Travelling is one of the most important experiences in life. Whether you are an avid traveller or you only get this chance during your holiday, it is important to get the most out of it.
A recent study says the secret to happiness is to spend money on experiences, not things. More people in the UK seem to have taken this view of life. In 2018, over 118 million domestic trips took place.
If you are among this increasing number of travelling enthusiasts, it is important to preserve the memories you enjoy during your trip.
Below are some creative ways to develop the perfect travel memories for your next trip.
- Buy and Keep a Travel Journal
Some of the greatest works of literature are in the form of travel journals. When Celia Fiennes decided to travel across England by horse, the best way to recount her story was through a journal.
Today, her travel memories over two decades are still alive in the form of a travel journal. Hers is just one of the many travel journals in history.
You can also preserve your memories and enjoy them later with family and friends through this technique. Any time you read your journal, your travel experience will come alive.
- Beautiful Removable Wallpaper
Photography is a big part of travel, and you will have a large collection of photos after every trip. You can also book in a photoshoot during your trip for the most amazing photos of your destination.
You can then create a beautiful removable wallpaper for your living room. This wallpaper will take you back to your destination every time you browse through it.
- Unique Souvenirs
Nothing reminds you of a great destination than a unique souvenir. It is advisable to buy something out of the ordinary and make sure it has some connection to that particular location. This is how old folks still recall and recount decades-old travel experiences to their grandchildren today.
- Photo Map
Aphotomap is another great idea to record your travel memories. It starts with a blank map of the world with all countries, major cities and states well marked.
You will then add photos from each of the locations you visit. The idea is to fill the map with as many photos as possible. This marks you as an established traveller.
- Short Travel Video
Most smartphones have great cameras, and you can record short video clips of your travel experiences. You can edit these videos to create a mini-video with your accompanying travel playlist. Any time you watch this video, memories will stream back.
- Blogging
If you want to share your joyful travelling moments with the world, there’s no better to do it than with a blog. Over 8 years since 2010, travellers in Great Britain have taken 50 million trips for domestic holidays (see here).
This means you have a ready audience of readers. Blogging is not only a great way to preserve travel memories but also to encourage others to enjoy these experiences. You can later turn this into a money-making venture by monetising the blog.
- Travel Photo Book
A travel photo book is a creative way to preserve your travel memories. You can choose and collate the best photos to record the most important moments of your trip.
It is possible to customize your travel book to suit a certain theme. You can even share it in a digital format with family and friends.
Wrapping Up
So many memories, so many ways to preserve them. If you love to travel, you should never let your memories fade. You will always experience a rush of emotions every time you look at these preserved memories.
