The Souvenir That I Just Cannot Ever Use

February 17, 2016

We travelers all have that one souvenir that we look back at and go …Did I really buy this?

For me, it’s pencils.

Two pencils in particular.

It’s not that pencils are a bad purchase. They’re very useful. They can be handed off to other friends as a fun gift. They can remind you of where they were purchased. All good things to have in a travel souvenir.

But these pencils in particular I can never use and I can never give away.

Why?

They were $6. Six dollars for two pencils.

They are very pretty pencils. Wrapped in sheet music and purchased from a gift shop near the Sydney Opera House.

But because I paid a ridiculous exorbitant amount for pencils, I just can’t stand to ever use them up and have to throw them away.

Do you have any souvenirs that you just can’t stand to use up?

I’m a sucker for key chains. I don’t travel as much, currently (hopefully that changes once the kids are older), but any destination we go to, I come home with a key chain. It drives my husband so crazy to have a bunch of metal hanging around on the key holders, but I enjoy them!

    Haha! My husband hates keychains too! But they are such a practical and cheap souvenir to buy!

  • I’m Brianna and I’m possibly the funniest person I know. I’m a total goofball who loves to travel. I fell in love with the world in 2007, when my family and I moved to Sydney, Australia. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to see the world. I'm an ordinary adventurer here to show you how the average person can travel the world.
