I created destination:unknown journals after searching unsuccessfully for a travel journal to take on a summer trip to Europe. I looked in every bookstore, gift and stationery shop in the area. Although there were many journals to choose from, none were really suited for travel. Travelers need to be able to write while on the move, collect souvenirs, keep track of important information, and do it all without adding to the burden of luggage, so a travel journal has to be more than just paper inside two covers.

I realized the only way to get the travel journal I want would be to make my own, and so I did. The very first destination:unknown journal came with me to Europe, and worked out perfectly. When other travelers expressed interest in obtaining journals for their upcoming trips, I knew I couldn't keep them just for myself.

What sets these journals apart is the combination of style with only the most useful, travel-friendly features. They offer travelers the flexibility to chronicle their journeys in their own individual way. Whether it's descriptive writing, recordkeeping, sketching, or jotting quick notes, it's all possible. And saving souvenirs along the way enhances the special written memories of a trip.

Each journal is made by hand, and as such no two are exactly the same. Road-tested by travelers near and far, one enthusiastic traveler remarked about her destination:unknown journal:
"My husband and I traveled all over Wales by public transportation and it was so easy to keep a daily log of our activities, wherever our travels took us. At home now, I can relive our favorite experiences just by thumbing through the pages. During the past year, I had been on a quest to find the perfect travel journal - I need go no further!"

Are you looking for something special for the travelers in your life? A destination:unknown journal is the perfect gift for any trip...

a Mother's Day indulgent getaway;
a gutsy adventure to uncharted territory;
a cross-cultural student exchange;
a celebratory roadtrip after graduation;
a dream-come-true honeymoon;
a special anniversary trip-of-a-lifetime;
a long-awaited family reunion;
a search for family roots abroad;
a life-changing adoption journey.

As one who is always looking forward to the next trip (and the next, and next...) and is fond of reminiscing about past ones, I hope my journals inspire you to embark on new travel adventures and enrich your travel experiences.
