Travel Souvenirs
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.

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.
Unique Ways to Display Travel Photos
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.

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.
