No matter wherever in the world your travel may take you, your air fare special won't include one priceless cost: memories. Insure that your travel memories hang around long after you're back home from your world trip — by creating a travel scrapbook complete with journal entries, photos and keepsakes. Anyone can create a travel scrapbook!
1. Keep a travel journal. The best way to recreate the special memories of your round the world trip is by recalling the sights, sounds, and smells from those noteworthy sites and special moments. Even if you don't have the energy to write after a full day of sightseeing, jot down just a few of your sensory experiences.
2. Save small keepsakes. A matchbox, coaster or napkin with the name of a special restaurant will conjure up the memory of a special evening. Tickets from shows or subway rides, candy wrappers and bottle caps are small enough to pack up in a ziplock bag and travel around the world with you until you get home. Look for small everyday items, preferably with words in the language native to the part of the world you're travelling in.
3. Put it together. When you're back from your travels around the world, take your favorite photos and organize them with the journal entries and keepsakes to create your original round the world travel scrapbook. You can either use a store-bought photo album, or get more creative by using decorative ideas on how to make a scrapbook from a multitude of internet resources.
