What if your travel memories had a place in a real journal? 🌍

Back-to-school season is when we get back into our routines, but it’s also a time to reflect on the great summer memories. We often promise ourselves we’ll organize our photos, jot down our stories... and then life gets busy. Memories slowly fade, stuck on our phones...

That’s where MyAtlas travel journals come in. They let you gather your stories, images, and emotions in a beautiful keepsake you can hold onto and share. It’s like a personal diary, but illustrated by your travels.

Creating your journal also extends the travel experience: reliving your photos, rediscovering forgotten details, and bringing those moments back to life.

This journal recounts a trip to Rajasthan that’s already over a year old and that I’m only now getting around to writing up. The summer of 2024 marked my return to India—my tenth trip—after six long years away since my last solo wanderings in Tamil Nadu back in 2018 (the journal for which is published on this site).

A travel journal, it's been a while!

I have to say, my personal situation has "a little" changed since my last journals (my 3 kids are grown up + a divorce finalized in early 2021). So, no more long-haul family destinations—now I’m focusing on multi-day hikes for my vacations. I found a hiking buddy in 2021 to join me on the Laugavegur trek in Iceland, but this year, 2022, no one’s available.

Since no travel journal has been posted about this destination since 2020, I’m giving it a go—maybe it’ll jog some memories for a few or give others some ideas.

Voilà un « petit » carnet de voyage (mon premier sur le forum) de mon voyage au Caire. Si jamais ça peut aider certains a organiser leur séjour là bas.

Ce carnet aborde principalement le souvenir d'une échappée le long d'une « route » hors des sentiers battus, dans le nord de l'île. Une région bien moins fréquentée et donc moins connue que les très courus sites balnéaires de cette grande île tropicale.

Hi there,

First attempt at a travel journal for me and first post after 7 years away from this forum. 😮 I went to La Palma island for 15 days in September 2025. After visiting Lanzarote in February, I was looking for a different and greener island. Well, I wasn’t disappointed. 😎

I’m kicking off my first travel journal since VF reopened!

This will mostly be to share my impressions and a few photos, with a bit of a delay, but I’m starting this journal while I’m still here.

A big thank you to those who helped me plan this trip!

I was able to organize this trip to one of the most expensive countries in the world thanks to the home-exchange principle. Not necessarily a direct swap, but through a points system, which is more flexible for choosing where you want to go without it having to be a reciprocal exchange.

Okay, I'm diving into this Hawaiian travel journal! I hope lots of you will follow along because the destination is full of charm. 🙂

Let’s catch up with a new travel journal from July 2024—only 6 months late, no biggie!

We’ll chat about this gorgeous island, its tail, animals (old habits die hard), and the fun we had 🙂

After a few requests like "are you going to write a travel journal" and especially the renewed pleasure from reading other travelers' travel journals about Japan or elsewhere on this forum or others, I've decided to share my 4th installment in the Land of the Rising Sun here.

As mentioned in the title, a travel journal focused on St. Lucia and iSimangaliso ("this place is miraculous" = Zulu translation) over various stays spanning about twenty years.

Back in the "travel journal" section to share our 15-day discovery of Kenya in November 2024. It was pretty much our first time in East Africa (since Zanzibar doesn’t really count 😅).

Hey fellow travelers,

This isn’t meant to be a full-on travel journal—just a little springtime dip into the Moroccan coast (and maybe a bit more if we hit it off). For our 3rd trip to this country, we set off for 8 days in early June 2025, confident we’d be greeted by non-stop sunshine...

I’m adding my small contribution to the reopening celebration by posting this travel journal from India, which we did in January 2024. There were four of us—two couples—and we spent three weeks looping through Rajasthan, stopping in Delhi and Agra (which, as everyone knows, aren’t actually in Rajasthan).

Je suis heureux de vous accueillir à bord de ce nouveau carnet de voyage. Ce voyage est à 1000 lieux de ce qui était prévu à la base pour cette année. Notre besoin de grands espaces vierges nous avait poussés à réserver le Wyoming. La Suède nous offrira-t-elle la même chose?

Over-the-top skyscrapers? You’ll get the idea when you see the photo illustrating this travel journal—though it might change as the trip goes on.

The sheer number of markets is what makes them larger-than-life, not necessarily their size (though Chatuchak is a beast!). Day markets, night markets, floating markets, fresh produce markets, fish markets, meat markets, spice markets, fabric markets… and even amulet markets. For luck, good fortune, protection.

So, on these rainy days, I’m starting to write a little travel journal about the Drakensberg. The Dragon Mountains, uKhahlamba in Zulu and Maluti in Sotho or Tswana...

It’s time to catch up with the VF buddies and wish you all my best for 2026—a year I obviously hope will be full of travel for you, since, as the saying I just made up goes: "If travel’s good, everything’s good" 😄.

So to celebrate, I’m inviting you to my new "travel journal," the one from our last trip in November 2025, which lasted a couple of weeks.

The cocktail recipe: endless beaches, a dazzling palette of colors, some breathtaking hikes, and excellent cuisine...

For the tasting, follow along in the pages of this travel journal! 😉

New life downloading in progress for three weeks! And for that, Flo and I launched a public tender... A public tender? What's the connection with a travel journal?

A server walks down the central aisle offering crepes for sale, which I suspect are filled with ground beef. I'm in Central Asia, in Uzbekistan, somewhere between Bukhara and Samarkand.

I chose the title "notes"—random notes, drafts, I'm not quite sure what I'll write, but it's certain this won't be a linear travel journal.

Hi everyone,

There aren’t many recent trip reports about Norway in winter, and since I had trouble finding info on winter hikes, I thought I’d share a little travel journal.

I remember that before leaving, I was a bit afraid I wouldn’t feel that same sense of wonder I had 2 years earlier in Botswana (see my travel journal). That fear was unfounded... the magic worked its charm once again!

Bonjour! Je vous propose une balade en dessins, complètement subjective, absolument non exhaustive, et totalement personnelle, puisque basée sur mes dessins. J'ai réalisé ce carnet de route après mon retour fin 2024, essentiellement au stylo feutre et au crayon, avec aussi quelques collages.

Carnets de route d'un sexagénaire à vélo... Surprises, galères et émotions. Un voyage contrasté sur le continent des contrastes. Partir en solo à vélo sans date de retour, un rêve que je caressais depuis longtemps et que la retraite me permet de réaliser tant que la forme physique est là.

So I’m gonna try to pick up posting travel journals again, starting with destinations where there aren’t many recent stories. I’ll kick things off with our 2-week trip exploring the western part of Cuba. Our itinerary, covered in a 1954 classic American car with our driver Yoan, who spoke excellent French.

Before I begin, I’d like to thank Michèle Buisson and her “Misha’s travel journals,” which really helped me plan this trip. It’s tough to find information about this part of India—it’s so different from the “more traditional India.”
