Today’s favorite travel item is the Moleskine Pocket Journal, recommended by Ben Polansky, co-founder of Matador. Ben carries one of these around everyday, but finds them really useful when traveling.
This hard cover, pocket-sized book is a genuine Moleskine. It was developed by a small French bookbinder and was made available at many stationery stops in Paris for over 100 years. Very popular with artisans, travelers, and literary types of that time – Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, just to name a few – today, the Moleskine enjoys the same preference amongst avid travelers and writers.

The moleskine in the photo I find unwieldy: hard covers, thick. For the same price, you can get three of the thinner Cahier notebooks, which mold right into your back pocket, great for traveling. ” target=”_blank”>http://www.moleskines.com/moleskine-cahier-journa...

yeah the Cahier are a little easier to carry, but tend to get beat up with the soft cover. I've used both depending on the circumstance. Thanks for the suggestion!

The Cahier notebook ends the trip like you, visibly travelworn, giving each one its own distinctive character. And they are sturdy enough to survive most circumstances, and because they contain less pages, you have the satisfaction of actually filling them up with your scribbling.

I'm a huge fan of the Moleskine notebooks– and there are tons of different sizes available, too–and I never leave home without one. The pages are durable, most of the Moleskines have at least one pocket for stuffing tickets, etc., and a good Sharpie marker will help you record and keep almost any memory inscribed on its pages.
