My travel journal | hellokaty 

"I'm no artist" *opens journal to some of the coolest sketches i've ever seen*

I have never commented on a video before and this is the most fucking beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's amazing

can this be made into a book that i can buy😍😍

i feel like you will be the editor of a magazine some day

i couldn't help but imagine your future kids and grand-kids finding this old book of all your traveling and get inspired by all those memories.

I have honestly never been more excited about anything

You really need to make this into a book & publish it. Like one that I can buy at Barnes and Noble, or anywhere, really. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, and so would others because it is truly a piece of art thats filled with inspiration and life advice that would help so many people. PLEASE!!! I would stare at the drawings and read the quotes every day...

this vid was so satisfying and honestly just inspiring

Beautiful! What did you use to color it looks so smooth!? I love this notebook 😍

can you publish this pleaaaaase, I want it.

I never comment, but this is completely gorgeous and such a fantastic idea. I literally just went to a stationary store and bought a notebook like this for my trip to the USA in a few months, completely inspired by this video. I've known you are a beautiful writer from your posts in various social media, but I never knew you were also a beautiful drawer. You'll look back on this precious journal very fondly when you're older no doubt, Katy. :) I also really resonated with what you said about other people's success affecting you - making it easier to feel like a failure. But I've learnt that life isn't a race; instead of constantly comparing myself to others, I'm trying to enjoy this place and time I'm in right now. Anyway, I love your videos, blog posts, instagrams etc! God bless, Katy! Love Katie from NZ xx

The beauty of this made me want to cry. Immediately afterwards, I sat at my desk with my burgundy leather bound journal and expressed my self, fully. I doodled and sketched and painted the world inside my mind. I copied down the words of my poetry and matched them with these expressions. I emptied my world of stress and striving and spent a solid two hours feeding my soul. So thank you. Thank you.

I need to journal more when I travel! This is lovely!

Katy I just want to say how blessed you are to be able to travel so often while being so young, I hope God continues to bless you abundantly ❤️ unfortunately I cannot study abroad because I work full time and I live alone and my office will not approve my time off. But I am living vicariously through your videos! Enjoy my love!

this is so inspiring, katy. not only is the whole thing beautiful but it's the most amazing way to remember important parts of your life - through sketches you made and little texts you wrote while experiencing a place and through quotes that impacted you at a certain moment. i'm in awe, i'm going to buy a journal (hopefully that same one from tiger, i have a few close by ;)) and start something like this!

i'm gonna be studying abroad next semester, i can't wait!!! this journal is beautiful :)

I love how deep and profound you are as a youtuber! It is so refreshing!

I never comment, ever, but I felt the need to come out of my life of lurking to say this is truly extraordinary🙌🏻 you are so talented. This journal is way more important and special than any souvenir you could have purchased. You could hand this down to your children! Like it's THAT amazing!

this has EASILY become my favorite video in the entire world.

Katy, this video made me realise that you have an air about you that's similar to that of a wondrous child. You never loose your curiosity and your inspiration and drive inspires so many who watch you, including me. You make me want to find that wonder and curiosity again and experience it in my everyday, and to notice it when it arises. Never, ever lose that part of you Katy. Its beautiful, you're beautiful.

I love your journal. When I studied art my tutors were always telling me to let go and not be so precious, if I didn't like the way a page or drawing turned out I would rip it out or start a whole new book. You have to embrace the messy especially with travel journals and just focus on documenting everything you experience and I feel like you did. Also, watch the film they did of A Room With a View, it's amazing.

I have been watching your videos for the past four years and you are still my favorite youtuber/human

KATY this was AWESOME!!!

OMG!! I am obsessed with this!! Your journal is sooo inspiring and beautiful. The wanderlust is so real right now!! :)))

some ideas (what I want to do soon): - step tracker (set one up at the beginning of the book, keep track) - print out or handdraw a map where you visualise your journey (if you travel around in a country) - citymap with all the cool places, favourite pubs/shops/sights - little weather logs - Write down one special sentence a day - leave space to put in pictures later, as you (or at least I) cannot print them out while you're travelling - draw some sceneries/houses/sights - stick in tickets, maps, postcards, programs of plays/films you've seen - press-dry leaves and flowers (if not endangered) and glue them in - write down songs you sang/listened to - make little pockets/envelopes out of paper in advance and stick them in while travelling when you want to keep something but you don't want it to be glued/taped down - put some washi tape on a little cardboard piece so you can decorate - doodle some food/ special things of the country into your book any other suggestions?

The color schemes for your sketches is beautiful! It's the first thing I noticed!

This makes me more wonderlust!!! As if i don't crave travel enough already!

