If you only read three things this week...
Hello hello! We're heading into the peak travel season but already, I'm thinking about looking back with souvenirs. Nostalgia seems everywhere at the moment, from the Oasis reunion to my friends' children leaving the nest and heading off to study and travel. And so, souvenirs. I've had a lot of fun working on this post about how to make the most of travel souvenirs but it makes sense to share it now for two reasons.

Think Before You Travel The second reason is that it's sometimes helpful to think about souvenirs before you travel, so that's why I'm sending you this reminder now.

But beautiful souvenirs, thoughtfully purchased can contribute to local economies, preserve traditions and cheer you up while away and at home. We have a few guides on the topic, here are a few ideas to get you started:
Cheers, Abi

Inside the Travel Lab If you only read three things this week... Hello hello! Happy Birthday to Me! 🥂 I've been quieter than usual on social media lately, but I haven’t been idle. I’ve spent the first part of the year taking a look at all the AI inspired changes in the digital world and it's made me rethink a few things. I'm realising that the best travel stories - the ones that are a little more poetic, a little more thought provoking - need a new home. So that's what I've been working on...
