Jordan Week in My Happy Planner – Using Happy Planner Getaway Vibes & Simple Stories Here + There

This week is extra special — it’s Jordan week! We’re flying out early tomorrow, Sunday, for a quick Eid getaway, and I couldn’t be more excited, happy, and grateful to explore a new place. Since I won’t be bringing my planner on this trip, I made sure to design this layout before we left, so I could share it with you just in time.

For this spread, I reached for the Getaway Vibes sticker book — it just felt right. I initially considered using a gratitude-themed book (because honestly, I have so much to be thankful for!), but this layout called for all things travel. Don’t worry — that gratitude sticker book will still get plenty of love!

I also used a mix of Simple Stories “Here + There” washi tapes — they paired perfectly with the adventure theme.

Some of the stickers I used this week:

• “Life is a Beautiful Journey”

• “Adventure Begins”

• “Wander More”

• “Travel the World”

• And my favorite — “Fall in Love with Life”

For the day we fly back to Saudi, I added the sticker “Where to Next?” — because, well, we do have another trip in the pipeline. I won’t reveal where until we secure our visa… stay tuned! 

A little peek into our trip: My husband prepared a full itinerary, which you can see in one of the photos — complete with places to visit, restaurants to try, and all the logistics sorted. I saw this quote online that made me laugh:

Now, a quick note: I don’t bring my planner when I travel — my Classic-sized Happy Planner is just too bulky. Instead, I usually travel light with my Happy Planner Micro Notebook or my travel journal. For this trip, the travel journal is coming with me.

My mini journaling kit includes:

• My trusty Pilot Sign Pen set (compact and colorful!)

• A PaperMate InkJoy black pen (my fave!)

• And my Xiaomi photo printer — which prints inkless, sticker-backed photos. Perfect for memory keeping on the go.

All of that fits snugly into my Happy Planner portable pouch, so I’m ready to document whenever inspiration strikes.

And if you’re wondering how I fill out my planner page without bringing it? Sometimes I just add photos and short notes. Other times, I go all out and write everything based on what’s in my travel journal. It totally depends on my mood… and how un-lazy I feel after the trip! 

Can’t wait to share more once we’re back. Jordan, here we come!
