- I've used my Traveler's Notebook every single day for years, and am confident that it is, without exaggeration, the best notebook system in the world, and in this video, I share pretty much everything you need to know about the Traveler's Company Notebook.

Despite all the available technology, an analog notebook and pens are my main tools for maximum productivity; the tools I use every day, and form some of the most important parts of my Everyday Carry. My EDC notebook is the Traveler's Company Notebook originally founded in Japan.
They've created an entire robust ecosystem of customization inserts and accessories to form an incredible notebook system, no matter what you may use your notebook for. With literally hundreds of different notebook refills, paper types, calendar layouts, stationery add-ons, and just plain minimalistic yet tremendously high-quality notebook and scrapbook items, Travelers Company notebooks are to me, the end-all-be-all of notebooks.
I made another video sharing exactly how I use my Travelers Notebook for maximum productivity and clarity in decision-making, and I welcome you to check it out here: • How to regain control ...
I'm pretty basic, in that I just need one plain notebook refll for all of my needs, but you can easily daisy-chain and connect up to 4 or even 5 (although that's pushing it) notebook refills if you need a separate Traveler's notebook refill for your scheduling, sketching, notetaking, journaling, and scrapbooking. In this video, I also share how to use 2 notebook inserts, and how to use 3 notebook inserts.
It's interesting that something so simple, the Traveler's Company Notebook, has been the one item I've used the most for over half a decade (even more than my phone), and if you're the type of person who draws, writes handwritten notes, or anything else that's analog like that, I believe the Travelers Notebook is unequivocally the best option available.

this is the first video where the different sections of meaning aren't divided by a cut, but actually the UA-camr taking a short break and breathing in. Takes some getting used to, but I love it!
A couple things happened during the viewing of this video. One, I ordered a Travelers Notebook "starting kit" of sorts, and I'm very excited. And two, you forced me to go dig out my old LAMY Al-Star fountain pen which I'd ditched in a drawer because the nib was leaking. I re-seated the nib and installed a new ink cartridge. My love for this pen is renewed. Thank you!
Sorry to bother, but how does one “re-seat” a nib?
I think this may be what’s going on with my kaweco
I've had one of each size about 8 years now. I don't use the passport anymore, but full-size I use the plastic pouch, lined, blank, and calendar notebooks, and a craft pouch. It's very tight but it works. Definitely love the system
As a geologist, keeping field notes is professional habit. However, I found using a “travelers notebook” to be very useful in daily life. Thanks to your tip on adding multiple notebooks, I maintain two under the same cover. One is just for the journaling I to document the significant events of my life. The other is for taking notes while reading books on geology, archaeology (not my field but I love it) or other nonfiction books of substance.
As for “significant events”, these are not usually monumental things such as weddings etc, but experiences I want to hang on to. For me they include climbing trips (the real thing not fake walls), kayaking trips, family events, motorcycle trips and any other moments that I want to relive in the future. I write these experiences down so that some day if age, illness or injury robs me of my freedom, I can open my journal and escape back to my glory days as a free-lance geologist, climber, kayaker or father and husband. I will add this too. Do not write down anything you do want others to read. Your journal will be part of your legacy. Write only what you want to be known. Be kind in your words about others. If you write vitriol to purge it from your heart and mind, that’s great. But do it in a separate notebook and burn it later.
Thank you for posting this high quality, thoughtful video. Your presentation is flawless. It’s so logically sequenced, detailed but not cluttered and well articulated. It no doubt took a great deal of planning and practice as well as skill to produce. Well done!
I had my original notebook stolen one day a few years ago. The replacement is arriving tomorrow and I'm so excited!! I suffer from Multiple Notebooks Crowding my Bag Disease right now, it'll be a game-changer to have this new traveler's book.
HOWEVER. I've found I need to make custom refills. Their sketch paper/watercolour paper inserts just didn't cut the mustard for me, so instead, I make my own out of 70lb toned tan paper or rough recycled brown sketch paper with cardstock covers. Thankfully, the measurements are easy to figure out if you have a ruler and some spare time!
see that's the beauty of this physical ecosystem
this aint some apple bullshit where u got a pacific connector for their atlantic phone like what the fuck
all this system is is elastic, leather, and sized paper that's been bound
u can always make ur own and like hell is traveler's company gonna try and stop you
Finally found the notebooks I can use every day! Recently discovered your channel and really like your presentations. Clear demonstrations and photography. Thanks.
