Great news!
On 02/12/2009, The Wandering Journal has arrived to its very first stop in its travels: Irmo, SC. To help celebrate this occasion I have set up a Google Map that will visually chronicle each stop when possible. To help keep it simple (and reasonably private), I've only given the cities/towns where it has arrived at.

The Wandering Journal Map

I wonder where it end up next after its first week? Any places you folks want to see the Journal stop by? Feel free to comment and email me. And to you Journal Hosts out there, if you do any interesting with The Wandering Journal, feel free to send me your pictures and stories. I'd like to know the area the Journal is hanging out in.

Until next time!

This musical meme was brought to by the creative artist rufftoon . I enjoyed it so much that I had to post it here. Now, as I have a huge collection (over 1300+) I'm quite interested in what results. So enough rambling, on to the meme!

While watching the news I watched a story on someone on traveling the 50 states, just because he could. I wondered how was this person, if he was, recording his travels. Was he doing it by photos, video or by memory alone? I then realized that all of them are a form of journals, no matter the medium.

I then wondered what would to be like one of those journals, traveling with him. What would I see, hear and experience? Then it struck me. I can be that journal, in a fashion. But I also wanted others to share in the experience of travel. But how would I do that? Ideas flashed though my mind. So thinking wildly and grabbing some blank journals that were cluttered around the house, I quickly wrote down the ideas and rules for what I would call The Wandering Journal.

Now I played it fast and loose with the rules so I thought of a F.A.Q. for the questions that you might have.
