What types of souvenirs do you collect when you travel?

We get postcards or local photo pages from our travels. The kids put them in a binder and we keep them for their homeschooling folders. Easy to pack, easy to store.

One thing I always thought would be fun is to get a haircut and style in a foreign land. I have yet to do it, it usually happens before the trip. I thought it would be a fun experience and something to take back with me (and memorable)..

I have done this with significant others and it is a nightmare if the language is work and you are a bit picky about your hair. Tears has been the normal outcome. Just my experience.

Finding the local brew and bringing home the beer mats - later I look at them and it puts me right back in the spot where I got them.

The souvenirs is not what is interesting......it is the way it was transported......in this story.
When in High School my parents took me on a 7 country tour of Europe.. Second day, France. Parents had me sit for a portrait.
OK, now.....how to leave that in luggage till returning home ?
Didn't want to fold it
When we got on the tour bus after getting the portrait done. 1 lady took a roll of TP from her bag she unraveled it and gave us the core.......by the next morning we collected enough cores from the bus to securely place the portrait in.
