How to Keep an Exciting Journal of Your Travels by Bicycle

So, you want to document your journey by bicycle but don’t know where to begin. You’ve never kept a journal before and you’re not going to be able to write every time you feel like sharing your experience on top of a bike. What should you do to mark each momentous occasion? One of the easiest ways to revisit your daily adventures is through the photos that you take with your camera and the voice recording feature on your phone.

Both are valuable tools while traveling because they help you remember the names of places you’ve visited, the people you’ve met, and the experiences you’ve shared together. Whenever you stop for a break, take a moment to share your thoughts about what you’ve seen, tasted, heard, and experienced. Reflecting upon your travel experiences helps give you valuable insight about yourself as a person as well as your goals for your next bicycle tour.

Once you’ve stopped for a night’s rest, you can transfer your voice recorded entries into written entries into your travel notebook or journal. This allows you to flesh out the details while they’re still fresh in your mind. A glue stick makes it easy for you to add photos, ticket stubs, maps, and more to your notebook or journal. Carrying one with you in your bag is possible because it doesn’t take up much space or weigh enough for you to notice it.

A travel notebook or journal serves as the ultimate souvenir. It’s a visual account of your adventures and one that no one else has in their possession. Your experiences are as unique as you. Keeping a travel journal is something that all great adventurers have done in the past, and this time, you’ll do the same. The few minutes you spend each day recounting your experiences is time well spent.
