In 2017, I went on a life changing motorcycle adventure with 3 of my closest friends across America — from Atlanta all the way to San Francisco taking the northern route, and back through the mid/south route. This was a month long adventure that comprised of incredible new experiences, connections and life lesson in over 40 states. Our goal of the trip was simple, be mindful of our experiences and learn what it’s like to let go — live in the moment.
This was partly achieved by one of our friend’s suggestion to take journey logs of our mental and physical state everyday. We wrote about the places we went, the things we were frustrated with, the things and places we looked forward to, and any thing that was on our heart in that moment after our long ride to every destination.

I think this is where it first started. This idea of a thing that travelled with you and aged with you as you kept track of your metal and physical state. I’ve personally never been good at keeping journals, and I still struggle to write today, but it inspired me to create a thing that those who do go on a journey can take with them. A companion that also aged and scars as you move.

It’s designed with portability and usability in mind, utilising the Moleskine’s strap to keep the book closed when not in use, and fitting in most male pockets. ~Someone needs to re-design female pants~ The point is that it’s small enough to take to your meetings, coffee shops, road trips and not become a pain in the a** to carry around. I recently took it on my moto-roadtrip to Colorado, and it sat comfortably in my side pocket. 🤟🏼
