This was a really lovely and comprehensive guide to travel journalling.

I enjoy creating mixed media journals and was looking to expand into travel journalling and this guide was perfect.

I feel it would suit experienced and beginner crafters alike as there is a very clear introduction to the materials needed.

The details of the history of travel journals was interesting and a lovely addition.

There are many beautiful layouts to admire and find inspiration from along with detailed lessons. I particularly enjoyed the guide to brush lettering.

Although there are guides to layouts and materials the author is respectful of the individuality of the journaller.

Overall I found this book to be beautiful, clear and inspiring.

Many thanks to the publisher for providing me with a digital ARC through Netgalley.

Cool way to document your travels. Really great ideas for the artistic, crafty person. Different types of pins, brushes, paint, pencils, watercolors to create the artwork and calligraphy. There are ideas for paper types, rubber stamps and stickers. Shows ways to document your travels and how to collect items to include. They show you how to create envelopes and different layouts to use.

The Art of the Travel Journal by Abbey Sy is an intensely thorough look at travel journaling. I have been scrapbooking and card making for close to twenty years but I was not prepared for this labor intense approach. I did find it all very interesting with some ideas being very helpful.

One idea was carrying post-it notes to list major words or thoughts as the trip progresses. This is very different from the writing down what happens everyday method which can become boring to say the least. The major word leans itself to word pictures to be used in the actual journal. The making ephemera envelops and pockets is also an idea to easily incorporate.

The overall journals described in this book are in depth works of art. I was amazed at some of the pages but unsure if I have that kind of artistic ability. Still there is something for everyone to try. Ideas are clearly given with the list of materials needed along with examples.

The publisher through Net Galley provided a digital ARC. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts.

I’ve recently discovered Abbey Sy’s Instagram and this is the second of her books I have read. I find her to be a real inspiration as someone keen to begin a daily journal practice but not quite so sure where to start. For me, this new book builds on her previous book ‘The ABCs of Journaling’ and gives some great tips and suggestions for getting the most out of your travel journaling. Just seeing Abbey’s own journal and those of others featured really helps me get ideas in terms of page layouts. I’m looking forward to trying out some of the suggestions in this book on my next trip.

I love to travel and genuinely wish I was more meticulous when I comes to documenting my travels. For both my studies abroad I kept journals in addition to taking thousands of photos, but have never made them into anything. This book provides great inspiration, but it is a bit more advanced that what most beginners will want to do. That being said, there are step by step instructions for creating beautiful travel journals. Personally I have no artistic skill so the sketching and lettering featured heavily in the book isn't for me, but it is beautiful to look at. I loved the photos of both the author's travels and her journals. I also liked seeing the journals from other creators as it shows the variety that is possible based on the individual's style.

For sure this would make a great library book to help inspire others to not only journal, but to journal traveling amoungst other things! I had the idea to journal my life in the fashion of a travel journal, that way I will finally have a place for all those odds and ends I have been carrying around. I can't wait to start! Thank you NetGalley!

This was a beautifully done and very interesting look at the techniques and styles that on can use to travel journal in an artistic and easy way. I loved the amount of pictures and tutorials- it felt like a real live class one travel journaling, all from the comfort of my iPad! I would highly recommend for travelers,, both enthusiasts and casual ones, as a cheap way to create souvenirs.

I've only been able to dream of making a journal like this! The Art of the Travel Journal offers easy to follow lessons and inspiration. You can really do this. It allows you to capture more than just a photograph of a trip. It becomes a piece of art that will last forever. A great gift idea, too, coupled with a blank journal and some pens.

This journaling books gave me so many ideas! I loved the topics and other uses for a way to oreganize and relive your travelings. I also really thought the background and lists of supplies was so helpful.

I'm not a travel writer, though I play one on tv. (Just kidding) I love the idea of travel journaling, and for the majority of my life, I did keep a journal, though it was no where as beautiful or creative as the journals that people are creating these days.

So when I came across this book, I was damn excited to pick it up and see how travel journaling was coming along. I had just gotten back from a trip to the UK and honestly, I had a lot of pictures and maps and ticket stubs and no where to put them!

This is a very general overview of travel journaling. The art and photography in the book are beautiful. I love the layouts and the end of the book there is a lovely section to contact info on some of the writers that the author enjoys including their Instagram handles. (I did end up following all of them and am looking forward to having a much more beautiful insta feed.)

There are different sections on exploring the different type of art journaling including collage. There are so many ways on collecting and expressing your memories. I liked the visual examples of journals, giving me ideas on layout and creative expression like stickers, tapes, papers and watercolor art. I also liked how the author talked about Text, photo or art heavy formats. Of course there can be a mixture of all of these things, but I liked how it was designed.

That said, I wish there was more. More more more! Especially more information on materials. There are general guidelines and creative suggestions, but the beginning materials section seemed sparse for me. I like links or maybe a review or highlight of a type of journal. They were very general suggestions and I think that's fine for some, but I wanted a little more opinion on the materials section. I also wish there was some discussion on leaving space for things to be inserted later on. I know, maybe this isn't everyone but I have a young child and I don't get long leisurely time to focus on my creative pursuits. I would have liked a section on how to think about overall layout and saving some time and space for things to be inserted later, or how to leave enough room if you didn't want to write/create in a linear format.

