Searching for inexpensive Canadian flag pins, stickers or tattoos to take (if everything works out) on the teaching exchange to Australia. This traveller has the right idea, I think…
When I was younger I used to buy a small gift for everyone I was close to as a souvenir …after a while I found that I was taking so much time trying to find a nice souvenirs for other people that I was not enjoying the trip and it was a pain packing all that extra stuff.
One day I decided that the trip was for me to enjoy and I stopped buying junk for everyone and just bought something for me. But over the years I found that most of my souvenirs….the fishing net, the crab on a plaque for the wall, the plate with the CN tower on it etc…all those other “Souvenirs” ended up in boxes in the basement.
Now I take pictures and spend my time enjoying the trip instead of worrying about buying all that little junk to bring home.So my souvenir is what I remember in my mind and have enjoyed plus all the wonderfull digital photos that I bring home in my camera!
