15 Inspiring Travel Journal Writing Prompts You’ll Love
When you’re on the road, it can be hard to stop, pick up a pen and paper (or computer) and actually chronicle your travels. You’re so busy getting out and experiencing a new place that the last thing you want to do is take a moment to pause! As someone who coins herself “Jen on the Run,” I can totally relate. Keeping a travel journal may be a challenge on the road, but it’s also one of the best ways to reflect on the transformative experiences we have on trips. That’s why I rounded up 15 inspiring travel journal writing prompts that I know you’ll love.
It’s even better when you return home and have tons of journal entries to read that will bring back memories. Capture each sound, scent, and visual detail to make your memories even more vivid. You’ll feel as if you’ve been transported back in time by reading your descriptive writing. That’s what I love about writing in general, and most especially when writing about my travels.
By using these 15 inspiring travel journal writing prompts, you’ll be able to chronicle your adventures vividly and find motivation to start writing. They always say, starting is the hardest part of writing anything. Once you’ve started, though, then the words just begin to flow effortlessly.
My challenge to you today is to actually make the commitment to writing on your journeys. I know firsthand that it’s easier said than done. Yet sticking to your commitment and having something to show for it later is priceless.
It’s okay to breathe in and take a moment to pause. You don’t have to be “doing it all” – something I have to remind myself of constantly. Spending an hour or two savoring the details allows the moment to sink in. Go ahead – find a local bakery, sit down, treat yourself to a coffee and open your travel notebook. With these writing prompts, the whole process of writing and reflecting becomes so much easier!
