        With the pandemic somewhat tamed, traveling is becoming commonplace again. In this book on the the art of trip-focused journaling, prolific crafter-author Sy (Hand Lettering A to Z, 2017) guides readers in recording what happened where, the highlights and people, oh-so-important souvenirs, and other significant travel moments. This is less of a a how-to and more a why-not, as Sy explores materials (pens, notebooks, paints and brushes, paper, tape, et al.), the art of storytelling, and the embedding of ephemera such as maps and tickets, and shares the portfolios of more than ten talented travel journalists. While there are more robust instructional books available to guide readers in creative journaling, Sy's offers valuable tips and lessons about, for example, packing small art supplies to take with--a watercolor tin, ephemera envelopes, and the like.
