travel diary

Voyage written record

A travel diary is a journal kept during a journey, recording experiences, observations, and reflections from the trip.

Unlike a simple itinerary, it captures personal impressions—meals eaten, people met, mishaps endured: I kept a travel diary during my month in Southeast Asia.

Travel diaries may include sketches, ticket stubs, or pressed flowers alongside written entries.
