My First Solo Trip

Turn your solo trip into a custom illustrated travel book made from your own photos. Sketch My Travels pairs your original photographs with colored-pencil-style artwork created from selected images, transforming the trip you took on your own into a physical keepsake designed entirely around your experience.

The Germany solo trip shown here is just one example. Your solo trip might have been a first trip abroad alone, a few weeks across Germany, a city break for one or a journey you'd been planning for years.

Wherever you went, the book is about the trip you actually took.

Not a blank travel journal

Many travel journals give you blank pages to fill in yourself. Sketch My Travels is different.

You've already had the trip. You send us the photographs, destination and details from your trip, and we turn them into a finished, professionally designed book. Selected photographs are transformed into detailed colored-pencil-style illustrations and paired with the original images throughout your pages.

Your book can include

• Your own travel photographs
• Colored-pencil-style artwork created from selected photos
• Destinations, landmarks, wildlife, activities and favorite moments
• Personalized names, locations, dates and wording
• Custom cover and interior page designs
• A5 format (148 × 210 mm)
• Your choice of softcover or hardcover
• A professionally printed physical book delivered to you

For the trip you took on your own

Perfect for first solo trips, solo adventures, backpacking trips or any journey that made you proud of yourself.

Make one for yourself, or give it to someone who finally took the leap, made from memories that are actually theirs.
