I have loads of notebooks, but when I travel, my needs are pretty specific. I like a notebook that is light but durable, has a flexible cover (so it can shape itself around the contents when it gets thicker), a good number of pages, and has a closure and a pen loop.
Last year I used the Louis Vuitton Epi leather journal a student gifted to me a while back. It was perfect! Before our trip, I detailed all our bookings, flight details and packing/gift lists. I took a glue stick and some folding scissors with me so I could paste everything in as I went. It is now on my shelf as a little scrapbook of our trip. The nicest thing about it is that the pages are thin so the book has lots of pages while remaining light.
This time, I am battling to find something that fits the bill. I did find this travel journal by DK, but it had a stiff cover and preformatted pages for ten trips, which is not really what I want. I am also very into using what I already have in my stash. It did have an elastic closure though.
I then thought of my Naked Cow personal sized traveler’s notebook, which is a nice compact size (the regular TN is not wide enough, and the passport size is too small). But I could not find any inserts in my stash…
So the search continues. All tips welcome!
