(Midori) Traveler's Notebook Passport Size- Wallet Setup

[@Klajcia]

I love the fact that you carry around 5-6 pens and you still feel the need to have a backup pen! :)

[@Book_on_the_brightside]

I know this video is 7 years old, but was exactly what I was looking for! I’m just now getting into TNs and considering using a passport as my wallet. This was SO HELPFUL, love the way you took everything out and set it up again to show the process! Thank you!!

[@SeaweedKisses]

@@Book_on_the_brightside happy it was helpful!🤭🩷

[@TheresaRobertsonLROL]

Thanks for this video. Although I've watched many other travelers notebook set up vids, I always feel like the setups are beautiful, but I don’t have time to do all the artwork, stenciling, stickers, etc and track every minute of my life. Your video is just what I've been looking for. I carry the same notebook that you do. Perfect.

[@Sqwrl334]

I just purchased my first traveler's notebook passport (camel) after watching your videos. Thanks for this video because now I see some great ways to use my awesome notebook/wallet.

[@CreytorMagnin]

I just came back to say, I love this video!!! I've been tinkering with the idea of having my own traveler's journal for several months, and this video finally got me into it. Let me just say, OH MY LORD I LOVE IT!!! I have two diy journals now; a small one to act as a wallet, and a large one which has three thin sketchbooks/inserts attached to it. This one is my life, because I can carry all of my notes and sketches comfortably packed in one single book. Once again, thank you for showing us this video!!! 💜💜💜

i love this 😂 u kept adding more and i didnt know how much more the passport could take! what a great little book wow

[@pameehanson1764]

Setting up what works makes us happy😊 I saw a video series from Ray Blake on this size notebook, I learned a way to index the information and it's not a planner but he used it like you have your notebook it was set up shared for all kinds of information. Not bullet journal but a take off from that. I love it because all the bits of info I put into my book I can find, also if you ripped out a page it still would work because pages aren't numbered.

[@StudioBAS]

I use my passport size as an "everday carry" in my purse. I have a 3 inserts (calendar, lists, finance tracker) a craft file, and a zipper pocket. I actually put a couple cards and my ID in there the other day when I didn't want to carry my wallet and its pretty cool to use as a wallet! I may adapt my setup to make it my official wallet, not sure yet. I liked watching this video! I'm also going to get some beads to make a cute book mark charm similar to yours :) Thanks for the good ideas, Michelle!

[@yza_life]

StudioBAS wow i have exactly the sane inserts in my passport size. Its really just what we need for everyday carry👍🏻👍🏻

[@newbie230]

the moleskin attachment with the binder clip was genius! love the set up

[@SeaweedKisses]

Thank you! :) Those binder clips are certainly handy at times!

[@sairasairasaira757]

I just stole your idea and bought myself a clip and moleskine hahaha

[@dameankimberly6634]

Thank you for all the good ideas, I've been trying to condense my notebooks. I couldn't figure out the usefulness of the passport.. however using it as a wallet is genius!

[@MonkeyFarmFrankenstein]

I like having memo pads on hand for disposable notes. For my full-size TN, I cut a Mintra Junior Legal Pad about 11cm wide and used a binder clip to attach it to the back cover. For my pocket-sized fauxdori, I used double-sided tape to affix a Post-It Notepad and some flags to the back of the Doane Utility notebook.

[@mikewadley2700]

I love the look of that Zebra pen. I've not seen one like that. I love the way the Zebra pens write. I must confess that I'm a pen addict. Nice video.

[@SeaweedKisses]

Thank you, Mike. Zebra pens are one of my favorites, and I love how durable they are. We can both be pen addicts together. Thank you so much for always taking the time to watch and comment. :)

[@mikewadley2700]

Seaweed Kisses It's totally my pleasure to watch your videos! They are always informative and relaxing. Always good to have a pen addict buddy.

[@amum9958]

Great video. Btw, you could just use the elastic on the moleskin and wrap it around the back cover of the TN. Then you wouldn't need the binder clip. Of course the elastic would show, but I think it will look like a design element

[@mydivinesunshine]

Thank you for the video! I have one of these travelers notebooks and didn't know what to do I ordered everything you just talked about and I can't wait to set it up!

[@akira_ariga]

Found this video right when I was considering using a passport tn as like a glorified coin purse. This definitely helped me decide haha I love the constant “but wait there’s more”

[@EmilyTanica]

Totally was inspired by your video and I got a Moleskine for my TN Passport! I love it way more than the smaller journal inserts!

