7 of the Best Travel Collection Ideas

I love traveling, and I love to remember everything about the places I visit. But, honestly, I don’t want a huge scrapbook for every trip I ever take or a t-shirt or a trinket-ity souvenir… sometimes I don’t want to buy anything. So, what the heck do I do? I decided I would collect pictures of trees from each place I visit. I think a tree can really tell you a lot about a place. I remember the exact location of each tree in my collection. One day, I want to frame them, and have a wall of trees from around the world.

Here are 7 clever, fun free travel collections.

1. Tree collection

I started collecting pictures of trees many years ago. It’s a fun way to remember travels and takes up a very small amount of space.

2. Sand/ and soil collection

Use spice containers and simple labels to display sand from all over the world.

3. Vacation rocks

This takes less effort and money than the sand samples, all you need or this is rocks and a black permanent marker. For dark rocks, use a white pencil, like this one.

4. Sugar packet collection

5. Vintage Tins

6. Airline Barf Bag Collection

This travel collection started as a joke from her husband, but turned into an interesting collection!

7. Postcards

My grandparents collected post cards from their travels and gave me their collection.
