my travel JOURNAL

I decided when I went on my road trip, that I did not want to take to many things with me.  Because I wanted to enjoy my time with my friends.  So this is what I took and made.

1. first I decided it had to fit in my pencil bag, and it did.

2.  I would try to use only what I found while travelling. Brochures, receipts pictures etc.
     (I did take a baggie of stuff just in case) used very little of it

3.  I would try to draw and illustrate to truly make it mine
 Before I lleft I did two things, made a pamphlet booklet and made the map on the front page and the back
And that was all the rules I allowed , otherwise anything goes as you will see.

THE wine bottles were made out of candy wrappers that my friend

had in our room as a treat

 

 

 

 



I used a paper bag that I received when I bought some goodies, it had

images and stuff stamped on it

 

 

 

 



 

My friend bought some kale chips and I loved the label so I used it

it opens up and I can journal in it



Sometimes when you are doing a travel journal its nice

 

to put in things to do in the summer, animals you see on the highway

 

I have not drawn the animals I did see yet but I have saved a page just for that

 

That little fold out was given to me in a mail exchange

and it fit the picture of my friends perfectly

 

This is a map of Victoria, and I put some cards of places I wanted

to remember, and then drew on the map where they were

 

A lot of people now travel with pets, and I wanted to remember that,

on the opposite page, I drew some signs I saw along the highway

I made a pocket to store stuff, and add a shiny frame  on one of the images

Another bag page, that opens up and I made it so it stores stuff

I made a list of all the fruit that the Shuswap grows

 

 

 

And the last page of the map
