While traveling, even with all of the "better" fountains I have, my favorite is my Lamy Safari in canary yellow.

 

It's fun to write with and cool to look at. Interestingly enough, it's the only pen that generates attention and compliments from people. I like expensive fountains but they're like every other connoisseur item, NERDY stuff.

 

So, Lamy Canary is traveling for two weeks with me.
