Book Tour Infographics and Travel Highlights

We had so much fun creating a visual recap of our recent book tour that we wanted to share it as a little infographic scrapbook. Using the results of our experiences on the road, we condensed memories, milestones, and odd little travel stats into graphics and photos that capture that hectic, joyful period in our lives. These images tell the story of where we went, the small adventures we had, and even a few indulgences we couldn’t resist along the way.

* Each of the infographics above was created in Photoshop. The fonts we used include Ostrich Sans, Fyra, and The Only Exception; some are free and one we licensed with a donation.

Why We Made This

When you spend weeks or months traveling non-stop, there are so many tiny moments that blur together: the strangers who become friendly faces, the sticky-fingered pastries you ate at midnight, the hurried signings after late-night flights. Turning those moments into visuals helps preserve them. Infographics let us summarize numbers, distances, and noteworthy tidbits at a glance, while the photos capture atmosphere, laughter, and the people who made each stop special.

Gratitude for the People We Met

Words don’t fully capture how grateful we are to everyone who showed up, shared stories, and made us feel welcome. Whether you waited in line at a bookstore, chatted with us at an event, or opened your home and offered local tips, you made this tour meaningful. The hours of travel—sitting in cars, cabs, and planes—were absolutely worth it because of those interactions. Meeting readers in person reminded us why we do what we do: you bring energy, questions, and kindness that make every tour stop memorable.

Questions for Fellow Travelers

We’re curious about how you keep track of travel memories. Do you tally the states or countries you’ve visited? Do you keep a travel journal, a photo album, or a digital map? My mom has a quirky goal of visiting every state capitol in the U.S.—I think she’s well on her way. What’s been your longest flight? Do you have any travel rituals, like always packing the same blazer or a favorite travel snack? We love these little habits because they tell stories about how people experience the world.

On a lighter note: some spouses become unwitting tour mascots—wearing the same blazer to dozens of events counts as dedication in our household. Those small acts of solidarity make the grind of travel feel like a shared adventure instead of a chore.

Keep Your Own Travel Story

If you’d like to make your own visual travel recap, keep notes as you go: jot down favorite meals, memorable conversations, and odd little stats (miles traveled, number of trains ridden, how many hours spent in airports). Later, you can combine that list with photos and a simple infographic to create a compact keepsake that brings those moments back to life.

Thanks again to everyone who came out and made the tour such a fun, chaotic, and heartwarming experience. We can’t wait to do it again—and to bring even more stories and visuals back with us next time.
