He was on a journey across India – from the cold mountains of Jammu to the tranquil backwaters of Kerala.

On a cool evening in Jaisalmer, the golden city of India, he found himself atop an ancient fort, gazing out over the sprawling sand dunes that shimmered under the setting sun. This is where the idea for the Traveler was born.

As a passionate traveler, he always had a notebook by his side. As he reached for his trusty companion to sketch the breathtaking scene, he realized he was on the last few pages—his journey was not over, but his notebook soon would be.

A few months into his journey, this was a recurring predicament, and that wasn’t the only problem.

He needed a journal that would withstand rain from a sudden monsoon shower, the crush of a crowded train, or the dust from rural trails – something that would protect his pages, and hold his recorded memories together.

At that moment, it sparked a thought: What if there was a notebook designed for travelers like him, one that never ran out of space for new experiences? One that could stick with him throughout his journey, not just around the country, but around the world?

That night, back in his small, lamp-lit room, he sketched the initial designs for what would become ‘The Traveler’ — a robust, vegan leather-bound journal with replaceable pages, designed specifically for travellers like himself. Today, you can buy this too.
