The Traveling Pen

Travel Writing — capturing places, memories and atmospheres on paper.

We carefully plan our trips, dream about special places, take hundreds of pictures. And then return home with memories that stay trapped in our phones.

The Traveling Pen is a creative writing workshop about slowing down and transforming travel memories into something tangible and personal. 

In the first part, you'll work with photos from a recent trip, holiday, or weekend escape. Through guided writing exercises, moments, atmospheres, and emotions come back to life on paper. 

In the second part, you'll discover simple analogue rituals and journaling practices to take with you on future travels, small tools to notice more, remember more, and collect meaningful moments along the way.

No previous writing experience needed. Just bring a few photos, on your phone or printed, and the curiosity to reconnect with your experiences beyond the screen.

Your ticket includes: One notebook refill, all materials, and guided exercises to keep and use on your next trip.
