Why We Buy Travel Souvenirs (And Why They're Changing)

Have you ever wondered why we buy souvenirs when we travel? From ancient pilgrims collecting meaningful keepsakes to today's travellers bringing home local food, handmade items, and unforgettable experiences, the way we choose souvenirs has evolved over time. In this video, I touch on the history of travel souvenirs, why we feel the need to bring something home from our trips, and how travel trends are shifting away from fridge magnets and keychains toward more meaningful and practical mementos. I also share my own favourite travel souvenir tradition—collecting Christmas ornaments from around the world—and why those memories become even more special every holiday season. 💬 I'd love to hear from you! What do you bring home from your travels? Let me know in the comments!
