To all of you out there who have been taunting me that I would be unable to resist keeping one of these: You are 100% absolutely right. I caved this morning, and have no regrets. Maybe it’s because I’ve been pruning back my stationery accumulation and have made some room for one or two new things, but in any event, meet my new pen show/pen review notebook that’s going to be housing most of my notes for the blog! Enjoy this progressive unboxing of the Traveler’s Notebook 2022 “Traveler’s Hotel” Limited Edition!
Everything arrives tastefully and minimally packaged, with careful attention to the details of the “Hotel” theme.
I love Traveler’s Notebook’s burnished brown leather. The foil-stamped lettering is a rose-gold tone. And if you love vintage-style stickers, well, you’ll be happy.
The hotel-themed refill included with the notebook contains the cream-colored plain Midori MD paper.
Each 2022 Limited Edition Traveler’s Notebook comes with a brass charm. The “Hotel” notebook includes a suitcase. The other sets contain a different charm matching their respective themes.
The pencil was the pleasant surprise (though I wouldn’t recommend splurging on the set just to get the pencil). It feels like a Palomino, with thick black lacquer, and quality wood/graphite.
Takeaways and Where to Buy
Am I happy? Yes. I’ve relied on my Traveler’s Notebook more and more this year. You simply can’t beat the opportunities to customize the notebook for your personal needs, and I enjoy the tall/narrow format because I tend to take notes in a bullet or list-style. As I mentioned above, I plan to use this particular notebook for blog/pen-related notes and research, while I maintain my standard blue-cover Traveler’s Notebook as separate notebook for day job/household management.
My three primary notebooks. Two Traveler’s Notebooks and my brown Lochby Field Journal.
You can purchase the 2022 limited edition notebook featured here in the T.G.S. Curated Shop, along with the standard lineup of Traveler’s Notebooks and refills, as Traveler’s Company has been, and likely will remain, one of the select brands I plan to stock going forward. The four 2022 limited edition releases include, in the Standard Size, “Traveler’s Hotel” (pictured here) and “Traveler’s Airline”. In the Passport size, the releases include “Traveler’s Train” and “Traveler’s Records”. (Unfortunately, “Traveler’s Records” has sold out, but I have a few remaining in each of the other designs.)
The T.G.S. Curated Shop is an authorized retailer of Traveler’s Notebook and all other brands we carry.