Im so happy to have found not only this video but your channel! Im eagerly awaiting my first Traveler’s notebook set up. My husband and I will be returning to the south of France for the first time since lockdown. In the past Ive journaled all our travels but the notebooks have been a mess. Im trying to be more streamlined.
Thank you so much for being clear and concise!!
Dude I’ve watched dozens of videos on this system but holy hell you just explained it SO succinctly and really illuminated every aspect for me. Thank you!
JESUS CHRIST died for us on a cross for our sins. 3 days after his death he resurrected and was, is, and will be The LIVING GOD. Repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior in a prayer and also ask for the HOLY SPIRIT to come into you in that same prayer as well and have FAITH in JESUS CHRIST. You could come to Jesus Christ as you are, but once you accept Him, you have to become new, change, and be born again, and also turn away from your wicked ways. Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. God Bless You. The Bible is the true word of God. Please read the Bible and you will see Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Praise only be to GOD. JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON FOR HIS CHURCH.
thanks for introducing me to these note books, treated myself to the camel leather cover and a few pads, ive been a fountain pen user for years and love the paper quality at a bargain price.
I have a hand made custom TN cover, in B6 size. It has 6 elastics and I love it!
I also have a nano size TN as my wallet, also custom.
I love supporting small businesses, so going that route and enjoying the extra customization was best for me.
Many thanks for curating such visually captivating video content. I especially appreciate how concise, yet informative, delivering a wealth of knowledge. And now I'm eager to dive into your other videos. Thank you!
Absolutely the best video notebooks. Exactly what we need! We travel to the United States and I need a calendar and a journal section.
Thank you.
Finally made a decision
Thank you for your video. I'm a user of notebooks of all kinds, but I didn't quite understand the concept of a traveler's notebook, your tips are incredibly practical. Thanks for your talented work, I follow you from Madrid, Spain.
Well, suede is also leather, of course, and I find it to be very durable. I like the suppleness of it over the stiffness of regular leather. I like Traveler's, and used it for about three years, but I switched over to a six ring binder with a leather cover because I find it much more versatile. I but tabbed page dividers, and I can switch pages around so every subject or type of writing stays together, and it always lays one hundred percent flat, which is important to me.
I keep watching Traveler's videos looking for anything I might have missed when using that system, but so far, at least, the binder system is simply working much better.
This is so much fun! Can't believe it took me so long to find your cheerful and informative channel.
Had to finally leave a comment after binging several videos. Great video and great channel. These notebooks look fantastic, a big step up from the field notes I'm currently using. I really like what you've covered so far, and can't wait to see what you will cover next!
Thank you for sharing all the this great information. 💜💜💜
I love my Travelers notebook! I keep a daily activity log for work and these are perfect. Their papers hold up to all sorts of inks and nibs.
Been using mine for 7 years ... love it! Great video clearly explaining everything Traveler's ... thumbs up!
Pretty cool. I’ve been journaling since 2016. I came across Field Notes and have been using them since 2016. I made my own cover that looks very similar to your Travelers cover but about half the size. Great video 👍🏼
So glad I stumbled upon this after being a follower of your EDC reviews. Thanks again!
❤ Thank you for your calm, well structured and helpful content.
thank you for bring this company to my attention! I have been looking for a new notebook system like this.
Great production quality! I think this channel will grow quickly.
Another sublime pack filled informative vlog.
maurice!!! the entire time i was watching I was thinking - geez who needs a charm. And then you talked about them and put them on and now I am searching the charms to buy!!!!!!! :) great content from travel to this and everything inbetween love it!
Wow, what a great presentation! Not one "you guys" or the "you tube " hands! I will now binge on the rest of your videos, please keep them coming!
Totally agree!!!
My sentiments exactly!!!!!!!!
UA-cam hands?
Within minutes of clicking on this video (1st time here), I can see you are knowledgeable and sincere. Subscribed! Thanks for the great info!! Take care 🙂
Really informative, detailed and succinct. Thank you, subscribed.
I always enjoy perusing The Traveler's Company stuff at their NRT shop. I'll have to check out their notebooks closer on my next trip!
