~ The most common type of Travel Journal is a travel diary.
~ Travel journals are often illustrated and have added clippings of your family vacation whereas a travel diary is kept to record much shorter information

~ But the travel journal has always been popular on our family vacations or even just short educational trips

How to keep a Travel Diary with Kids

~ the first thing is to buy a suitable travel journal that is kid friendly for your type of family vacation.
ie if you are going on an outdoor vacation buy a sturdy leather journal that can withstand the rough and tumble or rugged outdoor terrain and if you are going on a plane trip that get a small mini travel journal that can easily be stored away in a pocket

~ Maya loved having journaling pens and a mini bag with little journal pages attached to a keyring on her trousers on one of those springy spirals that stretch. That way her pens were always handy whether we were waiting in a airport lounge or in sitting in a tight queue

you can do a flora and fauna travel journal which can turn into a little botanical handbook of the area you travelled on your family vacation

~ You can do a travel postcard travel journal, adding a postcard from every town and family attraction you visited and searching shops and markets for vintage travel post card to see how the area might have changed Check out the local museum for pictures of how the town or resort may have looked 50 years ago and study a bit of its history keeping notes on famous people that lived here, famous landmarks etc

~ With a little research, the right equipment to stimulate a learning environment and plenty of patience you are well on your way to creating a perfect family vacation

~ Homeschooling allows for plenty of travel time and Maya and I love going on little ducational trips in our camper van RV , but most off all we love making travel journals, create lapbooks and vacation scrapbooks to remind us of the fun we had learning whilst traveling

Maya has kept travel journals since she was very little, starting with little mini journals where she drew what she saw to illustrated story journals. The right equipment for the type of family vacation you have planned is a good start, think about how you travel, by plane, by car etc and what type of travel diary kid sizedl fits your circumstance best- it does make a difference especially where space restrictions occur
