Artwork Is Great To Bring Home
One of my favourite ways to keep travel memories alive is to collect artwork from the various countries I've visited. I saw the monkey painting on my first day in Costa Rica. I saw it from across the street, through a window and knew I had to have it. Hanging your artwork in your favourite room at home will always remind you of happy travels.
Create a Magnet Collage
If you collect travel magnets, why not create a collage to show them off. All you need is a cool magnetic frame and the perfect place to hang it in your home. You'll never run out of space on your refrigerator again.
Perhaps the best way to keep travel memories alive is through photos. They are inexpensive and don't involve hauling back any bulky souvenirs. My house is filled with travel photos, but our diving photos from Cocos, Costa Rica and Galapagos are my favourites. I have even made their way onto coasters which I had made for less than $20.
Bring Travel Home with Decor
Bring your travel memories home with inspirational decor. You can do this in so many ways, and your home will look gorgeous. For instance, if you loved your trip to India, why not add Indian-inspired decor pieces to your home. Add anything from world map murals to travel-inspired decor to your home.
Make a Travel Inspired Cookbook
One of the best things about travelling is tasting exceptional cuisine from all over the world. And if you love cooking those tasty treats at home, then why not create your very own travel-inspired cookbook. Companies such as Shutterfly create photo books with pictures and notes that you provide. You can choose one of their templates, including a cookbook. It's the perfect way to bring home scrumptious travel memories.
Send yourself a Postcard
Make sure to keep your travel memories fresh by sending yourself postcards on your next vacation. You can either purchase a postcard where you are and mail it to yourself or create your own postcard in a few easy steps. Check out this post on how to create your own postcards.
