About this book

The Art of the Travel Journal teaches how to create a personalized travel journal using drawing, painting, lettering, ephemera, and mixed media. The book offers techniques, ideas, and inspiration for recording the sights, sounds, smells, and flavors of travel. No prior experience is required, and readers can develop their own artistic style while learning to sketch, add lettering, create color palettes, and incorporate collected mementos like tickets, maps, and packaging. Author Abbey Sy, an experienced traveler who documents her global adventures on social media, provides step-by-step instructions alongside a holistic approach to journaling. The book covers pre-trip planning, setting intentions, gathering supplies, staying motivated, and archiving completed journals. It includes guidance on building a compact traveling art kit, creating travel zines, sending artful postcards, composition tips, and storing collected ephemera. Special sections address journal spreads organized by theme—architecture, museums and galleries, plants and nature, and food and drink—as well as documenting short trips and staycations. The techniques work for recording travel experiences or documenting life at home, making the book accessible to beginners.
