Travel journals: A snapshot in time

Explicit content warning

03/09/21 • 59 min

You don't see travellers writing in travel journals (or postcards!) too often these days; they've likely been replaced with a smug Instagram post or a braggy Facebook status. But this week, we dig up a first time traveller's travel journal from the 2000s and we’re rewarded with some nostalgic throwbacks.
Plus, Charlie opens up her journal once again for another travel romance!
