Reflective European Travel Memoir

Job ID: 40574360

Budget: $30 – $250 AUD

I'm seeking graphic designer to create a landscape travel memoir template based on my personal experiences walking the Camino Del Norte (900km). This memoir will be the centerpiece of a high-quality coffee table book.

As some background: I posted detailed Facebook posts each day (43 days) throughout and want to turn these into a coffee table book. There’s considerable amount of text (total about 20,000 words across the 40 days) as well as photos. I also have repeating daily stats that go with each days writing.

I do these kind of walks every couple of years and would like to keep the same format for publishing future walks too.

Things I’m looking for:
