Now I simply don’t have enough time to engage in such arts & crafts activity. I used to love creating spreads where I would cross out (or color out □ ) days left to a trip. Imagine explaining to a hungry 3-year-old that he can’t have his lunch right now because the restaurant we planned to visit is still 5km away! (We tried this by the way, and you don’t want to know how “well” it ended □ ). When you travel with kids, your schedule needs to be flexible enough to prevent random tantrums. This seems like a great thing to do in advance, doesn’t it? Nope. Ended up tearing out pages in my poor bujo. Those spreads look awesome, but man, they require so much work AND drawing skills! I’ve attempted drawing a map of Europe once. To each their own, obviously, but for the sake of having a full picture of my bujo personality, I’ll mention some.Ĭreating a world map and marking countries I’ve been to. To spice things up a bit I also add stuff like used boarding passes, receipts or even local currency that I’m unable to change back □Īs briefly mentioned above, there were some ideas which I’ve tried, but they simply didn’t work for me. I use this HP Sprocket portable photo printer to print my favorite images, and then create a memory setup. Having a photo printer is a must if you’d like to create such spread without too much of a hassle. I usually dedicate two pages in my bujo to cover the best memories of the trip. Preparing a Memory Spread is a joy! It is something I’m happily doing when we return home. I need to give a shout-out here to who created this awesome things-to-do list. You can also make your kids feel in charge by showing them the list and allowing them to choose what to do on a certain day. Sometimes we see/do everything from the list. What we later select from the list usually depends on factors such as: the weather, general mood of our kids and how little sleep we got at night. During a date with Uncle Google, I preselect a number of fun things to do in each destination, usually based on my personal preferences (shh, don’t tell my husband!). Now, however, I find lists of places to visit more useful. This was how I usually planned our travels before the kids. I include itinerary whenever we are absolutely sure what and when we are going to visit. So what’s the difference between those two? It’s pretty simple. What I definitely use every single time is either a fixed itinerary, or a list of places to visit. □ I admit that I don’t really find it useful (hello, Google!). I also like this checklist by Tiny Ray of Sunshine, eye-pleasing, and simple.Īnother thing I would always include is weather info, although I do it mostly because I think it looks cute in the spread. During packing, I tick off boxes with a pencil and erase the ticks as soon as I’m all done. I have one in each bujo, where I divide my stuff into categories and reuse the list before every travel. In my travel spreads, everything revolves around a packing checklist. Here are my best and the worst bullet journal travel spreads. At this point in time, I am proud to say that I’ve developed a travel planning system that works (at least for me □ ). Some of them proved really useful, some didn’t work at all. I’ve tried lots of different travel setups. Using my bujo to plan our trips was a no-brainer. It still doesn’t look as appealing as all the artsy ones you can find on Instagram, but it’s useful which is what matters the most. Now, after over two years into journaling, I’m organizing my whole life via my beloved bujo-planner creation. It started as a love-hate relationship – I have absolutely zero talent in the drawing department, and setting up each notebook was an enormous challenge. Those who met me know how crazy I am about everything related to bullet journaling, in addition to being a stationery junkie.
