Travel Tip: Document Your Travels

Whether it be writing it down in a journal, typing it on the notes section of your phone or putting a blog online, I think that one of the greatest problems people have after they return from travel is to not being able to remember certain parts of the trip or not literally

forgetting a full day of their trip (It's happened to me). And it can be quite sad when that happens because it may have been the best trip you've been on, and sure you can take pictures of where you've been, who you were with or what you've done but technology has a tendency to be cruel and suddenly all your pictures are all gone!

So what I'd recommend is investing in something that you can treasure and keep hold of no matter where you go. It would be a cool momento besides fridge magnets and other general souvenirs, and having something that details what you felt and thought during your trips. It's something to share with others and could possibly attract others to the destination.

So here are my top items/places for you to use on your travels to document where you've been and what you've done:

• Instagram and picture-based social media: Uploading a few pictures during your travels might not just be to see how many likes or pins you get on your social media but can also be a way to have pictures there for you to look back on. Use hashtags that signify what you were doing that could make you think "Oh I remember when we did
  
  that..."
• A Map and Thumbtacks: It seems pretty unconventional but a cool way to document your travels in a way is to have a map on your wall or ceiling of your bedroom and put thumbtacks on the places you've been and places you'd like to go. On the places you've been, maybe clip on a post-its or a few pictures as little memories of the trip.
• Pen and Paper: Nothing can beat the old pen and paper. In here, you can do your doodles and write little memos about your time in such and such a place but not skipping out on details you remember and can be a very sentimental. The nostalgia of reading old pieces of writing can be quite nice and give you flashes of your trip.
• What I'm Doing Now: BLOGGING! You never know who will want to read your experiences and find them both entertaining and informative. It is such a good release and way to always have your trips out there. Be sure to check out as many blog and vlogs as you can for cool stories!
