my southeast asia travel journal setup

September 14, 2015

seafauxdori2

Can you believe I’m going away to Southeast Asia in just 38 days? It’s happening so fast now that I’ve got everything booked, I’m just glad I started preparing for it beforehand. One the things that I always find to be important to me when going on a trip is to have a good travel journal. On my last trip abroad, I documented my travels on the go and I was so glad that I did. It was great to slow down for just a little bit each day–like 20 minutes–just to get everything down in my journal. I helped me reflect on my travels and myself and I found that I learned more about myself while traveling through my journaling. So naturally, on this trip, I want to do the same. So I compiled a journal and a little scrapbook kit to bring along with me.

I made this journal and set it up in conjunction with my Geoscrapping class that I launched last month. If you’re interested in learning how to make your own journal and kit and learn some of my tips and tricks to documenting your travels while on the go, head over to my shop to find all about the course. Anyway, I just wanted to show you how I’ve set up my journal and just talk a little about how I’m hoping to use it.

I chose to use a Midori-styled notebook for this journal–as opposed to my bound journals–because it gives me the flexibility to add more inserts if I need more space to journal. Since I’ll be away for 3 months, I wanted to have that flexibility in case I run out of writing space. I can always add another insert or two to my journal. So I made my journal cover large enough to accommodate my filled inserts and any other things I happen to add in along the way.


My first insert is just an information-type insert. I have a monthly calendar spread in there where I noted all the places I’m going to be at and all the attractions I want to see are indicated with little stamps. I just want to have a calendar there for reference, just so I know where I’m going to be and when. I also have lists of places I want to hit up, information on day trips, lists of embassy in each country I’m visiting, as well as my shopping lists all in this one insert. Watch the video below to see my entire journal set up.

Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Still working in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I had so much fun with this color scheme and style that I went ahead and made two matching #littleartnotes! This color combo is super rare for me (Titan Buff and Titan Mars Pale with Payne's Gray marks), but I'm really digging it! 

Happy Friday Loves! xx
When I originally set up these pages in my @getmes When I originally set up these pages in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal, I left a lot of space to write about what blooming means to me. It means growth, blossoming, and becoming. It means to flourish. It also represents nature and the restorative power of being in the wild. 

Bloom means a lot to me and yet while finishing up some of these half-finished pages, I was at a loss for words. This is when I found that word phrase stickers really help get the message across. xx
Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Seas Just another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. A lot of these pages were already in progress, so it's interesting to see them finished. I'm sure I had other intentions for what they were going to look like a couple of years ago when I first created this journal. Now, I'm content with matching colors, adding paint, and a few scribbles. This journal is all about the process of creating for me now, which I think is still a source of growth. xx
Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Another spread in my @getmessyartjournal Season of Bloom art journal. I rather like how this one turned out! I'm quite obsessed with using this Payne's Gray NeoColor crayon to make some scattered marks on my page. You might see a lot more of this in future spreads from this book. xx
I've been enjoying following along with the @getme I've been enjoying following along with the @getmessyartjournal #getmessymay prompts. I've basically been just watching them as they are posted. But the other night, I attempted the Happy prompt and it literally has gotten back into simply playing around with my supplies. I pulled out this very old Seasons of Bloom journal that is SO CLOSE to being finished. I figure I'd channel all of this creative energy I have right now to finishing it up!

I'm not responding to any particular prompt, just using the processes and techniques shared to finally complete this journal. xx
