Essy's Essentials

The Travel Memory Collection

Train tickets, postcards and a small journal collected from a recent trip.

A thoughtful way of collecting memories without filling your home with souvenirs.

At a Glance

  1. Keep meaningful keepsakes
  2. Write before you leave

Instead of buying many objects, collect stories.

Keep Meaningful Keepsakes

Train tickets, museum cards, pressed flowers where legally and environmentally appropriate, postcards, receipts from favourite cafés, local paper bags, maps, small sketches, journal pages and photographs.

Write Before You Leave

Write a few sentences before leaving each destination: what surprised you, what would you return for, what did the place smell like, and what would you recommend to a friend?

Pair It With

The smallest keepsakes often preserve a place more faithfully than the largest souvenirs.