[@BREAKINGBADYO]

I ❤ tangibility. These passport journals are so satisfying to put together from what I see! I went high and low looking for this 5th edition w/the yellow band from another guys video I saw. 👀 I ❤it so much I splurged on eBay for it, I luckily found exact color combo I wanted for $75😈 You videos are so helpful, thanks!😅

[@shadesofgray5476]

I use the moleskine notebooks that come in a pack of three and have card board covers.. They are 5.5" long so I take a ruler and a Kraft knife to trim .5" off the bottom, and re-glue the bottom of the back pocket, then they are perfect for the passport size traveler's notebook and they come in dot, graph, lined or plain. There is a canvas insert you can get from amazon with a zippered pocket and a pocket with flap -- I got that and keep my money in the zippered part so I can use it as a wallet.

[@suzisandpiper]

Interesting way of including a bigger notebook..neat! My passport size is also a chunky monkey.... but I confess I'm torn about using paper other than the Midori which i love so much...my new favourite is the extra fine with more pages in so a half way house. I don't quite have the guts to only use this as my wallet and i use it for calendar and notes but have a similar set up for wallet area which i use as my fun things wallet....like trips out and going for coffee etc. so i don't need to get my purse out then. Love trying different ways to use it though...thanks for the ideas! 😊

[@Lyn4817]

You could always make your own notebooks. There are instructions on You Tube, right down to stitching the cover and sheets together or get an adjustment stapler. Again you can buy about three size staplers on eBay. Thatway way you can useyour craft paper to cover each note book you make differently. I even found a place which sells printable page setups, quiet cheaply. You gettge after paying by download8ng the PDF files.

[@Sobanggongbugirl]

What a chunky sandwich you have! I was surprised by that blue Korean 1 dollar haha thank you so much for your insight, ideas

[@JournalGingerbreadcookies]

I can’t wait to get mine I’m so excited

[@jennifershepit594]

love the ideas in here! I have the larger size and think I'll combine my wallet items into it and give that a try. and I'm going to need this passport size for my upcoming travels! 😍

[@DanielleNorrisGrace]

Notebook strap- you can use it as a bookmark or put the strap around the back cover.

[@shawnandlisamason9533]

With the leather are your regular bank cards and credit cards safe that's my worry I do love your wallet system

[@marykirkland6383]

❤ Most brilliant way to store bills ❤

[@breec3346]

I’m like binge watching all of your videos!! Loving them! I definitely subscribed!

[@sgarcia7351]

Loved this video! So creative and such great ideas I’ll to have order myself this set up you’ve inspired me 🥰 thank you! ❤

[@bostongirl3137]

Love this idea! Copying it! Your voice is so soothing.

[@JobsJournal]

Love this! I think I'm currently going through the same phase your husband was going through! I've been skimming through the EDC tag on IG so much and it's so interesting. Great video as always Michelle!

[@ramblinmomplans]

Love the look of your stuffed passport! Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@cartertappan4685]

I’m glad this works for you but it seriously stresses me out 😂

[@Klajcia]

I was like: *see the notification that seaweed kisses posted new video* *OMG YASS FINALLY* *OMG IT'S ABOUT MIDORI* *OMG IT LASTS MORE THAN 20 MINUTES!* *give thumbs up and comment before even watch it*

[@SeaweedKisses]

Thank you so much for watching! Sometimes I feel bad when the videos are a little longer, but then again, there's just so much to share and cover! ;)

[@Klajcia]

Seaweed Kisses Don't feel bad! I really love your looooong videos and I'm sure I'm not the one :)

[@bellsofhell]

You're funny in a nice way @Klaudia

[@justm720]

Have you tried to use a pocket size tn in replacement for passport? It might make it more consistent with the field notes size. I'd really like to see a similar set up in that size:) I hope to make one soon :)

[@deborahmeyers7839]

I love your set up little clips and things how you make things work out cool ♥️ thanks for sharing I love chunky that's the whole idea to make use of space 🌺

[@SunshineFL]

I’m using mine as a wallet. To do lists. Shopping lists.

[@theaimstersar]

Great videos, I have wanted the passport size for some time and finally bit the bullet and ordered one thanks to you! Hugs from San Diego 🌴🌺♥️

[@staciabrown6383]

I'm currently using my pocket size Filofax as my wallet but I'm not liking the pockets to much. Love your videos-so informative 😀

[@SeaweedKisses]

Thank you so much for watching! Hope you find your ideal pocket size setup!

