While it’s nice having a memento of the places you’ve traveled to, it’s the memories that are the souvenirs; you can’t put a price on that. One thing that I do as well is to cherish the maps and little trinkets I pick up while abroad. After all, I see them as being the ultimate reminder of where you were and the things you did.

After a year on the road and also carrying only backpacks, much of what we returned with were memories and pictures. But the few items we have are so special. Like the tiny ganesh bought in bali,or the spice jars bought at a road side market in Thailand or the beaded necklace that tells our guides family history that he gave us in Borneo. Thank you for sharing yours!!!!
