How to Keep Your Travel Memories Forever

Although you might think that you will never forget the vivid memories that you have made on your travels and all you have done while you were abroad, all memories fade, and, in a few months or years, it may be difficult to recall exactly what you did and when. Some people might be fine with refilling their travel memory bucket every few years, but if you want to keep treasured memories close for longer and give your mind a point of reference, read on for some top tips.

Have a T-Shirt Blanket Made

One of the most popular souvenirs for travelers is t-shirts, and many people have large collections of graphic t-shirts printed with the names of the places or attractions they have been to. Although t-shirts are one of the more practical souvenir options that you can pick from, this does not mean that your closet will not soon be chock-a-block and overstuffed with travel t-shirts, which might not match your usual style anyway. If that is the case, you should consider having a t-shirt blanket made from all the t-shirts that you have gathered while you have been away, especially if you have bought multiple t-shirts back from the same trip. This t-shirt blanket can keep your t-shirts safe from loss and washing machine damage and you might even decide to take this blanket on your next trip. This means that you should look into trusted companies that can produce a custom t-shirt blanket for you.

Get a Travel Box

Another great idea to store all your travel memories is to invest in a travel box. You can put small objects in this travel box that you have collected over the course of your many travels. These might include rocks from beaches and other natural objects, as well as ticket stubs, boarding passes, photos, and even snowglobes. This will allow you to keep your travel memories neat and contained while enabling you to be fully immersed in your memories whenever you want to. You might even decorate your own travel box, buy one when you are abroad, or look around for a fancy choice that can complement the décor of your house.

Create a Travel Journal

Although pictures can tell a thousand words, it is the details that often fade from your memory first. If you want to keep the smells, tastes, sounds, and emotions of your trip fresh for longer, creating a travel journal can allow you to note down everything that you experience while you are abroad. However, you need to make sure that you dedicate enough time to this journal, or else you might find that it has large gaps in it, or that you forget what has happened by the time you come to write it. You should not ignore this option if you do not believe you are a good writer; it is more about retaining your memories and reactions on your voyage rather than literary value. If you believe that your travel journal is interesting enough, though, you might decide to turn it into a blog for a public audience.
