Holidays: 3 good reasons to keep a travel diary

Keeping a travel diary can be considered obsolete and yet! This practice can be a wonderful way to preserve memories of your moments of escape, but not only. It is also an approach that can bring other benefits. Here are 3 of them.

To remember this trip when you need it

1 week, 15 days, 1 month, 1 year or several years… No matter how long you travel, this moment away from home will remain unforgettable. And if you like to dive back into your memories every now and then, what could be better than finding the notebook in which you have collected airline tickets, concerts, exhibitions to remember every detail of this trip. You will also be able to re-read your notes, your moods, and fully relive this excursion in the warmth of your comfortable sofa.

To share addresses and memories with loved ones

Another advantage of keeping a travel diary is obviously to write down the useful addresses that you have come across while travelling. Unmissable activities, restaurants where you enjoyed yourself, coworking spaces where the coffee doesn’t taste like sock juice, little secret places discovered during your walks… This list can be very long depending on the passions that drive you. The interest of putting all these addresses on paper rather than saving them on Instagram or TikTok? That way, they won’t get lost in the flood of videos saved on your phone.

Encounter

Whether you travel alone or accompanied, this time away from home can be loaded with reflections, questions or even decisions. Whether it’s to see the path travelled, to immerse ourselves in thoughts that may have been ours in a bygone era or even to find ourselves a bit when the path becomes blurry, keeping a travel diary halfway between an intimate diary and a Adventure story can be very helpful for your future self.
