Tea from London. Chocolates from Monterey. A scarf from Cambridge. A mug from a New York library. Nutmeg syrup from Grenada. A tote from a Portland bookstore. Honey from my hometown. A wine glass from where I live now. I have a tea that makes me homesick for a place I’ve never lived and jams from places I used to.
I tend to prefer to pick up souvenirs that are useful or consumable… or memories. Which isn’t to say I don’t have stuff. I have stuff. More than I’m entirely happy with but I don’t focus on it and the active acquisition of stuff when I travel isn’t on the menu.
