So if you find yourself staring at those blank pages like a deer in the headlights, we have a few travel journal prompts to get your hand moving! Travel Diary Questions To Ask Yourself Looking back on it now, it was because I never really knew where to start. Even in grade school, I used to cover my black composition book with stickers and write in it as a diary only to give up on it a week later. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought a blank journal at my local bookstore with these grand ideas of detailing my life only to never use it. (Actually, I think he already can.Creating your own travel journal can be hard work. I’ll just have to teach him how to write a more interesting travel journal before we go. ![]() I’ve never been back there, but having read this, I now really want to go and take my son there. I’ve read it cover to cover, over thirty years on, and it actually reminded me of some of the activities we did in Kalbarri that I’d forgotten about. Kalbarri diary – my travel journal as an eight-year-oldīut it just goes to show that even a badly-written travel journal can be a special memory for the author of it. As you’ll see in the second sample page below, though, I finally succumbed to not just hundreds of words describing not much but I did manage to stick in some paraphernalia, too, to celebrate our trip on the River Queen boat and a climb part-way up Tumblagooda Hill. In Travel Journal School we have a whole section about picking the right details to include and not simply writing down every little thing that happens to you, and my eight-year-old self obviously needed to learn that lesson. Some of the highlights (amongst, it has to be said, many lowlights) of my travel journal include the fact that we got our car tyres pumped up “a bit” as we were leaving Perth, and the nice precise detail that my sister was passing time with her “See-A-Word” puzzle book (while I, obviously, was just sitting there absorbing every minor detail so that I could then write a very long-winded travel journal entry).

I totally love my precision – we left at 7.21am to drive to Kalbarri! – and it’s good to see that kids stay the same, because my excitement about sleeping in a top bunk bed is the same excitement my son had when he got this chance in Iceland last year.Īlong with this, I also created a special travel journal just for the Kalbarri experience.

I was a bit excited to find some 1984 diaries in a box recently. ![]() Did you keep a travel journal (or just an everyday diary) when you were a child? I have various diaries and journals from many times of my life and I actually love looking back on them – most often because they make me laugh, but they’re also a great way to remind me of forgotten events of the past, and especially places I’ve been and my impressions of them.
