Advice for remembering your trip

I think we all want to remember our trips. It's fun to think back to those moments where you were walking through the narrow streets or looking at something of breathtaking beauty. One of the best ways to remember is to take a picture since a picture can do more than just show you what you saw, but can actually transport you back within your mind to when those moments happened. I thought I'd share some advice I thought of when reflecting on my trip to Italy 2 years ago.

Try to take more pictures of yourself or your travel companions than of just things. You'll be be able to remember the trip better that way. It's not that you can't take pictures of things but the pictures I have of only things, I don't actually remember 90% of those moments. Pictures I took that either have my wife or I in them (like standing next to a painting), I actually remember 90% of those moments. Something about the presence of yourself or people in a picture triggers your memory better. Also take pictures of all the restaurants you go to. Every single one I have a picture of I actually remember eating at.
