When I travel, I rarely buy souvenirs. Although I see a lot of nice things that I like, I don’t want to carry them around in my backpack, and as I usually travel on a tight budget, I generally don’t want to spend the money on them either. For me, my travel photos are my souvenirs. I literally have thousands and thousands of them.

Although handicrafts and artwork from a country can remind you of your trip, it is your travel photos that provide the best memories. I love nothing more than going through old photos from past trips that seem like a lifetime ago, and remembering all of the great times that I had.

I was actually going through and editing my latest batch of photos from Laos the other day, and I came to this photo of an old building in Savannahkhet:

I thought to myself, “If I had a house, this photo would look great on my wall”. What do you think?

There are actually quite a lot of ways that you can turn your travel photos into amazing art pieces these days. With sites like Photobox, you can create amazing and cheap canvas prints of your photos to hang on your wall. To me, this is a great way to decorate your home with your travel memories.

You can also create “coffee table” type books of your photos, which, along with the canvas prints, make great gifts.

If I ever have my own home, I think I will definitely get a few of these made up to hang on my walls. The ultimate souvenir!
