Introduction: Favorite Traveler's Notebook Color
Michelle addresses a frequently asked question about her favorite Traveler's Notebook color, specifically between the camel and brown options. She mentions owning both colors in different sizes and expresses that she likes them equally for different reasons. The camel color was initially a sought-after item, especially in the regular size, but it became harder to find after the Traveler's Star Edition for the fifth anniversary.
The Allure of the Camel Color
Michelle shares her initial obsession with the camel color, particularly wanting it in the regular size after owning it in the passport size. Due to its limited availability, she found herself being overly cautious with her camel notebook. She was afraid of scratches, stains, and water damage, which contradicted the purpose of a Traveler's Notebook meant for everyday use and durability.
The Practicality of the Brown Color
Michelle discusses her brown Traveler's Notebook in the passport size, noting that she uses it more freely due to its darker color. She doesn't worry about placing it anywhere or handling it roughly, which has resulted in a beautiful shine and character. She feels that the brown notebook has aged better because she wasn't as careful with it, embracing its intended use for travel and everyday wear.
Current Preferences and Usage
Michelle states that she likes both colors for different purposes. She now owns the camel color in the regular size and has started using it without being overly cautious. She envisions using the camel notebook more as an ephemera holder for receipts and paper goods, while continuing to use the brown notebook for everyday wear and travel.
Bonding with the Brown Color
Michelle expresses her strong connection with her brown Traveler's Notebook, appreciating its scratches and the freedom to use it without worrying about dirt or damage. She enjoys taking it everywhere and placing it on various surfaces, fully embracing its purpose as a travel companion.
Final Thoughts and Call to Action
Michelle concludes that she prefers the brown color for everyday wear and the camel color for light packing and storing paper goods, though this may change over time. She imagines that any stains on the camel notebook would bother her more than on the brown, where they would blend in and add to its character. She asks viewers about their favorite Traveler's Notebook colors and their experiences with them. She also mentions an upcoming video about the benefits of the regular versus passport size notebooks.
