We are all unique, varying in terms of culture, age, and gender, and we explore different journaling methods or learn from those we encounter. It's a matter of lifestyle choice; there's no absolute superiority in one approach over another. What truly matters is that the chosen method yields the desired results for you.
The Midori travel journal (not limited to the Midori brand; I use it as a reference for a similar type of travel notebook) is a personal favorite of mine. Its size is just perfect, accommodating various printed materials that I come across during my travels. I can easily clip them inside and jot down notes. I often enhance the pages with decorative washi masking tape, creating what I like to call 'warm media.' It's something you can hold, write on, touch, and flip through. By the end of the trip, it becomes the perfect travel gift you give to yourself.
Many believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, and for those who still carry a camera like myself, the joy lies in looking through the viewfinder, framing the perfect moment with precision, freezing it in time, and relishing the captured output. That's why my camera is always a companion on my travels. While trends shift with smartphones incorporating multiple lenses, potentially leading to the extinction of traditional cameras in the future, until that day arrives, I continue to find pleasure in using my camera to snapshot the scenes I encounter during my journeys.
A laptop, especially one in a slim size around 12 inches, is my ideal travel companion. While smartphones and tablets can accomplish a lot, when it comes to speed and the ability to comfortably work or relax on a sofa or at the beach, I prefer the convenience of a laptop.
A tablet, positioned as the third screen, following the laptop and smartphone, offers a larger display that surpasses what a smartphone can provide. It's an ideal platform for using a digital pencil for sketching and writing. Another great option for leisure occasions, such as reading ebooks at the beach, street sketching, or surfing the internet in any position you prefer, even while in bed.
Naturally, communicate directly through your smartphone as a method. When facing particularly challenging trips that require shedding many belongings, perhaps, in the end, the essential item we carry is just a smartphone—a symbol of modern travel with a touch of style. Ultimately, the goal is to relish the travel experience with someone dear, soaking in the scenery, and cherishing those shared moments. I believe that's what matters the most."
