In my previous post on what a Bullet Journal is, you could read that I’m pretty obsessed by this new way of documenting your life.
While I am not the best designer and I don’t have a great handwriting (even though when I was a teacher years ago, I had to do a handwriting-on-chalkboard-exam and got a B, so it’s not horrible), I still find I like to get creative and find new ways to use the Bullet Journal other than just a monthly and daily bullet journal planner.
Scrolling through Instagram, I found quite a few cool examples of people using their Bullet Journal around travel-related topics, so today I’d like to give you some ideas on how to make your own journal a bit more interesting with these page spreads.
Make sure to pick up your own bullet travel journal, such as the Leuchtturm 1917 Notebook or the Moleskine Classic Notebook.
Let me know what your favourite bullet journal travel layout is!

I came looking for a couple layouts to include in my #bujo for an upcoming trip, but now I think I might start a whole new journal for travelling. This post showed lots of great ways to include large and small trips and make them all worthy of documentation. Well done! Thanks!
