Everyone loves a vacation from the grind. Most leisure travelers are those who work hard every day, whether it’s at home or on the job, and they live for their vacation. But what is a vacation without a way to hold onto the travel memories made?
At any given time on any given day, there are almost 61,000 people in the air in the U.S alone. That means 61,000 different memories of work, reunions, and vacation.
When you travel, you make and capture a lot of memories. In the digital age, it’s easy to capture photos with your phone making travel memories easy to document. Long gone are the days when people used to bring a heavy camera to capture the perfect shot. These days, photos get uploaded to Facebook and Instagram seconds after they are captured.
But then what?
Is that it? Do the travel memories fade into the abyss of servers and storage on our phones? What can you do to honor the incredible memories made from an epic adventure? This list of creative ideas will help you make your travel memories last forever.
Give Your Travel Memories the Home They Deserve with These Creative Ideas
Make A Scrapbook
The best way to store and see the photos that you like the most is by making a scrapbook. The fountain that you saw or the name of the dish you ate, it fades away in a few months. So when you take a picture, you can paste it in your scrapbook and add embellishments around it to bring it back to life.
Perhaps the napkin from the restaurant, or a dried flower from the walk there. Think of little tokens you can bring home to bring your photo to life.
Memory List
Have you tried making any list of items that you want to buy from the place you are going? This time, try making a list of the things you want to do and the activities you want to do while you are there. A memory list is something a bit different from a bucket list. It’s more about the actual destination, its culture and highlights.
Bonus tip! Write the list on the back of a postcard from the place you are visiting!
