Eric Gauger, the creator of the fantastic travel website Notes from the Road, recently posted some scans of his Moleskine journals. The scans, found here, are fascinating. He uses his journals much as DaVinci did: to document and give voice to his curiosity. They are filled with bright drawings of the birds and plants he spots on his trip, maps, watercolor sketches of vistas he sees, and notes from interviews he conducts. Scribbled and painted into the pages of his journals is the essence of why many of us travel–the intoxicating vibrancy of felt experience.
Check them out if you have a moment and are looking for some inspiration.
I’m never showing anyone the crap I put in my Moleskine. It’s filled with a lot of whining and demotivational speeches.
