Using Your Journal for Travel Planning
I love to travel and, for me, planning the trip is all part of the fun! There are two main ways I use my Bullet Journal for travel planning. Firstly, for planning the actual trip and itinerary, and secondly for documenting the trip while I’m away or when I get home.
Planning Your Trip
This type of spread is created before you travel to help plan all the details of your trip. I used the Oops a Daisy Travel stencil to draw icons such as the plane, suitcase and camera to list itinerary details and make my spread more interesting.
I also like to add in some key details about the country I am visiting such as: Currency, Language, Capital City and Population.
The main detail of the spread was drawn using my old favourite, the Staedtler Pigment Liner in black. Colour was added to the spread using Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils.
Capturing Memories
Once the planning is done and the trip is complete, I often want to document the things that I’ve seen and done. I love to use more of a scrapbook style to save ticket stubs and other souvenirs that I have collected.
After a trip to Belfast I created the spread below. I wanted to replicate the stunning street art by using graffiti style text for the central title. I loved this text so much that I then created a Graffiti Text Stencil so that I (and others!) can replicate it more easily!
To help with future travel planning I have created a printable travel planning worksheet, which you can download to use in your own journal.
