The Road Trip/Vandwelling/SUV / / Journal

This printable journal was created out of my desire to keep better track of my on-the-road adventures. Print the necessary quantities of the pages you need, punch holes in them, and stick them in a three- ring binder. Take the binder with you on your trips and jot down the relevant information as desired.

After each page in the journal is an example page to help you better understand what each feld is for. These pages do not need to be printed.

In addition to the pages here, I also recommend printing a single-page year-at-a-glance calendar from http://print-a-calendar.com/calendar.

Have fun! Tristan from SUVRVing.com © SUVRVing.com
