You Are Here: A Mindful Travel Journal

I ordered this journal for an 11y/o girl and liked it okay, but didn't feel like it was appropriate for her age. It is more geared toward adults as there is some more mature content in the form of humor. For example, one of the statements said something like "if you wake up drunk in a jail cell wearing a clown costume that smells like ponies, that is your business." There was another comment about self-flaggelation and that if you pack an instrument of self-flaggelation in your luggage, that is your business. If you don't mind these types of comments, it is a neat little journal and is thought provoking - encourages you to really be in the present moment and appreciate it and reflect upon it. Gives plenty of space to write and add drawings or doodles. Most of the pages are unlined, so give you freedom to be a little more creative.

I am a very frequent cruiser with almost 300 days in three years. How many ports and sea days have I breezed through going through the motions of regular travel, although fun, but some of those memories were lost due to not being "present". This is such a unique way to remind you to be in the moment of your vacation. I'm not one for looking for the "spiritual" side of travel but I took a chance on purchasing this book. It was so much more fun than a record of your daily trip activities and I'm going to get another one when I go on my next adventure. I wish that they offered this book in a spiral bound version also so it would lay flat. It was harder to use because it kept wanting to close when I was doing my "artsy" thing. Buy it, you'll like it.

I've suffered from depression on and off for a long time and have come a long way in the last 6 months when I started therapy for some recent issues. I also get some secondary anxiety and indecision issues to go along with it. I'm planning a road trip all across the united states to last a couple months for this coming summer and bought this journal as a travel companion to help me guide myself. I cracked it open a few weeks ago while I'm still in the planning phase and it is perfect! Lots of space for doodling, thought logging, guided mindfulness exercises, beginners meditation walkthroughs, areas to help you prep for your trip where you can stick ticket stubs, write contact numbers, etc. And all this stuff is prompted for you. I mean this thing is beyond perfect. Got me started on some meditation exercises and has really helped me maintain a calm demeanor. I'm so excited to fill it up when I'm traveling.

This book is super cute. I plan to use it when my husband and I and go on vacation to the Bahamas. we will be in the airport for several hours flying to Florida. Although I do not want to ruin the entire book for myself, I did read a couple pages. The ones that I read were adorable and for the lack of a better term very mind opening? The book kind of points out things that you should look at differently or to pay more attention to you and I really enjoyed that. I cannot wait to use this book and documents my vacation with my husband and have something to look at a few years down the road and really remember what happened

Although I am still writing in this journal as my trip isn't for another two months, it does offer a chapter to work on in preparation. (as well as chapters for the trip itself and follow up afterwards) The content within is great and definitely gets me thinking of ideas to write down. There is plenty of space to write, draw, paste pictures and make the journal your own. With the limited ability to find single trip travel journals, I was happy to find this one. I look forward to filling it up!

It had a lot of interesting prompts about things you could or should notice -- but they were on every page and after a while it was annoying. Sometimes I just wanted blank pages. Some of the prompts, for example: "Have you had any crazy dreams? Draw them as a cartoon strip here." "How does it feel to sleep in this place?" (That one wasn't so bad) "How has performing your customs and rituals made you feel?" I guess the idea was to be "mindful," but to me it was overthinking and I just wanted a journal to write in. I wish I hadn't written anything in it at all, so I could get my money back.

I bought a few journals and this one, while maybe a little more simple (looks-wise) than the others, was the one that tugged at my heartstrings the most. I gave this to my daughter the night before her study abroad trip to Spain. I wrote little notes all throughout the journal as a little surprise she will see while journaling. This journal has some great, thought provoking questions which is what really sold me on it. It's also amusing at times without being overdone or cheesey.

I gave my sister this gift for her study abroad experience in Italy and she absolutely loved it! She wrote in it every day and it made wonderful memories for her! Many of the prompts in the book help you get started with your writing! Asking about what you see, hear, smell, taste, etc. Very cool!

For me, there was a lot of wasted pages of things to fill in. I think I definitely would have served myself better with just a blank journal for travel.

I have just received it. Seems interesting to explore. Looks like no other traveling journal.Leaving photos to have a hint of what's inside.

BEST journal I could have asked for. The prompts were perfect and so much space for my own ideas and mementos. I like this product. Will buy again.

Exactly as advertised. Unique approach to recording your trip. Much better than a blank notebook.

Amazing journal for travelling. Adds insight to your experience throughout your journey.
