Travel Journal: Italy

I’ve been editing a travel journal from a trip to Italy I took back in October 2023. For different reasons, I’ve kept putting it off—but now I’m finally determined to finish it. I’d love to eventually publish it, either as a digital or analog zine. One of the main things that always blocks me from completing a project is working with color. It’s something I tend to overthink, and instead of facing that challenge, I often end up abandoning the whole thing. This time, I really want to push through.

Every time I travel, I feel instantly inspired by the new things around me. I often try to recreate that feeling in my own city—which is, in itself, incredibly beautiful and full of life—but it’s not always easy to see Barcelona with tourist eyes after living here for six years (except for a brief period when I lived in Sweden, but I’ll share more about that in another post). I’ve come to realize that an illustrated journal can express experiences in a much more universal way, beyond words and language.
