  I always come back to the travelers. I’ve carried my passport as an everyday for 2 years straight and love it. I love everything nice and clean, but something about my travelers being all worn out, it brings me so much joy. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

  I agree with you about the TN. It is functional. You can have 3 notebooks and use them for different purposes, but they're all housed in one place. I love mine. Thanks much.😊

  I had many unsuccessful attempts at using the TN system but now I love it for journaling!

  It's the best notebook system for me. Tried many types & I settled on A6 notebooks for my Journal & Moleskin Pocket Cahiers for General Notes & To Do for  a number of years then I discovered TNs. I like that I can carry various notebooks in one cover. It's so convenient.

  Same here. <br>I tried many different systems and notebooks in the past 40 years but when I discovered TN, it felt right for the first time.<br>I love the idea of being with a journal all your life, it gets wrinkles, changes colour and feels just like us humans aging.<br>Love the flexibility of the inserts and I adore the cream MD paper and its perfect for fountain pens. <br>I only own one (Original Midori) and use it since 2007.

  While I love the whole concept of TN, I don&apos;t like the soft leather cover that scratches overtime (please don&apos;t come at me 😅)! My solution was to opt for a local business that makes &apos;&apos;vegan leather&apos;&apos; (aka plastic, let&apos;s be real here) covers for a fraction of the price (about 20$ each). From there I have built two regular sized notebooks, and one passport size. I use TN inserts along some I make myself with handmade paper, and other TN products and I am hyper satisfied! That&apos;s the beauty of this system; everything can be adapted to what YOU like! 😁

  I don’t have a TN yet and hoping to get soon. I liked the flexibility of the system. I can make inserts with fewer pages, 30 pages seem to be right for me. I can relate to the unfinished notebooks phenomenon 😂 and they are beautiful as they are.

  I love your videos and your voice 😊<br>I also have a bit of a collection and have been using the traveler&apos;s company system since around 2017 when the olive edition was released! I use them mostly for my stories since I make comics! It&apos;s one of the few things I am brand loyal to these days (which is saying a lot given the quality of a lot of things lately).<br><br> &nbsp;my kyoto one is strictly a memory keeper from my trip to Japan(hopefully there will be more and that will be the one i take with me again!). I got a love and trip though I just missed the window for paying less so you&apos;re right in that it was a pretty penny 😅 but I know I will love it and use it! <br><br> I was reevaluating my collection and I&apos;m right there with you; I just keep coming back! Thanks for making such helpful videos.

  Hi Phira! I stumbled on your video as I finally crossed that bridge and bought my first TN to separate and transition my work-related items out of my Hobonichi Cousin, which I now use for personal and creative journaling. You are soooo right—these modular systems are so easy to kick off whatever planning system I wanted to create and start with. I started with a monthly and weekly + memo refill for a week, then decided to build from there after a test run of several days. I realized I needed a notebook for note taking, and just like that, I added another grid notebook from my stash of refills (which I thankfully bought along with my TN starter kit). So far, I like the businesslike, no-nonsense use and feel of my TN compared to my Hobonichi, which feels more personal and lets me decorate when that creative itch hits.

  Agree, so many times I try to use one everything notebook, but it doesn’t work. You are so helpful❤

  It&apos;s too hard to say which is my favourite. If I had this collection, I would love all my children! I have TNs in both the orginal and the passport size. I could never get the original one to work for me - yet. I like that size because it will accommodate my trusty Reporter&apos;s Notebook. I just bought the passport size because I don&apos;t want to shlep my Hobonichi Cousin. I plan to make a bullet journal and have lists of medical providers, home services, and I don&apos;t know what else yet. I find it faster to write down someone&apos;s contact information and find it than to do it on my phone (with lots of typos). I just subscribed so I&apos;ll keep up with your journeys and get inspired!
