What you need

One small story and a few honest materials.

  • One postcard, ticket or brief handwritten note
  • Vintage Travel Kit PDF
  • Travel Envelopes & Tabs printable sheet
  • Matte paper or light cardstock
  • Scissors and glue stick

Writing prompts

Give the page its voice.

  1. Who would you have written this postcard to?
  2. Which small detail makes the journey feel real again?
  3. What place and date should future-you be able to find at a glance?

Photo placement guide

Leave room for the part only you can add.

Use a 4 × 6 inch postcard, a postcard-size photo, or a folded note. Keep one side clear so the date and place remain easy to read.

Your print list

03

Date the journey

Fold one route tab over the page edge, then add the place and date on a small card or ticket.
