hi does anyone know how or what is the best free way I can record my travel on phone and save to print later?
One easy way is to write/post yourself a daily email and attach photos. When at home copy/edit those emails and put them into a more formal blog.hi does anyone know how or what is the best free way I can record my travel on phone and save to print later?
If you are an Android phone user with a Google account, a very simple solution is to use Google Documents - like a simple Word programme. You can save documents to your phone, email them as attachments, or save them to the cloud on Google Drive. You can also dictate to Documents rather than trying to type on screen (just don't do it in the dormitory when folk are trying to rest!)
The smartphone app Day One is great for this.hi does anyone know how or what is the best free way I can record my travel on phone and save to print later?
Another option on iPhones is the Notes app. It’s gotten a lot better and has lots of capability now.The smartphone app Day One is great for this.
I sent my wife a txt every night and read them back when I got home. But I relied mostly on the old fashioned method. A notebook and pencil. Not pen, they always run out just when you need themI like Blogger but there is also Wordpress.

Have you found the MayMyWalk to deplete your battery really quickly? I agree about the typing on a phone keyboardMapMyWalk (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapmywalk.android2&hl=en) seems to have some merit if the information you wish to record is primaily locational/visual.
Rather suspect one would have to be masochistic to try to record a log of the days by phone keypad, but it could be done with this app.
I use a site/app called findpenguins.com
I can upload pictures, journal, and share it with my friends and family. It automatically maps your location too.

I liked this app a bunch. And when I got home I had a book printed which is now a permanent keepsake of my first Camino. Forced one to be more a poet than writer as the number of characters with the free version was limited. Here is the cover of my book.I use a site/app called findpenguins.com

I have been trying out a great e-journal that has an app for your smartphone. It is Esplorio. It allows you to post photos, write text alongside the photos and keep written journal notes on a daily basis. The app also shows your travel on a map by a red line. The map also indicates where each of your photos was taken along your route. You can share the link with friends and family who can follow your journey.hi does anyone know how or what is the best free way I can record my travel on phone and save to print later?
Esplorio looks great, but unfortunately it's not available for Android phones.I have been trying out a great e-journal that has an app for your smartphone. It is Esplorio.

I plan to use the app when I start in April. I can’t think of anything that it does not offer. (The power drain on your phone is minimal, really)
