Nora Kifarkis yeah it's sad that she felt like she had to "disclaim" the artist title, maybe because of the fear of being projected as believing-shes-something-shes-not kind of thing. I wish I could encourage her to be bold and claim that title, because an artist is anyone who creates something from their heart. But it's not her fault, it's societys fault for making people think they cant claim their own title because of the norm of humility.
Any person who can make me laugh and cry simultaneously in a 13min span I know plays a genuine role in my life. Katy, you never fail to do both every video and even though I've obviously never had the pleasure of meeting you, you have become a necessary part of my life. It's these creative, beautiful, and intellectually curious videos that can be called pieces of art that TH-cam needs more of! Stay genuine and true to your heart and you'll always get a like and a view from me. Love you so very much! With great admiration, Sophie
The beauty of this made me want to cry. Immediately afterwards, I sat at my desk with my burgundy leather bound journal and expressed my self, fully. I doodled and sketched and painted the world inside my mind. I copied down the words of my poetry and matched them with these expressions. I emptied my world of stress and striving and spent a solid two hours feeding my soul. So thank you. Thank you.
You really need to make this into a book & publish it. Like one that I can buy at Barnes and Noble, or anywhere, really. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, and so would others because it is truly a piece of art thats filled with inspiration and life advice that would help so many people. PLEASE!!! I would stare at the drawings and read the quotes every day...
no way! thats exactly what I'm majoring in next year! I'm really similar to Katy, as we're both really creative, so I was asking bc whatever she's doing would probably suit me as well! I guess I was right, since thats what I've already chosen lol!
This journal needs to be made into a book and put into a museum. It is absolutely incredible. I had to pause on every page and just take it all in. Katy is my inspiration and she will never fail to impress me
Katy, this video made me realise that you have an air about you that's similar to that of a wondrous child. You never loose your curiosity and your inspiration and drive inspires so many who watch you, including me. You make me want to find that wonder and curiosity again and experience it in my everyday, and to notice it when it arises. Never, ever lose that part of you Katy. Its beautiful, you're beautiful.
A journal compromised of the most beautiful and artistic sketches ive ever seen, and the most inspiring quotes and phrases all wrapped in a binded book that summarized a lovely and soul searching journey. Truly in awe katy
Katy I just want to say how blessed you are to be able to travel so often while being so young, I hope God continues to bless you abundantly ❤️ unfortunately I cannot study abroad because I work full time and I live alone and my office will not approve my time off. But I am living vicariously through your videos! Enjoy my love!
I never comment, but this is completely gorgeous and such a fantastic idea. I literally just went to a stationary store and bought a notebook like this for my trip to the USA in a few months, completely inspired by this video. I've known you are a beautiful writer from your posts in various social media, but I never knew you were also a beautiful drawer. You'll look back on this precious journal very fondly when you're older no doubt, Katy. :) I also really resonated with what you said about other people's success affecting you - making it easier to feel like a failure. But I've learnt that life isn't a race; instead of constantly comparing myself to others, I'm trying to enjoy this place and time I'm in right now. Anyway, I love your videos, blog posts, instagrams etc! God bless, Katy! Love Katie from NZ xx
I love how Katy says she is not an artist, but these sketches are some of the best i have ever seen. Gosh I love you so much Katy, you inspire me so much. I can't wait to see where your life takes you. Surely it will take you to lots of success. I definitely see you in a career of like magazine editing or something.
i had been loving getting the glimpses of your journal on snap while you were creating it! The journal is beautiful, such an amazing way to connect us to your travels and such a cool way for you to look back on the adventures. thank you for sharing Katy!!
I never comment, ever, but I felt the need to come out of my life of lurking to say this is truly extraordinary🙌🏻 you are so talented. This journal is way more important and special than any souvenir you could have purchased. You could hand this down to your children! Like it's THAT amazing!
I don't know if I have ever thanked you before Katy, but THANK YOU! You inspired me when you first announced you were going abroad to follow my dream to do the same. As long as my life works out, in September I should be in Manchester. I am totally scared, but totally thrilled. So thank you Katy.
this is so inspiring, katy. not only is the whole thing beautiful but it's the most amazing way to remember important parts of your life - through sketches you made and little texts you wrote while experiencing a place and through quotes that impacted you at a certain moment. i'm in awe, i'm going to buy a journal (hopefully that same one from tiger, i have a few close by ;)) and start something like this!
Your journal is sooooo cool!! I loved it!.... by the way, this video helped me a lot... it made me remember that there is an entire world for us to know it; and the small problems are just there for us to grow as a person.... Thanks for sharing it with us!!
