Pia Grönberg is a journal creator and flight attendant who posts her artistic journal spreads on the @piasbujo account on Instagram. As someone who travels for a living, Pia has to be organized -- and derives inspiration from the many destinations she has visited.
We discuss journaling, travelling with stationery, and travel tips in our interview:
Tell us about how you were introduced to the world of journaling, and what motivated you to start your own journal.
I was browsing through Pinterest when I came across Amanda Rache Lee. The combination of planning and art caught my attention so I began watching a lot of ‘plan with me’ videos on YouTube.
I continued exploring the bullet journal community on Instagram and found it to be very friendly and supportive so I decided to give it a try. In April 2020 I created my first spread and followed up with an Instagram account. I’m so happy that I found this hobby because it has given me a lot of new friends around the world.
You're very artistic and clearly very talented! Can you tell us where you find inspiration for your work, especially your monthly bujo themes?
Well thank you! That makes me feel humble. I find inspiration from many different sources for example my surroundings, other artists and my daughter, who’s very artistic.
My current February theme is actually inspired by her. Once I’ve decided on a theme I’ll use Pinterest or the internet to gather even more inspiration and ideas. I often like to connect my theme with a story or event. In that way it makes it more interesting.
As a flight attendant, travel is part of your daily life. Can you tell us how journaling has impacted your busy life?
Journaling has really helped me keep myself organized on all levels, both personally and professionally. Ticking off tasks is the best feeling. It clears my mind and it’s so satisfying seeing all my tasks completed.
In my journal I can keep track of my schedule, when I need to book a ticket and also keep track of the whole family’s agenda. I live in Sweden but I’m based in Denmark which means I have to keep track of costs for taxation. Thanks to my journal I can customize the layout to fit my needs and this is one of the great benefits.
Would you say that your travels have inspired you to be more creative?
Travel is such a great source for inspiration. I’m mostly excited about different patterns and colors. Every country has it’s own unique style when it comes to fashion, architecture, food etc. This is very inspiring for an artistic mind.
Can you give us some insight into how you find time to maintain your journal in between work?
Sometimes it can be a challenge to keep up with my journal but I try to keep a healthy balance between work and my hobbies. After all, my journal should help me and not become a burden. I would say that it’s been a learning curve.
If I have a busy month I’ll reduce the amount of spreads so that I won’t get overwhelmed. As I commute I try to use the waiting time in between my flights for journaling. That makes me feel both effective and productive.
Do you travel with a journal or any stationery items?
Yes, I always bring my journal and a little pencil case. However I need to upgrade my pencil case so that I can bring some more items. Creating art and spreads during a layover is actually the perfect time. Journaling at a coffee shop seems so cozy, I think I will try that one day.
When you're at home, what items do you consider essential to creating and decorating your journal?
My most important items are a mechanical pencil for sketching. To fill in the sketch lines I use a hard tip Fudenosuke because it makes both thin and thick strokes which gives depth to the illustration. For coloring, I use Tombow dual brush pens.
They are my favorite and I have recently completed my collection with all 108 pens. They come in so many different colors and shades so they are perfect for blending and creating shadows. To finish of my spread I will always add some beautiful washi tape. Ether around my illusion or using as tabs.
Finally, we usually end on a question about stationery, but we must end by asking you a special question: what's your top travel tip or recommendation for our readers?
Oh, this is a difficult one, there are so many beautiful places to visit but here are two favorites of mine. Norway, with it’s spectacular mountains and fjords. Hurtigruten offers cruises on the fjords and here you will pass by remote small villages.
You might even spot a whale or two. If you like hiking, then this is the place for you. Troll’s tongue, is one of Norways most popular hikes. The end of the trail is a thin sliver of rock and her you can capture the perfect Instagram photo!
Thank you to Pia for participating in this interview. Be sure to her on Instagram.

Date of Incident: 25/08/2024
Imagine waking up to find 700 SOL missing from your wallet. That’s what happened to me after my Solana wallet was drained by a suspected BONKbot exploit. The incident occurred shortly after I connected my wallet to a dApp, leading to the loss of my funds.
Seeking help, I turned to Bitreclaim.com. Their forensic team got to work immediately, using the transaction hashes I provided to trace and recover the stolen SOL:

Through their expert intervention, I recovered a significant portion of my assets. I’m now in the final stages of recovery, waiting on Ethereum gas fees to complete the process.

Fake Compliance Department – London, UK
A scammer posing as a Kraken compliance officer contacted me, claiming my account was under review for “AML violations.” They demanded I send £42,000 GBP to a “clearing wallet” to unfreeze my balance.
I complied, only to realize I had been duped. My funds and access were gone.
BitReclaim’s forensic experts stepped in, tracking the stolen crypto across ERC20 wallets and into a Turkish exchange. They provided a blockchain trace report, which was later submitted in a law enforcement complaint. £28,000 GBP has been frozen and is pending release.
These fake compliance scams are becoming common. Go straight to BitReclaim.com, open a case, and use their 24/7 support. Don’t trust anyone who emails demanding “clearance payments.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sydney CBD, NSW – Ledger Nano Phishing & Smart Contract Audit Recovery
I’m based in Sydney CBD, and I lost over 6 BTC after falling for a highly convincing Ledger Nano phishing email asking me to “secure my wallet.” The email looked official, and the fake Ledger Live interface was indistinguishable from the real thing. Once I connected my wallet and signed a transaction, everything was drained.
It wasn’t until I opened a detailed case with the American forensic firm Bitreclaim via their 24/7 customer support at bitreclaim.com that I finally understood what had happened. Their smart contract expert audit revealed malicious ERC-20 approvals and address poisoning techniques that I didn’t even know existed.
Bitreclaim’s blockchain forensics capability is on another level. They traced the movement of funds across multiple wallets and explained the attack clearly and professionally. If you’re in Sydney and dealing with crypto loss, Bitreclaim is hands down the best team for blockchain forensics.

My name is Elizabeth Madison currently living in New York. There was a time I felt completely broken. I had trusted a fraudulent bitcoin investment organization, who turned out to be a fraudster. I sent money, believing their sweet words and promises on the interest rate I will get back in return, only to realize later that I’ve been scammed. On the day of withdrawal there was no money in my account. The pain hit deep. I couldn’t sleep, I kept asking myself how I could have been so careless, meanwhile my mom was battling with a stroke and the expenses were too much. For days, I cried and blamed myself. The betrayal, the disappointment and my mom’s health issues all of this stress made me want to give up on life. But one day, I decided that sitting in pain wouldn’t solve anything. I picked myself up and chose to fight for what I lost then I came across GREAT WHIP RECOVERY CYBER SERVICES and saw how he helped people recover their funds from online fraud. I emailed all the transactions and paperwork I had with the fraudulent organization and they helped me recover all my lost money in just five days.
