Travel Journaling Prompts – to use when writing postcard journal entries.
20 travel journaling prompts that you can use. You don’t have to travel overseas or interstate. You might be happy to catch a bus or train or simply drive to a nearby town or city and write postcards to store in sleeves in your journal.

As homework, I ask members of my face to face class to keep a postcard journal for a week. They can source postcards or buy a special travel journal to keep in their creative medicine bags ready for when they take a trip or go on a mystery tour.
Sukie and Etsy have a wonderful collection to choose from. I bought my Sukie journal when I was in Berlin a few years ago.