Overall, this charming and lovely book really spoke to me. I loved the pictures and it was very inspiring. I am excited to buy a small journal to try for myself for my last trip. I have a feeling it will be photo and text heavy, so... yeah. Better buy more glue!

As a fellow artist, traveler, and journal keeper, I was excited to go through this book.
This is a short volume full of charming journal pages to inspire you to start your own. The author explains terminology and different styles of journals to get started. I feel this would be a perfect for someone who is interested in starting a travel journal. It has lots of lovely photos to get you excited.
Personally, I was hoping to have more detailed techniques in lettering, page compositions, unique page creations because I have knowledge of basic journaling already - so personally, I would give it 3 and half stars (rounded up to 4). It is probably better suited for a beginner.

An advanced copy of this Ebook was provided courtesy of Quarto Publishing Group, Querry Books, and the author for review purposes. Opinions expressed here is my own.

Here's the thing, if you are into memory keeping especially of your milestones, travel this book gives an opportunity to maybe learn a new way of doing it, since it's topic is Travel Journaling.

If you are already Journaling your travels, this book will help you explore how to add more , creatively, to your journals, with it's tips, lessons and some basic concepts made clear and simple to grasp.
I enjoyed the text written to explain the concepts and the illustrations were gorgeous. I read the digital version,however if you get a physical copy of this title it's as good as getting your hands on the author's art work that you can use in your personal journaling (only btw).

This novel will not allow me to download it. So I cannot simply say what this novel will be about however it does have a nice cover. Pity. I thought this would be great to read.

The Art of the Travel Journal by Abbey Sy is a guide on how to write a travel journal, as you'd guess.  It has photos and descriptions of different versions, such as photo, drawings, writing, and a combination.

It has step by step guide for things like collaging, suggestions on how to decide what type of travel journal you might want to do, tips and suggestions for how to do things like making your own watercolour tin.

I thought this was a very inspiring book, with lots of photos and suggestions of people who use travel journals you can follow, and get ideas from!

The Art of the Travel Journal was published on 13th September 2022, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

You can follow Abbey Sy on Instagram, YouTube and her website.

I was given access to this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to Quarto Publishing Group and Quarry Books.

This book is beautiful and has lots of helpful ideas, inspiration and tips for creating your own travel journal in lots of different styles.

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a beautiful journal guide!

The book has tips on how to organize your journal, what kind of materials to use, and how to best use your journal space. The book talks about using color, how to come up with a theme or best capture your experiences, and ways to get started.

This is a great guide for anyone wanting to start travel journaling.

Now that COVID travel restrictions are lifted, people are enthusiastically embracing travel once again.. Although travel isn't in my near future, I love any books about journaling, so I jumped at the offer from NetGalley to review an electronic version of this book.

The test with any art-related book for me is: Does this book inspire me to get out the supplies and dive in? This book certainly passed the test, and as the author Abbey Sy promised, this kind of journaling is easily transferable to my life at home. It has given my journaling habit a much-needed kick start. The guest artist section soon had me discovering new artists to follow on social media.

If you are new to journaling, this book has everything you need no matter what format/style you want to try. The book covers art heavy, text heavy, photo heavy, and collage heavy formats, and if you can't decide, try the author's favorite, the ultimate combination!

The end of the book still needs a few edits to be ready for final publication, in my opinion. Although promised in the introduction to Chapter 6 Honing Your Habit, I couldn't find the tips on storing journals. (I was really looking forward to those tips, too!) Chapter 7 The Guest Artist features some terrific journalers, but the section on Resources is disappointing, and two of three website links are wrong or no longer in service.

All in all, this is a terrific book despite the weak ending - 4 out of 5 stars!

I knew about Abbey Sy as a lettering artist but did not realize that she also keeps travel art journals. I went and followed her Instagram account right away, eager to see how she combines her lettering skills with her paintings. Her journal pages are eye candy and she does incorporate some beautiful letterings in her journals, though perhaps not as much as I had hoped.

This book is more for beginners looking for basic ideas on how to keep an art journal, what style, and so on. Step by step instructions are few and far between. The examples given (from both herself and other artists) are gorgeous. I think this would make a great gift to encourage someone to keep painted, collaged and written records of their travels, especially if bundled with an essential kit.

I am full of admiration for this young, accomplished author! Beautiful book!

4 stars from me.

First, the pictures and illustration are beautiful! There are some great tips in here about not just journaling but also traveling and packing. Using the right paper, pens, and markers is important. I wish I had better handwriting and sketching skills, but those aren't needed to do many of the examples. I try to write a few sentences each day and this is very helpful in what to do with those notes!

I love all forms of journaling, including art journaling, so I was excited to read this book. I'm a fan of Abbey Sy's art and was really interested in reading about travel journals. I was already aware of a lot of information, but there were a few things that I learned and some tips that I think would be useful for everyone interested in journaling. I really loved that Abbey included an artist gallery so that you can see other artists and journalers who keep travel journals.
