A guided journal that travels with you — before you leave,
while you're away, and when you come home a completely different person.
The journal & the year behind it
Drag or swipe to explore
Three parts. One whole year.
MapMyMemo follows the real emotional arc of an exchange year — a mirror showing you who you were before, and who you became.
Before you leave
Packing lists, bucket lists, your five words, a letter to your old self. Capture who you are before everything changes.
During the year
First times, recipe pages, music playlist, portrait drawings, monthly prompts — and space for all the ticket stubs you collect.
After you return
The sealed envelope opens. The same questions as Part 1, answered by a completely different person. Welcome back.

Built from a real year
— Alix Delescluse, Founder · Rotary RYE, Sciacca, Sicily 2022–2023
"I built this because it's exactly what I needed during my exchange year. My goal was to create a space to capture the milestones you don't even realize are milestones yet."
This journal is here to guide you through your once-in-a-lifetime journey — providing the framework while you build your own unique story on top. Every prompt, every drawing page, every empty line was designed from lived experience.
