While being on my year abroad, I have tried to collect small things such as train tickets, postcards, and 1 have been taking lots of photographs. Living in (French), I take the metro (地铁) every day. I have my own personalized map on which I have circled allmy favourite restaurants, cafes, parks and other places. I have even coloured it to say if these places have (freely) wi-fi or lunch deals. What I plan to do with all these things is making a scrapbook.
For those of you who have never heard of the word "scrapbook", it'sempty book which people usually take away with them on holiday, and fill it with "scraps" of paper, tickets, maps, (stamp), photographs, etc. It is like a memory book. You will always have the memories of your favourite places and rememberyou like them so much, all in your scrapbook! It is really (value) to own it if you ever want (return) to that place. My scrapbook started in September and after eight months was almost full!
Why not create a scrapbook of your time while (travel)? Isn't it nice to be able to open a book of your life and time as a traveller? You can't imagine how (happily) you can be by just looking at an old ticket with a special date on, or a napkin from your favourite restaurant. It's the little things that can make you smile.
