Mementos from My Travels
My backpack is usually filled with plane and bus tickets, free maps, and receipts after every trip, tons of paper scraps I’ve accumulated along the way; these are little mementos reminding me that I was there. Wan takes a more pragmatic perspective, arguing that this useless trash will end up in the recycling bin after some time anyway. He’s probably right; but it usually takes quite a while for such items to lose their sentimental value to me.
This is my first time keeping a travel journal, and it’ll take me some time to decipher my own illegible handwriting and do some editing before I can post the adventures we had during our recent West Coast trip; I’ll also post a series of articles rather than one long essay to facilitate easier reading and quicker turnaround time.
Thank you for your patience!
