We all want tiny trinkets that will remind us of our travels, but fridge magnets and snow globes can be pretty pricy. If you’re looking for a way to start your own souvenir collection without spending a dime, here’s a couple of things you should consider collecting.
Maps
Free maps are not difficult to find, and they’re usually available at airports, hostels and tourist information offices. They also don’t take up a lot of space, so you’ll have no trouble finding room for one in your suitcase.
Banknotes
You’ll probably be changing your money to a local currency anyway, so why not save one of the bills for yourself. It will be super-fun to compare it to the all the other banknotes you collected over the years once you come back home.
Rocks
If you’re a nature lover, rocks are the most perfect fit for a souvenir collection. You can even get creative and decorate each one with the name or symbols reminiscent of the place where it originates from.
