Traveling is not just about the destinations; it’s about the unforgettable moments that make the journey worthwhile. And what better way to capture those priceless memories than through the ancient art of travel journaling and scrapbooking? But forget the conventional notions of meticulous organization and serious creativity — we’re about to embark on a hilariously quirky adventure where travel journaling and scrapbooking take on a whole new dimension!

The “Not-So-Artistic” Start

Let’s be honest; not everyone possesses the skills of Michelangelo or Picasso when it comes to artistry. So, our journey may begin with a less-than-perfect drawing of what was supposed to be the Eiffel Tower, but accidentally turned into something more resembling a lopsided stack of pancakes. No worries, though; our sense of humor is intact!

The “Lost in Translation” Moments

Traveling to foreign lands opens up opportunities for communication mishaps. Remember that one time you tried to ask for directions in a language you didn’t speak, only to end up pointing frantically at a map with a confused smile? Yes, we’ve all been there! And guess what? Those awkward moments deserve a dedicated scrapbooking page.

I enjoy getting lost in a good book, spend time with my cats, admire the beauty of the natural world, and appreciate the creativity of the art world.
