Travel Journal Setup | 12-Day Japan Trip

[@OscarDelgadilloAntar]

I'm one of those people who is obsessed with stationery but can't seem to do anything with it! I take my Traveler's everywhere and still.... Nothing... It was great seeing how you use it. Truly inspired me, thanks!

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you so much for the kind comment! I think a lot of us in the community find comfort in documenting our thoughts, experiences and ideas - and in the feeling of having a notebook and a writing tool in our hands. I hope you find a TN setup that works for you!

This was very helpful to watch! I'm also prepping my TN for Japan :)

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you for watching! I hope you have a wonderful trip to Japan!

[@pinkseifuku]

@@thosewithwords You're welcome and thank you so much! You as well :)

[@tortagialla]

Very cool, really love that photo reference template... great idea!

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you! It came in really handy when I got back to print photos (knowing which ones to print, etc.)

[@meowing_prospector]

Those travel scissors are so neat. Im so excited for your trip. Thanks for the wonderful video.

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you for watching! I definitely hope to share more when I'm back!

What a practical and well organized setup ❤ Hope you have a safe and wonderful trip! ✈ If you haven't already, I would suggest testing/practice using the wallet system before you go (see if you can take cash & change in and out of the pouch quickly while standing and holding things (like food) and without using a counter or table top). I personally struggled with the regular size TN as a wallet because it's too big for my hands, so I ended up just throwing things in my bag and organizing it later 😅

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you so much! I have been trying out the wallet setup for the past week and it seems to work well for me, so we'll see how it goes. I'm thinking of making a "setup review" video when I get back to talk about what worked/didn't work!

[@notablyemily]

This seems like such a well thought out setup! I like how you're trying to combine a wallet and travel journal, I'm really interested to hear how it works for you! I also really love my sticker book, it's so convenient to have tons of stickers/washi/PET tape available whenever you need in a convenient place!

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you for watching! The setup ended up being a little too heavy for everyday carry while I was there, so more often than not I left the journal and sticker book at the hotel(s) before going out. I'll make a follow-up video in the next few weeks!

[@notablyemily]

@@thosewithwords Makes sense! Can’t wait to watch your follow up video! 🤩

[@leocarney2605]

That double sided tape tip is everything!

[@thosewithwords]

Thanks Leo! It was so helpful last time, so hopefully it'll work out this time too!

[@memiens_stationery]

Have a lovely trip!! I love your customised TN, looking forward to seeing how it comes back. I also use those mini scissors and disliked them, trying another pair right now but not fully convinced, I guess mini scissors cannot replace a proper pair!

[@thosewithwords]

Thanks so much VA!! I'll definitely share how the stamping experience goes. It's too bad the travel-sized scissors don't work as well, but as you said, I suppose it makes sense to make some sacrifices since they're so portable. I'll probably rip most ephemera anyway for the torn edge look 😂

[@tweetpea]

Double sided tape strips in the sticker book is a great idea! Thank you.

[@thosewithwords]

It's really handy to have so I don't have to carry the double sided tape roll. Glad you found it helpful, and thank you for watching!

[@michellealdrich]

Have a blast! I look forward to going back 💫 TFS 🌸

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you so much!!

[@starletise]

A great video with really helpful tips for travelling. I am wondering if you are able to share where the fast food and gaming stickers are from?? Or maybe it’s pet tape, but either way is so super cute!

[@thosewithwords]

Hi there, thanks for watching! I believe the ones you're referring to are washi tapes from a brand called Meatball. I received a sample of them from friends, but they should be available in various designs from Papergame (papergame.co)!

[@starletise]

@@thosewithwords Thank you so much for your reply and the information! I am, however, feeling quite worried for my wallet because all of a sudden I need all of their tapes 🫣🤣

[@maryannschuetz5155]

Oooohhh the tape tip...BRILLIANT 🙌🏻

[@thosewithwords]

Thank you! It was really handy to have pieces of double-sided tape on a previous trip, so I'm going to try it again this time since I'm sure I'll pick up all kinds of ephemera!

[@Etherealintrovert]

looks like I'm going to be upgrading my travel setup after watching this... yours is so good! Mine is so bulky and impractical 🤣 Amazing video! I'm loving this thosewithyoutube era 🥰

[@thosewithwords]

Jess!! Thank you so much for watching. I tried to be lightweight with my setup, but then again I'm bringing a separate TN cover for stamping 😂 I really appreciate your kind comment!

[@isabelpires3423]

What paper do you use for your sticker paper for your stamp imprints?

[@thosewithwords]

I've been using weatherproof matte sticker paper from onlinelabels.com!

"not enough adhesive" - JasmineMarieAdhesives :kappa lololol "yay, you're bringing a clip!" - ohaijoy. I took a lot of notes for my future Japan trip heh.

[@thosewithwords]

LOLOL thanks for watching Joy!! I figure I can get more adhesives there if I need it 😂

[@KA-zw7fi]

What type of printer do you use to print out your photos on sticker paper?

[@thosewithwords]

I use the Canon PIXMA G6020!
