A photograph remembers what a place looked like. It does not remember the drawing you almost started on the train, or the ticket stub you meant to keep, and a run of unruled pages toward the back of this book exists for exactly that gap.
Most of the book is plain lined notes: where you went, what it cost, what was worth remembering by the time you sat down to write it. A separate run of prompted pages is set aside for the places that earned more than a line.
It carries no itinerary template and books nothing for you. It is somewhere to keep the version of the trip that a phone's photo roll does not, which is usually the smaller half of it.

In every book
The same six pages open every book: your details, who to call, the signs to point at when you have no shared language, and the map. They sit at the front because the moment you need them is not the moment to be flicking through.
- How to use it
- One page describing this book, not a different one.
- This book belongs to
- One page for your name and number, so a book that goes missing can come back.
- My details
- Blood group, allergies, who to call. Written once, carried everywhere.
- Emergency numbers
- Forty countries, taken from Wikidata property P2852 (CC0), agreed across two sources, every row carrying its QID. Numbers change and a book does not — verify locally on arrival.
- Point at this
- A pictogram grid captioned in English above and Indonesian below, for when there is no shared language.
- World map
- Natural Earth 110m, public domain, equirectangular, with UTC hour meridians computed from the projection rather than from a timezone database. For orientation and for pointing at, not a navigation chart.
- Conversion tables
- Computed from definitions — 25.4 mm to the inch — and not copied from anywhere, so every row can be checked by anyone holding the book.
- Pen test leaf
- The last page, printed for it on purpose. Every notebook is used this way; printing it deliberately is cheaper than losing the last leaf to it by accident.

Questions
What are the sketch pages for?
Unruled space for a drawing, a rubbing, a taped-in ticket, or anything else a lined page won't hold.
What do the prompted pages ask?
What made a place worth the detour, what nearly went wrong, what you'd tell someone going next. Not every stop needs one filled in.
How big is it?
A5, 148 x 210 mm, 100 pages, 5.72 mm across the spine.
Is it dated?
No. Start it on whichever trip you're already on.
Does it include maps or an itinerary?
No. It carries no itinerary template and books nothing. The notes pages are plain, for whatever you actually did.
Many have also left us written directions for making dials of these kinds for travellers, which can be hung up.
