A List of Lists

This post is going to be a Mod Podge of many different things, but overall we will be focusing on lists, so get out a pencil and a piece of paper, or two, or three… Lists are always a great idea when going traveling because they keep you organized and prepared, plus they can be fun to draw too! Here are a few ideas on topics of lists to write about:

First of all, make a traveling bucket list to set your goals. Make it fun by drawing a cute title or design. Write down everything you want to do and places you want to go with boxes next to them. I really like to draw pictures next to each item on my list. It reminds me why I want to go and makes it really fun! It is also a great way to quickly visualize what you want to accomplish by just looking at the pictures rather than reading the text.

Here is an easy example:

Another type of list you might be using before traveling is a “What to pack list”. These lists are very important for remembering what to bring and making sure you don't forget anything. Although it is not always fun to write everything out and have to find everything, you will most definitely have a  better trip if you're not forgetting anything. Check the box after you packed the item, and keep the list so you can double check right before you leave.

And my favorite, a “What I enjoyed the most list”. This would be a list made after you return from vacation. Write down everything you really enjoyed and would love to do again. Then, you have a list forever that reminds you of things you want to repeat. Along the same lines is possibly writing a list of things you didn't like doing to make sure you don't do them again.

I hope some of my tips will help you in the future to better prepare for upcoming trips and record past experiences In addition to making your travel experiences more pleasant, organized, and methodical. I would love for you to comment if you have any other ideas for helpful lists having to do with traveling and your traveling bucket list ideas!
