For people who want to write about their own travels in a lovely journal filled with inspiring quoted passages collected from the various books of travel writer and memoirist Frances Mayes.

During her first summer in Tuscany, Frances Mayes started a journal. She filled its pages with descriptions of trees, buildings, the people she met, and how she spent her days, as well as filling it with postcards, menus, maps, pressed flowers, and other tokens of her experiences. That journal ultimately became Under the Tuscan Sun, "a natural outgrowth of [her] first pleasures there." This travel journal will inspire people to tell the story of their own journeys no matter the destination. Including luscious descriptions of Frances's own trips to places such as Tuscany, Greece, Morocco, Spain, Turkey, and more, the journal also features plenty of tantalizing quotes about the freedom, passion, and romance that makes travel so appealing. Perfect for describing the details of your trip--the places you visited, the foods you ate, the people you met, the landscape, the buildings, the aromas, etc.--this journal includes a pocket in the back for storing postcards, maps, brochures, menus, and other ephemera you collect along the way.
