BellaOnline Forums Travel and Culture Southeast Asia What do you collect when you travel?

Shot glasses.

I do collect rocks sometimes. I took one from Jim Morrison's grave in France. I also like to get book marks of places. That way I find them in books and remember my trip. I started this on my honeymoon. I also like to save corks from wines I try, but that is not just on trips. Now they are replacing corks, I will have to change this one.

shot glasses and rocks. The shot glasses become bud vases, especially for pansies and miniature roses. I found a piece of petrified wood on the beach in Costa Rica. <img src="/images/graemlins/beamedup.gif" alt="" />

That's a good idea on how to use the shot glasses. They make a great conversation opener about past travels. There is alot of petrified wood and metorites in northern Arizonia. I was too chicken to take the wood after reading the signs not to do so. Cool!

I started collecting games (board games, card games etc.) from other countries as I travel. It is fun to learn different types of games played in other countries and is a good souvenier.

I would not take anything if there were signs, either. But the beach was all rocks, and this just jumped out at me because I love petrified wood. I also got a neat rock from the beach; they all had indentions in them and it took me a while to find the one I had in mind that I wanted to find. It is like a bowl made out of rock.

A bowl shaped rock is different!

Does anyone collect magnets?

i like to collect postcards, esp because i'm not much of a photographer - it assures i get at least a few good pics <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I agree with you. I am not a very good photograher. The postcards are awesome. I still view them. All readers who buy postcards, tell us where you were.
