Being back home in New Zealand, while wonderful, is also a bit sad. I really miss travelling and having the world right there within my reach. The closest countries to us are the Pacific islands, and then Australia, which still takes 3 hours by plane to get to. An hour on the plane from England you could get to like…5 counties (I don’t know if that’s right…), and then add only a few hours on top of that…Europe is just there!

Being home makes me realise just how blessed I was to be able to have those two incredible years over there. Sure I didn’t get to bring back any European cities with me, but I did bring back the memories, which is wonderful. These memories I have printed out in photo form and stuck them all into a travel scrapbook, so it’s easy for me to sit in a cocoon of wanderlust and flip through the travel escapades that I got up to.

Today I thought I’d share with you some of my favourite pages from my scrapbook. The book is one I bought in England, and the stickers on the front are clear, sort of bubbly ones that I got at Hobby Lobby in America when we went to Chicago in 2010.

Here’s how I put together my Travel Scrapbook

This travel scrapbook was so much fun to put together! I had saved some things from my travels, like plane tickets, museum entry tickets, bus tour tickets from Greece etc etc, so I’ve popped those in there too.

If you’ve been travelling a lot or even a little, I highly recommend making some sort of physical collection so you have it there to look at all at once.

It’s different these days, with digital photos. You can take hundreds of fun photos and great shots of travel, parties, places and friends…but if you don’t do anything with them they just sit in your computer, or on an album on Facebook that you won’t click back to very often.

If it’s in a book – a scrapbook, or a photo album, or a SnapFish-type printed book – then you can have it on your coffee table, or on your shelf, right there ready to pick up and flick through some amazing memories. Sure, it takes a little while to put together, and if you’re not very crafty, a photo album is super duper easy, but it is so worth it.
