TAKING A PIECE OF YOUR TRAVELS WITH YOU

TRAVEL CREATES EXPERIENCES

MEMORIES THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

 

Memories are truly worth investing in, and Travel is about creating experiences that will produce memories to last a lifetime.

American Novelist and Short Story writer Ann Beattie once said, “People forget years, but remember moments.”

How true that is that we can be consumed with the hustle and bustle of everyday living, but when we travel, we stop to savor those moments. We are left grasping straws to try to capture those moments and memories for a lifetime.

We don't want to forget a thing!

CAPTURE A MEMORY

 

One creative way to capture a memory is to journal some of your thoughts, emotions, or a favorite moment or memory on the back of a postcard. You can pop your postcards in the mail and await their arrival once you're home; if you're concerned they'll go missing in the mail, carry them home with you, they don't take up any room! Get creative with how you store your postcards. Whether you bind the postcards into a book, display them on the wall, or place them in a photo album, those images and memories will be treasured when you re-read them years later. 

 

 

LOCAL CRAFTS

 

Another way to bring a piece of your travels and memories home with you is to purchase locally made art or crafts by a local artisan. Pieces that speak to you will often capture the culture, the colors, or the emotions you felt. They can be brought wherever life takes you, and you will be able to relive those feelings again and again. Art and crafts of your travels provide opportunities for discussion when you have guests over, and you invite your guests to share those memories with you.

 

 

WEAR A MEMORY

 

Why not wear your memory home? You can purchase a charm for a charm bracelet or a locally made purse or piece of jewelry. Whatever you choose, it will bring back the moments and memories when you put it on again and again. Wearing a memory will often spark a fun conversation in the day about that time you spotted the pair of earrings by a local artisan at a Craft Market in the heart of a bustling city.   

 

 

Whether you choose to sip your morning coffee out of a mug from your favorite city or gaze lovingly at a painting from the artist you saw at the beach, you will relive those incredible moments again and again!
