Travel Backup
Traveling Without Your Planner: Keep Writing with a WriteScan Backup
Luggage weight limits, rain, cramped seats—plenty of reasons to leave the paper journal behind. With WriteScan you can still write, review yesterday’s notes, and sync everything when you return home.
Why Journals Don’t Always Travel Well
- Planes and buses offer little space for a notebook.
- Bad weather and crowded itineraries make paper risky.
- WriteScan keeps a backup so you can read and add notes on your phone whenever you have a moment.
Pre-Trip Checklist
- Create a template: In Markdown, set up sections such as “Visited,” “Meals,” “Highlights,” “Expenses.” Paste this into WriteScan’s memo field so you can fill it quickly.
- Scan reference pages: Capture packing lists, emergency contacts, itinerary pages with WriteScan. Title example “2025 Spring Taiwan Prep” and tag
#travel#planning. - Bookmark essentials: Tag important info (lodging, transit) and add them to Favorites for offline access.
On-the-Road Routine
- Morning review: Skim yesterday’s WriteScan entry to remember what you planned and the questions you still have.
- Daytime capture: If you can’t write by hand, record quick voice notes or snap photos. Later, attach them to the corresponding WriteScan note.
- Night summary: If you have energy, handwrite key thoughts and scan them. Otherwise, fill the Markdown template on your phone and do handwriting later.
After the Trip
- Scan any handwritten pages you created and tag them
#travel-log#ideas. - Export Markdown summaries to your photo diary or travel blog.
- Generate a PDF bundle with highlights for future planning.
