In reply to Yukti Agrawal. Oh I'd love to see some of your travel journals. And one of the things I like about including ephemera is it's a physical, tangible part of your trip. There's something about it that makes me feel like I'm back in the destination traveling.

In reply to Jyoti. I always admired serious scrapbookers... but could never fully get into it. These ideas of making travel scrapbooks were my way of sort of doing it, I suppose! :)

What a wonderful set of ideas to quickly organize travel treasures!! It reminds of my days of scrapbooking when I spent tons of time and money and space putting together amazing scrapbooks. Your methods are so much more manageable and sustainable.
I’d love to adopt some of your ideas when we can start traveling again

Wow, so many creative ideas and being a creative person, I would really incorporate some of them. I do photo journalling but good to know about “Ephemera”thing. Never knew about creating a such type of fancy travel journal in which small pieces of paper and many other collectibles from our purse can be combined together. I would now surely do this Ephemera thing. Creating artistic type of travel journal is also a good idea.

In reply to Vanessa Ball. How cool! How long did it take your post card to arrive from Antarctica?! I sent my family a post card from Nazca, Peru and it arrived a year later—no joke!

There are some fabulous ideas here on how to display your travel memories in a journal. My walls would be full if I kept all of my tickets and menus in journals. I like the idea of a book though for photo memories, would be great gifts. The only time I’ve sent myself a postcard was from Port Lockroy in Antarctica as it’s the most southern postbox in the world, it is a nice keepsake!

In reply to Carol Kubicki. So glad you found the post inspiring, Carol. I love looking over old postcards, too. I keep them in clear sleeves in a binder so it's easy to flip through them. :)

In reply to Freya.

Haha – I love the word “ephemera” too but I get kind of self-conscious using it, like I’m highfalutin! 😉 I think the main point of travel scrapbooks is that you enjoy them, not that they look picture-perfect.

In reply to Sarah. Yay!!! Our lives may look very different these days, but many of us are finding more time to do projects we never could before. Did you end up making your travel scrapbook?
