20 Things That Need To Be In Your Travel Journal

We’ve all seen those Insta-worthy, “oh-my-god how could any travel journal be so pretty,” and secretly prayed to the Pinterest gods that one day we may be able to create something as beautiful. Eventually, I faced my fears and created my own and here’s what I added!

1. Plane Tickets.

2. Polaroid Pictures.

Grab your Fujifilm camera and take those artsy pics!

3. Event Ticket Stubs.

Print off mini “Starry Night” paintings to remember all the beautiful work you’ve seen.
