Benefits of Travel Journaling: A journal makes your trip to Italy more memorable. Keeping a diary makes you more attentive and even more perceptive in the long run. In today's constant rush pausing for a moment of reflection to fill in your travel journal is invaluable. There is no need to be afraid of forgetting your unique experiences because you will write them down however briefly. Whenever you are stuck somewhere or during long waits for a train, a bus or a delayed flight, you have a tool at hand for creative writing or for killing time (depending on your mood). If you are a solo traveler you will love using your travel diary when eating alone and not feeling like it. Adding drawings to your journal and making photos with your phone are two different animals. The discernment you put in a sketch, however simple, will never be there when you press a button absent-mindedly twenty times in a row. You don't have to compete with Vincent Van Gogh and your doodles will be precious memories you will treasure. You will be able to share magic moments of your trips to Italy with your kids or grandchildren because you will remember every detail thanks to your travel journal. TIP: Take a little glue stick with you or buy one in Italy and slap notes, train tickets, and business cards next to your writing. Writing your Travel Journal Try not to be self-conscious. A journal is not a novel and you don't have to worry about getting your grammar one hundred percent perfect. Allow yourself to use slang or even your own writing code. It's more fun. If you are afraid of blank pages simply jot down notes about the places you just saw and add some doodles. Start with brief comments and over time your writings will get longer without you even trying. Perhaps you will get into the habit of keeping a daily journal at home, which is always a great thing. If you are traveling with your kids, buy one for them too and they will probably get even more excited about their trip to Italy. They may also get used to keeping a diary at home, something that will surely help them in their life journey. TIP: Do not buy the crappiest pen. Use a decent one that writes smoothly.
