It's a lot of fun writing in this thing and makes you that much more excited to travel or just plan your travel actually. You can start with no destination in mind and read the little blurbs about promising itineraries...practically speaking it very functional too. Rubber cover (great for the surf splash, spilled coffee, wine at the cafe), plastic pockets on front and back cover to hold receipts, & all those little pieces of paper you collect as memorabilia, and the content: list of what to bring --I scribble and edit all over this page because I hate to forget anything, yet I'm a one suitcase girl...) Address pages, contact pages so I don't forget phone numbers and I also keep my credit card numbers passport numbers in this journal (I write it in code for would be identity theives, however). BEST of ALL, the budget page. I can easily calculate my per diem and track my spending. I pack a lot into my vacations and I am always under or right on budget, very important for single female traveler. There are at least 100 pages, plenty blank space to write your thoughts during an extended trip. There's a elastic band to hold the whole shebang together. I like that I can keep everything in one place with this book: budget info, train/bus/air tickets, journal section, memorabilia. The profile is small, thin enough to fit into an inside pocket. I find myself going through my old Abroad journals and reliving my vacation. For modern nomads like me, This journal helps me enjoy my precious time off and get me geeked for my next vacation.
