How to Make a Travel Journal

- How to make a travel journal entry that you love both during the process and once it's all done is something I've been working on for the last few months. And since I've been getting a bunch of emails and DMs from people hoping to make a travel journal, but not knowing where to start, I thought it could be fun to walk you through my creative process via this entry about our adventures in Athens, Greece. I give tips on how to choose a color palette, what mediums I love best for journaling, and why I think urban sketching is a great tool to rely on both for sparking memories and for organing the page. This is a little bit different from our normal journal with me sessions, but I hope you enjoy all the info!
I'd love to hear your tips for journaling!! So if you have any other ideas please leave them in the comments so we can all learn from each other :)
Love,
Dana

I did not even watch the video yet, but wanted to take the time to say thank you. Thank you for making videos about my 2 favorite topics, vanlife and journaling. Thank you for just being you. For focusing on art, beauty and calm, instead of all that overrated hipster stuff other vanlife couples do to show off. I could watch your videos for hours and hours - in fact that’s what I was planning, when I came here just now and saw your new vid popping up. Save travels and all the best! With many greeting from Germany. XXX
What I actually really like to do is collecting a lot of tickets, flyers, brochures,.. to stick in the journal. Also I like to stick in photos I have made and some poems that fit :) Thank you for your inspiring videos!!!!
Ahh the fear of the white page.... it’s a very real thing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love seeing everything you do with your art. I loved seeing your 30 days of ink drawings video and now this! You are a very creative person and make me want to get my supplies back out and get working again. Thank you
I 100% agree that urban sketching helps you slow down and enjoy the places you travel to. My partner and I did it in Prague at the St. Charles bridge. We sat there for hours sketching with some fancy markers we got in Berlin and saw so many tourists come, snap a photo and go. Prague is now one of our favorite cities that we went to on that trip ♡
Beautiful again! Although I wish you were going to read the bit you wrote for Athens. I always love hearing your descriptions, they are like poetry.
Watching the videos that you both put out relaxes me so much. Thank you for sharing.
I love your composition, sketches, explorations, dialogue, pleasant voice, and demos!!! I am subscribed and save all your vids. I love going on adventures "with you."
This is particularly true for Ireland, Scotland, and did you visit and sketch England? All 3 are my heritage.
Thank you for creating your channel! As mentioned below my comments, I love your van life, as well as other tiny living and minimalism paths.

