The best thing about summertime memories is that they can make your heart feel warm throughout the rest of the year. In this article, we want to explore together 5 ways in which you can keep your memories from the summer alive as long as possible.
Tip #1. Prepare in Advance for The Holidays
One of our first tips for the summer season is to make sure that you prepare for your vacation. You need to have everything that can help you keep track of your memories. This includes a good quality camera, a phone (for quick photos), batteries, chargers, as well as a notebook and a pencil.
Tip #2. Take Photos & Record Videos
It is pointless to spend a whole summer day taking photos. After all, it is much more important to experience the summer than to record it, right?
In this regard, we recommend that you deliberately choose those moments and places you would like to photograph. Also, make sure you find quick ways to record small Aha moments on the go. These can include a person that impresses you, a nice coffee place you are just passing by, a stunning sunset, etc.
As much as we like high-quality photos, we also encourage you to record videos. Videos are a great tool when it comes to capturing the emotion that is predominant in each moment. This is why videos can help you keep your memories from the summer alive.
Tip #3. Journal
Another way to keep your memories from the summer is to journal on a daily basis. For instance, you can write down what impressed you the most on a respective day, as well as what you are most grateful for. When you go through your notes later on, you will inevitably find yourself smiling. In addition, these notes can help you organize your photos and memories once you return from your vacation and the summer is over.
Tip #4. Bring Back a Souvenir
We do not like surrounding ourselves with too many things. Nevertheless, buying a souvenir or two can be a great way of preserving your memories. On top of that, you can also keep an entrance ticket, a travel card or anything else that reminds you of a summer trip.
Tip #5. Create a Memory Box/Album/Wall
The last of our summer tips on how to keep your memories from the summer is all about organizing your photos, notes and souvenirs. Once you are back from your vacation, select your best photos and print them out.
Then create a memory album, box or wall and fill it with those juicy reminders of great summer experiences. Whenever you look at them, you will transport yourself to summer.
