The older I get, the more I realise, I will not remember the name of the random person I met on the airport bus or the book they recommended or the walking tour guide’s name, or the artist whose sculpture I loved.

I need to record it in some way on the spot. I used to write it down in my diary or travel journal but in this electronic age, there are my three favourite note programs. These are my top three:

1. Evernote has been stable mate. It allows me to photograph things and imbed them into notes as well as integrating and sharing documents
2. In recent times, I have been delighting in Paper by FiftyThree. It feels like Pinterest made for travel, allowing  me to collect photos,  diagrams, notes or drawings and easily share them across the interweb
3. Super Notes is amazingly versatile notes program, which allows me to record sounds, meetings and notes and imbed them into notes which I can then share.
