The Best Traveler's Notebook Size For Your Needs

To some, a traveler’s notebook is just a notebook. But to you, it’s more than just a notebook. It's where you keep your treasured memories detailing the ups and downs of life on the road. It's your safe space for expressing your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. It's a means for discovering and understanding your intricate inner world while you're exploring your expansive outer world. It's your solace in the lonely moments that come with the downtimes of travel, a way to keep the boredom at bay during the long waiting times at airports, and a means to share your experiences with your future self when no one else is around to share them with.

Despite living in a digital age, the most creative and adventurous people prefer a pen and paper. The small screen on a smartphone or tablet simply don't do justice for your vast imagination, and the last thing you need is your tech gadgets to run out of battery at the peak of your creativity and adventure.

So, for the true travel enthusiast, a refillable leather journal in the form of a traveler’s notebook is as essential to your experience as is your suitcase. Your traveler's notebook is almost a part of you.

For others, they are happy list taking, or simply collecting little momentos from the road. In this case, you want something to store these things in. Or maybe you're an artist who loves to sketch your ideas on paper.

Considering there's no real 'right or wrong way' to record your travel memories, the underlying similarity is you want to keep them safe and protected from being damaged while on the road. You also want a something that will fit your needs, that is, its size and features. So we've dug deep to explore the various traveler’s notebook sizes to see what each can do for your future travel endeavors and to help you choose the best traveler's notebook for your needs.

 

For The Travel-Obsessed

As a regular traveler, your idea of a good time is any time you get to unplug. You’re more of a note taker than you are a Candy Crush player. You like to escape and explore the outdoors, sans text messages, social media notifications and phone calls. However, you also like to jot down some notes while exploring the earth.

For The List-Maker

Every traveler knows the importance of a good list. You make a list of things you buy before you take off, things you pack, things that can’t go on your carry-on, things to do, places to see and the list goes on. Pardon the pun. Without your lists, you’d be lost. They keep you organized and prepared for your future travels.

Our regular personalized traveler’s notebook is perfect for you. It’s 4.5" wide, designed to give you enough room to make your lists without taking up valuable suitcase space. This size can fit any 1-5 Midori standard regular notebook inserts.  

 

For The Blogger

As a blogger, pen and paper are your lifelines like a smartphone is to a millennial. You’re constantly coming up with all kinds of new ideas, many of which happen at the weirdest, most unpredictable times. In a rainforest? Idea! Trekking bare foot in a desert? Idea! Your mind is always running and your travels spark so many ideas, you’d forget half of them by the time you returned back to your hometown.
