Our holidays are, without a doubt, some of the greatest times of our lives. Most of us don’t get the opportunity to head away to a luxurious place all that often, so they Tend to be very special. We work a lot during our lives, so getting away from that environment for even a little while can make us feel very, very at ease with ourselves and everything around us.

When we finally get that chance to fly away to a place that isn’t here, we often conjure up amazing moments that should live with us for the rest of our lives. The idea of being able to delve back into the pictures our brains give us is wonderful; it’s doubly wonderful when we see such amazing times in our mind’s eye.

One thing about our brains, however, is that they sometimes like to Forget certain moments and certain things – sometimes very significant and poignant ones. A special evening, meeting someone, a hilarious moment – these kinds of things. It’s quite the flaw we have. It would be good if we could limit that, right?

Well, we sort of can. We can do basic things that can remind us of some great times we have on a vacation. Some are super simple; some might be a little more hard-hitting and drastic. But, for now, let’s quickly go through a few ways you can let certain holiday memories live forever:

Souvenirs And Mementos

There will always be stores that you can buy from in certain areas of the world. If you want to remember a particular area of the world, then you can bring home a typical, cultural item that represents the people and the country as a whole. You could also take home something that you were given by someone from the area. Mementos from special people tend to always last in the mind, if not literally.

Photo

If you have a camera with you, then it would be silly not to use it for a bunch of things. Your imagination is a great tool, but it has nothing on actual, tangible images. Have you ever looked back at a photo album from when you were on holiday as a kid? It’s awesome, isn’t it? All of those places and having the nostalgic memories flood back into your head – it’s great.

A Tattoo

This is a more specialist thing to do, wouldn’t you say?! This kind of thing isn’t for everyone, so if you give it a big rejection, then that’s cool. A lot of people like to mark their vacation with help from a tattoo artist, though. Some people like to get a sensible little thing; others, well, get stupid drunk ones after a week of boogying on a party island.

Keep A Journal

If you’re into writing, then this would be perfect for you. If you’re committed to it, then writing a diary or a journal every day would be a great idea. As it’s your written down account of everything that happens, you’ll be able to piece together everything – it’ll be like reading a novel, except it actually happened.
