I have to admit something: I am an adamant¹ journaler. Not only is it therapeutic² for me, but it's also a great way to look back and see how much I've learned, grown, and evolved over the years. Eventually I realized I could continue this love of journaling when I traveled.

我要坦白一件事：我是写日记专业户。写日记对我不仅有治愈作用，也是一个很好的回顾方式，能知道我这些年学了多少、成长了多少、进步了多少。最终，我发现可以在旅行期间继续写日记。

Travel journaling began for me in 2009, when I went to Europe for the first time. So here's how it works: you take what you find (listed below) and literally³ GLUE it into your journal as you go, and then write about the events of the day around the items. Yes, it's that easy! Here is how your journal may look:

我的旅行日志开始于2009年，当时我第一次去欧洲。它是这么一回事：我在旅行中把找到的东西直接贴在日记本上（后文有内容清单），然后，在贴的东西旁边写下当天发生的事。对，就这么简单！下图就是日记本的样子：

What to add to your travel journal:

旅行日志里要贴的东西如下：

Plane tickets

机票

Event entry tickets

演出门票

Train and bus tickets

火车票和汽车票

Business cards of people or places

人或景点的名片

Food and souvenir receipts

食物和纪念品的发票

Visa documents

签证文件

Postcards you purchase along the way to remember a specific location

为了记住特殊地点而在途中购买的明信片

Anything and everything that can be glued on paper!

所有一切能贴到纸上的东西！

It may sound daunting⁴, but taking time out of your trip to sit down at a cafe, glue stick, pen and journal in hand, with a cup of coffee (or glass of wine), is not as time-consuming as you may think. Most people respect the quiet time you're having.

着听起来似乎挺麻烦。不过，在旅行中悠闲地找个咖啡馆坐下来，手里拿着胶棒、笔和日记本，品着一杯咖啡（或红酒），其实没你想得那么费时间，很多人都会羡慕你的悠闲。

And I promise, you will love looking back on your journal years later to remember the feeling you had when purchasing that meal, taking that tour, or visiting that historic site. It really is magical. I consider my journals some of my most priceless possessions. Now remember to grab that glue stick before you go!

而且我能保证，几年之后，当你用它来回忆你吃饭、旅行或参观那个历史景点的感受时，你会爱上这种翻看日志的感觉，这种感觉真的很有魔力，我觉着日记本是我最宝贵的财富。所以，出发前记得带上一支胶棒吧！
