How to keep the memories of your holiday alive forever

If you love to travel, you probably want to hold on to that holiday feeling for as long as possible when you get back home. Yet, over time, memories fade as we go back to our normal daily lives and familiar routines. So, how can we keep that magic alive even years later? Here are a few creative ideas.

Take plenty of photos

This is an obvious one, but whenever you travel, try and take lots of photos.

• Not just of the obvious sightseeing spots, but also of all the little moments that have a special meaning to you.
• Capture the funny inside jokes you shared with those you travelled with.
• Anything that you can look back on years later to trigger a memory.

Create a personalized photo book

There’s no point in taking lots of photos if you don’t then do something with them.

• Those extra special, beautiful shots can be printed out on canvas and hung on the wall.
• You could make a collage of your favorite moments.
• Alternatively, create a personalized photo book of a specific holiday.

Buy meaningful souvenirs

What counts as a meaningful souvenir will be different for everyone, but ideally, you want items that will last a long time and have a definite link to your holiday destination.

• Some of the best include jewelry and clothes that will remind you of your trip each time you wear them.
• Local artwork you can hang on your wall at home is also a great option.