You might also like Franklin Christoph's travel covers. I sometimes put Traveler's refills in them. B-Sides and Rarities is bae.
Love your videos dude! Just ordered my notebook
Most helpful information about this topic. Thanks 🌻!
great video I like your style and how fast and in depth you go
Cool setup I want to get a notebook for work mainly... but will at the same time get my thoughts throughout the days and when I travel.. love that pen clip!
Love this so informative and i think your style is interesting and kept me glued. Thank you..
Your vid inspired me to order this, the leather looks beautiful, very much looking forward to breaking it in. Also got the Lamy safari based on your recs, and the IKEA shelf/drawer for my EDC :) thanks for the great content!
Thank you so much!!! I’m new and now a Subscriber 😊 your video was so informative and concise 👏🏽 I’m getting my TN this week …. I can’t wait! I realized after watching your video I should have order an anchoring strap 😩.
New subscriber here! I thoroughly enjoyed your video and am eager to consume more. And, as someone who has been using cheap, soulless office notebooks for years, it’s time for a major upgrade. Thank you for the introduction to Travelers! Also, I love the audible breaths between thoughts and phrases. It reminds me of Jeff Buckley’s take of “Hallelujah” off of his album, Grace. Sublime!
Very helpful! Thank you. 👏🏻
Great video. I just ordered my Traveler's Company notebook.
Maurice love your videos. Very informative.
Great presentation my friend, best for travel journals
Excellent and informative video!
Great video - I have been using the passport style inserts from travelers for a while (no cover) and this has been helpful to decide to get a cover. The larger size seems so big - what is your preference when working with the two sizes - space to write vs size to carry. When I travel - I journal, have pre-written notes for myself and do urban sketching... I don't care for their watercolor art paper - but I think I could customize my own and fit it into the system. Thanks for the video - great info!
I ended up getting the pen loop for another notebook after reading this review. Thanks for posting.
Such an amazing video, thank you
Oooh! Real leather! I always have a smallish sketchbook. This is very nice!
Awesome video, I am in the process of getting a new planner/journaling system. I need to watch more videos, but Traveler's looks really nice.
Thanks man. I dig this note book.
I am very much on-board with this notebook and it's mission statement, but I don't use them myself. For one, these things are damn near impossible to put in a coat pocket and almost always require a bag. Second, I wish they'd put a pen slot in the spine area so you can put a pen inside the actual journal rather than attach it to the outside, where it's likely to get jostled off. I was also personally put off by the need for proprietary refills, but this is more of a "me" problem and my fear of running out of pages at the worst time.
Another downside I see is the choice of using elastics. Elastics tend to loosen over time so you're forced to buy others from them (which they sell). All in all it seems to me a system thought to keep you locked in. I like how it looks, but I don't like the philosophy.
New subbie and doing a little binge watching, loving your content! And oh yeah that little pencil case is adorbs and a must have! Will make sure use your link😜
I just ordered a kit from Amazon in Coffee!! Im still looking for the double pen holder but love this.
Great video for the neat 📒 notebook. Thanks!
Bravo! Succinctly written script. Natural sounding voiceover.
Interesting, after doing a sample notebook bundle, it was my second to last preferred paper to write on.
O my god i literally Didn't how to insert 3 notebooks with those bands thank you so much it really helped!!!
Watched this video and set out to get myself a set. 6mo into using both regular and passport TCN and I love it so much. Regular for planning and passport as a wallet with notebook to jot down ideas and brainstorm. Thank you so much for this!
Well made video and to the point
A thank-you and a note on this video (👍). Thanks for the illustration of retaining three TC inserts. I have been doing it differently but I like yours better. Among other things, I think it may close better. On the TC brass ruler, you didn't mention the feature that I have come to like best: the slightly raised edge on one side. Why do I love that? No more ink-y ruler edges! I use a ruler a lot and it sounds a little laughable but this is a game changer, Even super-fast drying inks (which I don't always use) can leave ink on the edge of the ruler and sooner or later that's going to get things dirty. Caution on this excellent ruler: the brass is quite soft and it can bend if dropped. It's pretty easy to straighten out, but I've never had a stainless steel, plastic or aluminum ruler do that. Nevertheless, it's still my absolute favorite ruler.
This video was awesome!