What do you uses for the color? Colored pencils, water colors? Looks awesome!

when u started posting about your journal on snapchat it sparked something in me to do the same despite not travelling but mainly for more of a self-understanding journal and i'm 0.00001% the artist you are and i just started writing quotes i felt were right and ripping up a bunch of old book pages and really making it my own so to see it in this video is almost full circle and i just wanted to say thanks katy!!

I studied abroad in America last year, and boy oh boy do I wish I'd seen this before I went! Makes me want to travel all over again

This blew my mind. I'm so excited to go to Paris next winter and this just made me even more impatient!

Love this so much. I bought my sister one of those cute little journals in a cool shop in Paris. Now I'm totally regretting not getting one for myself!

This is honestly amazing, I am in awe of your talent! You could literally publish this as a book

Cute Notebook! It's Prost not Pröst by the way 😋 I'm german

this makes me want to go abroad again just so I can buy a journal and be artsy

What the heck?! This is the most beautiful journal I've ever seen!!

"I'm no artist" OK KATY STOP LYING OMG THIS WAS INCREDIBLE!!!

I'm studying abroad in florence this summer and could not be more excited!!!

This is so cool and inspiring. Love watching you, have for such a long time. You're a beautiful soul and I loved watching this.

I have always loved to write but for a few years now I've lost my touch and this was absolutely beautiful and made me want to get back into it and try it in different ways, thank you so much for this video, it would truly be a great book to buy if you ever published it .

This is breathtaking. I wish I had your artistic abilities so I could do this one day!

This is so inspiring! I love your creative nature!

I love this! I'm going to Rome this summer to study and I can't wait

This video is one of my favorites that you have ever made! I'm going abroad this summer and you've inspired me to creat a travel journal as well!

Absolutely love this! So inspirational

I would totally buy this book if it was published Katy 😍

this really inspired me

You are an artist!!! 😍 love everything!!! I wish I could do this too!!!

What the heck! How do you find time for such beautiful art in the midst of your crazy college life! Love it.

you have such an artistic and open mind, and I love that so so much. a main point of your beauty :)

So amazing thank you for sharing!! I am so inspired!!

Lol "I'm not an artist" and this is the most artistic thing I've ever seen described as "haphazard" lol

actual GOALS wtf Katy you make me look forward to college and traveling abroad so much, I live for your snap stories and youtube videos

Completely obsessed with this

I could see the duomo from my window as well when I studied abroad. Mainly just the gold ball on top though. Florence was everything- would kill to go back and it's been 2 years. My journal was not nearly this beautiful, but it was filled with taped-in mementos and it is a priceless item that I will hold onto for ever. Love the positano paper- I loved positano.

i had been loving getting the glimpses of your journal on snap while you were creating it! The journal is beautiful, such an amazing way to connect us to your travels and such a cool way for you to look back on the adventures. thank you for sharing Katy!!

This is so inspiring to me. Going out to buy a new journal today

this is absolutely beautiful, you are so artistic and creative darling 👏🏻 this definitely inspired me to start a journal for myself 💕

This journal is a dream

WOW this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen I'm so in awe wow

when you're a die hard Katy fan and recognize half of these pages from her snap stories ;)

OMG you're​ so talented and creative 💕💕

YO IM IN TEARS RN YOU HAVE TO PUBLISH THIS AKSKJSJSJKAKAKWKAJAJW OK IM SPEECHLESS & WDYM YOURE NOT AN ARTIST?????? LIKE???? THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN MY LIFE

You are literally pinterest!

I LOVE your art style!

absolutely love this omg

So nice!

LOVE THIS! My favorite video you've made :) I was wondering if next you could do a "top 10 books I'd recommend" or "what I've been reading" etc. something like that!

THESE SKETCHES ARE BEAUTIFUL. If you have a sketchbook id love a tour of it!

Lovely journal. FYI: if you get a tattoo with "Que sera, sera" (what will be, will be) make sure to check the spelling. (Sara is the name, *sera* is the verb you want. Sorry, I'm a linguist.)

Domani è un altro giorno is such a usual saying in Italian and Spanish. Funny how you liked it so much 🤔😊

It's PROST without the Ö. Just fyi :) Coolest sketches I've ever seen!!

Any person who can make me laugh and cry simultaneously in a 13min span I know plays a genuine role in my life. Katy, you never fail to do both every video and even though I've obviously never had the pleasure of meeting you, you have become a necessary part of my life. It's these creative, beautiful, and intellectually curious videos that can be called pieces of art that RU-vid needs more of! Stay genuine and true to your heart and you'll always get a like and a view from me. Love you so very much! With great admiration, Sophie

Every few years I come back to this video One day I will go to uni abroad and do what you did as well Thank you for inspiring me
