How to Make Your Travel Memories Last Forever
Let’s face it, photo albums just aren’t all that fun. Do you
ever get bored to death by an uncle or auntie who wants to show you every single
photo that was taken? Trust me, we have all been there.
Sometimes, photos on your Instagram just isn’t enough. You
might want something to flick back on every couple of years, or even show your
kids and grandkids, right?
Here are 5 fun ways that you can showcase your latest
holiday without sticking to photo albums.
1. Create a Scrapbook
I love scrapbooks! I remember I created my first one in
Australia, and collected things like leaflets, travel tickets and, as gross as
this is, wool from a sheep that I sheared at an Australian zoo. Yep, I still
have it!
You can buy digital scrapbook designs
online if you have absolutely no idea where to start. There are plenty of designs
to choose from which is perfect if you’re a bit like me and have no creativity
whatsoever.
Just make sure you actually collect things while you’re on
holiday, like leaflets, and keep your travel cards too. Photos are great but
you want small items that show off all the fun places that you have visited.
2. Keep a Travel Diary
Creating daily diary entries while you’re away will give you
chance to look back on your time and reflect on everything that you did. It
will also help you match your photos to the correct day, if you ever need to find
out.
It is on my bucket list to start keeping a diary – as much
as my life makes me cry, cringe, scream, it would definitely be funny looking
back on it in twenty years’ time!
3. Print Out Your Photos
I always make sure that I order my holiday photos, rather
than just throwing them all on Facebook. You never know when social media is
going to die, and if it does, you won’t have any physical copies to keep hold
of.
I order mine place by place, and then put a label on the
front of the album to say where it is, for example, BERLIN, BARCELONA or CAMBODIA.
It makes it so much easier finding photos when they are labelled.
4. Collect Something
One of my aunties collects a magnet every time she is away,
her fridge is absolutely filled with colours, fun and memories of great holidays.
There are plenty of things that you can collect, for
example, postcards, coins, or even little key rings.
5. Start a Blog
I originally started my blog because of a uni project, but
there have been so many times that I have referred to certain things that I
have published.
I often forget about random things that happened, and
putting them in a blog pretty much straight away allows me to check back on
them and reminisce on happy times.
Blogs are so easy to set up too, and free. Plus, you’ll be
able to access it wherever you go. Who knows, maybe you could even earn some money
from writing about your experiences.
