Companion Guidebooks are country specific.
Each guide includes a Culture section with specific tips on what to expect when traveling through the country: the people and their traditions, the food, language, dress, shopping, money, and how to travel safely in the region. It also gives suggestions about how to prepare for your trip, what to pack, and what film and books to read.
The Country section shares interesting details about the region's most inspiring and iconic locations with insights about what to look for when you are there. There is even a fun trivia game to
And just like Mejo Memoir Journals, there is a Daily section for you to record your daily thoughts and observations in the moment, unplugged, fully immersed in the adventure.
When you step off the grid and travel to a destination without Wifi or cellular data, it's nice to have a light companion to guide you through the most iconic sites, give you perspective on the historical and cultural components, and leave space for you to record your own observations and memories.
Memoir Journals can be taken on any trip, to any destination. Each book is as individual as the traveler who uses it. The thoughtfully designed layout provides organized room for pre-trip planning, itinerary details, important travel information, wish lists of activities and food to try, and places to record daily thoughts and impressions. There are places to record favorite memories and other details worth noting about the trip and final thoughts.
Mejo helps you get the most out of your journey, and when you get home you'll have the notes to jog your memory and keep trip alive.
Mejos have been field tested in countries all over the world and have evolved into the perfect travel companion
Mejo Companion Guides measure 4.75" x 7.75" so fit easily in most day packs and purses.
They are large enough to write in, but small enough to carry around.
Mejos weigh about 7 oz each, so don't add extra weight to carry.
Mejo Travel Journals are hardbound and measure 6" x 9"
Mejos cover up to a two week holiday. Each journal has 14 days of dedicated daily journaling pages (two pages per day with space to write your accommodation details, activities planned, tips & reminders, etc.,) in addition to the other pages that make Mejo so unique.
If your trip is shorter, the excess daily journaling pages can be easily removed thanks to the spiral binding.
Companion Guides have spiral binding which allow them to lay flat when opened and fold back completely so they are more manageable to read and write in.
The spiral binding also helps the book expand naturally without fanning out when you tape in ticket stubs, stamps, brochures, stickers, and other scrapbook souvenirs.
Memoir Journals are hardbound.
Both Mejo Travel Journals and Mejo Companion Guides contain information about how to best prepare for a trip. This includes information about help items to travel with, packing lists, how to keep in touch with friends at home, what kind of travel insurance to buy, how much cash to bring and how to change it, safety travel tips, and what to consider when choosing luggage - carry on or checked.
Whether you are a seasoned pro at journal writing or new to the practice, Mejos help inspire your process by offering ideas of topics to explore and by through thoughtful questions about your experience.
At the beginning of your trip Mejo asks you to consider your initial thoughts why you have chosen this destination, what the context of the trip is in your life at the moment and what you hope to get from the experience.
While you're on the trip, Mejos provide places dedicated to recording your favorite memories: foods, quotes, most beautiful views, biggest surprise, favorite scent, most inspirational moment, etc.
At the end of the journey Mejo asks for your final thoughts: what this experience away from home has given you, how your perspective has shifted, what insights you've gained, how your sense of self has expanded, and what you are most grateful for.
Your answers and thoughts combine to create the best souvenir you will bring home from the trip; one that will take you right back to the journey and keep the memories fresh.
Mejos become a treasure chest of memories that keep your travel experiences alive forever. The details and stories you include in your Mejo bring back the little memories that photos on phones don't capture.
A pen is all that's really necessary, but it's also helpful to bring a pair of TSA approved folding scissor to cut receipts, ticket stubs, the logo from a café's napkin, and other fun items, as well as double edged tape or a glue stick.
The Essential Kit in our shop includes these items, all in a neat zippered pouch that helps organize loose items until it's time to use them.
"Timathea, your Mejos have transformed my adventures; they are my constant travel companions! They are incredibly functional throughout the trip because they contain my daily itinerary, important travel information and act as a condensed guidebook. The real treasure however, is transforming the book during my trip into an irreplaceable journal and treasure book of memories."
Melanie, Leeds, England
"I love this travel journal! The prompting from my Mejo to collect items from my day made me go about my activities with more purpose and awareness of where I was. Putting the collected items in the journal and writing each night produced reflections on the day that I would not have otherwise taken the time to reflect on. When I got home, I already had a book to remind me of my adventures that I could immediately share with family and friends. Having a place to put all my travel details - flights, hotel reservations, restaurant ideas, walking tours, etc., also kept life so much more simple, organized, worry free and fun! Thank you, Timathea!
Marcelle, Boise, ID
"This is the best travel idea I've found in years. Every time I open a book from one of my trips I'm transported right back to that amazing restaurant and the conversation and meal we shared, the bike trip along the coastal path, the sound of the bagpipes at the county fair. It's the little details that help me remember what it felt like to be there. I wish I'd had a Mejo on all of my trips! Thank you for all the thought and detail you put into this journal, Timathea; I'll never leave home again without one."
Michelle, San Francisco
"Mejos personalize your trip and make traveling to a new culture even better. It's nice to have them to look back on and remember certain details from all the places you've been that you wouldn't be able to remember from photos."
Wyatt, Glendale, CA
"I particularly love the Essential Kit. It was so helpful to have the zippered pouch and its thoughtful supplies with us on the trip. Thank you, Timathea! It made it so much easier to put our books together while we traveled, and have a completed project before we returned home. It makes such a great gift, I'm ordering one set for each member of our family for our next trip together."
Liz, Boston, MA
"Mejos make it easy to end up with a neat book of my own details on our bookshelf. They give me order with my records of our trip: those mental pictures and special times in our adventures I want to remember and share. I love having an actual structured book."
