It’s been more than a year since I’ve scribbled down the first note in a crowded airport in South Korea; I sat on one of those uncomfortable airport benches and just listened to that specific moment in my journey.
I arrived in Malaysia and listened again. Then came to Nepal, South Africa, Thailand and a few more countries. I listened, and I scribbled; from one spot to another destination, from one minute to the next moment.
Scribbling the notes has taught me to be still, to listen, to quiet my mind, to tune in to all my senses, to appreciate the moment and to just let my surroundings be the voice for the ink in my pen.

At least your scribbles look better than mine. No one could read my Travel Notes, so I had to tidy them up and type them out. Great idea to combine your notes with the location, or did you add them in later?

Michel, it takes a lot of effort to write neat...I usually don't understand my own handwriting :) All the notes were taking at the location and shared in real time (signal/wi-fi permitting).

such a great idea. i usually make captions for my pics when i get home but sometimes i forget the feeling & idea at that time i took it.

Same thing happens to me as well! What you feel in that specific moment won't be the same a week later when you look at the photo.