Girl idk what you're talking about, but YOU ARE AN ARTIST! I'm going to Italy in August and your journal has inspired me to start my own travel journal! So glad you finally posted this video
I love your journal. When I studied art my tutors were always telling me to let go and not be so precious, if I didn't like the way a page or drawing turned out I would rip it out or start a whole new book. You have to embrace the messy especially with travel journals and just focus on documenting everything you experience and I feel like you did. Also, watch the film they did of A Room With a View, it's amazing.
Wow Katy, you are so talented and beautiful. I'm really glad you made this video- you showed such a lovely and different side of yourself. You truly are an inspiration
This video is my favorite that you have ever made. It was beautiful, captivating, and incredible and made me feel inspired to see the world for all it's beauty. Thank you for making this video that journal is amazing and it is super cool you will have it forever. XX
I don't believe that you are not an artist. Your travel journal like a work of art. If I have my own travel journal book like yours, I would look at it every day :D. Well done , girl!
I could see the duomo from my window as well when I studied abroad. Mainly just the gold ball on top though. Florence was everything- would kill to go back and it's been 2 years. My journal was not nearly this beautiful, but it was filled with taped-in mementos and it is a priceless item that I will hold onto for ever. Love the positano paper- I loved positano.
You're so incredibly talented. You are such an inspiration, I hope you go all in in with your passion because I definitely see a bright future for you!
when u started posting about your journal on snapchat it sparked something in me to do the same despite not travelling but mainly for more of a self-understanding journal and i'm 0.00001% the artist you are and i just started writing quotes i felt were right and ripping up a bunch of old book pages and really making it my own so to see it in this video is almost full circle and i just wanted to say thanks katy!!
wow! your travel journal is so full your personality and personal touches of your adventures while abroad! I'm currently working on updating some scrapbooks of mine and fell like I'm going through a similar process of collecting photos and moments throughout my life/times as who i am in this world love your videos!
This is really the prettiest journal i've ever seen. It's such a beautiful thing to look back on in the future aswell 😍 definitely want to start travel journaling 💕
Been following you for like a year now, and I didn’t follow you at the time that you posted this.... this is so so cool & cool to see how your journals have changed!
some ideas (what I want to do soon): - step tracker (set one up at the beginning of the book, keep track) - print out or handdraw a map where you visualise your journey (if you travel around in a country) - citymap with all the cool places, favourite pubs/shops/sights - little weather logs - Write down one special sentence a day - leave space to put in pictures later, as you (or at least I) cannot print them out while you're travelling - draw some sceneries/houses/sights - stick in tickets, maps, postcards, programs of plays/films you've seen - press-dry leaves and flowers (if not endangered) and glue them in - write down songs you sang/listened to - make little pockets/envelopes out of paper in advance and stick them in while travelling when you want to keep something but you don't want it to be glued/taped down - put some washi tape on a little cardboard piece so you can decorate - doodle some food/ special things of the country into your book any other suggestions?
honestly if I could make a worldwide broadcast asking people to subscribe to you I would because everyone needs to see what an innovative, creative, motivated person you are. this was fucking beautiful and so is everything else you post so kudos to you love.
I'll be going on exchange to Europe this fall and this video got me so excited about all the places I will go and the cool things i will do! So awesome and inspiring !!
THIS. IS. AMAZING. I recognized some of the pages from your snapchat, but I am so thankful you shared the entirety of your journal with us. My favorite page is October 1st and the mountains you drew of Padua.
"I'm no artist" *opens journal to some of the coolest sketches i've ever seen*
completely agree. absolutely breathtaking
Nora Kifarkis Exactly what i thought!!
my thoughts exactly
Nora Kifarkis yeah it's sad that she felt like she had to "disclaim" the artist title, maybe because of the fear of being projected as believing-shes-something-shes-not kind of thing. I wish I could encourage her to be bold and claim that title, because an artist is anyone who creates something from their heart. But it's not her fault, it's societys fault for making people think they cant claim their own title because of the norm of humility.
Well said Victoria
i couldn't help but imagine your future kids and grand-kids finding this old book of all your traveling and get inspired by all those memories.
yess
I have never commented on a video before and this is the most fucking beautiful thing I've ever seen. It's amazing
Any person who can make me laugh and cry simultaneously in a 13min span I know plays a genuine role in my life. Katy, you never fail to do both every video and even though I've obviously never had the pleasure of meeting you, you have become a necessary part of my life.

