Travel Journal: Yangon 2019

My second trip of 2019 was to Yangon, Myanmar, a city and a country I never expected to visit, but am so glad I did. As someone who is a sucker for taking pictures of textures, doors and padlocks, Yangon was a smorgasbord of all three that I felt like a glutton greedily devouring my favourite dishes with every turn of the corner. With its clash or architectures painted in unashamedly loud, vivid hues, Yangon, to me, felt like a secret insta-worthy location the influencers have yet to discover, and I didn’t mind that at all.
I am pretty sure I did a pretty bad job at shortlisting the pictures for my travel journal, but somehow I managed to shove them all into two Traveler’s Notebook inserts. I’m continuing with the cover theme from my previous travel journal (NKxChiangMai which I shared a whopping five months ago! • Travel Journal: Chiang... ) and keeping the layout neat and tidy. So far I’m not tired of it yet and can’t wait to try it out for my next batch of travel journals.
I hope you enjoy the flipthrough of my trip to Yangon, and will make your way there one day too if you haven’t already. Don’t forget to give me a follow and thumbs up if you enjoyed this (and even if you didn’t 😆). Thank you for watching!

Would love to see you filming while building your pages! Love the way you have everything organized and your style!

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you! I do hope to be able to document how I do my travel journal layouts but I tend to do them mise en place so that could get a bit boring 😅 Perhaps one day when I have an entire day and good daylight just to travel journal prep I’ll be able to record it!

[@abigailmcleod3206]

One of the best travel journals I’ve ever seen!

[@nadiahkimie]

Awww thank you so much! I’m glad you like them ☺️

Thank you for the lovely comments and apologies for my delayed response. I am so glad you enjoyed looking through my travel journal 😊 and KZbin has been a great way of sharing it with others! I hope I get to continue working on more travel journals soon!

[@plandsandtravels]

I love the idea to keep the keycard holders. Thanks. Lovely video with a ton of ideas

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad you got some ideas from my flipthrough and will get to use them in your journals!

[@bhanani5480]

Love this TN flip through. Your journaling style is cool, tidy and organised and I like the way you placed your tippens. New fan and subscriber, can't wait to watch your previous videos, thanks for sharing😍👍👍👍

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you like my journaling style and flip through ☺️ I’d definitely like to think of myself as cool, tidy and organised 🤭 It did take me awhile to find that in my journaling style too - my initial foray into scrapbook journaling was quite all over the place!

[@darktevi2803]

Your videos are so inspiring to document trips! Thank you very much for sharing 😍

[@nadiahkimie]

You’re most welcome!

So beautyfull!!! Also inspirational. Thanks for the lovely video. 🌺🌸

You're most welcome! Thank you for watching my video!

[@karinreid1191]

I loved seeing your Yangon photos, have been to Myanmar twice and have similar photos, what a stunning place with beautiful, kind and gentle people, thanks for making me smile 🥰🥰🥰

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you for watching 😊 It’s so lovely there and very underrated!

[@coffeeteapaper]

Hi Nadiah, as a long time fan of TNC setups (and travel) I am so happy to find your beautiful and inspiring channel and IG. 😀You use your layouts and blank spaces so effectively in this travel journal but I also enjoy seeing the contrast of your well filled out pages as well. You have a new inspired subscriber here!☺ Thank you so much for sharing. x Louise

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much for subscribing! It's great to know that there are a few of you out there who enjoy my style of travel journaling 😊 I have to admit that my first proper Travel Journal in the TN had me needing to fill every single inch of space and it took effort and reminding from my own self that it's ok to leave a bit of space sometimes 😅 I should record a KZbin version of those journals one day as they were a massive 6 volumes!

[@Ling-28]

Love this 😀

[@panduhkakie7186]

Thank you for sharing. I've been journaling my travels and this gave me an idea, a simple way of journaling using mostly pictures. Love it!

[@nadiahkimie]

Most welcome! I take so many pictures on my trips I figure this is the best way to let them see the light of day 😀

[@musika828]

Beautiful pages! Just subscribed😊

So beautiful! Thanks for the ideas on using vellum, and your photos are so good. Subscribing now.

