve achieved or done but […]
Each month we have a themed travelling tales competition on our Facebook page (winner receives a Journey Jottings bundle of products) This last month (with Valentines Day on February 14th) the theme… ROMANCE Genevieve Frew Husband #1 and I were engaged when I went on my big overseas backpacking trip.

Last year, I initiated a monthly post where I looked back at the preceding 4 weeks and using one of the 11 boxes surrounding our hand drawn Australia Map Journal, recorded a *highlight*. Over the course of the year I created a sheet simply summarizing ‘2010 ~ Year at a Glance’ It was such fun looking back and […]

Being so close to the December festive season synonymous with feasting and making merry… and then New Years resolutions, which so often involve diets 😉 The Facebook Travelling Tales theme this month is: *FOOD* What delectable tasty’s have you relished? What horrendous ‘foods’ have passed your lips? What gastronomic delights have you savoured on your travels from around […]
Today I signed off the proofs for our new 5th edition Australia Mail-It Map. Its a point of no return when you’ve made what feels like a million decisions, and there’s no turning back as the printing plates are produced and the press starts to roll 😉 Each edition develops a character of its own as […]
At the end of each month during 2010 I looked back and notated the highlight of the preceeding 4 weeks in one of the boxes on an Australia Map Journal ~ The idea, quite simply, was to simply summarize the year on a single sheet ~ So at year’s end I’d have my 2010 year at […]
