Cutting out expensive souvenirs or impulse purchases made abroad can be one of the quickest ways to lessen your expenses. The following travelers each have their own unique souvenirs that they collect while traveling—but the best part is that all of these travel memories are totally free of charge.
Here are some of the best free souvenirs to collect while traveling: Hotel Pens “I like to collect branded ink pens when traveling,” suggested Alex Smith, owner of Second Dad to the Right , adding that most nice hotels, restaurants, and theme parks have branded ink pens and are happy to let you have them (after all, they're branded for marketing). “I just ask to take them as I pay the check. Then, they remind me of my trip when I use them at home.
As a bonus, they're usually good quality.” Maps and Pamphlets “I like picking up free maps, pamphlets, or flyers when traveling and placing them in a portfolio binder with plastic sleeves,” said Kay A. owner of Tiny Tot In Tokyo .
“This is a great way to remember a country or city at a particular point in time, especially with flyers, since things are always changing.” MORE FOR YOU Harris Vaults Past Trump As The Bookies’ Favorite To Win Presidential Election Today�.
