Scrapbooking Tips For Travelling

Keep a journal of your travels. I have found that a lot of memories get forgotten if you don’t write it down. I went on a 8 week trip to New Zealand and didn’t keep a journal. I regret that because I have forgotten so much that happened. I won’t make that mistake again.

Make sure you take your camera with you all the time in your travels. No doubt the time you leave it behind will be the time that you most want it.

Along with photographing the main sites of the location take time to photograph things like signs, unusual people, food and anything else interesting about the place.

Keep all your receipts, ticket stubs, wrappers and brochures. You will find these useful when your make your scrapbooking pages up back at home.

Try to write something in a journal every couple of days while things are still fresh in your mind.

Don’t forget to ask someone’s permission before taking a photo of them. Some cultures don’t like you taking photos of them.

It is better to collect more than you need, so make sure you save everything you can think off. Look out for thinks that could be used as embellishments. These could be things from the local markets and shops

I like to buy postcards when traveling. They have great photos on them and can be used in place of your own photos if yours don’t work out. I also like to buy little stickers and other souvenirs that could be used on a scrapbooking page.
