2016–the year when I’ve decided to venture into journaling systems. In the years prior, I I’ve tried Starbucks’ “free” journals, and any decent notebook that I could find at my local stationery shop.

Back then I felt that people around me (even my stationery-loving friends) didn’t really understood why I had to pay several $$$ for a journal/ notebook. But to me, Midori addressed a need that no amount of other notebooks could. Its size (portability), variety of inserts, paper quality, and its timelessness (patina, durability, etc).

This notebook has been with me to countless trips, and I am so pleased to have realized its value both in $ and in memories.
