Since launching our Inspiring Travel Journals Competition with our friends at Roundtheworldflights we’ve had some exciting bids for the $1,000 prize.
We’re looking for journals which capture the raw, unplugged essence of the travel experience rather than lucid prose. So far we’ve not been disappointed - many of the entrants pass our critical test - does it make us want to just pack and go?
Here we present some of the most popular entries so far, along with some of our favourite moments from each journal which capture the pure experience of travel. – Got experiences to share? Sign-up (free of charge) for our competition now!

Our favourite quote:

Make sure you check out the journey to see the best parts of Nepal also!

Australia
A great journey around the East and West coasts of Australia. We couldn’t stop clicking..
Our favourite quotes which sum up the highs and lows of travel:
Crappiest hostel ever. Even the woolshed couldn’t raise my spirits. I’ve almost come to the end of the line.
and
Getting back from an amazing adventure! I’d like to refer to it as the best time of my life!

One and a half weeks in India
India never fails to disappoint in the travel experience department.
The best description of the Taj Mahal so far (and so true):
The name conjures up beauty and romance. The grandest tomb ever built its the essense of India.
Although the town is total crap, the Taj is every thing that you have heard.
I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

St Helena and the Ascension Islands
Cast in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, the Ascension Islands are not an obvious travel destination – which is one of the reasons we enjoyed following this trip:
Our favourite description:
Our flight was stunning, the safety instructions bizarre. This is the door handle, it opens like this. This is a vomit bag. Here are some ear plugs it gets quite loud.
