So how do you categorize yourself in the world of travel? Take only photos and leave only footprints? Do you leave tons of empty room in your suitcase to bring back all nature of trinkets and souvenirs?
So I started by trying to bring gifts back for my kids and wife when I travel. My kid’s love language is gifts so it seems like a good fit. Over time my ideas have evolved and become more streamlined.
At first I would try to bring the kids a t-shirt then it got harder and harder to find stuff that fits them or local shirts could get difficult to locate in some of the remote places I go.
My current method is to take tons of photos, enter a post into this blog, bring back a Starbucks mug for the state/city that I visited then stickers for the kids and myself.
My son puts the stickers in a journal, my daughter on her water bottles and mine go on my luggage.
What do you do for souvenirs? How do you record your memories? Let me know I would love to hear.
Seek adventure and get busy living.
