An apparatus for recording theme-based travel related events includes a set of display pieces, each configured to depict a scaled, specific geographic area and, when arranged in a predetermined orientation, collectively depict a larger, substantially contiguous geographic region. A display tray forms a flat display surface dimensioned to hold the entire set, or selective subsets of display pieces. A storage tray holds the unused display pieces. Magnets, adhesive and/or mechanical interlocks retain the individual display pieces on either the display or storage tray. A mounting frame holds the display tray for wall mounted viewing of the changing mosaic of display pieces and simultaneously stores the unused pieces. A partially pre-formatted travel ledger carried with the frame records key dates, locations and events.
