Travel Journal: Paris, London, Oslo 2018

- Journey with me through Paris, London and Oslo via my NKxPLO travel journals. It has a million pictures (a slight exaggeration), ticket stubs, foldout maps, receipts, tags and some special moments and notes I've included with captions.
As this a fairly long video, feel free to grab yourself a snack and switch to your fullscreen laptop or TV. And then just press play, kick back, and relax. (Want to watch the sped up version? It's on my IGTV at / cjakefwprv2 )
I put together my first travel journal back in 2002, of a month-long trip I took with some friends after I was done with my final ever submission at University. Back then, decoration was fairly minimal and pictures were printed at 4R size from actual negatives. Thankfully, the digital revolution swept us all up and now I can print several pictures within the 4R boundary.
While I did stop putting together travel journals for awhile (although I continued collecting several mementos for them), I re-started my travel journals in earnest after a 28-day trip through Japan in 2018, and since then I have been diligently putting my journals together in the Traveler's Notebook format. I am, admittedly, two plus years behind schedule, but part of the fun of traveling is reminiscing about it later.
These NKxPLO journals is my third from 2018, and perhaps I'll re-record my two other previous journals in a CZcams friendly format when I find myself with a bit of spare time... ha! In the mean time, feel free to check them out here ( / b7yytahpkxu ) and here ( / b8kvcsjps_c ) and do give me a follow on Instragram @nadiahkimie ( / nadiahkimie )
I hope you enjoyed this not so little video of mine. Thanks for watching!

What a great collection of travel journals. I really like how you incorporated photos as well as ephemera. I wouldn’t worry about being behind… I’m still working on documenting trips from 14 years ago! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you for commenting 🙂 It's good to know there are others like me who are still catching up on previous trips! I actually abandoned all plans for travel journals for trips before 2018, but if I ever, somehow, find myself up to date, I plan on tackling those too. I love taking pictures, and collecting random things, so everything needs to go into my trip journals!
Beautiful, inspiring and telaxing. Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you for this long, soothing, beautiful video. When I make my travel journal in Istanbul, I will definitely use some of your ideas. You inspire!
Thank you so much for watching! I am really glad you enjoyed it and found some ideas for your travel journal 😊
Hi Nadiah I love your travel journals they are so beautiful and interesting with all your pockets, flip ups, downs and outs and how you have used the rubber stamps, so beautiful. I also love your photography and I think I am learning from it, how your perspective includes a larger part of the floor when taking a front view and your side shots include long aspects of the buildings or walls etc. It gives your photos so much dimension. You have inspired me to put together a travel journal of my recent trip to Italy. Don't ask how much I've spent on rubber stamps!!!!! Thank you so much for your videos.
Thank you so much for watching my video and leaving such a great comment! I am truly happy that you got to learn something from my video, journals and even photos! I do love taking pictures of details which is why my travel journals are always so fat 😅 Oh yes, do journal your trip! It's such a great way to remember it. But don't stress yourself out too much as well, and just have fun with it!
Loved all the flip outs and pockets. Great ideas!
Thank you for watching! Flip outs and pockets are a great way to include lots of extra things in your journal, but they to make them really fat though 😄
Great collection dear!! ❤❤❤😍😍😍
Thank you so much!
Your travel journals are amazing and so inspiring! Love all the extensions, flip-outs and pockets❤
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you got some ideas for your own travel journals 😊
Your travels videos are the best. I enjoy your tip in! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I miss working on my travel journals. I hope life will allow me to get back to them soon.
A lovely collection of your trips. I really like how you fold the maps into the book and how you put in little inserts, the pictures look great. Thank you for sharing them and your journal
You’re most welcome! Thank you for watching my flip through, I’m glad you enjoyed my video and travel journals 😊
Very inspiring, thank you.
Thank you!

Thank you very much! I’m happy you enjoyed this ☺️
This video is so underrated. It’s gorgeous! I love it!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed my video and journals ☺️
Love how you added the maps. I was wondering how to incorporate a couple of maps into my first travellers journal. Yours are wonderful and you’ve given me so much inspiration, thank you.
You’re most welcome! I’m glad my video was able to help 🙂
It really did. Something clicked and I started working on mine yesterday and I managed to fit in 2 maps 😀 added Sprocket sized photos and I also have a few tickets to add. I’m feeling like I can actually achieve what I want now
That is awesome! I’m glad my video could help!
Lovely travel journals!
Thank you! 😊
Love it
Thank you!
They’re very visually pleasing. 🤩 New subscriber!
Thank you! And thank you for joining in the fun 😄
i really should learn English well! So I can say something more just than OMG! Amazing! I like your journal so so much! ! !
Hahahaha! I think you did perfectly fine 😃 Thank you so much!
Beautiful journals! I’m heading to Paris next year and want to take a journal with me. I have lots of inspiration from watching this video. Did you print any pictures on your trips or did you do it after you got back?
Thank you! Oh I print them when I get back - years after I get back, even 🤭 I’m often too busy just enjoying the trip and find myself with no time to journal most times!
Hi Nadiah, I looooove your style and your aesthetics in travel journals. Like someone had already stated before, I've laso spent a lot on rubber and silicone stamps, as you inspired me how to decorate the spreads. I am a fountain pen girl, could you recommend an ink that doesn't bleed in TN regular blank inserts? Another request is, could you make a video showing how you make all those pockets? Or if you've already done it, just direct me which video I should watch. I'm now watching your travel journals flip throughs and I must repeat it, they are amazing. 😍
Thank you so much for leaving me this lovely comment ☺️. Hmmm, the thing with TN inserts is that sometimes one ink will bleed through them and then the next time it won’t. I think there was a shoddy batch and so many of my pages had bleedthrough and I had to cover them up. It also depends on the pen - wetter and broader nibs are likely to bleed more. I know TN doesn’t love pigment inks very much though so stay away from them, but Iroshizuku, Diamine, Robert Oster, Jacques Herbin, have so far been ok. I hope that helps!
@@nadiahkimie Thank you 😘
@@angie_szy You're welcome!
Thanks for the video. I had a relaxing time watching it. What photo printer do you use?
You’re most welcome! I’m glad you got to relax a little watching it 😄 I actually send my photos to print at photobook.com as I haven’t found a small photo printer that prints on matte paper just yet, and I can’t afford to splurge on one of those super high quality photo printers, be it cash or space-wise!
I'm very much enjoying the look through your journals. How do you get the maps to fold so perfectly inside the journals? I have some from a recent trip and can't figure out if I need to refold them or what!
Thank you for watching my flip throughs! Oh 90% of the time I have to refold the maps as most of them tend to be too big. And I try to fold them such so that the page will close as evenly as possible instead of having one part bulkier than the other.
These are beautiful! Where did you buy the journals?
Thank you! These are Traveler’s Notebook inserts, and I got mine from all over the place, but they’re quite popular and should be available globally.
What printer do you use? Do you print photos during the travel or after?
I don't print the photos myself. I get them printed on photobook.com as they have the option of printing on fuji crystal archive matte paper, which I prefer over glossy photo paper. I only print the photos before I work on the travel journals, so a few years later typically 😁
What do you use to print the photos? 😅
I print my photos via photobook.com 🙂
Where can I grab those translucent envelopes ?
They came with some old stamps that I bought. Am not sure where you can buy more, although you can probably make them with some vellum or tracing paper.
