My travel stationery must-haves




So you are going on a trip. But you have no idea what to bring to journal it. 

As delightful as it is to end up bringing everything + the kitchen sink, one must consider their luggage limitations (how is one supposed to go shopping freely if they bring too much XD~)

I went on a two week trip to LA recently and here's what I brought with me :



[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="748.0"] Brush pens - makes my chicken scratch look fancy right away  Copic pens - waterproof and dries fast. Great for drawing too.  Pencil with eraser attached on one end - for notes, drawing etc  Coloured markers - for colouring  Frixion ball point pen - i use this to sketch so i do not have to deal with erasing the lines later. Since it disappears on contact with heat, a hairdryer will remove all traces immediately and without any effort.  Side note: I also decided that I would journal everything on this particular trip in a certain colour scheme [browns, blues hence the colours you see chosen Brush pens - makes my chicken scratch look fancy right away Copic pens - waterproof and dries fast.

Pens aside, here are a few other things to consider...



[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="748.0"] Masking tape - for decoration and that emergency wrapping job you need to do (eg fragile items you bought on the trip)  Bullclip - more useful than you think. (i even used it to hold my curtains shut in the hotel XD)  Paperclips - one of them was sacrificed so that i could remove the sim card in my phone   Coffee stamp - a gift from the Tea Drinker  White out - for the mistakes i inevitably make  Tenori glue - perfect for sticking receipts what not into my travel journal  Travel journal - well that's obvious xD~ Masking tape - for decoration and that emergency wrapping job you need to do (eg fragile items you bought on the trip) Bullclip - more useful than you think.