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you got some ideas from my flipthrough 🙂 Welcome to my channel and I promise not to post too many videos 😅

[@ilseortega1102]

Loved this video and your journal and the little tricks to include more pics. I had marked it in my "Watch Later" list, but didn't get to it because there was no voice. No voice is not a problem anymore!!!!! I'm subscribing right away! #Beautiful

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much! I’m happy you watched my video and enjoyed it despite there being no voice - I don’t have a voice for recording, trust me 😂. Plus… mic fright!

[@nauditaolivia]

Amazing layouts. Can I ask how you stick your photos? Do you use glues or double tape? And how many pictures do you usally print for one trip? Thanks in advance

[@nadiahkimie]

Of course! I use acid-free invisible mount tapes (whenever I can find them), but when I run out I’ll probably use double sided tape so that the photo prints will remain dry. As for the number of pictures… gosh! I never know! I just print all the pictures I like and hope my travel journals won’t get too fat 😅 But I do look through each picture to decide which ones I want in what size print but I don’t decide the quantity beforehand.

[@springdawnstudio]

So beautiful and inspirational😍😍😍😍 What pen did you use for your beautiful calligraphy on front page? It's so perfect.

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much! I believe I used the Pilot Custom Heritage 912 FA for the front page, and on the cover I used a dip pen with a flex nib, although I am not sure of the make!

[@kerithpaterson1668]

Wow!! What a stunning journal!! Thank you for sharing! I love your attention to detail... like the vellum tip-in making the photos line up perfectly at 2:07. Do you use some kind of stamp mat to keep your stamping so clean despite the bulky pages?

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much for watching! I’m a sucker for making things line up perfectly 😂. I don’t use a stamp mat, but I do use a thin acrylic sheet underneath when things get bulky (because that is what I have lying around). I find that acrylic sheets are sturdier, but anything that is thin and won’t bend to the page underneath should work well too.

[@princeszara384]

Hay can you tell me please which size are your Fotos ? And are you make your Fotos with a Phone Pocket printer ? When yes can you tell me the Foto Printer Name ??? Thank you 🥰

[@annjebaratnam6894]

Hi, this is beautiful. I lived in Yangon for awhile and this is so nostalgic for me. May I please ask what printer you use for the photo printing?

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much for watching my video. I hope it brought back some great memories for you! Yangon was truly inspiring for me. I actually print my photos via photobook.com as I don’t like glossy photos and most of those portable photo printers only print on glossy. The higher end photo printers are a bit out of my budget range for now 😄

[@annjebaratnam6894]

@@nadiahkimie Thanks for replying! You’ve inspired me in turn to document my travels better. 😊

[@nadiahkimie]

Gosh! No problem! Don’t stress out too much about documenting your travels that you forget to have fun too. This is why my travel journals are always a few years late 🙊

[@smittenwithgot7]

“A few years late.” Hahahaha. 😅 this is so meeeeee.

[@nadiahkimie]

Life happens 😂

[@cazdela9857]

Love your TN Journal!!! Soooo Beautiful 😍😍😍

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you so much!

[@smittenwithgot7]

So pretty and a lot of tips. What do you call that white translucent paper? Is it parchment? Or vellum? Edit: i saw in the comments that its vellum paper. 😊 Im glad i saw your channel. So simple yet so inspiring. ❤️

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you for checking the comments! It’s also called tracing paper in regular stationery shops. And thank you for enjoying my videos!

[@jenniferapostol767]

Simply amazing! May I ask how you print your photos?

[@nadiahkimie]

I send my pictures to get printed on photobook.com as they’re one of the few places that print on matte photo paper. I am not a big fan of glossy photos, mainly because glossy photos used to stick together way back then especially in the heat and humidity here in Malaysia. I don’t know if they still do now but I just love matte prints.

[@jenniferapostol767]

@@nadiahkimie woooow! That is cool! I didnt know they do small-sized prints!

[@nadiahkimie]

Oh, they do 4R prints which I shove a few photos onto and then cut down to size accordingly 😅

Love your journals 😍. Just a question where do you get your tags ?

[@nadiahkimie]

Thank you! Do you mean the airline/luggage tags? Some I get from redbubble.com, but shipping to Malaysia has really gone up, so I have resorted to getting them from freepik.com. The latter ones are free, but you do need to edit them to what you want, and attribute, so I write a little attribution on the inside of my journal cover 😊
