I believe in collecting experiences. James Hamblin of The Atlantic writes about this extensively here. “Looking back on purchases made, experiences make people happier than do possessions.” When those experiences can be big and extraordinary, all the better. When they are small and intimate, they leave their mark as well. Traveling anywhere, from the most obvious choices like Paris and Rome to the more off the beaten path unique destinations most definitely contributes to the collection effort.
