What I Bring in My Travel Stationery Kit - by Maria

When I’m heading off on a trip, there’s a special kind of joy in packing my little collection of stationery essentials. These aren’t just tools — they’re my companions for slowing down, capturing moments and making space for creativity wherever I go.

Here’s what I always bring with me on my travels:

My travel journal
This is where I gather my thoughts, planning my trip, saving places I want to visit, and little reflections along the way. It’s my quiet space to be present, to write without pressure, and to hold the stories of my journey.
Find the Travel Journal here.

A Open Flat dot grid notebook
I use my dot grid notebook as a little memory keeper, where I collect brochures, pictures, receipts, business cards, stickers — all the small treasures I gather along the way. The dot grid keeps everything feeling organized, while still giving me the freedom to be creative and playful with how I arrange it all.

A pair of scissors and glue
Small but mighty, these help me add snippets from the world around me — tickets, maps, or postcards — turning my journal into a tactile treasure.

Stickers
Because sometimes a simple sticker can brighten a page and bring a bit of playfulness to my notes.

Different pens
I love having a few pens in different colors and tip sizes. It makes writing or doodling more fun and helps me highlight moments that feel special.

Masking tape
A quick way to attach keepsakes or create borders, and it’s easy to remove without damaging my pages.

A clip and photo corners
To keep loose papers or photos safe and sound inside my journal, so they don’t get lost during the journey.

A trusty mesh pouch
To keep all these little treasures neatly together, I bring a lightweight mesh pouch. It’s perfect because I can quickly see what’s inside without digging around, and it keeps everything organized and easy to find — no matter where the adventure takes me.

For me, packing these little items is a way of bringing calm and creativity into the hustle of traveling. They remind me to pause, to notice the small details, and to hold onto the moments that make the trip uniquely mine.

With all my best for your next adventure,
Maria
