Having the opportunity to travel and experience different parts of the world is exhilarating, and being able to show and tell about it allows you to relive those experiences. Here are some ideas on how you can show off the dazzling destinations you’ve been lucky enough to visit.

Take Numerous Photos

A photo tells a story, and although pictures don’t always capture the entire experience, they get pretty close. What better way to flaunt your road trip or international exploration than to share multiple photos? You can share them through:

• Social media. These days, there are many platforms to post photos and expand on them with captions. With your friends and followers, your posts may inspire them to visit that place too! 

• Hanging them on your walls at home. You can display them in your living room, on your fridge, or on a designated travel wall. The constant reminders of your journey may encourage you to travel even more and motivate your guests to do the same.

• A decorated scrapbook or designated photo album. These are very fun to make and look at with friends and family who weren’t there. They’re also a history for future generations!

• A collage. Put it all together on one glorious montage of photos, and take in the memories again all at once.  

With pictures, you can easily recount your travels often. Most importantly, it helps you remember it forever!

Record a Collection of Videos

Videos capture memories as they are happening and help viewers to feel as if they were there having the experience with you. Not to mention, as you rewatch the videos, you have the chance to mentally revisit that destination.

With videos, you can:

• Make a reel of your experiences to share on social media platforms. This will give your followers a taste of your unique travel journey.

• Make your own personal movie. After it’s made, take the time to view it with your friends and family members.

• Create a designated file or collection of videos on your phone or computer that you can view effortlessly. This allows you to show off your adventures whenever you’d like.

Videos are a real-life memory that records the moments you don’t want to forget. They are perfect for showboating the place, people, and the exploration.

Use a Map to Display the Places You’ve Been

When you hang a map pinboard or memory board, you can showcase all the destinations you’ve explored to all your visitors. Having a vision board alongside of that helps you remember your travel goals for the future.

The benefits of having these on your wall include:

• Having a constant view of positive memories to look back on.

• Motivation to continually explore. Displaying where you’ve ventured may be an inspiration to travel more.

• Proof that you have reached your travel aspirations in the past and will continue to do so in the future.

• A straightforward reminder of the reason why you love to adventure. 

• A chance to encourage your friends and family members to travel too.

You can’t go wrong with having a map or memory board hanging in your home.

 Write About Your Adventures

Recounting through words does more than you think! Writing not only tells about the experience, but it also describes your thoughts, feelings, and emotions about it too. How you feel about your travels is an important element that can’t always be fully expressed through pictures or video.

You can share your written works through:

• A blog. Having a travel blog allows readers to take a trip through the past with you and visit places they may not have had the chance to yet.

• One of the various online, self-publishing platforms. If you don’t want to create a blog but want to self-publish work, this is a great start! You can also build a following to get more readers so that your adventure stories have a wider reach.

• A published journal or book. There are many fellow travelers who like to read about places and experiences from a different perspective. So, if you’re serious about writing, this might be the route to take.

Writing is an effective and powerful way to show off all the glamorous places you’ve had the opportunity to tour!

It’s something you can do alone or turn into a fun DIY project with your kids or even friends. Enrich the world by making your experiences known.
