Any tips on how to decorate my travel journal, its going to be in Thailand, and any tips on how to write it?

Also any tips on how to write travel journal but make it interesting and creative, not too much writing but detailed. Also if I want to put some picture in should I just write in the page and then save some space for when I come back to England then print out the picture and stick it in??

The purpose of the journal will tell you what/how to write in it. If the purpose is to describe your trip for someone else, you’ll need more detail. If the purpose is to serve as a memory reserve for you, snippets, phrases, or just words will do to remind you of the experience. I do think it is important to write in it everyday, at least one sentence, that summarizes what activities you did that day. If you are moved to add more detail, then you can. If you are going to stick stuff in while traveling, you’ll need an adhesive. An alternative is to could get some manila envelopes (or interoffice envelopes with the little strings that keep them closed) bound together (they can spiral bind them) at your local copy store, put stuff in the envelopes every day and write on the outside. Then when you get home if you want to re-do the journal, you have the raw materials. I suggest saving all kinds of ephemera–ticket stubs, napkins from restaurants, business cards, schedules, brochures, paper place-mats, newspaper pages, etc. You can always throw stuff out. This looked like a good website:
