Different media, but I always bring a notebook with me when I travel. I’m away fro a weekend right now and even brought a chapter I’m currently editing because who knows when I’ll have time to work on it or what inspiration will strike!

It’s always good to be prepared, isn’t it? Vacations can often provide interesting sparks of inspiration!

I have a tiny dry-media (graphite) travel sketchbook, but I always forget it. I'm not ready to give up yet, but what has worked much better in the past is to carry my actual current sketchbook, and just grab 1-3 pens/pencils/pastels on my way out the door. I never forgot to do that.

That’s a great way to go about it too. I imagine it’s somewhat easier with dry media to grab a handful of supplies and go. And sketching on the go/on location never fails to throw up interesting motifs and inspiration.

It was so wonderful to see you putting together your art kit, Shinj. I carry a notebook with me when I travel. It feels incomplete without having my notebook and pen.

I would love to see your journaling kit as well.

Enjoy your time with the family! Happy and safe travels! 🤍