I have honestly never been more excited about anything
SAME!!!
Alexa Foley I was like three hundred on your post! BTW so true!
You really need to make this into a book & publish it. Like one that I can buy at Barnes and Noble, or anywhere, really. I'd buy it in a heartbeat, and so would others because it is truly a piece of art thats filled with inspiration and life advice that would help so many people. PLEASE!!! I would stare at the drawings and read the quotes every day...
Marisa LaFalce oh my god this is an amazing idea. would totally buy this book
i feel like you will be the editor of a magazine some day
omg wait but actually that would be amazing
Erica Whitehead I remember she was (not sure if she still is) the fashion editor of the magazine at her university
does anyone know what her major is?
I believe she's a Communications major
no way! thats exactly what I'm majoring in next year! I'm really similar to Katy, as we're both really creative, so I was asking bc whatever she's doing would probably suit me as well! I guess I was right, since thats what I've already chosen lol!

this vid was so satisfying and honestly just inspiring
I need to journal more when I travel! This is lovely!
I have been watching your videos for the past four years and you are still my favorite youtuber/human
A journal compromised of the most beautiful and artistic sketches ive ever seen, and the most inspiring quotes and phrases all wrapped in a binded book that summarized a lovely and soul searching journey. Truly in awe katy

That was beautiful. I love seeing visual journals like this. I wish I could do that
I could see the duomo from my window as well when I studied abroad. Mainly just the gold ball on top though. Florence was everything- would kill to go back and it's been 2 years. My journal was not nearly this beautiful, but it was filled with taped-in mementos and it is a priceless item that I will hold onto for ever. Love the positano paper- I loved positano.
This is honestly amazing, I am in awe of your talent! You could literally publish this as a book
So frickin sick. loved it. I think this is my favorite video of yours. I had no idea that you were such a talented artist. Rock on love 💕
You're so incredibly talented. You are such an inspiration, I hope you go all in in with your passion because I definitely see a bright future for you!
This blew my mind. I'm so excited to go to Paris next winter and this just made me even more impatient!
florence sunsets are hands down the most beautiful ive experienced. 10/10 would recommend
when u started posting about your journal on snapchat it sparked something in me to do the same despite not travelling but mainly for more of a self-understanding journal and i'm 0.00001% the artist you are and i just started writing quotes i felt were right and ripping up a bunch of old book pages and really making it my own so to see it in this video is almost full circle and i just wanted to say thanks katy!!

Your journal and artwork are amazing! Plus I'm absolutely in love with your handwriting
This is really the prettiest journal i've ever seen. It's such a beautiful thing to look back on in the future aswell 😍 definitely want to start travel journaling 💕
That is the most beautiful journal I've ever seen
Been following you for like a year now, and I didn’t follow you at the time that you posted this.... this is so so cool & cool to see how your journals have changed!
This is so beautiful Katy! I feel like I've been to Europe too through watching you :D
this is one of the best videos that inspired me....ur drawing and writings are just ~~~AWESOME~~~
Absolutely love this! I just started a new journal and it's so fun. Thanks for listing your pens because I think I just might purchase 😊😊
Wow Katy! I didn't know you could draw so well! This travel journal is beautiful!
Why is this the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
Oh my god this is amazing!! I never saw something more inspiring and beautiful than this.😍😍 I love it😍
This makes me more wonderlust!!! As if i don't crave travel enough already!
some ideas (what I want to do soon):
- step tracker (set one up at the beginning of the book, keep track)
- print out or handdraw a map where you visualise your journey (if you
travel around in a country)
- citymap with all the cool places, favourite pubs/shops/sights
- little weather logs
- Write down one special sentence a day
- leave space to put in pictures later, as you (or at least I) cannot
print them out while you're travelling
- draw some sceneries/houses/sights
- stick in tickets, maps, postcards, programs of plays/films you've seen
- press-dry leaves and flowers (if not endangered) and glue them in
- write down songs you sang/listened to
- make little pockets/envelopes out of paper in advance and stick them
in while travelling when you want to keep something but you don't want
it to be glued/taped down
- put some washi tape on a little cardboard piece so you can decorate
- doodle some food/ special things of the country into your book
any other suggestions?
I'm in love with this...the sketches, the travel stories, i can't wait to study abroad in Italy
This Spoke To My Soul ❤. Your travel journal is Beautiful and your drawings are Magnificent. Loved every bit of this
This is so beautiful! I wanna travel in the future and now I want to make one of these wherever I go!

Beautiful! What did you use to color it looks so smooth!? I love this notebook 😍
Damn this inspired me so much! Your drawings are so beautiful you definitely have talent!
honestly if I could make a worldwide broadcast asking people to subscribe to you I would because everyone needs to see what an innovative, creative, motivated person you are. this was fucking beautiful and so is everything else you post so kudos to you love.
