6 Tips for Better Documenting Your Travels

Undoubtedly, when traveling we have experiences that will last a lifetime as we explore the world and dip our toes into unfamiliar cultures and customs. However, it can also be hard to keep track of all the things we see, hear, and experience when exploring new places, so we may need tricks in order associate our memories with certain places at a particular time.

I’m sharing my tips and tricks to help you better document your travels so that you go home with not only memories of your incredible trip (inevitable) but also bring back with you something a little deeper from the world you’ve just experienced.

Carry a journal

Bring a pen and a small notebook with you everywhere you go. You don’t have to be writer to jot down your thoughts. It’s a healthy thing to practice. I love pulling out my old travel journals, rereading things I wrote, and watching my transition in my thoughts throughout the years, recalling moments I’d almost forgotten.

Take photos

Take photos but only of the important things. There’s no need for constant snapping, but if there’s something that sticks out to you or something that you want to remember, then take a photo. Just remember to live in the moment and see things through your own eyes and not only through the lens of a camera.
