Hi! I’m so excited for this! Even if you think your research ‘isn’t good’ or your art is ‘bad’ you should still show us-please! It’s totally interesting! Totally unsolicited advice you can disregard: Try getting a pocket tn cover! It’ll fit the field notes and the passport insets better!
Thank you so much, it really means a lot that you find this interesting!! And also on the pocket TN advice, I'd love to get one but I like the leather of traveler's notebook and I can't tell if leather notebooks by other companies will be as soft... is there a company you'd recommend?
i've had Underland sitting in my TBR all year, this must be my sign to finally crack it open! i've also been thinking of starting a notebook wholely about the concept of 'environment' which would tie in nicely. thank you for the inspo, can't wait to see how yours turns out!
A notebook around “environment” sounds amazing!!!! Underland would be so perfect for inspiration too, would you be documenting locations you’re visiting or other places too?? Would it be physical environments?
Hi this is my second comment of the video :) i had to leave a comment and say thank you for sharing your research. You said its nerdy but i think its really cool. I cant wait for next videos 🎉
Aww thank you so much for appreciating this and leaving two comments ❤️ it means a lot :) I love making these kinda of videos, when I have time I will definitely make more!
When I first saw the Passport Traveller's Notebook, the first thing I thought of was Indiana Jones' dad's notebook in Last Crusade, lol. That was more of a commonplace book, holding all of his research.
That one more is just a leatherbound notebook but I can see where you see similarities! I've been considering using my own passport TN as a commonplace notebook but I haven't settled on a system for organization yet. That's my biggest obstacle right now. I also need to get more inserts.
this is such a cool idea and way to use your passport travelers notebook! i really like the aesthetic you’re going for, although the origins do carry a touch of a colonial mindset. very excited to see how well this setup serves you! thanks for sharing 💛
Yes I was wondering if I should address the colonialism and all the terrible things that happened because of this time of “discovery” for Europeans, but in the end it felt like too big a topic to summarise on this already long video 😅 but thank you for watching and it’s good to keep things in perspective!
@ oh absolutely it is a huge topic to cover! no worries for not touching on it 💛 enjoyed the information you shared and especially the book recommendation!
If you are interested in more travel journals, then maybe you could find one by Carl Gustaf Mannerheim, a Finnish officer (later the President of Finland) who served in the Russian Imperial Army for 30 years and travelled through China on horseback from 1906 to 1908 to collect military intelligence though the journey was disguised as an ethnographic and natural science expedition. The travel diary has been translated into English as "Across Asia from West to East in 1906-1908" and apparently contains a lot of photos, as well. According to some reviews there seems to be a quite a lot about the journey also in a biography about him by Jonathan Clements called "Mannerheim: President, Soldier, Spy", if that is easier to find. But if those are difficult to find or too expensive then there are some info and photos online, as well. Also Eric Enno Tamm did the same journey himself a century later and wrote a book about it called "The Horse that Leaps Through Clouds: A Tale of Espionage, the Silk Road, and the Rise of Modern China".
This is such a cool bit of history that I would never have looked into if not for your comment! Thank you and I will take a look to see if I can procure the travel diary. It sounds like the perfect inspiration
It’s the J Herbin metal refillable roller ball pen - I have a fountain pen ink cartridge inside. The pen is much easier to maintain than a fountain pen and writes smoothly even after longer periods of no use, plus I can use up all the fountain pen ink I’ve been hoarding
@@catspocketnote Thank you! I too have a mountain of fountain pen ink to use, and this pen sounds ideal. It took me a bit to find the black metal one, but I did; and ordered it immediately. 🥰
I’m so glad to follow into this rabbit hole. Love the aesthetic. Pls show updates.
Of course!! So glad you enjoyed watching :))

I haven’t watched Indiana jones yet but I’ve always wanted to - I think I’ll download it now you’ve mentioned there’s notebooks lol
@catspocketnote The notebook is in the third movie. Watch the first and third one. The others are optional.
Omg thank you so much 🙏 will do

I recommend watching Ruby Granger’s video on how to commonplace if you haven’t seen it already and need some ideas for structure!
Thank you for sharing cool stuff :) the notebooks with birds on the covers are so cool!
Glad you like the video!! Definitely check out Field Notes if you like their covers :)

Any Dollar tree notebook will do n
Can I ask what pen you have attached to your notebook?
