My favorite travel souvenir
Reader,
Do you take a lot of photos from your travels? Love looking back at the wonderful adventures you had?
Photos can be a great souvenir. I feel like I walk away from every trip with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of photos. We post them on social media and share them with our friends and family.
But once we get home those photos usually disappear into the cloud and stay on hard drives. Maybe we frame one or two, but the rest just disappear, rarely ever seen again.
Would you like a souvenir with a more long-lasting impact?
My favorite travel souvenirs are my journals. These journals contain all my thoughts and feelings, the names of people I met, the activities I did, and how I felt about them. They are raw, they are personal, and they are a trip down memory lane I don't have to find through folders and thousands of unnamed (and unsorted) images.
Years from now, time will fade the memories from your trip. That incredible meal you had, the hole-in-the-wall bar you found, the people you met at that train station, the festival you went to, and how it all made you feel. Your memory will get cloudy and events will mush together. It’s just how life goes.
But, if you write it all down in a journal, it will be there — pure and honest — for the rest of your life.
Journals are better than photos and it's why I created one just for travel.
And, right now, I'm doing an end-of-summer sale!
My Travel Journal comes with inspirational quotes to inspire you along the way and guided prompts so you remember all the key moments of your trips. These journals also use a thick cream stock and have a hard cover that makes them light but durable. Perfect for travel!
You’ll be able to look back and remember how you felt in the moment. You’ll be able to remember all the people you met and the things you did.
Writing down what I experienced on my trips has been an invaluable way to remember the moments that defined my life. And I am so thankful I did it because, years later, I found there's a lot I don't remember. With a journal, no memory is lost to time.
These journals are normally $24.99 but you can get them for 40% off with the code SUMMER.
Additionally, for any 2 journals you get, you can get the third one for just $10. (Plus, if you live in the US, you get free shipping too!)
So click here to get your journal today and start recording your trip so you can remember them for years to come. (Or get one of these journals for the traveler in your life. They'll love it!)
If you have any questions, hit reply and ask.
Sincerely,
Nomadic Matt

Reader, A few weeks ago, I came across a quote by Seneca that said "It's not that we have a short time to live but that we waste a lot of it." I can't stop thinking about it. As the month ends, I had hoped I would be further along in so many things — I'd be more in shape, eaten healthier, had sightseen more of the city, read more, or had done this or that. I'd thought I'd accomplish more. And, while I'd never call myself lazy, I'm pretty good at wasting time. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't...
Reader, Greetings from NYC! How are we already over 1/3rd of the way through September? Wasn't it just August last week? Lately, I feel like time is just flying by. Or is it just me? In two weeks I'm heading to Europe for a bit. This will be my first pure personal trip all year. A lot of my travels in the last couple of years have been work-related: tours, conferences, destination partnerships. Japan was supposed to be a fun personal trip but then I got sick so I spent most of my trip in a...
