It's been so much fun watching your travel journal spreads. I use a Traveler Sized notebook for my travel journal. I have one journal for my travels with Tony and then another for my solo travels. I like the idea you had to put the sample itinerary in the journal. I liked seeing how you used the postcards too. Thanks for all the inspiration!!!!!!

[@julia-here]

Ooo! I wanna see your spreads, what?! 😍

[@Kindlelover88]

Holy moly, you’re impressive. My husband and I are in our 50s and we’re really trying to travel so much as we can before we retire because it gets harder as you get older and it’s more expensive and I’m so excited that you guys are starting young. I also have been trying to figure out how to document my trips as we just got back from Iceland from a two week trip. I have journals and I have planners that I keep up-to-date but like you it’s easier to travel with something small I know you said you have a blog, but will you ever be creating a KZbin video to show your travels thank you so much for the inspiration and all the insight. It’s super helpful. I appreciate you.

[@julia-here]

Hey there! Thanks so much for the kind words (and oh wow! Iceland has definitely been on my list) - I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Going but I’ve subscribed to their service and get flight deals and mistake fares daily (which gets tempting 🥲) but it’s definitely helped travel be more affordable. We also spend less money at home so we are able to prioritize travel. I have a few videos on KZbin for the Belize, Portugal, and Spain trips if you’re interested on checking those out! Hoping that carrying something small with me works a little better though 🤞🏽🤞🏽 Thanks for the kind words! 🥰

[@candaceestrada5744]

Wow! You’ve traveled so much!! That’s amazing!! I really like your style of art. How you mix in pictures, memorabilia and your art! Very cool.

[@julia-here]

Thank you!! Definitely fun to look back on! 💕We save our pennies to be able to take off to the next place and I’m always on the hunt for deals to make travel happen 💪🏽

[@annesmith7143]

I love the way you journaled your travels.

[@vitoriasouto7702]

[@julia-here]

You totally should! :) I’m not leaving it completely.. just changing it up a tad. It’s so fun to look back on so totally worth it I say! :))

[@julia-here]

Ayooo!! Look at that timing! ✨🥳 (and thank you!!)

[@misscarmen491]

Dear Julia, Thank you for sharing this beautiful journal. Very inspiring as I have just started the journey of travel journaling. I’ve like how you include pictures and the envelope at the back for ticket stubs the like. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos and content. Best to you from the SF Bay Area, California

[@julia-here]

Love the Bay Area!! And thank you so much for the kind words 🥰- hope you find all the joy in travel journaling!

[@KirstenTebbens]

Exciting! Back planning is soooo hard, I gave up on it myself 😅 hope this will work better this time around. Also you can hire me as your camera women 😁😁

[@julia-here]

Yesss!! Haha 💕📸 back planning is definitely for the birds - like, I finallyyyy finished the Portugal/Spain spreads RIGHT before filming this video a few days ago 😭 - I had to reference so many other things to even get it done.

[@marilynalberts4508]

I made a camping journal book for my sister and sent her this link to inspire her. Your journal is so creative and beautiful

[@julia-here]

Oh how fun! ☺️ thanks so much for the kind words 🥰

[@eprohoda]

bestie. Bravo~interesting -sleep well-

[@Mimi0505]

❤

[@carolynbell4720]

Such a nice journal. I am in the learning process. Could you please tell me where did you get your journal and the dimension? Thanks

[@julia-here]

This one is from Archer & Olive (an A5 size)- it was featured in a subscription box so it isn’t available for purchase anymore but they do have lots of A5 journals that would be great for a travel journal. Good luck in your journey!! ☺️

[@tomaszbogucki1582]

Greetings from Poland :)

[@julia-here]

Hellooo!! Love Poland

[@SWM83buzz]

Love your journal. Exactly which journal from Archer & Olive did you use? Thanks in advance!

[@julia-here]

Thank you! This is their kraft sketchbook journal that was in one of their subscription boxes last year. It’s not available anymore unfortunately 🥲

[@ThisWomansBrain]

When you outline what you print out, what pen do you use. Loving this travel journal. Thanks.

[@julia-here]

Most of the time, I’m using a Sakura Gelly Roll (size 10) and it works great! And thank you so much :))

[@ThisWomansBrain]

Thank you.

[@oasisplasma4285]

Love the brown pages do you do them all when you come back not while you are travelling ?

[@julia-here]

Thanks! Yeah, for this journal, I did all the spreads after coming back from traveling. My new traveler’s journal… I used that while traveling and liked that a lot better :)

[@audreyrosecreations2321]

What template or digital planner did you use for the 1st trip you show to France?

[@julia-here]

I used my bullet journal for that trip; it’s mixed in. I didn’t use a template or anything - just designed it myself :)

[@melissajohnson6561]

@@julia-here the one you printed , how did you make it ? On word ? I’ve been trying to figure out how I want to do my travel book and I saw that and it made it all come together now I just have to make / print it 😊

[@julia-here]

Ahh, gotcha. No, I used Adobe InDesign (I’m a graphic designer so I wouldn’t suggest going with that for ease). Using Canva would be a great alternative!
