One of my favourite things I like to add to my journal are polaroids. They are a solid picture that I can take in one moment and save in my journal forever. Also I love polaroid photos! I was so disappointed, my polaroid camera broke while I was away, so I had to pick up a new one (so worth it!)
I also stick any tickets or business cards or any little paper document that I can fit into my journal to document tours or museums that I visited. I've started picking up postcards as well to stick in to give a petter snapshot of wear I am. I've noticed some really cute hand drawn postcards around Italy, so I've been picking those up for my trip.
I sometimes get creative and draw little pictures in, but I'm not very good at drawing, so that doesn't happen very often...
Hope you enjoyed seeing inside my travel journal!!
Ciao from Florence!

Loved this post Laura! I used to journal on all my holidays but now I only do a couple of days and forget haha! But like you I am obsessed with Polaroid pictures so I think I will give this a go on my upcoming trip to Bali! It looks so good and I love your hand drawn doodles too - it gives it character and a personal touch :) x
ReplyDeleteI never knew what to do with all the polaroids I took haha and then I was like 'why not stick them in my journals...?' and it's been a love love relationship ever since haha
DeleteI journal when I'm on holidays too! I do it at home as well, but not that often these days. Half the time I just take my normal diary with me, but for my upcoming trip I've got a dedicated journal just for that. Mine's all words & recollections of the day & events etc - I'm nowhere near as detailed as you are with photos & the like! Btw, you have lovely handwriting Laura. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh thank you!! Most of it's just hurried scrawl haha xx
DeleteLoving your travel journal and the polaroid pictures are the perfect instant photo and size to add!
ReplyDeleteLoved having a sneak peak into your journal. I use to journal years ago, and stick things in there, but I don't anymore. I have a Polaroid, so I'll definitely be keen to do a travel journal next time I travel. Yours looks so cool.
ReplyDeletewhat a great idea!! I really want a polaroid camera to quickly document things in my life. Love this post :)
ReplyDeleteall these products are new to me! But i'm slowly easing more towards natural skincare - I went to a DIY workshop recently and it's ridiculously easy

I love journalling when I'm on holidays and it has to be a written journal as opposed to a digital journal! It creates such a lovely momento from the holiday which when I read back to myself later transports me right back to that time on holidays!
ReplyDeleteMaybe because I'm a writer in my day job, I just don't have the patience or inclination to journal when travelling. Luckily the hubster does it instead, it's amazing how quickly you forget where you did things.
ReplyDeleteI love it! I've always wanted to create a travel journal on my holidays but I never get the time and I worry it won't look good enough! Yours looks fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteAhh Firenze! I have such fond memories ♥ Wish there'd been an internet when I did all my travelling - this is such a beaut idea Laura ♥
