LOVE AND TRIP!
I enjoy seeing other people’s TRAVELER’S notebooks. Often, they will be shy but proudly show me their notebooks, saying, “This one is like an alter ego of mine.” The texture of the leather cover, the charms on the elastic, the thickness, the cover of the refills, and the way of using the notebook are all different from person to person, even though they are the same notebook. However, what many TRAVELER’S notebooks have in common is that they are filled with the user’s favourite things and happy memories; a lot of love has been poured into them. So just by looking at the notebooks, I feel as if I can understand a little bit about the personality of the owner.
Albert Einstein said, “Nothing truly valuable arises from ambition or from a mere sense of duty; it stems rather from love and devotion towards men and towards objective things.” TRAVELER’S notebooks, which are filled with the deep love of the user and always used with care, shine like treasures. By showing such notebooks to each other, people who have met each other for the first time on a trip can talk and understand each other, transcending gender, age, and nationality. It may sound like a dream, but I fantasize that if more people traveled, talked about their favourite things with the people they met, and created warm and intimate connections with love all over the world then the world would be a more enjoyable and peaceful place than it is today.
We hope you have a nice trip with your TRAVELER’S notebook filled with your love!
