From the Author

I wrote this book because my best friend went on a whistle-stop 10 day, 4 country tour of the Far East. The thought of all that travel, all those incredible sights and sounds was mind-boggling! I haven't been on holiday for, like, ages and I started thinking about the kind of memories and experiences I'd want to take from such an exciting trip. I've been practicing meditation and mindfulness in my life for the past 16 years, so as this is my mindset I figured a mindful travel journal was the most obvious basis for this book.

I was really struck by the idea of saving a moment, a memory and pinning it on a page. So that was the basic idea for the book. I made a list of all the different types of experiences you have on holiday and developed it from there.

As the theme of mindfulness is central to the book, it was very important that book 'walks the walk'...so I contacted Neil Kerfoot at the charity Village by Village to see if we could work with them. They were more than happy to partner with us and "You are here - a mindful travel journal" supports the Clean Hands Saves Lives project. For me, this made beautiful sense; such a simple idea of washing your hands is a good fit for the simple mindfulness practice of simply breathing. I'm honoured and delighted to be working with Village by Village - they do amazing work with remote villages in Ghana. They build wells, schools, clinics, sanitation facilities and genuinely make a massive different to the lives of the Ghanian villagers.

10% of the profits of this book go to Village by Village.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps put the anxiety behind you!

I've suffered from depression on and off for a long time and have come a long way in the last 6 months when I started therapy for some recent issues. I also get some secondary anxiety and indecision issues to go along with it. I'm planning a road trip all across the united states to last a couple months for this coming summer and bought this journal as a travel companion to help me guide myself. I cracked it open a few weeks ago while I'm still in the planning phase and it is perfect! Lots of space for doodling, thought logging, guided mindfulness exercises, beginners meditation walkthroughs, areas to help you prep for your trip where you can stick ticket stubs, write contact numbers, etc. And all this stuff is prompted for you. I mean this thing is beyond perfect. Got me started on some meditation exercises and has really helped me maintain a calm demeanor. I'm so excited to fill it up when I'm traveling.

I gave my sister this gift for her study abroad experience in Italy and she absolutely loved it! She wrote in it every day and it made wonderful memories for her! Many of the prompts in the book help you get started with your writing! Asking about what you see, hear, smell, taste, etc. Very cool!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not appropriate for children
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2016

I ordered this journal for an 11y/o girl and liked it okay, but didn't feel like it was appropriate for her age. It is more geared toward adults as there is some more mature content in the form of humor. For example, one of the statements said something like "if you wake up drunk in a jail cell wearing a clown costume that smells like ponies, that is your business." There was another comment about self-flaggelation and that if you pack an instrument of self-flaggelation in your luggage, that is your business. If you don't mind these types of comments, it is a neat little journal and is thought provoking - encourages you to really be in the present moment and appreciate it and reflect upon it. Gives plenty of space to write and add drawings or doodles. Most of the pages are unlined, so give you freedom to be a little more creative.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sooooo much more fun than a regular travel journal.
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2017

I am a very frequent cruiser with almost 300 days in three years. How many ports and sea days have I breezed through going through the motions of regular travel, although fun, but some of those memories were lost due to not being "present". This is such a unique way to remind you to be in the moment of your vacation. I'm not one for looking for the "spiritual" side of travel but I took a chance on purchasing this book. It was so much more fun than a record of your daily trip activities and I'm going to get another one when I go on my next adventure. I wish that they offered this book in a spiral bound version also so it would lay flat. It was harder to use because it kept wanting to close when I was doing my "artsy" thing. Buy it, you'll like it.

It's a cute journal but has way to many things that I didn't need. It gives you prompts for things to write but it seemed almost childish. Very flimsy cover.

I bought this for my friend who is a missionary to another country. It’s such a cute book! There’s tons of fun questions about where you have traveled. It’s not all writing, some of it has drawing aspects to it which keeps the journaling fun an exciting.

This book is super cute. I plan to use it when my husband and I and go on vacation to the Bahamas. we will be in the airport for several hours flying to Florida. Although I do not want to ruin the entire book for myself, I did read a couple pages. The ones that I read were adorable and for the lack of a better term very mind opening? The book kind of points out things that you should look at differently or to pay more attention to you and I really enjoyed that. I cannot wait to use this book and documents my vacation with my husband and have something to look at a few years down the road and really remember what happened

I gave this travel journal to my cousin who is going to study abroad in Australia for six months, and it has excellent prompts. I wish I had had this journal when I studied abroad - hopefully she uses it and cherishes it!

The size is small so it shouldn't be a burden to carry around, and it seemed durable so it should last her entire trip.

This book is not blank, but divided into sections, asking questions and inspires you to write about different experiences (sights, smells, sounds... ) I find these a lot easier than just to fill in blank pages. The cover feels weird and sticky. Would buy this again for another trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really good idea...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 12, 2014

We’ve all stared at maps. We’ve all found the little ‘you are here’ logo and thought ‘yes I know I am... but where am I?’

Well this ‘You Are Here’ is very similar. Essentially it’s a travel diary, but it’s so much more. It nudges you to be ‘mindful’. Indeed ‘mindfulness’ is a state which the author encourages. An awareness of any given moment, coupled with the realisation that this moment is unique to you. It’s a transient state by definition, but one which can be repeated over and over. As Uncle Bulgaria might have said, it will have you ‘making good use of the things that you find’.

You see, the book can be serious one minute and irreverent the next. It has moments of humour to titillate you on one page and moments of karma on the next. So, why not throw in a Womble reference in a book review? It’s what I thought of in that moment, and it’s just the sort of thing the author is encouraging you to do. It doesn’t matter whether you want to write existential prose or a limerick about a waste paper bin, it’s whatever that moment brings. ‘Deface me’ the book suggests, if that’s how you feel...

This book will bring out the ‘you’ in you. Whether it’s reflecting over something that’s just happened, succumbing to the need to swear about the blister on your heel, or describing something about that bloke in the cafe opposite – the one with stubble like Desperate Dan, who’s holding an espresso in one hand and scratching his backside with a plastic fork with the other.

Who knows what the moment will bring? What you can be sure of is that ‘You are Here’ is a journal which will help you to record it.

This is a wonderful concept for a book. If you’re going on your travels make sure you get a copy. It will bring your diary to life and put you in touch with yourself far more than a blank sheet of paper with the date on top.

This book tells you it’s an ‘analogue antidote to a digital world’. It is just that, so much more fun than yet another dubious app! Great idea Emma Clarke.
