Travel Journal for Explorers

The Perfect Travel Companion: Our Old World Foldover Journal

The foldover panel of this journal closes with a magnet to secure your writing, making it an excellent personal diary that requires no lock or key. The premium ivory paper features light gray lines that subtly guide your writing, and pens, fine-line markers, and colored pencils all perform beautifully without feathering or bleed-through.

The cover design reproduces an antique map from the Age of Exploration, with timeless details such as corner vignettes and continents standing in relief with raised embossing. Intricate gold foil and a burgundy trim on the spine and edges of the magnetic foldover panel add to the journal's elegance. Inside, bronze endpapers complement the design, and the latitudinal scale from the cover illustration is replicated along the top of each page, along with inspirational quotations about travel every few pages.

With 160 lightly lined, archival/acid-free pages, this sturdy hardcover journal measures 6-1/4" wide by 8-1/4" high, making it large enough to write in expansively yet compact enough to fit easily in a bag or backpack. The binding opens flat for ease of use, and the magnetic panel closes securely to protect your journal entries.

Whether you're an armchair traveler or a world explorer, this beautiful and practical journal makes a perfect keepsake gift for those embarking on a trip. Its timeless design and travel-themed quotations will inspire their journey, and it will look great on the shelf upon their return.

In 1928, at the age of twenty-two, Peter Beilenson began printing books on a small press in the basement of his parents' home in Larchmont, New York. Peter—and later, his wife, Edna—sought to create fine books that sold at prices even a pauper could afford. Today, still family owned and operated, Peter Pauper Press continues to honor our founders' legacy—and our customers' expectations—of beauty, quality, and value.