Maurice, great review, thank you. I was not aware of the TN until your video, having done some research, I have found that September Leather make a very similar product but at a fraction of the price. I bought the standard size TN, without the hard spine. It has 4 elastics built in which in my opinion is much better than the Traveller’s Company which only has one. I think you are paying a lot for the brand name with Traveller’s Company.
Really very nice >>> Thank you .
Dude I just realized how much your voice reminds me of “Bear in the Big Blue House”
Beautiful video man. Really appreciate the clarity of thought and explanation
Good video on these 👊🏻🙂 I’ve been a collector since around 2012 I think it was. All the special editions are too tempting. I’m enjoying a regular and a Passport Starbucks Reserve TN at the moment. Although I got myself into tomoe river paper inserts too so that’s another story! 😂
Interesting. Thanks!
Very interesting. I have kept both work and travel references. I have used A5. College note books, plus a number of pens. I'll take a look travellers kit. Cheers
Awesome video!!
I was going to buy field notes. This seems so much better for what I want.
Great video, thanks for speeding up when unpacking, I hate how others take so looong😅
Wow, what a great ValuAbLe presentation. 😉
And bcz of that, I indeed subscribed!
I appreciate your thorough explanation 😊
I was thinking of going for Hobonichi's techno til this minimalist journal in leather caught my attention, not just in material but in usage. 😅 thanks for ur video, i now understand how to use and invest in one 😄
Love the ruler at the beginning. Where can I find it? Btw great videos, I love how you take your time to explain all things and the pauses make the video more easygoing
Lol I got the ruler first. It’s solid. It made me appreciate the quality that led me to get the actually journal. You can order it online or if you are in major city see if a store is nearby.
I would appreciate any information about fountain pens you would like to share. Great video! I really enjoyed the video on productivity as well. Thank you!
That darn ruler, and several other amazing accessories i always want, are always out of stock when i think to go look. BTW. subscribed bc it sounds like you live and die with your notebook(s) and FPs in your hands.
very nice and informative video
For brand flexible I’ll use a leather passport cover and a pocket notebook. Generally Field Notes sized or slightly shorter.
Very interesting ideas
I found my way to the Hobonichi Techo some time ago and it works best for me.
Great video! One quick question. You seem to travel quite a bit and it seems that you always bring your notebook and pens with you. How do you transport the pens on various flight (and in general) to avoid leaking? 🤔
I just found out I have a new obsession! 😄

Nice Casio G-Shock square 😉
Thanks for this video as well as others…! Really helpful 🙏🏻 Beyond the links in the description (thx) if I digit traveler’s notebook company all the results seem, or pretend to, to be the original. Do you have the link for the “original” one to check all of their products? Thanks a lot and keep doing video like this…
Great overview of the travel books ... could you put a link to the pewter charms you show? They add a lot of character.
Interested in your comments on Lamy. Just got my terra cotta safari and love it.
Hi, thanks for another great video. The notebook looks great, but right away I was wondering how flat the back sits against the table given the elastic closure is centered on the back. Thanks.
Well done
Do you have the link for the superior labor pen clip? Tks
Pls share the link of the penholder for the Lamy pens and also would like to hear more about how you use your Lamy pens in your everyday life. Thanks.
Just found you and love this set-up. Just reached out to the pen holder maker, they are currently sold out
Could you share the name of the manufacturer?
@@crimsondarne The Superior Labor
I have like a Lechttrum xl pen loop just stuck on the inside of mine lol
Great video. New subbie
I agree 😁
One day im going to buy those to note but now common note book is all i can effort 😝
i just instantly subscribed
Great video! I loved how you presented the items and your explanation was perfect.
Thank you from your new subscriber!
Hey Maurice! I love your content! Just bought a passport sized; I was wondering if you have a recommendation for the zipper pocket for the passport sized notebook. I see you managed to source one but I dont think its a Traveler's company branded one?
Great video! Can you tell me the price of the pen clip? I am seeing two different ones and wonder what the difference is. Thanks!!
Since you mentioned the Lamy Safari... they have different nib sizes available right? Which one would you recommend?
Hi Maurice, great videos and lots of good information, but I think the links here for the products changed, maybe a revisit to upgrade the links ? Greetings from Calgary 🙂
I loved your video, although a female I found it’s just what I’m interested in. Thanks so much
