When I travel, I’m not much of a shopper, preferring to spend as much time as possible exploring. What I bring back from travel is memories, and I record those with my pictures, photo books, and blog posts. But on each trip, in every location, I do buy at least one thing, something to hang on our Christmas tree. I prefer it not be an actual ornament and try to find something specific to the place or experience. Once back home, I write the year and location on each. Decorating our tree is a trip all its own . . . down memory lane.
