Posted by SaraQ on October 25th, 2008Travel Book Field Test, Italy
Posted by SaraQ on October 12th, 2008
I just got back from Italy- a month ago. Like most of you out there I’m terrible at gathering my photos, thoughts and momentos from a trip together once the reality of being home and catching up with all of the laundry and e-mails hits. So this time I tried a little experiment, I whipped up a little travel journal for myself before the trip, with text paper in the front and drawing paper in the back- and a handy little elastic closure to keep it all closed and tidy as it got tossed from suitcase to camera bag. I jotted down notes at museums, lists of what I ate (turns out, lots of gelato and prosciutto), sketches of my fellow train passengers, and bad late-night wine induced poetry- all that good stuff. Now that I’m home I have a pretty good record of my trip, even if most of my photos are still sitting on the hard-drive of my computer rather than out on Flickr to share (some images have made it to Flickr, check it here if you’re curious).
Inspired, I’m happy now to offer a new Re:Paper format book- the little travel journal. The covers are made from upcycled scraps of map and travel themed papers, so whether you’re going to Paris or just around the corner the book is “appropriate” in theme. I’ve also “upgraded” my field test version with a little flat pocket in the back cover, perfect for stashing you train ticket or hotel key card when you’re on the go. One journal is currently listed in my Etsy store, but I’ve got a few more sitting in stock on my shelves. And as always I’m happy to make a custom version if you have a particular map/ size/ color/ paper-type/ etc. in mind. Happy trails!
