I\’m obsessed with the Midori Traveler\’s Notebook. This is pure stationery porn. It\’s a refillable leather journal from Japan and the attention to detail is impeccable. For example, the packaging is almost Apple-like. It comes inside a cloth bag, which is inside a cardboard sleeve, which is wrapped in 2 layers of plastic. It even comes with a replacement elastic strap. The leather looks really high quality and there\’s a ton of accessories and refills available, like various kinds of paper refills, calendar refills, adhesive pockets, business card holders and pen holders.

Somehow I think nothing I write will ever be worthy of the journal. It\’s not readily available in the US but I think there are some stores in the Bay Area that carry it. There\’s a good review of the notebook here. Now I just need some fantastic trips to fill the notebook with.
