Notes from My Travels: Visits with Refugees in Africa, Cambodia, Pakistan and Ecuador is a collection of journal excerpts kept by actress Angelina Jolie written from February 2001 through June 2002[1] detailing her experiences travelling to troubled Third World regions in her role as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The book was published in 2003, concurrent with the release of Beyond Borders, a film in which she plays a character who eventually works for UNHCR. It was also during the timeframe of writing these journals that Jolie adopted her Cambodian-born son, Maddox.[2]
Notes from My Travels details Jolie's visits to Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Pakistan, Cambodia, and Ecuador.
Jolie donated her proceeds from the book to the UNHCR.[3]
In 2006, Jolie put her handwritten notebooks up for auction with the proceeds benefiting refugees.[4] Bidding started at $150,[5] and the journals were sold for $5,460.[6]
