Introduction

I have been obsessed with travel journals for a while now. Today I am really excited to share my Sri Lanka Honeymoon travel journal with you. Here is the ready-made cover of the journal. It was a wedding gift from my cousins.

Items I used in this travel journal

In this travel journal, I used the following items:

  • Left over currency (LKR and coins)
  • Postal stamps
  • Sand from Unawatuna beach
  • Tickets
  • Receipts
  • Cinnamon leaves
  • Cinnamon tree bark
  • Pictures
  • Small mirrors
  • Cloth pieces
  • Pictures
  • Brochures
  • Day itinerary by tour guide
  • Maps
  • Luggage tags
  • Air tickets
  • Mobile sim
  • Clothes tags (shopped from there)
  • Post cards
  • Stickers
  • Tea bag
  • Sketches
  • Coasters from hotel
  • CD from temple of tooth relic
  • Printed tissue paper
  • Brown sugar packet
  • Butter seal
  • Sea Shells
  • Glitter
  • Public bathroom coupon
  • Hotel note pad page
  • Local mango juice logo
  • Mihin Lanka airline tooth picks
  • Hotel key card

Ideas for your travel journals

As you can see above, sky is really the limit when it comes to what you can use in scrapbooks or journals. There is no right or wrong in art anyway. Its your thing so you can do whatever you feel like.

The postal stamps I used in this journal were the duplicate stamps from the envelope which I exchanged with my Sri Lankan friend while I was there.

In my first travel journal on Europe, I wrote too much. In my second on Dubai, I wrote only in bullet points. In my Sri Lankan journal, I decided to keep it very simple and not write at all. So this one is all visual. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Replace one sugary drink — Coke, Red Bull, or a sports drink — with a green juice.
Just one.
Your body will feel the difference.

We were sold fake refreshment for years — Coke for thirst, Red Bull for energy, sports drinks for hydration.
But the real refreshment is leafy greens blended into a glass of green juice.

If you’re ready to switch from sugar to nourishment, reply ‘green juice’ and I’ll send you the article with my voicover.
Comment ‘YES’ & I will send you links to get this book I wrote with my 5yo beti Nyra 🥲A dream whispered at bedtime… now printed in pages.

📚✨Ideal for ages 1–8 this book tackles some of the most common daily challenges families face—from mealtime meltdowns & screen time battles to morning chaos & bedtime resistance. Each chapter addresses real-life “trigger points” with compassion & creativity, helping children build healthy habits while easing the stress for parents. Every page is packed with positive messages & practical wisdom.

Children will learn everything from getting ready in the morning to handling big feelings like anger & frustration. 😠This book makes everyday tasks like eating healthy foods, tidying up, & following safety rules feel like fun adventures! Kids will feel empowered to take on their day with confidence, kindness, & a big smile.

This book is a gentle guide to help kids grow into thoughtful, responsible, & happy little humans. 🙂They are gently guided through moments that often lead to conflict—with messages that say, “You’ve got this!”
