Travel Stationery

As you may already know, I’m a big fan of journalling - particularly while traveling. I’m also somewhat of a sucker for pretty stationery, so I picked some of my favorite travel-themed stationery items below. I’m a big fan of the foil personalized-spine notebooks at the end of this list. Imagine having a matching row of notebooks all labelled in order of trip you’ve taken! Maybe it’s just me but that level of organization would be a dream.