[@sappersteve1443]

stacia brown you can buy the same plastic inserts for your Filofax.

[@staciabrown6383]

sapper steve thank you 😊

[@Lyn4817]

You could also make upset holders from firm card or plastic divider sheets and double tabke then to the cover of your insert note books. At least that is what I am planning to do. We can do so much with these.

[@Mandaroxpets]

I love how you store your notes! So clever!

[@GenTikki]

Mine doesn’t have elastics. I need them. I suppose if I poke holes in the leather with an awl I can put them in. Just don’t want to ruin my beautiful leather.

[@18elleinad]

Thank you! I love this idea. Darn it I think I need this set up...it's all your fault ; )

[@spinningbacksidekick]

You'd call this one, The Costanza.

[@moonlightcabin9395]

I found this to be SO helpful - Thank you so very much! Have subscribed to your channel. I've been tossing up grabbing one of these and this video helped me see how useful and adaptable this option is!

[@someone-gu7fd]

My name is midori...

[@Doogie821]

Do ya want a medal

[@Mynovelplans]

I just recently got a zlyc one while I was at home to try the passport size but haven't used it yet. This gives me so many ideas on how to use mine! Hoping I figure out how to carry it every day so I can eventually get the camel one!

[@stephmahan6]

I love this soo much!!

[@AaBb-sn3ji]

Where do you find pen pals?

[@xbritneex]

is the 5th edition a different texture than the released camel? I hate the suede feel of my camel but your 5th looks so smooth like the black and brown

[@황민영-c3n]

8:00에 천원짜리ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[@temporarythoughts]

this is so sweet

[@attranssion]

that Zebra pen is good looking, use it! (haha)

[@aprilezell3784]

Jets pen still carries the camel brown. $41

[@Zazzso]

Where can i finde the 3 monkey paper you have in the pocket? 😇🙈🙉🙊

[@jenocean824]

There are some binders clips out there in beautiful colors and designs that you could use instead of the black one if you chose.

[@eherrera0130]

Instead of using a binder clip why, don't you put the elastic from your moleskin over your passport cover. I hope I made sense.

[@e.m.argiro319]

I have a question. Since this is a wallet and used as one, how do we find a place for the drivers license? I have simplified everything and put all items in one place so I am asking about the license, where do I put it?

[@SeaweedKisses]

Hello! The driver's license can go into the clear zipper pocket. 😊 It has card slots that will securely hold it.

[@sunnyscott4876]

I understand that you can do whatever you want with this thing but you're confusing me.....Is it a journal or a wallet????

[@SeaweedKisses]

both ;)

[@maratorres9934]

your absolutely awesome thanks for sharing

[@maximasforrester8689]

And that fits in your pocket as a wallet?

[@holliholland2348]

i want a leather book like this. literally binge watching your videos. just wishing i had money to buy one

[@lulusplannerlifegmz1202]

does michaels have this passport size wallet? shipping is expensive! and takes too long! love it awesome thanks for sharing

[@KeenaArtist]

Very cute!!!!

[@nicolettacomi3540]

Dove lo posso comprare con gli inserti come questo?

[@carolinejackson7933]

This was Great. TFS. 🌸

[@antoniosalcido1129]

Love it thanks 🙏

[@maricontapangco6172]

I love it...

[@lorettasolley2888]

Measurements please.

[@livi116]

Moleskine and TN mhhhhh too heavy and not very manageable to carry on

[@신지-l6g]

한국돈보니 반갑네요~^^

[@DettolObsessed]

Thanks for sharing. It's a nice idea but I would definitely recommend not keeping the money in the TN. Money is the dirtiest thing imaginable handed from one person to another. Watched a documentary once with the amount of germs they carry and it was absolutely stomach churning. I also do not like to keep the receipts because they also carry a huge amount of BPA in them. So I ideally I keep them in a ziplock in my bag; otherwise in a designated wallet that doesn't touch my other stuff. I know some people just don't care but I do and feel many others as well so just thought of sharing the tip.

[@DettolObsessed]

Mara Torres I'm not unfortunately 😞 Statistically money, remote controls and trolley handles are the dirtiest things. Not to mention money and receipts carry BPA which is very serious to the point where some US states ban a certain type of receipt paper. Read it up before you judge.

[@kiandra323]

this is way to chunky for me but thanks for showing us.

[@sumitrajan8489]

This is too bulky ma'am! It shouldn't go past 3 sleeves I feel .
