Original Travel Journal – Scratch Off World Map Diary – Beautiful Travel Décor - Scratch Poster Travelogue – Contains 8 Scratch Off Map Pages with Countries, Cities, & States – Great Travel Gift

Ordered this travel journal for a trip I was taking. I specifically ordered the blue, but red came! I didn't have time to contact the vendor before leaving on my trip, but upon my return I was in contact with the vendor, who explained that there was a mix-up with the ordering, they kindly (and quickly) sent a blue version to me. Very satisfied with the product. A nice compact journal, good for keeping notes on where I'd been and what I'd seen etc. The scratch off ended up being a little gimmicky. Wish the maps were a little larger. Overall, good travel journal.

Bought this for my girlfriend who loves to travel and goes on international trips at least twice a year. She absolutely loves this. The product arrived on time and we received exactly what we purchased on Amazon. The only thing we see that is an issue with this is the lack of pages to right notes. After one or two trips, you start to run out of notes/space to write your thoughts about the trip. Other than that, great product for people who love to travel.

I love this scratch book. I'm a traveler along with my friends and I love recording our memories together. I loved it so much that I ended up buying 5 books for my friends. Every place we visited we can scratch it off the map, write details of our adventures and post pictures. This is a perfect gift for those who love to travel.

I purchased this just to have the scratch-off maps because they were cheaper in this packet (at time of purchase) than purchasing them alone. I'm reasonably happy with the maps. They're tiny and the way they're divided up is a little awkward, but the scratch-off aspect works.I'm glad I wasn't buying it primarily for the journal, though. For something that comes with a full set of world maps, there isn't a lot of space to record one's travels (unless you don't have much to say!) The 4 or 5 pages for 'photos and mementos' are hilariously inadequate for even a day trip. The cover is heavy and stiff cardboard that is little too yielding to make a suitable writing surface, but stiff enough to be awkward to handle.The whole business comes in a cardboard case/folder which solves the writing surface issue; but the totality of journal cover and sleeve is heavy and unwieldy. It's hard to slip the book or the maps back into their pockets in the cover because of the thickness of the folded cardboard corners. I imagine there might be room for a few more journal pages if the maps and journal were all in one, rather than in a space-wasting slipcover.Finally, how much one likes the texture of this set depends on one's feelings toward books covered in paper grocery bags.

I gave this as a gift to my 18 year old stepson who will be taking his first trip abroad this spring. He loves it! It's a fun travel journal/planner and is of good quality. Being as it's made of cardboard, it is a bit stiff and somewhat difficult to get the maps back into the pocket but maybe it'll loosen up with use. I'm excited to see how he fills it in on his trip.

What a neat book! This is definitely for anyone who loves to travel. I love the scratch off maps to show how many places I've visited and it shows me exactly how many more places I need to go! Wonderful for yourself or as a gift for a traveler! I think it would also be great gift for a parent to give a child of all the places they've traveled to!

This was a really cool gift, but the description is somewhat misleading. I thought it would come with a blank journal for writing about your travel adventures, but it only comes with the booklet of 300 adventures and the scratch-off maps. There is no space in the booklet for your own notes.

Journal not at all what I expected.
