It is always nice to bring back some souvenirs from places one visited when traveling. Bring back some plesant memories. Key chains are my favorite souvenirs, and I have a collection now from places I visited in my own country and foreign lands. What is your favorite souvenir when you travel to places ?

I only travel here in my own country and i look for cute keychains to give as souvenirs to friends and relatives. Or if i can't find cute ones i look for cute bracelets.

Dear Sweetie. So nice to see you. We are very much alike. Key chains are my favorites too. I still have a key chain from Manila.
I look forward to visiting Manila again too.
Have a nice day Sweetie !

I collect music from around the world, so when I vist another country I always try to find the names of some of the famous bands or singers, and then I buy some cds. In the old days I bought cassette tapes, but now I always buy cds instead. I once bought some Russian techno by mistake (in Estonia) and I didn't like that very much, but aside from that I have been very satisfied with the music that I have bought. I usually try to find some pop or rock music in the local language. Sometimes I receive cds from my friends from other countries, so my collection consists of presents as well as cds that I have bought in other countries.

Yes, I bring back music Cds too, especially the classical music Cds. It's very interesting to listen to the classical musics of different cultures. Very enjoyable too !

Hi my friend Greenline. I love to collect costume dolls from around the world. Over the years of my traveling I have built up a lovely collection of dolls from many different countries. On my latest trip I had difficulty finding a doll of the right sort of size in South Africa. I got a lovely doll made out of wood in Romania. I got some wonderful hand made dolls in Kenya. I have a small collection of fridge magnets from different places.

Hello Maxi. Nice to see you after a long time. Were you traveling ? I know you are a world traveller. Very lucky lady ! Oh, dolls can be very rare collections , right ? I mean very artistic and can be expensive too ! But, I can imagine, they would really convey the cultural essence of the country. That's wonderful.
Have a nice day dear friend.
Keep in touch !

Hey greenline! I love keychains too! I like it when my friends
go somewhere and bring them back to me as gifts! Even though
I haven't been there is still nice to have! I haven't travelled
to too many places. I have some nice sovenirs that I have
brought back from Florida each time that I go to visit my
Mom. I like to collect things with Flamincos and Palm Trees.
I have one favorite souvenir that I got when I was in Canada.
It is a copper etching of a log cabin. It has been on my
wall since I got it. I think that will always be one of my
very favorites always!

I like going to the ocean and so I love to bring back shells. I have a particular one with holes in it I found in Cuba that I sometimes wear on a chain.

I love to buy hoodies/sweatshirts from places I visit. Sometimes they can be a little costly but they are a practical souvenior. I buy oversized ones too so I can easily where them over many layers of clothes if I go somewhere very cold for fun. It is also a good way to broadcast where you have been, and conversation starters. One hoodie I have says Paris on it and when people see it we will get into a conversation about it, its a lot of fun. I probably have over 15 hoodies from various places and still wear every single one of them.

Oh yes. That's a nice way of broadcasting ! In fact, to friends and to oneself too, a reminder where one has been to !

Pictures! That is all I have from my trips in different places. Friends would give me key chains and souvenir shirts.

Presents from friends tender nice reminders not only of the places visited, but also of the good friends one has around the world.