those little sculptures are a mixture of votive offerings, small pitchers or oil flasks. sometimes a mixture of two things like an oil votive offering in the shape of something the believer wanted. A lot of them are repetitive and kinda all blend in together but some are SO cute and expressive. I enjoyed seeing their various ways to depict hedgehogs and owls.
You guys make us all feel much better about life on this rainy day in the uk,keep up the great work
I'm Greek and I used to live in Athens and you really captured the feel of the city for me. All that bright, white, expansive light! Now I'm feeling nostalgic...
I really needed the calming voice of Dana today. I always enjoy your videos guys. Thank you. Sending love ❤️
This reminds me of my experimental sketchbooks I would do on my textile degree!! Lush! I would use double sided sticky tape rather than glue though... stops the wrinkles. Enjoy your break and I look forward to your return x
Wow I loved this video. I am from Greece but have never did journaling like this...thank you for sharing!!👍🌷
Your videos are always so calming and inspiring! I love seeing how your creative mind works, and all the memories you're making!
Thank you for giving me the idea of a travel journal since I love writing but never got to sit down and write something but now when I travel alone I will for sure start my journal with a banger cus I always travel with my family
Ps: thank you again I’m 19 that’s why I can’t travel alone and I don’t have enough money
I really love the travel journal series. Thanks guys for encouraging and inspiring creativity. 🌞
Woke up to this with my morning tea ❤️ so relaxing!
I would love to hear about your plans for the winter... Your life is so inspiring!
You posted just in time i finished studying for an exam tomorrow, and just in time i start doing a page on my own journal! coincidence? no, it's just dana & lou always blessing us with amazing content, haha ♥
Lovely vid as always. Thank you. God bless you both.
love how unique and inspiring this channel is 😍💞
Dana, love when you do your travel journal..so inspiring and you draw so beautifully and naturally!!!
i just love you 2! you guys are amazing!
I agree with getting it done before gluing.
It's like being a kid again, thanks for sharing such a great experience...😊❤
Good morning Dana & Lou all the way from New Mexico ♡♡♡ love you both!
I am just getting started with journaling again. I have not been able to do much just yet. When I got my first journal, I was forced to move from the place I was living, so my actual journal is in storage right now. I want to start journaling. My thing is that I am not an artist, so I will have to take pictures or get pictures from different pamphlets and such from different places. One place that I hope to get to go to one day is Ireland, as my daughter and I have traced back ancestry to our family land. That is so exciting, so I am looking forward to traveling now that I am retiring.
Just got inspired to do something, thank you.
I wish I could draw/paint, it looks like it’s really calming to do
Alice Baskerville Michael's has art supplies on sale alot. Water colors are so fun & cheap. One huge corporation coined a slogan once with a swath swish thingy JUST DO IT!
Linda Clark I live in Italy so no Michael’s but I can try with other cheap stores... but how can you learn by yourself?
Make a shooting film episode in Greece!!
As soon as I saw the title of this one, I was super excited and jumped to press play! Thank you for sharing your process on this. I've been making bullet journals for the past 3 years now and started making collages on greeting cards, but I haven't done collaging in an actual journal yet because it seems like such a big leap for something I'm not that skilled in. So this helps me so much! xo
Awesome! xxEmma
LOVE
I love to know what you have written down on this page! I journal too!
Love this , collecting stubs and brochures tp save doe making this journal when I return! 2 weeks! Looking forward tp next post!
You are so lovely Dana! Bought my journal a while ago and can’t wait to start on it! Work has been getting in the way lol I hope you read a lot of the book in your audiobook! I bought the bundle and I’m so excited to hear it! Your voice is so soothing! You and Lou are great at your jobs! Love you guys! Stay amazing! 😊
What a relaxing way to start my day ❤️ I love these videos from you. I worked on my travel journal last night as we've just got back from Valencia 🐬
Never clicked on anything faster than I clicked this video 🤩
Your channel inspires me to follow my dreams.
I really wish I had watched this video before my last trip this tips is so helpful! also... I kinda want to go to Athens now :P
You didn't read your reflection to us! :(
Thank you for this!! 🙏🏻💙🙏🏻
So cool....thanks for these tips!!!🤩
Early in the video you spoke about how your urban sketching pushed you to remember certain things. In that way it shapes your memory. In my experience with traveling its more moments, people, etc., so you might think about snapping a photo of a moment (like a nice dinner or whatever) and sketching it later, or at that time if you have time. I guess what I’m trying to say is is your travel journal reflective of the actual experiences you want to remember? Might be a fun way to add some dimension
I'm leaving for London and Paris in a few days and this is so helpful!!
i miss your video!!! love you sweet people ; ]
As always Dana so so lovely! Love from Brooklyn :)
This was so nice, I watched it twice ♥
I make travel journals on PowerPoint. It's just less expensive and sometimes, more beautiful
I’ve always desired to do a travel journal, but I allow other things to get in the way, and know that if I don’t do it immediately, it won’t get done at all. Lack of discipline 😢
I just found your channel few days back. I've been binge watching your videos days ans nights. I want to buy your ebook but i don't live in the state nor i have paypal. You guys are two beautiful souls. Love you guys ♥
Wow I'm actually in holiday to Greece, drawing for my Greece travel journal at the moment! I saved this video for this moment even before knowing this was your athens video
Dear Dana, dear Lou, love all of your videos and am happy every time a new one comes out. I started really getting serious about analog photography after I watched your video. Ed has been a huge inspiration, too :) Dana, just wanted to ask because I noticed them before and I am always on the lookout for such ones: can you tell me the brand of your sandals? Thank you so much, Linda
Thank you ❤️ can’t wait to start mine when I travel.
I was just wondering if you could post a list of the different pens/pencils and ‘tools’ you use to create?
Thanks for this
WHERES THE VIDEOS. MISS THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what journal are you using there for your daily notes?
Are you guys okay? No video, no news letter. I hope everything is okay
What the brand name of the journal you are using for your travel journal? I hope you will do a video on shooting film again and incorporating the photos in you travel journal. Take care!
adorei obrigado
Where are you guys???
Where are you guys now?
Hope all is ok?
Any architects here
I noticed that you write the way I do (hold your writing utensil) the same as I do! Not a common thing!
