Writing by Dr. Katie Blake
Psychologie
A publication on travel psychology, analogue life, and the art of moving through the world with intention. Published in three places, for three different purposes.
The Journal
The Journal of Travel Psychology
The Journal of Travel Psychology is where I publish long-form, research-backed essays on the science of travel — why we go, who we become when we do, and what psychology says about the experiences that change us. Written for curious travelers, journalists, and brands who want to understand travel at a deeper level.
Essays in The Journal cover topics including:
- The psychology of solo travel, identity, and self-discovery
- Travel anxiety, culture shock, and post-travel blues
- Wanderlust, anticipation, and the science of why we travel
- Transformative travel and the psychology of meaningful journeys
- Travel and mental health
Field Notes
Field Notes
Field Notes is where I write about the slower, more tactile practices that make life feel more beautiful — analogue rituals, correspondence, creative travel journaling, and the objects and habits that bring depth to the everyday. Shorter and more personal than The Journal, but no less considered.
Field Notes covers topics including:
- The psychology of handwritten correspondence and postcards
- Analogue rituals and slow living practices
- Creative travel journaling and memory keeping
- The objects and habits that make ordinary life richer
- The art of paying attention
Newsletter
Psychologie on Substack
Psychologie on Substack is the community layer — where I publish travel guides, personal essays, destination recommendations curated by how you want to feel, and shorter reflections that don't fit neatly into The Journal or Field Notes. It's warmer, more conversational, and more personal than either publication.
On Substack you'll find:
- Travel guides and destination recommendations
- Personal essays and behind-the-scenes reflections
- Curated lists for intentional travelers
- Community updates and subscriber-only content
- Previews and teasers of Journal and Field Notes essays
Never miss an essay.
