Travel Sketchnotes: Neuland in Sight

Welcome to the inspiring world of travel sketchnotes.I’m Franzi, a travel-loving Creative Director and avid globetrotter. I’m currently back on a trip around the world, and along the way I’m consciously reflecting on my choices regarding mobility, accommodations, and consumption.

With Neuland and Franzi around the world

When I'm not indulging in Thai street food or watching dolphins with local fishermen in India, I record my adventures in my Neuland Sketchbook .

In this travel sketchnote series, I'll show you how you too can transform your vacation experiences into unique drawings using high-quality Neuland pens . As the name suggests, sketchnotes are small sketches with notes, capturing experiences simply and impressively. They're perfect for your artistic travel journal and for sending postcards home or to friends far away.

Neuland and I decided to collaborate because we share a passion for well-designed products, long-lasting use, and creative work. This is exactly what’s reflected in my travel sketchnotes. While I travel mindfully, plan longer stays, and creatively capture my experiences on paper, Neuland focuses on refillable products, long-lasting use, and a thoughtful selection of materials. This is also reflected in their design.

That’s why, since 2020, all Neuland markers have been refillable. For this, Neuland received the Green Good Design Award. You can find more information here .

I hope I can inspire you to embrace the combination of mindful travel and creative sketchnoting. Thanks to slow travel, you don't rush from one tourist attraction to the next. Instead, you take more time for everything. This leaves room for creative adventures like sketchnotes, allowing you to experience our world in all its colors and forms. To that end, Neuland and I have put together a small and a large travel sketchnote kit. Both contain carefully selected items that let you get started right away. These kits will be available in the Neuland shop in summer 2023 and can then be ordered.
