TRAVEL MEMENTO

Whenever I travel, I make a note to keep items that act as a reminder of the visit, souvenirs so to speak. Something about keeping memento is just so satisfying for me. You will easily find me collecting and placing admission tickets, restaurant receipts and travel itineraries into my bag when on holiday.


Having recently gone on a quick trip to Melbourne, I discovered a newfound way to keep track of where I've been... using postcards. Yep, I don't know how I've missed something so simple and affordable previously but for anyone else in the same boat, I highly recommend it! I'm thinking of putting dates on them as well just to make the memory even more memorable. Maybe I'll even punch holes into them and hang them from the ceiling with string, just a few more ideas to consider as well.

These memento ideas are all excluding photos of course. Take lots of photos, you can always delete them later but you won't get another chance to take more photos if you weren't happy with a single one or two. Take polaroids. I would've definitely done that if I had more film left. Maybe try vlogging. Next time you're travelling somewhere for a short or long period of time, consider a travel diary too whether it be digitally or on paper. Cherish the moments.

How else do you remember your travelling adventures?

  1. You hoarder :)

    Postcards are a great idea!! When I was in America, everywhere we went with those coin cranker machines, we would pop in the specified coin and crank out a souvenir coin.

    And then I lost the bag of coins somewhere :(

  2. Pffft, I'm not a hoarder... And oh! I know exactly what you're talking about but you know, postcards are a lot quicker and they're easier to store (to me anyway).

    Start collecting again so you have more memories to look back on :)
