Every time I travel, I face the same dilemma: do I spend $50 on a cute souvenir that’ll sit on a shelf, or save that money for an unforgettable experience? On my last trip to Thailand, I skipped the trinkets and splurged on a $45 cooking class instead. Now, every time I make pad Thai at home, it feels like I brought a piece of the trip back with me. But I’ll admit, sometimes I miss having a physical reminder, like the handmade scarf I picked up in Peru that I still wear years later. How do you find the right balance? Do you lean more toward collecting experiences or material keepsakes? And what’s been your favorite “souvenir,” tangible or not?

Soooo how are we feeling about booking flights to Europe for early spring? Less so worried about getting covid as I’m boosted but more so about worsening restrictions.

Also wondering when to book as prices for those flights seem to be skyrocketing.
