A memorable trip with TRAVELER’S notebook – TRAVELER’S SPIRIT Contest

This year commemorates the 20^th anniversary of TRAVELER’S notebook and all the memories people experienced with their notebook on a trip. We have the spirit to set foot in places that have never been explored before. We travel freely wherever the wind blows and wherever our fancy takes us. We savor the world with all our senses, sometimes filled with joy, sometimes with sorrow. We go on trusting such emotional swings and the intuition that comes to our hearts.

This year, we are interested in seeing how TRAVELER’S notebook users document things they see, special experiences, or memorable stories in their TRAVELER’S notebook, inspired by all the motifs and manifestos of TRAVELER’S SPIRIT. TRAVELER’S COMPANY USA will be hosting a TRAVELER’S notebook contest in the United States with the theme of TRAVELER’S SPIRIT

Please share with us a trip inspired by TRAVELER’S SPIRIT. It can be a visit to a new café, a memorable find at a record store, or a particularly tasty dish that’s local to the region. You can also write about interesting things you saw while traveling, a cherished note or letter to a loved one, or even documentation of the transportation you took on the journey. 7 winners will be selected to receive the special edition TRAVELER’S notebook TRAVELER’S SPIRIT as the main prize. 25 runner-up winners will win special TRAVELER’S notebook refills TRAVELER’S SPIRIT. A selection of the winning submitted photos will be shared on the TRAVELER’S COMPANY USA blog.

We look forward to seeing your submissions!
