A5 travel journal inserts to keep every day of your trip

This A5 travel journal is a set of 26 undated insert pages for A5 or Half Letter ring binders and discbound planners, created for travelers who want to bring home more than photos. The pages open as two-page spreads, and besides the A5 and Half Letter PDFs you get print-and-cut versions for A4 and Letter paper with two pages per sheet.

It comes as an instant PDF download, with nothing shipped, so you can print a set before you pack.

How the A5 travel journal turns a trip into a keepsake

Open each journey with the overview spread: the destination, your dates, your travel companions and the things you are longing to see. After that, every day away gets its own spread for highlights, the standout moment, new foods, people you met and space to stick in a photo or a ticket stub. On packed days, the shorter quick travel day pages are enough.

The details that vanish first are covered as well, with a food log, favorite places, new words and phrases, travel firsts and an expense log spread over two pages. Once you are home, the trip summary, best moments and map spread pull your notes together into something worth rereading. Because the inner margin of 14 mm swaps sides from one page to the next, double-sided prints line up as true spreads.

Who will treasure this travel diary

• Anyone with an A5 6-ring, Half Letter or junior discbound planner looking for travel pages that fit
• Honeymooners, couples and friends traveling together on a girls' trip who want one keepsake of the journey
• Solo travelers, backpackers and study abroad students who write a little each day on the road
• Families on vacation who want to capture meals, favorite spots and funny moments while they are still fresh

Design and printing details

• Elegant, minimal white pages with soft blush pink details that need very little ink
• Wide margins on all pages, so nothing gets clipped by a home printer
• Portrait pages in A5 (148 x 210 mm) and Half Letter (5.5 x 8.5 in), plus print-and-cut sheets for A4 or US Letter paper
• Undated, so you can print a new set for each trip, with a daily spread for every day you are away
• Mirrored margins: the 14 mm binding edge sits left on odd pages and right on even ones, while the outside edge gets 8 mm
• Lines spaced 6.5 mm or more and text never below 8.5 pt, comfortable to fill in on a small page
• A dashed center line and cut ticks on each print-and-cut sheet, so one cut gives you two pages
• Ready for a binder or clipboard, or take it to a print shop for spiral binding
