Yes, get a printer. I know this is a side hustle for you, but you are professional in every way and a printer is an essential tool in your field. You deserve it and you have more than earned it!

I think there is a marketable business idea in this zine.... Few of us would go to the trouble you went to to create it but many of us would purchase one that we could customize. Food for thought....

I think you may have convinced me!!

Yesssss! +1 to this idea. Microcosm publishing in Portland, OR can help you get various city zines printed and distributed. This zine is so amazing and people would pay for this

Any printer recommendations? I have researched like crazy and they all seem to have complaints!

This perfect Zine-tinerary makes for a wonderful and fun trip, and it’ll surely become a cherished memory of your journey!

I love that there’s a page for collecting stamps.

We Japanese call this handmade travel guide “TABI-NO-SHIORI.”

Please come back to Japan again!

Omggg as a travel nerd and planner myself I loved this so MUCH!! Igual me emocioné al ver palabras en español jajaja. I'm so doing this for my next trip!! Yours was so beautiful it inspired me. And YEESS BUY THAT PRINTER. It saves you tons of time and money. My sis and I started playing around with ours and we even make our own travel stickers now. Having a printer opens so many doors for you

You need to get a long arm stapler :) it's perfect for stapling a booklet!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like you had a fun packed time! Can't wait to see more. And yes, dude, get a printer! LOL

I second this. We print a lot and I’ve had mine for over a year and haven’t had to refill the colored inks yet. And that includes printing (and reprinting) stuff for my daughter’s final art exams. Honestly it feels like a miracle.

If you can afford one and design stuff, the ability to instantly test prototypes is invaluable.

Who knew I had so much to say about a printer 😅

I am obsessed with this idea, going to surprise my kids with one for our upcoming trip to Alaska! Thinking it can include their packing list, itinerary, some games and room for them to put in their own memories! Like “my favorite part of today was…” Ahh so excited!

Una absoluta genialidad ❤️

Answer to #4: There is an extra long stapler for pamphlet/booklet stapling! Many companies make them, and a quick search finds several adjustable versions!

Thank you for sharing your adventures in travel and zine making!

I’m just wrapping up a trip to New Mexico, and you inspired me to make a post-trip zine to remember everything I saw and experienced. Thank you!
