Travel journal: Scotland & London

32 pages of museums, hikes, and food in the UK

After writing about the benefits of travel journaling a few weeks ago, I’m here today to share my travel journal from my trip to the UK last month!

I’ve filmed a journal flip through video where I talk through my trip and some pointers for travel journaling. This UK travel journal ended up a bit chaotically organized as I had less time to journal on location. It also has more reflections and ephemera than my Lisbon/Nice travel journal. No two journals are the same, just like no two trips are the same.

For those who want to skip or skim the video but still get recs, here they are:
