(Not to mention, carrying a hole punch with you will get you stopped at airport security every time. I loved it - that book is still one of my favorites, but I've found that between the amount of writing I do, the volume of paper and ephemera I collect, and the length of my trips, that using those giant metal rings is not my favorite way to go. Next I tried some small 3-ring binders for shorter family trips, then took the Scrapbooking on the Road online workshop with Ali Edwards before my Foreign Business Excursion that was a part of my MBA program back in 2011 I used that method to document that trip. This book was done as a project / scrapbooking class during my trip to China (back then I was still doing a fair amount of scrapbooking, it was a scrapbooking focused trip - with Heidi Swapp, which was a lot of fun.) I started with a simple book made from cardstock, office supplies, a few scrapbook embellishments, and ephemera picked up on the road. Below you can see the progression as I've continually refined the format and style of my journals over the years.

A decade later and things are coming full circle as I head back to China for the third time, only this time with a much different approach to my journaling. I've been making travel journals for ten years now, starting with my first trip to China in 2008. Of course, I'm going to need to document this year's trip of a lifetime. We'll be keeping mainly to the Northern trade route through Western China, starting in Xi'an and then traveling by private train through five of the seven "Stans." lol) as I start in China and follow along the Silk Road in the footsteps of Genghis Khan and Marco Polo. This year I'm heading out on the trip of a lifetime (I feel like I've said that before. when I make a new journal and assemble supplies so that I can document my next adventure while I'm on the road.
