HELLO FELLOW TRAVELERS AND FRIENDS...

Rowena Curtis, creator of the leather-bound Sojourner journal, began her business in spring of 2015. Sojourner sales quickly took off over Instagram, with orders coming in from France, London, Belgium, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and the United States within the first few months. Since June of 2015, Rowena has been able to use a percentage of the funds raised from the Sojourner to help support mission workers both locally and in other countries around the world such as Ukraine, Albania and Turkey. As an immigrant from the Philippines, Rowena arrived in the United States when she was 10 years old. She has experienced freedom and joy through keeping a journal and encourages others to pursue “documenting life as it happens.” Journal your daily thoughts, struggles, travels, moments and memories with a personal, handy (and really cute) handmade book: The Sojourner!
