We’ve loved our family holidays to Bali. My son is now eight years old, I have been trying to encourage him to write a travel journal. Though for him, after the first day away the thought of sitting down to write for half an hour about what he has seen and experienced is just too much. After all the resort pool is beckoning.
However, completing activity books whilst sitting in restaurants is another thing. So, I was quite excited to discover a new series of travel journals for kids, My Awesome Adventure Travel Journals. Currently, there are two available. The My Awesome Bali Adventure and the My Awesome Sydney Adventure.

The My Awesome Adventure Travel Journals
Eliza McCann wrote the first Awesome Adventure Journal when she was living in Bali with two young children. She noticed so many kids on a family holiday to Bali staring into an iPad. We’ve all been guilty of using electronics to help keep the peace as trying to ask your young primary school child to write a tradition travel journal often results in many refusals.
However, it’s nice for kids to have a hard copy source of travel memories. The Awesome Adventure Travel Journals offer a fun way to record what they discover in the world around them. They can complete details about their flights, getting to their hotel, describe different sights, sounds, and smells. They can tick off various animals that they encounter and food that they taste.
Yet the spiral bound travel journal is not just about filling in the blanks. There are maps, word sleuths, mazes, crosswords, de-coding, colouring and pictures to draw on the art quality paper that prevents felt pens from bleeding through the paper.
If at the end you are struggling to complete the questions, the answers are at the back of the book.
What I like is although author Eliza McCann created these books primarily as a kids travel journal to be used on a family holiday to Sydney or Bali, is that they can also be used as a fun educational activity book for the school holidays.

This looks great for kids! I think they would find it both fun and educational. Plus, it would be fun to look back at when they get older.
That’s what I really like about them as well Anisa.
Have to admit, sometimes we grownups could use something like this to get us to sit down and focus on writing for a little bit each day! Brilliant idea, and a fantastic way to get the kids to do something they will enjoy years later. #TheWeeklyPostcard
Yes it makes a great little keepsake for their holiday Ron and Ann.
These are awesome, Sally-Ann! I wish I had one as a kid! It’s such a shame parents just had over the iPad to their children to keep them quiet instead of doing something productive! I started scrapbooking my travels at 14 and now I have a ton of beautiful books! These days, I do it all electronically though! #TheWeeklyPostcard
They are really cool books Lolo. As a parent, I like to have a range of activities for my son to access during down times on our holidays. Yes, the iPad is one option but I also encourage educational books, colouring, word sleuths, and a bit of Lego when we are in our hotel room.
What a wonderful product for kids, I hope she ends up doing more locations!
So do I Jess
